Previously Irina was Amway Russia Chairman of Liquidation Committee, Managing Director Russia, Ukraine and Central Asia, Vice-President Sales and Operations Russia, Director of Sales and Marketing Oriflame Kazakhstan, Supervisor Reporting Philip Morris Kazakhstan.  She has an MBA from the University of Manchester Business School, and a Ph.D. from Bauman Moscow State Technical University.   Summary Leading effectively in Japan requires a nuanced understanding of its unique cultural and social dynamics. Irina Menshikova, President of Amway Japan, emphasizes the importance of patience, trust-building, and adaptability in navigating the complexities of Japanese business culture. One critical factor is understanding Japan's high-context, consensus-driven culture. Leaders must demonstrate compassion, transparency, and vulnerability while fostering collaboration. Building trust is central, achieved through consistent communication, acknowledgment of past challenges, and a sustained commitment to resolving issues. Japanese employees value leaders who listen and create safe spaces for dialogue and innovation. Menshikova's approach included open dialogue sessions and one-on-one conversations, which allowed employees to voice their concerns and suggestions. Strategic workshops were used to empower middle management and facilitate proactive contributions. Casual lunches further fostered trust and allowed for informal yet strategic discussions. Japanese teams often start with a lower baseline of optimism in assessments and engagement scores, reflecting cultural tendencies rather than dissatisfaction. Menshikova navigated this by focusing on incremental improvements and celebrating progress rather than making direct comparisons to other markets. Her leadership style integrated Amway's core values—freedom, hope, family, and reward—with the cultural specifics of Japan. By adapting global principles to local nuances, she rebuilt trust with employees and distributors. This included leveraging Japan's detail-oriented execution strengths while introducing changes in a culturally sensitive manner. For female leaders in Japan, Menshikova highlights the importance of building confidence, balancing priorities, and pursuing personal aspirations. Many women face societal expectations that limit their roles to family responsibilities. Educational programs and corporate support systems, such as flexible work policies and mentorship opportunities, can help women advance. Menshikova's advice to leaders entering Japan is to immerse themselves in the culture, learn the language, and actively listen to local teams. Trusting the Japanese approach and balancing global identity with local relevance is critical. Leaders should embrace a mindset of experimentation and adaptability while staying true to the mission of their organization. Lastly, Menshikova underscores the value of self-care, including mindfulness and resilience-building practices, as essential for sustaining long-term leadership effectiveness.

In part one of a special two-part episode of the HRchat Podcast with guest Professor Sir Cary Cooper, we focus on measuring presenteeism, optimizing productivity, and fostering a culture of employee health and wellbeing.Professor Sir Cary Cooper, CBE is the 50th Anniversary Prof of Organizational Psychology & Health at Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, the author and editor of numerous books, and is one of Britain's most quoted business experts. Questions in part one include: Rethinking presenteeism to achieve higher productivity: "Our latest research at Robertson Cooper has turned conventional wisdom about presenteeism on its head. We've identified that not all instances of working whilst unwell should be classified as 'presenteeism,' paving the way for a new era in how organizations manage employee health, wellbeing, and productivity." What we've discovered: There are three distinct types of working whilst unwell, only one of which should be labeled presenteeism and eradicated from businesses." Tell us about the 'correct' definition of presenteeism. "The other two types, "Functional Presence" (Pragmatic and Therapeutic), aren't always a cost to businesses and may actually be desirable for both the organization and the employee." Tell us more about these types. What impact can presenteeism have on colleagues? Recent market reports suggest employees will be staying in the jobs for longer in 2024. How can employers minimize the chances of presenteeism and, instead, help to develop and grow the development of their people? We do our best to ensure editorial objectivity.

In this podcast, HSE Chair Sarah Newton and Professor Cary Cooper, one the world's foremost experts on wellbeing, discuss the importance of working in partnership to prevent work-related stress and to promote good mental health. Amongst other things, the podcast covers HSE's Working Minds campaign, which aims to ensure psychological risks are treated the same as physical ones, that employers recognise their legal duty to prevent work related stress to support good mental health in the workplace, and that they have the tools they need to do achieve this.  