In this episode of Just Press Record, I've brought together two incredible minds who've never met before and an incredibly inspiring conversation ensued. Meet Dr. Hal Hershfield, the future self guru from UCLA, and Julia Carreon, a thought-leader in finance and technology. We dive deep into how we see what Hal's research calls our "future selves" and why it matters. Julia shares her journey of quitting a high-profile job to pursue a passion project, and then pivoting again. Hal breaks down the psychology behind these big life decisions, and we explore how generations from Boomers to Gen Z are reshaping the workplace. We tackle some heavy topics too, like the challenges women face in male-dominated fields and how to bridge the gap between generations in family businesses. But don't worry, we keep it light with some unexpected detours into pop culture (who knew a cartoon dog named Bluey could teach us so much about society?). Whether you're plotting your next career move, trying to understand your kids (or your parents), or just love a good conversation about human nature, this episode's got something for you. So grab a drink, press play, and let's get curious together!

The Great Resignation is still a U.S. problem, if not a global issue as we continue in recessionary times, according to the Department of Labor's (DOL) and Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) economic outlook reports. The Great Resignation, also known as the Big Quit and the Great Reshuffle, is an ongoing economic trend in which employees have voluntarily resigned from their jobs en masse, beginning in early 2021 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. As an inter-disciplinarian within both the workforce management industry for 20 years as an executive expert and as a college professor, Dr. Amy Keely says that psychology is the actual pressure behind the Great Resignation, which is generationally driven based on (i) ‘voluntary mandatory overtime,' (ii) COVID, (iii) educational failures, iv) entitlement, (v) social media, and (vi) governmental workforce tampering as a disrupter force. Join UnScripted as we talk with Professor Amy Keeley about our economic times as we take a different road in this episode. It is unike any episode we have done before.

In today's Work Matters, host Thomas Bertels welcomes Niels Pflaeging. Niels is a well-known speaker, consultant, and author of "OpenSpace Beta" and "Leading with Flexible Targets."His open-source Beta Codex Network grew out of the Beyond Budgeting movement and expanded into a broader framework to drive transformation from alpha - top down, command and control - towards beta - decentralized, cell-based, agile ways of working.He discusses the proliferation of outdated management models and how the underlying mental models hinder an organization's ability to make change.From there, Niels unpacks what we can learn from pioneers such as Southwest, Toyota, and Handelsbanken. And lastly, he puts Beta in the context of "The Big Quit" and shares how command and control models stifle potential, human motivation, and the joy of work. He reveals how management's role is to create conditions for work to succeed and that leadership functions best when it hires great people - and gets out of the way.

The Great Resignation, also known as the Big Quit, is an economic trend in which employees voluntarily resign from their jobs en masse, beginning in early 2021, primarily in the United States. It has been said the trend is in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the American government refusing to provide necessary worker protections, and wage stagnation despite a rising cost of living. Some economists have described the Great Resignation as a kind of general strike while discussing Striketober, a wave of strikes in October 2021.Sign up for a free 30-day trial of the SNS Global Report - The world's most reliable source of advanced information at the intersection of technology and the economy for 25 years. https://www.stratnews.com/subscribe/

"Quiet quitting" has been getting a lot of attention of late. So many young people have been rejecting “hustle culture”, which puts work at the centre of a person's life and can lead to burnout. On this podcast, we've talked about a lot of factors affecting young workers and their mental health in recent times. It's pretty well established that the Covid pandemic was a game changer, in that flexible working models became the norm and everybody started reassessing their priorities in life. We've seen the Big Quit, also known as the Great Resignation, and the Tang Ping movement in China too. And “quiet quitting” is not dissimilar. Is that like slipping out the back door? Is quiet quitting a good thing? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions ! To listen to the latest episodes, click here: How is the #Periodsomnia campaign helping to close the period sleep gap?

On this episode of SPS, our resident financial guru sits down with Pamela to discuss the so-called Great Resignation, or “Big Quit”. They take up the concerns over birth rates & mental illness, as well as how social democratic policies naturalize the crisis of capital. In the second half of the episode, Pamela interviews Andy Gittlitz, cohost of the Antifada podcast and author of I Want to Believe: Posadism, UFOs and Apocalypse Communism. They discuss the trajectory of the millennial left, from the anti-war movement, through Occupy to BLM; and the obstacles to building an independent political party on the left.

