Welcome back to Blended! Today, we're talking about generational diversity. Demographic change is one of the biggest issues facing contemporary workplaces. The working-age population in the US is reportedly contracting at a pace not seen since World War Two but, unlike that time, there's no expected baby boom to compensate for it – in fact, each generation is getting smaller. We now find ourselves with a shrinking younger population and a growing older one. But, despite that reality – showing a clear need for older people to remain in the workforce – we've actually seen a surge of those older people exiting the workplace in the last few years. From early retirement and what Harvard Business Review called a “caustic mix of ageism and cost-cutting measures during the pandemic,” businesses let older people go, without considering the reality of recruiting and retaining the younger workers to fill those roles. And, as a consequence, we've seen many organizations struggle to build and maintain reliable, resilient, and effective workplaces. It's clear that, in order to set themselves up for success now and in the future, organizations need to embrace generational diversity – they need to learn to bring those cultures together, leverage their varied skillsets, and build environments that allow everybody to shine. So, our panel are diving into all of that today. They'll be talking about what generational diversity means; labels placed onto different generations, and the typical perspectives and working styles you might expect from them; navigating difficult conversations in the workplace; and how to put a focus on nurturing generationally diverse working cultures. IN THIS EPISODE: [01.40] Introductions to our Blended panellists. · Merlinda – Chief Community Strategist/Consultant at Community Sauce · Betty – Business Continuity Management Consultant at Kildow Consulting · Crystal – Founder and Head of Partnerships at Digital Culture Group · Annik – Marketing Strategist and Social Media Manager [05.40] The group explore the fundamentals of generational diversity; the labels placed on generations; navigating different perspectives and misunderstandings; and managing difficult conversations. · Changing work environments · Working towards shared goals · Grace · Acceptance · Openness · Embracing the natural cycle · Generational groups, eg. Millennial, Gen Z, Gen X, Baby Boomers, etc o Personality traits o Perspectives o Ways of working o What each generation brings to the table o Finding the balance o Getting to know people as individuals · Differences between America and Europe, different cultures · Bias · Stereotypes · Connection · Influence · Misunderstanding · Training · Mediators · Bringing in professionals in people and culture · How we navigate tough conversations · Influence of an organization's culture · Influence of gender · Embracing difference · Worth · Judgment · Preconceptions · Traditional/reverse mentorship · Sponsorship · Allyship · Vulnerability “Are there differences? Yes. Are they something we have to fear, and worry about overcoming? No! Generational diversity is something we should accept, embrace – and look for the value.” Betty “To me, the biggest concern in generational diversity is people not being open to one another. There's where problems arise.” Annik “Maybe it's our way of understanding people, we want to put them in a category. Bu that's a mistake… There isn't one person in the world that is going to comfortably and totally fit into a box. We're all the sum of so many different components.” Betty “Millennials are kind of scrappy! We're going to say what we feel, because respect is our number one priority... We had to deal with so much to change the workplace to what it is now, from convenience to diversity, we had to fight for that to happen.” Crystal “I've noticed resistance to my perspective... As a Gen Zer, sometimes I feel misunderstood.” Annik [51.24] The panel reflects on their personal experiences of generational diversity in the workplace, and what they learned. · Ego · Pride · Role of therapy · Empathy · Lack of understanding · Asking questions · Responsibility · Leadership · Appreciating the contributions of other generations [01.18.13] The group discussed how we prioritize generational diversity while managing other pressing DEI issues in the workplace and shared some practical tips. In a survey by the Living, Learning, and Earning Longer Collaborative Initiative, more than 8 in 10 global leaders recognized that multigenerational workforces are key to growth. However, less than half of companies include age diversity in their DEI initiatives. · Age-neutral language · Eliminating age bias in hiring · Flexibility · Communication styles · Customized benefits “Companies are acknowledging that in order to diversify their hiring, they have to diversify their offerings.” Merlinda [01.26.35] The panel sums up their thoughts from today's discussion. “Every generation has a superpower, and when you learn how to leverage that superpower, it makes you a powerhouse.” Merlinda RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: You can connect with Merlinda, Annik, Crystal and Betty over on LinkedIn.

They discuss the alarming statistics, personal stories, and regulatory changes that every international trade professional needs to know.

Educating your team, auditing your supply chain, and leveraging technology are key steps. - GTC is offering a specialized forced labor compliance course, taught by Renee and experts with firsthand experience, to provide a comprehensive, hands-on approach to this critical issue.