For more information on the campaign visit ‘Working Minds'  PODCAST TRANSCRIPT Mick Ord (Host): A warm welcome to you whenever and wherever you are listening to this Health and Safety Executive podcast from me, Mick Ord, and our soon-to-be-announced guests. This podcast is the second in a series designed to help you to make your life a little easier, both in work and maybe even spilling over into your personal life, you never know. The Health and Safety Executive is committed to improving the health and safety of workers in Great Britain. And today we'll be focusing on an issue that affects all industry sectors, work-related stress, and its potential impact on mental health. In 2020/21, more than 800,000 people suffered from work-related stress, depression, or anxiety. The impact on workers and businesses is considerable. A recent report by Deloitte estimates that the total annual cost of poor mental health to employers has increased by 25% since 2019, costing UK employers up to 56 billion pounds a year. 56 billion! Last year, on the 16th of November, HSE launched its Working Minds campaign to encourage, promote, and support good mental health in the workplace and prevent work-related stress. And today we'll talk about the successes of the campaign, what still needs to be done and why this topic is still so important. Joining us today is Sarah Newton, Chair of the Health and Safety Executive. In addition, Sarah is currently a non-executive director of the Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust. Prior to taking over the chair in 2020, Sarah's experience includes serving as a director for American Express Europe, Age Concern, and the independent academic think tank, the International Longevity Centre. Sarah was also an MP for ten years, and served as a minister in the Department of Work and Pensions, responsible for HSE and Health and Work Unit. And we're delighted to also have with us Professor Cary Cooper, one of the world's foremost experts on wellbeing, and a 50th anniversary professor of Organisational Psychology and Health at the Manchester Business School. He's the author or editor of over 170 books, has written more than 450 scholarly articles for academic journals, and is a frequent contributor to national newspapers, TV and radio. A big welcome, both. Sarah. First of all, thanks for joining us for the podcast. Now, your Working Minds campaign has just celebrated its first anniversary, so tell us about why you launched a campaign in the first place and what it's achieved.. Sarah Newton: First of all, thank you so much for inviting me on to your podcast this morning, Mick. You know, let's be honest about this. Any one of us can experience stress. It can affect people in different ways and different times, so it's a very prevalent issue. So why did HSE get involved with dealing with this? Well, it's clearly our mission to prevent work-related ill health, and as you said from those startling statistics in your introduction, many people are experiencing stress in the workplace, and we know it's the number one reason why people will have an absence from work is. So we were looking at a new strategy last year. We've developed a new strategy, which is protecting people in places and five strategic objectives. One of them clearly to reduce work-related ill health, with a particular focus on stress because it affects so many people. And we chose to launch this campaign because HSE, while we have a huge amount of expertise, we don't have all the answers. And we really wanted to work in partnership with a wide range of organisations who together, we could bring the big difference that we want to see. It's all about working in partnership, collaborating with others, making sure that employers have the knowledge, the tools that they need to really support their workers to prevent work-related stress and ill health. Mick Ord (Host): As we've heard the figures on people taking absence from work because of work-related stress have really increased over the past couple of years. What are your thoughts about that, Sarah? Sarah Newton: Well, I think a part of it, or probably a very large part of it, is to do with the fact as a society, we've been far more prepared to talk about mental ill health. There's been a huge amount of really positive work to de stigmatise mental ill health, which of course includes stress and anxiety and depression. And so I think as a result of that, people are more prepared to acknowledge that they're suffering from mental ill health. Mick Ord (Host): Professor Cooper, I guess that you'd echo everything that Sarah said there about the Working Minds campaign? Prof. Cary Cooper: Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean, HSE has always been at the forefront looking at stress at work. It was the only country actually, 20 years ago, set up the management standards for stress at work. I was involved in that 20 years ago. And it's gotten worse, a lot of the problems. That was really ahead of its time, but times have changed. We've had a financial crisis since then. We've had a pandemic. We have a cost of living crisis. We're about to enter a recession. This has really become even more significant and more important than ever before. And the HSE, by revising the management standards, by getting involved in this Working Minds campaign is really quite important. And by the way, it's not just the UK. Every developed country has between 50% and 60% of its long-term absence due to stress, anxiety, and depression. It's not just the UK. This is a kind of global problem, particularly in the developed world. Mick Ord (Host): Sarah, what are the next steps for Working Minds then? Sarah Newton: So Working Minds is a collaboration. It's a partnership of a number of organisations. We've already doubled the number of organisations we work with. We're so grateful to our partners. So some of our founding partners such as