And that's just projected to continue to increase. We want to continue to create workplaces that create a culture of belonging for the workers. And we absolutely have to do that with the type of migration we're having and those population changes, those demographic changes that we're experiencing.The second thing is I want to keep the cultures growing in our businesses, governments, and nonprofits that value that integration of work and home life. It's very important, and we see how that changed, that pivoted during the pandemic. And that relates to flexibility in the workplace—flexible work hours, flexible work locations, those kinds of things. And then the last thing that's on my mind is really a concern for child care and the availability, affordability, and quality of child care in our communities. And I would love to see our business community lead out on this issue.The importance of creating a culture of belonging15:37: [Michelle Smith] If you're running out to a doctor's appointment with your aging parent, or if you're running out to a middle school volleyball game that starts at 3:15 in the afternoon, which is not convenient in any way, shape, or form but you can't have that again, right? You can't create those memories again. Then people understand that I'm not trying to be lazy or don't care about my job. I'm trying to integrate my life into the priority that I have and the commitment I have to my job to the people that I work with, and to the responsibilities that I have. And so it's so powerful when you can just have conversations, know who people are, and create a culture of belonging.Coping with change: A skill that benefits all areas of life22:58: [Jennifer Robinson] To be able to have the muscle to cope through change could be such a differentiator on how they enjoy work and the things they're able to accomplish. And I would say home or community, family, friends, or their other spaces in their lives. That is a skill set that absolutely translates.Fostering supportive work cultures for all12:38: [Jennifer Robinson] I would encourage any office to try to create a culture that does something at the individual level to help their employees, whether it's dealing with coming back from maternity leave or while their kids are in school, and you're trying to make sure you're doing all those things you want to do, like see your kids performances or get to your daughter's high school soccer game or as we have aging parents, a lot of us are stuck in what we call the "sandwich generation," where we have children at home and parents who are aging that need a lot of help. And those are not unique to women. I think they apply to men as well. And I would just love to see our culture changed to continue to allow more flexibility for working families individuals, whether they have children or not. But it turns out that the ability to be a user of language presupposes that you're also able to reflect on language.Show Links:Michelle Smith - LinkedInMichelle Smith - Larry H.

Want to learn more about the future of Utah baseball? In this episode of our House podcast, Rep Ryan Wilcox and CEO of the Larry H Miller Company, Steve Starks, join us to discuss the possibility of a Major League Baseball team moving to Utah.
This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. This spring, the Larry H. Miller Company launched the Big League Utah coalition to bring Major League Baseball to Utah. They are partnering with Rocky Mountain Power to develop 100 acres at the Power District on Salt Lake City's westside that could include a stadium. Larry H. Miller Company CEO Steve Starks tells us more about this statewide effort. STEVE STARKS: Baseball holds a special place in our hearts – from little league games to summer nights spent watching the Salt Lake Bees. The community response to Big League Utah and its mission to secure an expansion team has been remarkable. The impressive support rate above 80% is on par with that of bringing a second Winter Olympic Games to Salt Lake City. Utah is what baseball would call a “5-Tool Player.” Our key attributes include our premier economy, the youngest and fastest growing population, our love and support for sports, and our unparalleled quality of life. The Power District is perfectly positioned between the airport and downtown, near major transportation corridors and transit, and maintains great views of Salt Lake's skyline. Big League Utah will elevate our entire state and provide economic opportunities to the westside of Salt Lake City. We hope you'll join us to ensure Utah is the “Future of America's Pastime.” Derek Miller: Utah and our Capital City are ready for major league sports expansion. Visit bigleagueutah.com to learn more.