Main Points/Takeaways: 1. US Solar Panel Manufacturers Seek Tighter "Made in USA" Rules: US solar panel manufacturers are pushing for stricter rules governing tax credits for solar projects using domestic components. The current loophole allows developers to meet the content threshold without using American-made solar panels, which raises concerns about the use of forced labor in China's solar industry. 2. Soaring Shipping Rates from China to the US: Container shipping rates from Shanghai to US destinations are reaching almost $10,000 per standard 40-foot container, with industry experts predicting a potential rise to $20,000 per container in the future. This trend is driving importers and industry experts to explore alternative sourcing options, such as near-shoring, to mitigate the impact on their supply chains. 3. Switzerland's Crackdown on Russian Sanctions Violations: Switzerland has launched investigations into over 50 potential sanctions violations related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with 15 penalties imposed so far. This development highlights the increasing global efforts to enforce sanctions and the importance for trade professionals to stay up-to-date on compliance requirements. This episode of the Simply Trade podcast provides valuable insights for trade professionals navigating the complex and ever-changing global trade landscape.

Jessica Klepser's Leben veränderte sich am 04.01.2024 von einer Sekunde auf die andere. Auf dem Rückflug nach Los Angeles von einem Weihnachtsurlaub in der Karibik stürzte ein Kleinflugzeug vom Typ Bellanca 17-30A Super Viking aus bislang unbekannten Gründen unmittelbar nach dem Start ins Meer. An Bord der Maschine waren Jessicas Ex-Mann, der Schauspieler Christian Oliver, ihre gemeinsamen Töchter Madita und Annik sowie der Pilot. Alle Insassen kamen bei dem Absturz ums Leben. Ich selbst landete zwei Tage vor dem Unglück in Los Angeles, um ein paar Wochen Urlaub bei und mit Jessicas Familie zu verbringen. Geplant war ein unbeschwertes Wiedersehen mit Freunden, doch es kam anders. Jessica und ich haben gemeinsam überlegt, ob es Sinn macht, so kurz nach dem schweren Verlust ein Gespräch in Podcast-Form aufzunehmen; und haben uns letztendlich dafür entschieden. Im Mittelpunkt unserer Unterhaltung stehen nicht der Unglückstag, sondern Jessicas und auch meine persönlichen Erfahrungen und Emotionen in den unmittelbaren Tagen und Wochen danach, sowie unsere Erkenntnis, dass selbst eine erschütternde Tragödie wie diese ihre hellen Seiten haben kann. FROM DONE TO DARE, heute für Madita, Annik und Christian – die viel zu früh von uns gegangen und für immer in unseren Herzen sind.

Unravel the mystic tales of trade laws as the "Simply Trade" podcast takes a comically unique dive into France's peculiar import laws regarding clown paraphernalia in this week's episode of trade news roundup. Hosted by Annik, Lalo, and Andy, the show is a delightful blend of information and light-hearted banter. Main Points The quirky highlight of the episode is the discussion about a curious trade law implemented in France around 2014 that bans the importation of any items related to clown outfits due to a wave of violence linked to people dressed up as clowns. The intriguing part is that the revocation of this law isn't yet established, arousing the curiosity of our hosts and listeners alike. The team digs into the increasing tensions in the automotive industry between unions and manufacturers due to the possible automation introduced by manufacturing Electric Vehicles (EVs). Notably, they point out how the shift towards EVs, encouraged by the same unions, might be creating a job crisis with the decrease of manual labor. Unions now face the challenge of securing employment in an increasingly automated industry. The potential implications of the looming auto strikes in Detroit are discussed extensively. Particularly, they reflect on how such strikes could disrupt supply chains and create a ripple effect on vendors, possibly leading to a slowdown or halting production. The hosts also emphasize the need for businesses to plan for disruptions, ensure timely invoicing, and adapt to the rapidly shifting landscape. The "Simply Trade" podcast generously serves insights with a garnish of humor in this fascinating episode, skillfully threading the lines between legal quirks and pressing industry disruptions like impending auto strikes. By navigating through critical trade scenarios, the team underlines the importance of adaptability in business and awareness of global trends. Enjoy the show.

Tune into our episode with Annik Welsh, a Social Media Manager and a certified Confidence & Social Media Coach. Two titles we've never heard together, but my goodness is that needed! We know we aren't alone when we hit those moments of imposter syndrome and feeling paralyzed by the need to be perfect. Especially when it comes to Instagram. We personally loved this episode with Annik because she dug into some actionable mindset blocks and some tips and tools to conquer them. We can't wait for you to meet her!
