Podcasts about Employee engagement

From remote and hybrid work to quiet quitting and recession fears, the state of employee engagement has been in flux since the pandemic began. Now, HR and team leaders need a new approach to make employees feel connected to their organizations.   In this keynote, originally delivered at Gartner ReimagineHR Conference, GVP Ania Krasniewska Shahidi, and Brent Cassell, VP, Advisory, demonstrate how and why stability, trust and innovation are the cornerstones of a new HR strategy. With 82% of HR leaders facing pressure to scale back or reverse the progress they have made over the past few years, this new framework can help put the focus on what employees and enterprises need to enter their next phase of growth.   Dig Deeper   Watch Now: Staying Bold: How HR Can Unlock Human Performance in Any Context  https://bit.ly/3GeE6DT   Explore the Conference: Gartner Reimagine HR Conference 2024 https://gtnr.it/3uIaUzS  

This episode features an interview with Shawnee Irmen-De Anda, Chief People Officer at Thriveworks. Shawnee has two decades of experience serving as a human resources strategic business partner for growing and well-established healthcare organizations. At Thriveworks, Shawnee leads a first-class people strategy, focusing on expanding team potential and empowering sustainable growth.In this episode, Amanda sits down with Shawnee to discuss creating brand awareness while recruiting, incorporating tech into the employee experience, and fighting burnout during times of crisis.-------------------“I think in healthcare, technology should always enhance but not replace that human-to-human connection. It's really easy to leverage technology to save money at times, but that human-to-human connection is critically important. It's the same principle that we adhere to when we're looking at providing therapeutic care. Technology should also make the day-to-day functions of our teams easier, not harder or longer. At times if technology isn't working, we know the frustrations and added gray hair that that can have also. Having an intranet or centralized resource repositories, things like that for employees, is really important. Healthcare is one where you're either extremely advanced, and I think more hospital systems, things like that tend to have more up-to-date technology, or you're extremely outdated with the technology that you have. We're really lucky to have a tech and product team here that their sole purpose and what they really and truly want to do every day is make sure that our clinicians can do what they're here to do. And that's see clients, not have to battle technology challenges.” – Shawnee Irmen-De Anda-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(04:27): Shawnee's role at Thriveworks*(09:22): Segment: Getting Tactical*(09:39): How Shawnee creates brand awareness while recruiting*(11:28): The relationship between employee experience and retention *(17:50): How to incorporate tech into the employee experience*(20:25): Segment: Ripped From The Headlines*(24:10): How Thriveworks uses tech to fight employee burnout*(27:34): Segment: Asking For a Friend-------------------Links:Learn more about ThriveworksConnect with Shawnee on LinkedInEmail ShawneeConnect with Amanda on LinkedInwww.simpplr.com/podcast

For organizations across the globe, a recent Gallup survey revealed an alarming statistic: only about one-third of employees are engaged. Of the majority who are not engaged, 16% are actively disengaged, often due to flaws in the workplace such as a lack of vision or lack of clarity from leadership. Improving employee engagement is essential for achieving better productivity, results, and workforce morale – but what can leaders do to reverse this trend that seems to have worsened in recent years?  Katharine Halpin, our guest in Episode 170 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, offers several practical, actionable solutions. As a master-level certified coach, author, and speaker, Katharine left her CPA career to help executives and managers transform their teams and organizations into true communities where trust and respect are demonstrated. By inspiring people to bring their best selves to work every day and helping them feel safe to step up and speak up, these communities then drive organic growth and ignite innovation. In this week's episode, Katharine shares the following:  Simple techniques for engaging employees, such as setting clear due dates for projects, following through with interim checkpoints so employees feel supported, and ensuring that everyone feels that their ideas are heard Some of the true reasons why employees may be disengaged, and how managers can avoid these common pitfalls  The value of connecting with employees on an emotional level, which can often be achieved through simple gestures such as giving them handwritten notes or asking about their families How to engage employees during meetings, thereby ensuring that everyone's time is spent productively  To learn more about Katharine and her process, find her on LinkedIn, visit https://halpincompany.com, or look for her books on Amazon.

One hundred years of research tells us that a bump in salary does not impact employee engagement. In fact, MIT recently published findings showing that how appreciated employees feel has three times more influence on their decision to stay or leave a job than compensation. Not only does this reduce the cost of turnover, but companies that pay attention to their human capital outperform others. Dr. Paul White joins Kevin to discuss the 5 Languages of Appreciation in the workplace. These include Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Acts of Service, Tangible Gifts, and Physical Touch. The implementation of appreciation isn't a top-down process. It starts with education, creating a shared language among team members, and then grows naturally. It's about connecting people and recognizing them for who they are, not just their work.

