We have surveyed hundreds of clients and thousands of workers around hybrid workplace and there is a big opportunity for leaders to focus on engaging workers right now. Take a listen to this episode to find out more. 

Many clients are saying that onboarding new workers has taken on a new challenge in regards to communicating culture and providing relevant training. Hybrid workplace provides new opportunities for onboarding such as leveraging collaboration tools and having clear communication strategies. Listen in on this quick episode on how to onboard new workers successfully in a hybrid workplace. 

In this episode I refer to a recent Fast Company survey that outlines the actual perks workers are looking for in today's workplace.  We continue to see articles and news items on the great resignation and the key driver of people leaving their jobs is lack of flexibility and autonomy. 

In this episode I share results from a HubSpot survey that ranked what workers want from their managers/leaders and employers. The results may surprise you. 

With the worker shortage predicted to last until at least 2030 we are seeing many companies look at new ways to engage with their retiring workforce. Baby Boomers (Zoomers) are choosing to delay retirement OR they are retiring as planned and then looking for projects and contract work. This approach is a win win for both companies and the retiree. The company gets to retain long time experience and knowledge but without rehiring on a full time basis. The typical arrangement for a returnship is short term projects, contracts or season work. A lot of the returnships are used to help companies focus on focused knowledge transfer. Listen in for more on this interesting trend. 

The workers market is here to stay for a while and Beyonce's new song "Break My Soul" has led to a Twitter conversation around 'quitting your job' to find something more aligned with the soul. In this episode I share some insights on the different generations and how they are perceiving the workers market and what they likely will do based on unique perspectives. It's helpful to remember that generational values is not ageism - rather its a perspective that helps us to better understand the range of values and attitudes based on a person's vantage point of environmental influences growing up and current situational viewpoints. EVERY generation wants the same things - to connect, to engage and to grow. 

In this episode I share the proprietary me to we mindset model we created at NextMapping to help leaders and team members increase self awareness. This model is also a great tool to see where we are on the collaboration scale. Listen to hear the key components of thinking and communicating  from a 'we' mindset .
