Day in the life — tips for aspiring CEOs5. Workplace flexibility and remote work trends Quotables“I had the great privilege of sitting in boardrooms, and in most of my roles, I was the right-hand person of CEOs. I got to witness a lot of great leaders.” — @Tyra Tutor “Have a willingness to learn, a willingness to work hard, and make sure you have a good boss — someone who is willing to give you a chance and to give you new opportunities to make sure you aren't stagnant in your job.” — @Tyra Tutor “When you have a lot of brands, you're probably not going to be a household name, and you have to be okay with that. So your expectation has to be lower.” — @Tyra Tutor “Work hard, be there when no one else is, and do the tasks that no one else wants to do. Many times, I held roles and took on tasks that were not in my job description, and sometimes, that got me into a meeting I wouldn't otherwise be in.” — @Tyra Tutor “I like to surround myself with people who love to work hard. I'm not saying they don't have balance, but when they're at work, they're working hard. They have a good attitude and are ready to do whatever it takes to finish a job and give ourselves a well-done.” — @Tyra Tutor “The most important thing for the CEO was that what we told our client through marketing, what we told the public through PR, and what we reported to the Wall Street analysts with numbers was all consistent, transparent, and accurate. That hit home for me.” — @Tyra Tutor “One of the challenges that many companies face is marketing multiple brands for different niches. I see this with a lot of companies — they are going after different audiences, different verticals, and not getting the funding necessary to pull all that off.” — @JasonMudd9 If you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to share it with a colleague or friend.

A global survey conducted by Adecco Group and Oxford Economics has found that 41% of C-suite executives expect artificial intelligence (AI) to result in a reduced workforce over the next five years. The study, which polled executives from nine countries, also revealed that 46% of respondents plan to redeploy affected employees internally, while two-thirds intend to hire individuals with AI skills. A World Economic Forum survey, however, found that while 25% of companies anticipate job losses due to AI, 50% believe the technology will create new jobs. Earlier this year, Dropbox and Duolingo cited AI as the reason for implementing layoffs. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tonyphoang/message

Guest: Jâlie Cohen, Group SVP and Head of Global Talent at The Adecco Group Is the 'September Surge' actually happening in 2023 or is it just optimistic buzz? And who is currently driving the talent marketplace – Existing employees, prospective talent, or the employers? In this latest episode of the HR Works Podcast, we check on the pulse of the hiring market and examine the current buzz surrounding 'September Surge' with Jâlie Cohen, The Adecco Group's Group SVP and Head of Global Talent. An expert in leading talent acquisition and the talent experience initiatives, Jâlie shares her great insight on unique trends from the current talent pool and offers valuable advice to HR and talent acquisition leaders on where they should be investing their resources to be most-effective in the final months of 2023.

My guest this time is Helen Tomlinson - Head of Talent Development at The Adecco Group and the UK government's first ever Menopause Employment Champion.   In this voluntary role, Helen's focus is on encouraging employers to create more supportive environments to help women experiencing menopause to stay and progress in work.  We discuss some of the changes that Helen is hoping to enable over the next few years, to help organizations of all sizes support menopausal employees. There are exciting developments on the horizon, including a new hub for sharing and disseminating best practice, and a national allyship program, to provide support for those who are working in SMEs that simply don't have the same resources available as larger companies. We also talk about the free support already out there, including the new BSI free standard on menstrual health and menopause in the workplace (available at https://www.bsigroup.com/en-GB/standards/understanding-menopause-and-menstrual-health/)  We cover the ‘less visible' symptoms - loss of confidence, brain fog, not sleeping, anxiety - which can have more far-reaching impact than physical symptoms on those in more senior roles. Symptoms which are not only harder to articulate, but harder for employers to practically support with reasonable adjustments  - which makes it even more important for employers to find individualized solutions to allow them to remain in their role. Helen gives us a great personal example of how a manager leaping into solution mode and making assumptions can actually be counter-productive.   We also delve into the many ways companies can help create cultural change: senior people sharing their experiences top-down support vulnerable leadership modelling openness to others within the organization  allyship    You can also find us over on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/middlingalong_podcast/ and you can listen to past episodes at https://middlingalong.com     Join our newsletter, The Messy Middle, for fortnightly goodness into your Inbox: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/323784/90772270045202190/share  We're delighted to be listed as one of the Top 25 podcasts for midlife and menopause here: https://www.lattelounge.co.uk/podcasts-about-the-menopause/ It would mean so much if you'd subscribe, rate, and review us to share the love and help others find the podcast too!  You can also find me at https://www.instagram.com/managingthemenopause  or at www.managingthemenopause.com where we offer 1-1 coaching and workplace training.   Get our free 'Guide to your GP appointment' at https://www.managingthemenopause.com/free-resources