A company's greatest asset is its people. It does not matter how innovative your product or services are; the people who stand behind the products and services interact with the customer and continue to innovate to move a company forward. In March 2020, as companies struggled to move their workforces remotely, employers also faced “The Big Quit”. As a result, many companies struggled to retain employees, but those companies that forged a collaborative and flexible culture thrived. In this episode, we look at how one company in the digital marketing/technology sector shifted their workforce, developed a great company culture and rose to the top of its market segment by encouraging employees to contribute and collaborate.

Mucho se ha hablado en Puerto Rico y en los Estados Unidos sobre “Big Quit”, o el “Gran Renunción”, como yo le llamo acá en la “Isla del Espanto”. Pero, los mercados de empleo no son monolíticos, y mucho menos estáticos. Lo que sí son es predecibles. La semana pasada el gobierno de Puerto Rico anunció una nueva legislación para propiciar el empleo de personas de la tercera edad. A mí no me sorprendió en nada. Mucho tardaron. Después de todo, nuestros legisladores son incapaces de producir nada nuevo. Y eso del empleo de personas de la tercera edad no es más que un refrito de una idea que se implantó en la década de los 80s en Nueva York luego de la gran emigración causada por la debacle económica de la ciudad en aquella época. De repente encontraron que la gente en edad productiva y reproductiva se habían marchado del Estado y no contaban con el talento necesario para llenar los puestos de trabajo. ¿Qué tuvieron que hacer? Ir en busca de los retirados. En Puerto Rico está sucediendo lo mismo, pero por razones muy distintas. Desde mediados de la década de los 90s las distintas administraciones han venido implantando políticas de empleo desacertadas que han ido minando la fe del empleado en la economía. Eso ha causado una emigración masiva de la gente en edad productiva y reproductiva que ha tenido el efecto de elevar la mediana de edad a los 42 años. Despidos, deformas laborales, legislación antiobrera y ahora una pandemia se han combinado para ahuyentar al trabajador, y a la vez convencerle de que hay otras maneras de ganarse la vida sin estar a expensas de los vaivenes políticos y las torpezas gubernamentales. Hace unos años trataron de atraer a los miles de médicos que han abandonado la Isla. No le funcionó. Ahora pretenden atraer a los retirados. A los mismos que empujaron al retiro prematuro con la ley 7 de Luis Fortuño y luego de redujeron los beneficios de retiro mediante la Junta de Control Fiscal. Ah, y a los pocos que no se retiraron le redujeron todos los beneficios adquiridos mediante una llamada “reforma laboral”, que fue más bien una “deforma laboral”. ¿Pues sabes qué? No le va a funcionar. ¿Sabes por qué? Porque mucha de esa gente ya no están en Puerto Rico. Se fueron cuando el gobierno los botó. Ahora viven en los Estados Unidos con sus hijos y familiares. Han hecho vidas nuevas y no se le ha perdido nada en Puerto Rico. La idea del Empleo De Personas De La Tercera Edad es buena en términos económicos. El problema es que va a contrapelo del comportamiento que ha exhibido el gobierno durante los pasados 40 años y de la realidad histórica que viven los puertorriqueños. Y, como aprendí de uno de mis profesores de historia en la universidad: “a la historia no se le da hacia atrás”. El Empleo De Personas De La Tercera Edad funcionaría si el gobierno no hubiera sido tan ruin con los trabajadores. Funcionaría si la gente pudiera confiar en el gobierno. Funcionaría si no estuvieran viviendo en otro lugar. Y, funcionaría si no estuvieran haciendo otra cosa. El empleo de personas de la tercera edad no va a funcionar porque muchos de nuestros retirados ya pasaron la página. Y no va a funcionar porque los tecnócratas que crean estas leyes en el vacío no entienden que hay personas para las que la vida es mucho más que dinero. Así que de eso es que vamos a hablar hoy.

Christians say, "we want to do it the way the New Testament shows us to do it." Or more earnestly, "we want to do it the way Jesus said to govern." So just what do history and the New Testament show us? I work through three standard churchly models—episcopal, presbyterian, and congregational—to think with nuance about Christian governance. Also, what about the Big Quit? What's going on? How did a corporate culture play into my own decision?

