In this episode I spoke with Founder & President of Peak Consulting Group and author of The Work-Life Balance Myth: Rethinking Your Optimal Balance for Success Dave McNeff. We talk about why Millennials aren’t taking any time to just simply think and how thinking time has given the leaders he coaches the ability to prepare for the next set of challenges. He walks me through his “Seven-Slice Method” and what he calls the rules of engagement for high performing teams.

With the SEC’s recent creation of a Climate and ESG Task Force, you may be hearing the acronym even more than usual. But what exactly is ESG and why should you care? As you’ll learn in this episode, ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance and it’s only increasing in its importance to customers, investors and employers.

Say what you will about Gen z, they now comprise the entire traditional- age undergraduate college demographic. This means that employers will do everything they can to better understand this age group. Companies want and need to get inside the minds of Gen Z current and future employees and Gen Z consumers. What better place to start than with their educators? In this episode I spoke with Jeff Wilks and Brian Voigt, both of BYU, about everything from Zoom fatigue to virtual interview skills and what this generation is looking for from their future employers. As part of this recorded live Q&A, I also spoke with Robert Half’s Jason Flanders about the biggest trends in recruiting, hiring and onboarding.

Special Guests: Brian Voigt, Jason Flanders, and Jeff Wilks.

One silver lining of the COVID-19 crisis is the way companies have been forced to reexamine their approached to diversity, equity and inclusion. And many of the best-in-class employee experience strategies boil down to a pretty simple concept: listen to your employees.