Acas, Ceca, Mind, Mates in Mind. Now we're working with different industry sectors, so working a lot with their representative bodies across a huge range of industries. And a huge benefit to us of that is to draw on their expertise, but also to reach out to their members. You know, big companies will often have HR departments, they'll have investments into all types of health and wellbeing type programs, but small and medium sized companies don't always have those resources available for their staff. So it's very important that we really reach out to every business right across the UK and provide them with some tools that really will make the difference. Most employers will understand that it's their responsibility to think about the physical risks, the physical health concerns that people can have at work, But what they don't often realise is they have an equal responsibility to the psychological wellbeing of their staff. So part of our campaign is to remind employers of those legal responsibilities. They do have a duty to do risk assessments of their employees for both physical and psychological risks to ill health, and then to provide them with the toolkits to enable them to assess the risk and then manage and mitigate the risk. And by working with so many different employers, really drawing on their experience what works in their workplaces. So an element of this is going to be peer-to-peer support. So businesses say in the agricultural sector, they come, share good experiences together on what works for them. That's a very different sector than say the NHS or working in an advanced manufacturing location. So while the principles are the same, the applications and probably the examples of good practice will be different. And so we'll be wanting to build on the huge success of the first year, have more people become partners, more people become champions, access the materials that are there so that they can take some really practical actions in their workplaces to improve the health and wellbeing of their staff. Mick Ord (Host): And as you've already said, it's not just big companies with HR departments, is it? It's the small, maybe a company with 20 employees or something like that. Sarah Newton: You know how right you are. But a vast majority of people in the UK are employed in small and medium size organisations. And actually recent data will show a lot of people are employed in, you know, what might loosely be called the gig economy, or platform workers. And platform workers, may be just part of their employment. Perhaps they've got a job with an employer, but then they actually supplement that income as a platform worker, and those companies are not in day-to-day contact with their employees, with the people that they are working with to actually deliver the services through these platforms. Now they really need to think hard about how they are going to reach out to those employers and make sure that they are undertaking their risk assessments, so to prevent people having physical or mental ill health at work. Mick Ord (Host): Cary, you wanted to come in there? Prof. Cary Cooper: Yeah, Sarah's really hit a really important issue. A lot of the bigger companies since the financial crisis of 2008-2015, have really treated stress at work and wellbeing much more seriously, much more strategically. There are now directors of health and wellbeing in many of the big companies and public sector bodies. Indeed, the NHS have. Every hospital in the NHS has a non-executive director on its board who's responsible for employee health and wellbeing. The real issue, and I think why this campaign is a really important one is for the SME sector, small and medium sized enterprises, because they don't have big HR departments, chief medical officers, and so on. Five years ago, I founded the National Forum for Health and Wellbeing at Work, made up of 40 global employers from Rolls Royce and BT and Microsoft, it goes on and on, BBC and so on, including the NHS Executive. Those people are treating this as a strategic issue. They have directors of health and wellbeing. They're increasingly getting somebody on the board who's responsible for health and wellbeing at work because we have to hold organisations accountable for ensuring that employee health and wellbeing, that stress and mental health is treated properly. That they are actually looking at the data on it, the metrics, which tells them that things aren't going so well, or that they do metrics to make sure that they understand what good looks like in terms of an employer in terms of mental wellbeing of their staff. But it's the SME sector that really needs quite a lot of help. The gig economy that Sarah talked about, I think is really important. And the more we get this out and the more we get the big employers, by the way, to help their supply chain, I think that's the way we're going to get the SME sector, Sarah. I think we've got to get them down to the supply chain or where they're actually physically located, so they have a plant in a particular area and there are other SMEs in that area. You know, we have to help because the big boys have the infrastructure. They have the HR departments, occupational health, and they know and they understand what the HSE is providing and what other people are providing in this space. And that's going to be, I think, our big challenge because our productivity, aside from anything else, our productivity per capita is pretty damn poor. We're set bottom of the G 7 on productivity per capita, tied with Italy. And