“Success looks like a zigzag, not a straight line. We must reflect and appreciate the small wins along the way.”

In this Future of Work episode, Rebecca is joined by Sam Sivarajan, business leadership speaker, coach, and consultant, to focus on redefining the concept of work and success. Sam shares the importance of designing work systems with purpose and connection, accommodating the evolving needs of an aging workforce, and the need for flexibility in employer-employee relationships.

Tune in to learn how we should start viewing success, the power of creative thinking for future workplace needs, and why we need to rethink work culture and meetings.

1. Engage in meaningful conversations with employees about alternative work models before retirement to retain value and knowledge
2. Meetings should have a clearly defined purpose, preferably decision-making, and should be efficiently executed to avoid wasted time and frustration
3. Appreciate small wins and understand that sometimes setbacks are necessary for greater progress