This episode features an interview with Betsy Leatherman, Global President of Consulting Services at Leadership Circle. Betsy has 10 years of experience transforming executives and middle managers into exceptional leaders. In her current role, Betsy helps clients become more effective leaders so they can make decisions that engage and motivate members of their organizations and customers they serve. In this episode, Amanda and Betsy discuss leadership development, common mistakes leaders make during layoffs, and the two leadership orientations.-------------------“The rubber meets the road at the middle manager. Because, even if you've got a great leadership team that's highly developed, if they do not translate that through the way in which a middle manager shows up to a frontline employee, it doesn't matter. If you've got a great set of senior leaders, let's say, and then a set of middle managers that haven't been developed, it can actually be really, really challenging for the frontline employee. Because, they see one thing and they experience something so different, and immediately they'll lose trust. My perspective is if you start at a customer and then you move backwards in terms of importance, frontline employees are very important to be extraordinarily well-resourced. Their managers also have to be even better resourced, personally, to help them handle their complexities. When that occurs, all of a sudden it's at scale. You, as a leader, a senior leader in the organization, you're at scale because you're helping them to be better and you're getting their perspective and vantage point that you might otherwise not be offered.” – Betsy Leatherman-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(01:59): Betsy dives into leadership development *(08:35): Segment: Story Time*(10:23): Why Betsy created a career in leadership development *(17:17): Segment: Getting Tactical*(25:16): Betsy explains the two leadership orientations *(34:24): Segment: Ripped From The Headlines*(34:54): Common mistakes leaders make during layoffs *(40:46): Segment: Asking For a Friend-------------------Links:Learn more about Leadership CircleEmail BetsyConnect with Betsy on LinkedInFollow Betsy on X (formerly Twitter)Connect with Amanda on LinkedInwww.simpplr.com/podcast

Special Guest: Alex Eade: Marketing Manager at Footprint Digital Lifelong learning and keeping education at the core of everything we do is paramount to the team at Footprint Digital. Our industry, digital marketing, has often been seen as smoke and mirrors, with clients confused about what agencies are actually doing for them, and agencies using this confusion to their advantage. Footprint Digital was set up to be the antithesis to this, demystifying and humanising marketing to help clients make more confident decisions. As part of this attempt to spread information rather than gatekeep, we began lecturing to university students in 2015 and soon realised that there was a gap between the theory students learnt, and the practical understanding they'd need for a successful start to their career. We set up the Footprint Academy to help them with the skills they'd need in the real world. Alex Eade is the Marketing Manager at Footprint Digital, and after a master degree in Business Management, in 2016 she began her digital marketing career by joining the Footprint Academy. Since then she has managed content teams, developed new digital marketing products, worked in-house in branding, email marketing and CRM for a global restaurant group, and returned to Footprint Digital in 2020 where she set up an online course to complement the Footprint Academy.' Join us as we discuss bridging the gap from academia to the real world. Listen Live (Archive Available) Host: Jo Moffatt

SYNOPSIS The focus of economic development, as discussed in the episode, is to make a meaningful difference in someone's life and assist them in building a sustainable business. The host emphasizes that the goal is not merely to fulfill a requirement, but to genuinely impact individuals and their families. The philosophy is centered around uplifting everyone and creating opportunities for individuals to establish businesses that can support themselves and others. To achieve this, the episode suggests thinking creatively and looking beyond the challenges posed by the pandemic. The host mentions that they are actively exploring new tools and approaches to support economic development. They highlight the importance of forging partnerships with the right organizations, including unconventional ones, to foster meaningful collaborations. An example of such a partnership mentioned in the episode is with Amazon and AWS. Additionally, the episode addresses the challenges faced by small businesses within the context of economic development. The host acknowledges that small businesses often become consumed by day-to-day operations and the constant pursuit of growth. However, they emphasize the significance of staying aware of the changes happening around them, such as redevelopment and new business opportunities. Property owners may choose to redevelop their properties, which can pose challenges for existing businesses. Therefore, economic development efforts should also focus on honoring legacy businesses and finding ways to support them during property development processes. Throughout the episode, the host and guest stress the importance of thinking outside the box and collaborating with diverse organizations for economic development. They emphasize that economic development is not limited to traditional methods, but also involves exploring new tools and approaches. They underscore the need to look beyond the pandemic and identify the lessons learned that can have a lasting impact on economic development. The guest shares their philosophy of making a positive difference in people's lives and helping them build sustainable businesses. They express their motivation to uplift everyone and create opportunities for success. The host agrees and emphasizes the importance of partnering with the right organizations, including new types of organizations, to achieve these goals. One specific example of a partnership mentioned in the episode is with Amazon and AWS. The guest highlights the benefits of this partnership and how it contributes to economic growth and stability. Overall, the episode emphasizes the necessity for economic development initiatives to think innovatively, collaborate with diverse organizations, and explore innovative approaches to create lasting impact and support sustainable businesses. Arlington Economic Development offers a range of resources and tools to support the growth and success of small businesses. One of the programs they have implemented is BizLaunch, which is led by Tara Palacios. BizLaunch aims to provide assistance to small businesses and help them navigate the challenges they face. This includes offering guidance on marketing, economic development, and community engagement. In addition to providing resources, Arlington Economic Development recognizes the importance of digital communication in reaching and supporting small businesses. They have observed a digital divide between older, established businesses and new startups when it comes to adapting to online platforms. While startups were able to pivot and adapt to the digital landscape, older businesses struggled to make the transition. To address this issue, Arlington Economic Development has implemented a program called relaunch. This program aims to bridge the digital divide by providing support and resources to help legacy businesses adapt to the online world. Overall, Arlington Economic Development is committed to fostering a thriving business community in Arlington, Virginia. They acknowledge the vital role that small businesses play in the local economy and understand that supporting these businesses is crucial for the overall economic development of the community. Through programs like BizLaunch and relaunch, they provide the necessary tools and resources to help small businesses thrive and succeed in an increasingly digital world.