we're 17th in the G 20 on productivity per capita. So it's health of employees, but it's about our nation. It's about the productivity of our country. And if we create the right kind of cultures where there's wellbeing and people feel valued and trusted and can work flexibly and have good line managers, we're going to make a real difference. Sarah Newton: Yeah. I think what I'd really, really like to pick up on that last point, Cary, it's not only the right thing to do. That companies have a legal obligation. But it's actually in their interests. The data that you get from large organisations will very clearly say for every pound they spend, they get it back 4, 5, 6 times in terms of the productivity of their staff. So there's been a lot of work done by Deloitte and others, which show the return on investment to companies that really invest, or organisations that really invest in the health and wellbeing of their staff. So I think that is a key message that we want to enable to get out. And it's often, I think, more easily received if it's company to company. People in your sector actually making that case rather than a regulator. But we want to enable that message to get across by creating the opportunities for employers to share this type of economic information as well as all the practical things that they're doing in their workplaces to really improve the health and wellbeing of their staff. And one of the things you touched on which I couldn't agree with more is about training line managers. They are absolutely critical. I agree with you. We certainly see at HSE and our duty holders, especially as a result of the pandemic, a lot of focus in the boardroom on health and safety and wellbeing of their staff. and a genuine commitment to do the right thing. But enabling that to happen in the organisation really requires line managers to be trained and well supported. Because without that support, it can be quite a scary conversation. You know, if somebody comes to you and wants to talk to you about things that are really distressing them and causing them stress and anxiety in the work – and that could be partly related to what's happening at home, things outside the workplace., As you were talking about though, the huge financial pressures that many people are under at the moment. It's not always an easy conversation to hear if you haven't been trained on how to hear that conversation and how to respond and understand that your organisation will support you in enabling you to do your job. To either signpost that person to some more professional support, or to give you the ability to support them in the way that you and the employer want to. So it requires, you know, quite a lot of effort and support for organisations into their line managers so that they can have those conversations. Prof. Cary Cooper: It's interesting, Mick, what happened when we formed the National Forum for Health and Wellbeing five years ago. it's made up of HR directors, chief medical officers, directors of health and wellbeing of all these major companies, public sector bodies. On our first meeting, they said the big issue for us – this is five years ago, this is pre pandemic – our big issue is people tend to get promoted to managerial roles or recruited to those roles based on their technical skills, not their people skills. Our big issue is that we don't have the cadre of managers all the way up the system and every sector where there's parity between their technical skills and their social skills. And so the EQ – the emotional intelligence of our line managers is really fundamental in creating a culture. Because listen, all of us in the workplace have a boss in our careers. That boss values you, listens to you, enables you to work flexibly if that's what you want. Understands what's going on in your personal life as well, because that impacts your work and treats you like a human being. Then that's going to create an atmosphere and create a culture where wellbeing will thrive and stress will not thrive. And so I think our challenge here, and by the way, the big companies and big public sector bodies know this. We've got to get the message across to the SME sector, to the gig economy, to the third sector, and that's why Working Minds means a lot to me because those are the organisations that we really have to get, you know, get on board on this and for them to totally understand. Because to be honest with you, they employ more people than the private sector. The SMEs employ more people than the big boys do. Mick Ord (Host): Have you got some examples of the kind of impact work-related stress has on workers and the actual impact it's had on their lives? Just give us a real life example if you could. Prof. Cary Cooper: Oh, there's so many examples. I'll tell you what is a big example. I hate to make this kind of contemporary, but I'm going to do it anyway – bullying at work has always been a big issue. Where we have toxic managers who bully people – command and control types. That's very damaging. I did a big study many years ago with the CBI, the TUC, there was 80 organisations in all. We looked at nearly a million workers, and in depth five and a half thousand. Almost every sector was involved in this, because we were trying to identify what the impact of bullying was, what the extent of it was, and we found that really at any moment in time, 10% of people are being bullied at work. By bullying at work, it means persistent devaluing of people. It's not physical bullying, it's psychological bullying. And