The speaker emphasized the need for recruiters to combine old-school and new-school techniques to achieve success and maintain personalization while building real relationships with customers. The conversation also discussed different models of recruitment agencies, including corporate conglomerates, independent virtual platforms, franchise models, and solopreneurs. Spengler talked about Frederick Fox's partner program, which offers independent contractors the opportunity to start at 80% commissions and scale up to 100% commissions through equity ties and profit sharing. He emphasized the importance of honesty, coachability, and humbleness when looking for recruiters to hire. The speaker shared their own experience of taking twelve years to reach a million in gross margin billings and highlighted the importance of consistency, routine, and holding oneself accountable to high metrics to become a successful recruiter. They also advised recruiters to adapt to the current market and target industries that are currently hot. The conversation also touched on the importance of onboarding and training for recruiters and the best ways to get clients in 2023. The speakers emphasized the need for recruiters to adapt to industries that are hot and use creative personalization at scale to target individuals based on random interests and grab their attention. The guest advised new recruiters to ask questions, learn from experienced recruiters, and set their ego aside. They shared a story about how they emulated the top producers in their division and became one of the top producers themselves. The conversation also touched on the importance of seeking out mentors and coaches and recommended the book Don't Feed the Monkey Mind by Jennifer Shannon, which helped them cope with anxiety and fear, allowing them to take on bigger challenges in their career. The guest emphasized the importance of adaptability and creativity in getting through a recession as a recruiter, sharing an example of a partner who targeted laboratory businesses that did COVID tests and was able to get 300 contractors out at laboratory sites during the pandemic. They also mentioned a quote about the eagle flying above the storm and avoiding it, which they found inspiring. Overall, the conversation provided valuable insights into the world of recruitment and highlighted the importance of maintaining a positive mindset, adapting to the industry environment, and combining old school and new school techniques to achieve success.

