Spring is coming and that means many of us have our eye on growth, renewal and learning in the coming months. It's the perfect time to take a closer look at our reading and writing lives and how they can help us move into this new season with purpose, intention and joy. Today's guest is going to help us do just that. Bijal Shah, owner of Book Therapy and author of Bibliotherapy: The Healing Power of Reading, is back to explore the life-changing magic of reading and how to pair it with a practice I've been exploring in my own reading life ever since our first conversation: literary reflective journaling. Come listen as we catch up on what Bijal's been up to, explore the role of bibliotherapy, especially in a season of renewal, and take a deeper dive into how writing in relation to our reading can magnify the positive effects. You'll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here.: https://www.alitlife.com/2025/03/25/literary-journaling-reflective-practice-in-bibliotherapy-with-bijal-shah/Love this podcast and want more?

Work In Progress
Employer-paid education benefits can attract and retain talent

In this episode of Work in Progress, we're talking about one of the many weapons in the battle for talent in the U.S. – employer-paid education benefits. Joining me in the conversation is Bijal Shah, the CEO of Guild, which delivers customized workforce and skilling solutions for companies through online and in-person courses. Our discussion is centered around the critical need for talent development, especially in the face of rapid technological changes. "The problem that we see in the United States isn't just a U.S. problem; it's a global problem," says Shah. Analysis released by the World Economic Forum in January concludes that by 2030, 92 million jobs will be displaced. But the number of new jobs will be almost double that in the same time period. And they predict that the United States will soon face the tightest labor market in more than six decades.  That means employers will be competing with each other for talent. The employer-provided education benefit could be a deciding factor for a job seeker or for an employee trying to decide whether they want to stay with the company or leave. What makes it attractive to potential and current workers? The idea that your employer is paying for you to learn important skills, which could lead to industry credentials which could lead to economic mobility. "Accounting for the diverse needs of an employee population means offering a mix of learning programs through the education benefit: foundational learning programs (high school completion and English language learning), short-form (certificates and bootcamps), and degrees (associate's and bachelor's) — all suited to the needs of working adult learners," according to Guild.  "We optimize our learning for working adult learners," Shah explains. "That is the population that we are most focused on. Any kind of asynchronous and online learning you can do is just really helpful when you think about the flexibility that these individuals need, when you think about the fact that they sometimes work on nights and weekends, and they don't usually have traditional hours or traditional jobs." In the podcast, Shah and I discuss some of the types of training in specific industries that employers are adding to their education benefits and where she is seeing the biggest demand. You can listen to the entire conversation here, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also find our podcasts on the Work in Progress YouTube channel.

In this episode of Work in Progress, I'm joined by Bijal Shah, Guild's new CEO, to discuss how big companies are helping their employees find their next career step inside or outside the company through education benefits. And, we look a new Guild partnership that's helping Olympians find their next career beyond sports. Shah is new to the job of CEO, assuming it full-time in April after 34-year-old CEO and co-founder Rachel Romer stepped down to focus on her continued recovery from a stroke she suffered last summer. The number of employer partners has grown over the years and now includes businesses like Chipotle, Discover, Hilton, and Target. With growth, Guild has had to deal with some of its own structural changes. In May, the company cut a quarter of its own workforce. "As Guild's business continues to grow, we must ensure that we deliver on our mission as efficiently and effectively as possible...we have decided to restructure our organization," Shah said in a statement. "While difficult, these changes will ensure that moving forward, we operate more efficiently, innovate faster, and continue to deliver strong outcomes for our stakeholders," she added. Guild's role with the partner companies is around creating education benefits, including training programs that will arm the workers with in-demand skills. Shah says this has proven beneficial for employers and employees alike. "We are solving a problem. These (employees) are craving learning opportunities. They want to get their associate's degrees or bachelor's degrees. They want to further educate themselves, and the alternative is taking on student debt. This is a way that they don't have to do that. "Our data shows across our broad employer population, those who go through Guild are two times less likely to leave their employers than those who do not. There's an immediate retention benefit. "We also see benefits in attracting talent. When people are thinking about employers of choice, one of the things that I think folks are thinking about is how is the employer going to invest in me as the employee in a way that outlives even working at that employer or the specific job I have right now," Shah adds. One of the sets of skills employers are looking for is "durable" or "soft" skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and risk assessment. We go into the "how" of teaching those skills in the conversation. We also take a look at the new partnership with the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee that is providing education benefits to current and former Olympians. "Many of the athletes don't actually get those huge multimillion-dollar sponsorships, they're living paycheck to paycheck. They spend all their time investing in their athletic careers, and then one day their athletic career ends and they need to find their second act," Shah says. Find out the details of the education plan in the podcast. And you can listen to the podcast here, or download and listen wherever you get your podcasts.
