Have you ever wondered what it takes to catapult your company into the future of work? That's exactly what we're unpacking with Dan Michelson, a visionary leader who's redefining the role of HR in the modern workplace. In his transformative new book "Holy Shift," Dan unveils the game-changing strategies that propelled his high-growth company to the top echelons of Glassdoor amid the turbulence of COVID-19 and the great resignation. Through the lens of his extensive experience, we dissect the CORE elements crucial to employee engagement – Community, Opportunity, Relationships, and Experiences – and how these play a pivotal role in shaping a company's culture and workforce productivity.

Picture a workplace where every employee feels an indelible sense of belonging and opportunity for growth. I had a profound conversation with Dan about the strategic importance of these elements, not just for HR professionals but for every manager and CEO committed to nurturing a vibrant company culture. We reflected on the transformative power of genuine relationships and the daily experiences that can be the deciding factor between an employee's loyalty or departure. Dan's insights elevate the conversation from theory to practice, offering a practical toolkit that any listener can apply to foster a workplace that thrives on the collective success of its people.

And for a light-hearted finish, Dan and I riff on a musical note, sharing a chuckle over my son's drum set and the whimsical idea of a family band collaboration. This episode is more than a guide; it's an inspiration for HR leaders and managers alike to embrace the evolution of their roles and to become the conductors of change, orchestrating a workplace symphony that's harmonious with the future of work. So tune in and let's harmonize your company's culture with the rhythm of innovation and engagement.