As Chris Schembra's guest on this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times demonstrates every day, bringing an attitude of gratitude to the sales process fosters the kinds of quality relationships that are foundational to long-term success. Alex Ridder, VP for Global Accounts at The Adecco Group in Switzerland, has helped make the $20 billion-a-year global recruitment company the powerhouse that it is by emphasizing connection. And there's nothing squishy about it! As you'll hear highlighted throughout the show, studies and research clearly demonstrate that emotion and promotion go hand-in-hand. Chris and Alex talk about the importance of bringing empathy into the workplace, whether through expressing appreciation for team members' efforts or building trust relationships with clients. Alex explains why transactional sales are self-limiting and while holding space for people to explore pain points and reach out for support opens up infinite consultative possibility. Human interaction, these two gratitude gurus agree, is a key differentiator in the marketplace. In a world of automation and depersonalization, it's our ability to offer openness and trust that sets us apart – professionally as well as personally. Tune in to learn about the hard science that backs up the power of gratitude to build community, secure relationships and cement positive outcomes all the way around. “I don't believe gratitude has a finite limit,” says Alex, who is also an Ambassador to Adecco's Win4Youth initiative. “Interpersonal conversation creates a much more transparent and joyous conversation … which then leads to greater business outcomes.”If you enjoyed this episode and would like to learn more about Chris and his 7:47 Virtual Gratitude Experience, please visit this link. And click here to listen to previous episodes of Gratitude Through Hard Times. KEY TOPICS:If you could give credit or thanks to one person in your life that you don't give enough credit or thanks to – that you've never thought to thank – who would that be? While there are numerous people to thank on a regular basis, it's his dad Rick that Alex can never thank enough. Although “all about the numbers” as a sales guy, gratitude plays a prominent role in Alex's life that can't be quantified. It's infinite!No Destination: There is no perfect thank-you note or endpoint for expressing gratitude. It's an ongoing journey without specific metrics or obligatory reciprocity.Authentic emotion is a key ingredient when communicating gratitude. The practice isn't meant to be a check-the-box, but an expression of something heartfelt and genuine.It's a Fact: It feels good to give and to receive gratitude. Most people overestimate potential awkwardness and underestimate the good feelings they'll experience.Gratitude in Groups: In addition to the pleasures of giving and receiving, an added element of gratification and teambuilding comes from witnessing such exchanges.Peer-to-Peer Gratitude: Make it a public event to encourage the free flow of generosity, trust and affirmation.About the Difference Between Being Grateful to Some Thing and Some One: It's less about the transaction and more about the emotional journey.Here's an exercise to try: When you think about the things for which you're grateful, look for measurable, specifics to identify and articulate the why.About the Relationship Between Luck and Gratitude:Alex explains what he believes is the “soft correlation” between having a positive mentality, gratitude towards the people around you and positive outcomes.Chris explains that luck is what happens to you while gratitude is a perspective you embrace irrespective of what happens to you.How do you wake up and set intention for the day? Do you put gratitude front and center? The choice is yours – and the results undeniable!Emotion to Promotion: A Google study has demonstrated that long-term sales relationships thrive when they are based on mutual, reciprocal generosity and trust.Why human interaction is a key differentiator within hyper-competitive marketplaces:Personal touch helps uncover specific pain points.Personalized solutions distinguish themselves by not being homogenized.The stronger the relationship, the more likely a solution and sale emerge.How empathy and holistic relationships – which springs from gratitude – are game-changing superpowers when injected into the buying/selling process.About sharing market insights that Adecco clients can use to build community and connect in meaningful ways.Why eliciting gratitude also often creates serendipitous interpersonal connections that knit teams together through psychological safety and trust.Melding Atelic with Telic: The importance of immersing in activities as both journey and destination, integrating gratitude along the path to achievement and connection. QUOTABLE“There's an infinity of gratefulness that you have and as you continue to appreciate what people have done for you … I don't believe gratitude has a finite limit.” (Alex)“When your gratitude practice is mainly formulaic or commoditized, it's doing good but not using gratitude to its fullest.” (Chris)“We advocate giving gratitude when you genuinely want to give gratitude, when you genuinely feel the emotion.” (Chris)“There is a mutual gratification in giving and receiving gratitude in an altruistic way.” (Alex)“To be grateful is to be grateful to someone. Be grateful for the person behind the thing you are grateful for in a measurable and specific way.” (Chris)“A positive attitude that includes a grateful disposition towards others is going to lead to more positive interactions with others, which others might skew as lucky.” (Alex)Gratitude is a choice and perspective. You can either wake up in the morning and dwell on the negative or wake up in the morning and appreciate the good.” (Chris)“It's hard to architect luck but it's very easy to architect gratitude. The choice is yours.” (Chris)“Showing gratitude can be a strong way of starting the empathy conversation and also to really allow for a trusting environment.” (Alex)“Interpersonal conversation creates a much more transparent and joyous conversation for everyone in general, which then leads to greater business outcomes – if I'm putting my sales hat back on.” (Alex) LINKS/FURTHER RESOURCES:More about Sara Algoe's research on the power of witnessing gratitude."I Want to Thank You: How a Year of Gratitude Can Bring Joy and Meaning in a Disconnected World,"by Gina Hamadey Bergman.Think With Google: "Promotion to Emotion: Connecting B2B Customers to Brands."About the community engagement and advocacy work of Jeni Asaba at Jamf, who creates affinity groups for Apple-focused IT admins. ABOUT OUR GUEST:Alex is the Vice President for Global Accounts at The Adecco Group in Switzerland, where he takes a people-first approach to enhance client experiences through strategic and consultative engagements.

This episode features highlights from our first season.  We hear from 7-time CIO Mark Settle, Brady Pyle, Deputy Chief Human Capital Officer at NASA, Tony Saldanha, former VP of Global Business Services at Procter & Gamble, and more. Together, they bring you the most relevant insights to help you attract and retain world-class talent, implement effective tech tools, and improve leadership skills.Quotes*“There is this trap we fall into of assuming we know what employees want and what they need. And we don't. We can make some generalizations, but we need to ask. We need to be asking the questions to understand truly what employees need inside an organization. And we need to understand that will evolve and change.” - Joey Wilkerson, Employee Experience Lead and Acquisition Integration Manager at Cisco*“I began to challenge some of those notions around leadership. And I have seen, I have observed and experienced that you can be yourself and be an effective leader.” - Brady Pyle, Deputy Chief Human Capital Officer at NASA*“How do we get engagement of 38,000 people so they feel connected? And engagement that doesn't stop. Engagement that is ongoing and engagement that makes them an active participant in our brand, in our vision, in our story in our strategy, and connected? That, for me, this is about being human. Yes, tools and technology. And we'll talk about tools and technology. And I know very likely to ask me about that as well. They play a role.

Interview with Sezin Ninic – Sezin is the Global Vice President of Talent Management at The Adecco Group. Her purpose is to unlock the human potential and to make the workplaces better place for people.