While men have regained nearly all the jobs they lost since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we're still missing 2 million women. So where have all the women gone?

Today Debbie speaks with Bradley Schurman about the megatrend of an aging population, both in the U.S. and globally. Bradley is a demographic futurist and the author of a provocative new book: The Super Age: Decoding Our Demographic Destiny.The aging of our population represents the intersection of two other megatrends: decreased birth rates and increased longevity. The numbers are staggering: By 2030, one out of five Americans will be over 65. To put it another way, In the next two years the number of those 65 and over, in the U.S., will be equal to those under 18. So what does this mean? Well it's complicated. Obviously it means that society needs to adapt and to change. But Debbie's question to Bradley is, will it - and how long will it take? There are so many interrelated factors.In his book he talks about the economy (the impact on social security and medicare and more), societal attitudes (meaning ageism), workplace policies, lifetime education and training, housing, geography (urban vs. rural), advertising and marketing, and the startling inequities in longevity between the well off and the poor and between races.In their conversation they focus on the workplace and the changes that will have to happen in order for businesses and the economy to thrive. Bradley is an incorrigible optimist, as you'll hear, and Debbie so very much wants to believe him. In his future scenario older workers will be welcomed into the workforce well past retirement age, both society and government will change how older people are viewed and treated, and older people will move from the sidelines where they are now, often seen as expendable and not useful, to center stage. Bradley says this can happen in a decade. Debbie is skeptical about how fast we'll see change. Lots to think about in this conversation and in Bradley's new book.

The Great Resignation, The Great Attrition, The Big Quit - whatever you want to call it, Steve Browne isn't buying it.