The signature survey that aims to take the pulse of the federal workforce each year found slight gains this year in employees' overall views over the organizations they work for, with 68% now saying they're satisfied with their jobs — up two percentage points from 2022. The question of job satisfaction is just one component of a broader index the Office of Personnel Management terms “employee engagement” — a composite score that tries to measure workers' views on factors like effective leadership, meaningful work, and opportunities for growth. In 2023, that score increased to 72%, up one percentage point from the year before, and tying the government's score from 2020 — a five-year high. Meanwhile, 67% of employees said they'd recommend their agencies to job seekers, up from 65% in 2023. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

By Adam Turteltaub Kristine Coy-Foster (LinkedIn), Senior Manager, Compliance & Employee Engagement at Vulcan, had a challenge many in compliance face: tracking all her to-dos, and then, once a to-do turned to done, tracking the accomplishment. It was important for her to be able to capture the challenges she faced, new ideas tested and processes developed. Trying to keep it all straight in Outlook or Excel spreadsheets wasn't enough. To solve the problem she invested the time to learn Smartsheet, a platform that primarily is for managing projects and automating processes. In it, she created workstreams, alerts, dashboards and more. She also created categories for each of the functional areas she oversees and organized her to-dos accordingly. The solution has worked well for her, but, she cautions, it does take a strong commitment to keeping everything up to date. Listen in to learn more about how to put this tool to work for you, or, maybe, customize the tool you are already using to track your own compliance team's progress.

Here is a summary article of the conversation between host Marcus Edwardes and Employer Brand Specialist - Marta Riggins."Unlocking Success: Crafting a Magnetic Employer Brand"In today's competitive job market, building a magnetic employer brand is paramount. It acts as a beacon, attracting top talent by showcasing a compelling Employee Value Proposition (EVP). The goal extends beyond attraction; an enriched employee experience ensures talent not only walks through the door but stays, grows, and becomes brand ambassadors.The Magnetic Employer Brand: Attract, Retain, EngageCrafting an irresistible EVP, defining what sets the company apart, is crucial. Authenticity is key—letting employees share real experiences resonates with candidates. This approach not only attracts talent effortlessly but also slashes hiring costs, enhances retention rates, and boosts morale.The Enriching Employee Experience: The Bedrock of InnovationThe employee journey, marked by deliberate touchpoints, catalyzes productivity, encourages innovation, and enhances overall well-being. Providing tools for a seamless workday empowers employees and fosters a sense of fulfillment.The Clarity of Employee Communications: The Harmony of the Workplace SymphonyClear communication guarantees alignment on objectives, nurtures an inclusive culture, and invites feedback for continuous improvement. Establishing diverse communication channels and scheduling regular check-ins fosters transparency and honest conversations.The Vibrancy of Employee Engagement: The Pulse That Powers PerformanceRecognizing and rewarding achievements, big or small, strengthens loyalty, curtails turnover, and amplifies individual and collective performance. Encouraging growth opportunities through learning initiatives and clear career pathways fosters a collaborative ecosystem.In conclusion, these components—Employer Brand, Employee Experience, Employee Communications, and Employee Engagement—are the cogs in the wheel of organizational growth. Ignite these areas strategically to transform your organization into a talent magnet, a cradle for innovation, and a beacon of industry excellence.Marta Riggins emphasizes, "If you're good at employer branding, you can make anything interesting." It's time to wield this power and craft an organization that's not just a place to work but a place to grow, thrive, and make an impact.A magnetic employer brand isn't just a facade; it's a mirror reflecting internal values. It weaves through every job description, interview, and employee story, answering the 'why' for potential employees: Why join? Why care? Why stay?The employee experience is the journey with the organization, from the first interview to the last day. Enhancing it is about respect, empowerment, and creating a sense of belonging, not just perks and parties.Effective employee communications, a bidirectional street, fosters a culture where employees feel heard and understood. It's not just about memos; it's about conversations in hallways, virtual meetings, and collaboration platforms.Employee engagement, the heartbeat of the organization, is the enthusiasm employees bring to their roles. It's a key indicator of organizational health and a predictor of business outcomes.Aligned, these pillars create an environment where individuals contribute, innovate, and feel part of something greater. A commitment to these principles makes a company an employer of choice in the competitive talent landscape.