This episode features an interview with Philip O'Donnell, Group SVP of Global Data Platforms at the Adecco Group, the world's leading talent advisory and solutions company. Philip has 13 years of experience in data analytics leadership and strategy consulting across a variety of industries. Prior to the Adecco Group, Philip served as Director of Data Science at Lee Hecht Harrison. On this episode, Philip discusses managing data at a big enterprise, how to prevent business decisions based on bad data, and turning data into dollars.Quotes*”Just showing data to people leaves it up to their interpretation. And that's not usually the value you're providing. You're there to communicate something to them. And we talk about things like data storytelling or crafting narratives with the data, because data by itself is just too unhelpful. You really have to turn that into something that people can understand, and that's a different skill set than it is to just analyze and reproduce the same information.”*”Most large firms are struggling with knowing that it's better to have all this data in the same place. But that's really hard, and it takes investment, and it takes time, and it takes executive commitment and buy-in, and I'm blessed to be able to have that Adecco. They have really put the focus on, ‘Let's figure this out.' Like, ‘We know it's hard. We know it's not easy, but let's do it. Let's make sure that we're dedicating the resources to do it.'”*”It was always the question of how much do you trust the data that you're getting? As data professionals will tell you, we don't create the data. We're getting it, we're interpreting it, we're reading it, we're organizing it, we're structuring it. But we don't create it. Something else creates it, some sort of business process. And I'm not in charge of that. So in some cases, the data quality is, did the report refresh on time? Now that's the kind of data quality that we, as data, professionals should be able to own. But the other kind of data quality is, did someone enter it in the system correctly? And we can't really control that. But what we can do is give visibility to whether or not that's happening correctly.”*”It's one thing for a report to be wrong. It's a different thing for you to tell the person that report is wrong so that they don't use it to make a decision. And then there's some sort of a process that's correcting it. And I think that's where we have to try to focus, is it's a very realistic assessment of what our scope can be as data professionals. And we mostly focused on informing and visibility. If there are data quality issues, the worst case scenario is that someone makes a decision on bad data.”*”If there's a piece of data that we're asking people for as a part of the process and it's not actually required for the process, [but just] because we want to know it, it's going to be very difficult to have that be high quality [data]. Because there's not an incentive from the person entering it, other than the threat of being yelled at because you didn't do it right… So if you can give ways of providing value to those users with the data that they're putting in, then you create a sort of incentive feedback loop… You have to provide ways of giving people incentive to enter the right information that is actually then helping them do their job better instead of it just being something that management dictates you have to put in.” *”You need to understand the data. You need to understand what it can tell you, what it can't tell you, and then you need to figure out what you can do [with it], because that's how you demonstrate value.” Time Stamps[7:09] The role of the data professional[10:09] Consolidating mass amounts of data at a large company[11:07] Risk management and controlling exfiltration[15:18] Proving value and ROI in data[20:50] Understanding incidental data and how to monetize it[24:20] To centralize or to decentralize the data?[29:09] Learning to trust the data[31:40] Incentivizing accurate data inputLinksConnect with Philip on LinkedInCheck out the Adecco GroupConnect with Rob on LinkedInFollow Rob on TwitterThanks to our friendsTruth Be Known is brought to you by Talend, a leader in data integration and data integrity, enabling every company to find clarity amidst the chaos.

This episode features an interview with Jâlie Cohen. She is the Group SVP of HR Americas at The Adecco Group. She leads EX for the 9,000 employees across the U.S., Canada and Latin America. In this episode, Jâlie talks about launching a new recruiting system, running a successful onboarding experience, and how the employee experience starts way before hire, with brand perception.Quotes*”Everyone owns the employee experience. Oftentimes I'll read periodicals that really focus on what we, as HR, can do. And I think that we miss the opportunity to say how employees are also equally responsible for ensuring that they have a great employee experience as well by leveraging the tools that they are provided, by having a self-developing focus on, ‘how can I go out and self-serve myself,' versus waiting for people to come to me to offer an experience.”*”By the time a person has decided to apply for your role, they're applying to the brand. How you brand yourself in the market is critical. Employees are not only being extremely selective, but they are deciding whether you're aligned from a value perspective.”*”When someone joins an organization, don't forget the importance of human connectedness. It can be a small item, something as simple as a branded coffee mug and a note from you to let them know that you're expecting them… Make sure you're taking the time to personalize the onboarding experience. That first impression is key.”Time Stamps*[4:28] The Flight Plan: Get to know The Adecco Group*[8:19] First Class: Best EX practices at The Adecco Group*[29:34] Turbulence: EX lessons learned*[36:33] Advice for other EX leadersLinksConnect with Jâlie on LinkedInCheck out ChiefCheck out OneTenThanks to our friendsThis episode is brought to you by Firstup, the company that is redefining the digital employee experience to put people first and lift companies up by connecting every worker, everywhere with the information that helps them do their best work.