“How in the heck do we keep people?” is the question on every leader's mind right now in the midst of The Big Quit happening all around us. In today's episode, co-hosts Richard Lindner and Jeff Mask sit down to talk about the tension of employee retention. Specifically, retaining the most talented people who are the best fit for your company. Of course you don't want them to leave. And as difficult and scary as that thought might be, there are some really simple (not easy) ways to make sure it doesn't happen. Listen in as they share some dos and some don'ts of keeping the right people on your team. Retention Starts with the Leader's Mindset As Jeff and Richard talk to other people at different levels of leadership organizationally, they're hearing a lot of stressful talk about retention. How do we keep people from leaving? Why are they leaving? Is this my fault? Tell me what to do! Jeff says one aspect of leadership that can happen is that you finally find the right team, a great fit, and you develop a scarcity mindset of “I hope nobody leaves.” He had a manager once with this underlying attitude of “I'm paying you well. You should be grateful. Your only way to grow is in this company and nowhere else.” The employees felt like they were under his thumb, like they were owned. He believes this is why much of the workforce is saying, “I'm done with this. I don't have to keep enduring what I've endured. I don't have to put up with this fear-based tactic.” Covid has opened our eyes to what matters, to what we're willing to put up with. Jeff thinks that the lack of care and love for individuals is what has led to the Great Resignation. It's not the only thing, but it's a big part of it. It's time to rethink and not repeat the habits and behaviors of that manager. Have you had that leader? Have you been that leader? Are you that leader right now? We need to talk about how to retain people in a more healthy, holistic, long-term way of thinking, instead of a short-term, scarce, fear-based way of thinking. Some things are obvious. Don't make your team members feel owned. Don't posture as if they're lucky to have this job. Don't ask for inappropriate chunks of their personal time as the norm. Other things are less obvious and will take some thought and maybe even some trial and error. Building a Sense of Belonging A sense of belonging is so important in a workplace, but how do you build that? Richard has tried some things in the past that just didn't work. They did team lunches once a week one time. The budget ballooned, and people would get their food and sit in the corner with their cliques. It had little to no effect on anyone's sense of belonging. If you're not prioritizing knowing your team, there's no way you'll know what to do or if it's working. You need a cadence of communication. Jeff and Richard believe weekly one-on-ones are the key. They're one of the best retention builders. And you need to posture the one-on-one as their time, not yours. Your “agenda” is getting to know them first and giving them clarity second. Building relationships is key. It's easy for an employee to leave when there's no relationship. Jeff plays devil's advocate for a minute. “Weekly one-on-ones? You don't realize how busy I am or how many people I'm leading. We work together daily. We don't need one-on-ones.” Yeah, you do. Doing meaningful work together is great. Get stuff done and that builds bonding. But if you only do that, and you don't dedicate time to finding out their hopes, dreams, and aspirations, it won't be enough. This is not a secondary task of leadership. It's a primary task. That significant carved-out space over weeks and months is the most effective people-building time and a preventative measure to keep people from leaving. What Do One-on-Ones Look
Millions of people left their jobs last year, and the elephant in every office right now is: how do we talk about money? In today's episode, co-hosts Richard Lindner and Jeff Mask tackle the difficult topic of salaries and raises head-on. 2021 was the Big Quit, the Great Resignation, the Year the Employee Leaves. Everyone has felt it. When 38+ million employees in the U.S. quit their jobs in a single calendar year, everyone feels it. That's a lot of people walking out. That's a lot of investment in training and onboarding and growth. That's a really big hit. So, what are we going to do about it? If you're a leader freaking out a little (or a lot) about this right now, know that you're not alone. Listen in as Jeff and Richard calmly and wisely walk us through next steps. Let's Be Honest: No One Really Knows What Richard is hearing from people he leads and in his communities, masterminds, and from other CEOs, executives, and mid-level managers is this: My employees are asking for raises, and I don't know what to do. I don't know how much to pay them. I don't know if I should pay over market. I don't even know what the hell market is right now. Richard doesn't know either. He says it feels like we're sitting here bidding on a house in the hottest real estate market out there. How much over market do we have to go? There are times when the answer is whatever it takes. Sometimes it's none. How do you know? The next big question is: How do you have these conversations with team members? If they haven't asked, they're thinking about it, building up the courage to ask. The longer they've waited, the bigger issue it's become in their minds. When they do ask, how do we have that conversation from power, not fear? From humility and vulnerability? How do we model leadership practices and principles within that conversation? How do we stop waiting for them to ask and just initiate, so it's not this big elephant in the room? Avoid Panic and Emotionally-Driven Decisions Richard passes the puck to Jeff who doesn't have solid answers either, but he does have some really good ideas. His first tip is to avoid extremes. Don't panic. Don't rush into decisions that are driven by emotion. This time may seem unprecedented, but he and Richard have seen a lot of ebbs and flows over the past 20+ years. They've been through up markets and down markets. There are some tried and true principles that can give you peace, clarity, confidence, and unity as a leadership team. You need to be unemotional. This doesn't mean you don't care about your people. It means your decisions aren't rash and made in the moment based on feelings. (Like panicking and thinking, “I can't lose this person!”) You need to be united as a leadership team. You need responsibility and alignment. You have to do what's best for both the person and the company as a whole. Looking at a situation unemotionally means that the question isn't “What are we going to pay Jeff?” But: “How do we pay here?” You need an agreed-upon compensation strategy upfront from the beginning. When this is missing, there will be friction and tension. You need to know what your principal stance on compensation is at your company. What's your compensation methodology? If you're not in charge of this at your company, ask your leader that question. Clarify and Communicate Your Compensation Strategy Conversations around money are much easier when everyone understands the company's compensation methodology. And when that methodology has been clearly communicated to all employees. The whole team needs to be aligned. You're overtaxing everyone when you don't have a methodology or documented compensation guide that everyone agrees to. What are your company's guiding principles around compensation? Some companies strategically pay just under market, some just...

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 4 million Americans quit their jobs in July 2021. Resignations peaked in April and have remained abnormally high for several months, with a record-breaking 10.9 million open jobs at the end of July. The trend has not yet hit Europe in the forces like in the U.S.. Still, Personio recently conducted a study among Dutch workers which had ‘US-like results', wherein it found that 46% of those surveyed planned to quit in the next six months to a year — five per cent higher than the global percentage. You will hear several arguments about why jobs are hard to fill, from too much governmental support to zoom exhaustion. But one thing for sure is that the pandemic has caused many to reflect and reconsider their jobs. As a result, there has been some shifting of values and focus. Many started rethinking their careers, resulting in “The big resignation”. But is there a way to continue your career and life the way you want to without “quitting your job”? In this episode, we explore how you can do that.
