This week: A special episode from SHRM's weekly Honest HR podcast on a topic impacting workers, leaders, and HR alike! The silent threat in today's workplaces isn't “quiet quitting,” or people doing the bare minimum in their job. It's employees who stay but feel stuck, burned out, and are silently disengaging. Jared Pope, a benefits and employment law attorney and the CEO of Work Shield, joins host Marjorie Morrison, SHRM's executive in residence for mental health, to discuss this troubling phenomenon — tackling everything from early warning signs and toxic culture to the benefits of wellness programs.

“Vadītājs ir darbs – tā ir profesija. Un būt vadītājam nozīmē apsaimniekot akcionāru resursus pēc vislabākās sirdsapziņas – rūpējoties gan par cilvēkiem, gan par rezultātiem.” Tā jaunākajā HR Podcast sarunā stāsta Sandra Lāce, supervizore, vadīšanas prasmju trenere un kognitīvi biheiviorālās terapijas speciāliste.Mēs bieži sakām – vadītājam jābūt cilvēcīgam. Bet ko tas nozīmē praksē? Un kā turēt līdzsvaru starp empātiju un disciplīnu, starp cilvēcību un rezultātu?Šoreiz ar Sandru runājām par:– kā mainījusies vadītāja loma pēdējo 10–15 gadu laikā – no “komandē un kontrolē” uz pilnvarojošu un iesaistošu un kādas ir tā sekas,– kāpēc darbinieku iesaiste Eiropā joprojām ir zemākā pasaulē (tikai 13% ir patiesi iesaistīti) un kādu lomu te spēlē vadītājs;– vai organizācija var pieprasīt no vadītāja strādāt ar savām traumām, lai tās netraucē darbam;– kādas ir piecas lietas, kas, pēc Sandras pieredzes, obligāti jābūt vadītāja kalendārā – vīzija, ietvars, transformācijas spēja, regulāra snieguma vadība un panākumu svinēšana;– kas ir nobriedusi psihe un kā refleksijas prasme palīdz vadītājam būt cilvēcīgam, vienlaikus turēt robežas.

Obwohl HR-Budgets vielerorts gekürzt werden, investieren derzeit 63 % der Unternehmen aktiv in ihre Benefitstrategie – ein deutliches Signal im Kampf gegen den Fachkräftemangel. In dieser Folge sprechen Laura und Susa darüber, welche Benefits wirklich zählen, warum die Employee Experience plötzlich im Mittelpunkt steht und wie auch Unternehmen mit kleineren Budgets das Maximum aus ihren Angeboten herausholen können.Außerdem geht es um einen neuen US-Trend am Arbeitsmarkt: „Job Hugging“. Immer mehr Mitarbeitende halten an ihrem aktuellen Job fest, obwohl sie unzufrieden sind. Dabei ist eine demografische Gruppe betroffen, von der man es am wenigsten erwartet hätte.

"Mazai tautai nav citas receptes kā katram maksimizēt savu potenciālu."Jaunākajā HR Podcast CEO epizodē tiekos ar Kārli Danēviču – SEB bankas valdes locekli un SOS bērnu ciemata padomes priekšsēdētāju Latvijā. Kārlis ir līderis, kurš apvieno profesionālu stingrību ar cilvēcisku autentiskumu un dziļu ticību, ka katram ir potenciāls augt un dot vairāk.Sarunā par to, kas veido patiesu līderību – par spītību kā resursu, par drosmi atzīt kļūdas un par harizmu, kas slēpjas nevis perfekcijā, bet neperfektumā. Kārlis atklāti stāsta par savu ceļu no “underdoga” sajūtas līdz nozīmīgām līdera lomām, dalās pieredzē par to, kā vadīt ar misijas apziņu un iedot komandai jēgu, kas motivē darīt vairāk.Galvenās atziņas no sarunas:Harizma ir autentiskums – drosme atklāti runāt par saviem trūkumiem.Spītība ir resurss, kas no bērnības “grūtās īpašības” pārtop par spēka avotu dzīvē.Enerģija rodas no jēgas, nevis no nostrādāto stundu skaita.Līderis redz potenciālu cilvēkā, nevis tikai to, kas viņš ir šobrīd.Mazai tautai īpaši svarīgi – būt aktīvi labiem un izmantot katra cilvēka iespējas pilnā mērā.❤️ Paldies, Kārli, par iedvesmojošo sarunu un laiku!
