‘Companies don't know how to manage people who are remote because they don't know how to manage people that are actually onsite either.'On this episode of The Shape of Work podcast, our guest is Susan L. Lang, CEO of XIL Health - a health technology company building complex predictive analytics platforms to reduce the cost of drugs.Having been a part of the healthcare industry for over three decades, Susan has advised top pharmacy executives and digital healthcare startups while working as the C-suite Executive at Express Scripts and Chief Strategy Officer of Blink Health.With a background that extensive, it's no surprise this episode covers a lot of ground.We discuss with Susan:Hiring virtually, beyond geographies: the new normalThe structure and lines of communication at XIL HealthGreat resignation hits IT departments: why companies need to switch strategies and run 'The Great Experiment'Tech talent retention strategies: profit sharing, retention bonus, ESOPs and moreManaging People in the Workplace of the FutureApprehension among firms, about remote work, arises from their inability to manage people well even when they are on-site. Being goal-driven is key to good management. Instead, firms build layer upon layer of control. Managers need to be familiar with the work of each employee and the impact their employees' work has on the organization. This is possible only if the firm has a well-defined business model. Most firms do not have a business model, and their work cultures tend to be personality-driven (the CEO's or the CHRO's). The absence of a business model and a lack of congruence between the personal values of the senior leaders and the employees cause friction at work. This friction can get exacerbated in the remote/hybrid workplace.Making Remote Work EffectiveThe availability of capital increased startup activity, and the limited pool of good tech talent has led to a rise in salaries. This causes an exodus of talent from the relatively poorly funded firms. The leaders of these firms are, therefore, too caught up with managing attrition to be able to pay attention to culture and engagement — further worsening attrition. Susan says that she hires people when they are young and finds out what they are comfortable and not comfortable doing. XIL Health then tasks these employees with jobs that they are not comfortable doing. This challenges them and helps them learn how to manage and work around challenges to get to the goal. This is an excellent strategy to groom better executives for the firm in the long run. The nature of the task that employees get to work on is a huge determinant of their effectiveness.Shaping Company CultureSusan believes that high-growth companies need to align their work cultures with the needs of the employees. Employees at tech companies are engaged in complex tasks, and therefore the work needs to be integrated with their lives. The workplace policies should provide flexibility, enable employees to take care of their families, and allow enough time off for them to de-stress. The work should be designed to not "burn through" the employees. Follow Susan on LinkedInProduced by: Priya BhattPodcast host: Abhash KumarBONUS: Interested to know more about advanced recruitment?

On this bonus episode we dive deeper into the topic of digital pharmacies. The often confusing world of prescription drug pricing is experiencing revolutionary change. As digital and cloud solutions enable new online pharmacy service offerings to emerge, new ways for consumers, patients, and providers to open the curtain to lower prices for medications are being created.  Friend of Vynamic Albie Salvatore, VP of Clinical Technology Sales at Blink Health joins us to chat about this topic and how his organization is providing services to help lower cost and improve access.

Being stuck in an apartment lease when you need to move quickly is a long time problem. Very few leases have any kind of out. Now, a company called Landing, designed around the lifestyles of young adults, rents through membership agreements. You rent an apartment within their system, and are allowed to move to any other property in the Landing system on 3 days’ notice – no penalty. This allows the nomad in you to wander. You pay $200 a year for this advantage. If you choose to move outside Landing, you need to give 30 days’ notice – still no penalty. Landing operates in several states now with plans to be in most major cities by year’s end. Wouldn’t this work well for retirees as well as a way to travel and experience new places? Landing provides ultimate flexibility. Units come furnished so moving is easy. MGM resorts has been hit by a massive data breach affecting roughly 11 million people. Criminals got email, phone numbers and physical addresses – ‘phone book information’. Marriot suffered a large breach a year and a half ago. Potentially half a billion people around the world are exposed through hotel chain hacks. Consider having a specialized email address. Don’t compromise your main personal email at the heart of your life and data. Have a separate email address for commercial activity. The core to saving on meds is to be proactive. Before a provider writes a script, you can check costs and offer an alternative. Have a pricelist from your pharmacy, check your prescription drug plan. You can use a discount program like GoodRx and spend less by not going through insurance. See our guide comparing 5 major prescription drug programs: SingleCare, GoodRx, Blink Health, RxSaver and WellRx. Among the 15 common meds tested, RxSaver was consistently the cheapest, but that doesn’t mean it will always be. GoodRx came in next. We discovered that using 2 of these is likely to get you the best price. Clark checks his insurance coverage and then otherwise. It’s surprising how often meds are cheaper outside insurance using a discount program. There’s great advantage to checking up front before a med is prescribed. Medical professionals don’t know costs.