the impact is that, the mental health impact is profound. And we are looking at all– by the way, they're in every sector from the NHS ,to universities, to IT companies, you name it. It's not just in what you think is the really fast moving high octane businesses, It's everywhere. And therefore that goes back again to an issue that we really have to tackle. By the way, companies now do have policies on bullying at work. Which they didn't have, and that followed the kind of studies we do, but people are affected by the workplace a lot. We can do things about that, and that's the important thing. When we're recruiting people for jobs now, particularly managerial roles, we have to ensure there's parity between their people skills and their technical skills. That will help not just bullying, but just bad management, frankly. And that will help create a culture because bosses do create cultures. Mick Ord (Host): And in terms of the way in which workplace culture has changed over the years, Sarah, are we in a better place now than we may have been 20 years ago? Or do you think there's still a huge amount of work to be done, particularly in relation to what Cary was talking about there? Sarah Newton: Oh goodness. What a question That is Mick, that's quite a long perspective, 20 years, isn't it? And all workplaces. I would say since my time at HSE over the last couple of years and really reflecting on the COVID pandemic experience, listening to people at HSE who have been inspectors and with the organisation for say, 20, 30 years. What they told me was it was a really positive response of all the different businesses that we've been in touch with and supported over the pandemic. They really did want to do the right thing for their employers. You know, big, small, all the different sizes of business. We were supporting all sorts of business at which we don't normally regulate to enable them to carry on providing the essential goods and services that we all needed during the pandemic to enable their staff to go to work as safely as they possibly could. And what they told me was, They really felt that employers were trying to do the right thing. There was a high degree of engagement, and we really found when we were doing spot checks, you know, high degrees of compliance with the advice that was put out for employers. And I think as Cary and others have reflected the. Because of the pandemic. There's just a heightened sense amongst the leaders of small companies, medium companies in the boardrooms of the big companies about the importance of the health and wellbeing of their employees. It's just the right thing to do. It makes good business sense, and what I want to do is use that as a springboard to really make further progress. Because while that may be the case that there is a greater awareness. Certainly looking at the data, the amount of people who are reporting that they are being ill at work, stress at work is causing them to be ill and they're having to take a day off work, those numbers are all going in the wrong direction. And you know, it's a very significant problem. So I do believe that it's the culture of an organisation that is the most important thing to change. It is about leadership. Whether, you know, you are the boss of 10 people, 20 people, or 20,000 people. You as the boss set the tone, you set the priorities for your organisation. And I know that part of our campaign is very much about that culture change and enabling leaders at all levels of organisations to have the tools, to have the information, to be able to develop that culture change. And just so I get a quick plug in here, Mick, I mean, there's a newsletter, there is a campaign microsite, people can join up, become champions, sign up to the newsletters. They will be given free information about what they can do. And as the campaign grows, as really it's going to be a movement that develops, there'll be sharing of good examples, sharing of good practice. So it's going to be an ongoing set of information and tools that people could use to help them to, you know, create better workplaces across the country. Mick Ord (Host): It really is an active contribution towards that, isn't it? Sarah Newton: Yeah. Mick Ord (Host): Cary, what specifically are the signs and symptoms that employees should be looking for in their workforce? Prof. Cary Cooper: Okay, well, there's a word called pressure, and there's a word called stress. So pressure by the way, for most of us, is stimulating and motivating, but when pressure exceeds our ability to cope, then that's stress. And the dividing line, normally, when you know you're getting close to going from the pressure zone into the stress zone, is usually behaviour change. So if you're a line manager and you observe your employee who normally has a good sense of humour, is really active, participates in team meetings actively. And all of a sudden they're more withdrawn, more angry, more negative and that's not the way they normally were, that's the first sign. So behaviour change is the first sign that you've gone from the pressure zone into the stress zone. Then you start getting the symptoms, the physical symptoms of it: lack of sleep, constant headaches, health changes as well. You start drinking more, smoking more. A whole range of issues. And those signs are really important to observe. But if you can get it early, it's like anything in the health arena, isn't it? The earlier you can identify the behavioural change in a human being. So if I'm walking down at Manchester Business School and somebody says to me "Cary, you haven't been yourself the last several months, is something wrong?" that should be an indication to me that something is wrong. That my behaviour's being perceived by other people as having changed quite dramatically. And that's because I'm now under stress, not under just the normal everyday positivities of pressure. Because pressure is kind of stimulating. You know, we all like a bit of that in our job. And you really have to then identify what the issue is that's driving that. And again, if you have a good boss who listens to you or a good work colleague who listens to you, or you don't necessarily need an EAP – an employee assistance program, counseling services. Many, almost all businesses have them, I think they're great. They do work. I did an evaluation for the HSE incidentally many, many years ago. Of all the EAPs in the UK, HSE has been part of my life, it looks like! My career life for so many years! But I did, I was commissioned to do a study of all the EAPs many years ago to look at them. How effective are they? And they are very effective. But the important thing is they help the individual, but they don't change the organisation culture. And that's why this kind of a campaign the HSE are doing and have always been involved in from 20 years ago with our management standards, is let's change the culture. Let's do prevention. EAP helps the individual cope with the problem they already have. And that's fine. And we need that. That's a part of the arsenal, the mental health arsenal that we need to have. But it would be really nice if we can start preventing some of this in the first place so we didn't have to do remedial work and treatment like EAPs and other things. Sarah Newton: Well I couldn't agree more. And the campaign is all about prevention by raising awareness amongst employers. And we do have, as part of the toolkit, a stress assessment tool that organisations can use because I absolutely agree with Cary. It's about identifying in your organisation, whatever the size of it, what is causing the stress in the workplace? You know, as Cary says, you can be really quite exciting to be in an environment where you feel that pressure to get things done, and lots of people like challenging environments. but when it tips over into causing stress in the workplace, the toolkit is there to help organisations identify where it's happening and what is driving it so they can look more systemically at what they can do differently. I mean, there are some really simple recent examples which have got quite a lot of media attention around saying to staff We don't want you to be looking at your emails, for example, beyond a certain time. I mean, not everyone can do this, but there's quite a lot of blurring of the lines between work and home going on in the workplace today. And so that in itself can cause stress because people aren't certain what their bosses are expecting of them to their working hours. And so some simple measures like that, being very clear that we really value you, we really appreciate you. We want you to have a separation between your work life and your home life and so we don't want you to be switching on your computer, your laptop, or looking at your emails beyond this time.. And then manager's not responding in saying, Look, I noticed you've sent this at a certain hour. That's not my expectation. I'm really happy to respond to this tomorrow. Let's talk about this tomorrow. So simple things like that can make a big difference, but you'll only know if this is an issue or not in your organisation if you undertake the toolkit. If you use the toolkit, you assess whether that's stressful or not, and then reach out. Have those conversations, put things in place, check in. Are they working? Are they having the desired effect? I think Sarah's raised a really interesting point. When my national forum was formed five years ago, the first issue was the line manager. Guess what the second issue was, Sarah? It was email usage. And now we have the Right to Disconnect law in France, Portugal, New Zealand. We have a number of countries doing that. Incidentally, a company was fined 60,000 euros for breaking it. So they actually use it. That means no manager can send an email out of office hours to their subordinates. That means at night, at weekends, or while they're on holiday. I do have a problem with that law in a way, because if we're to work flexibly, how the hell do we work? If you're picking your kids up at 3:30 and want to be with them, read with them, spend time with them, but then at night start to work, and like Volkswagen, you close down the server at 5:30 to try to stop people doing it or you say you can't do your emails at night, we have a problem. But we do need guidelines on the use of emails because it is interfering with people's lives. It's a whole field by the way, and tons of research on it now, called Technostress. You know, things like don't CC in everybody, don't send an email to anybody at on a Friday afternoon. Even if you say as a line manager, I've heard managers say to me, "I send an email, but I tell them not to respond until Monday morning. Well, why send it in the first place? Because they're going to worry about it all weekend. So we really do need simple things like Sarah said. So my national forum came up with a four page document. This is good practice. This is what you don't do to protect people's private lives. Yes. If the company's burning down, there's something going on that's really significant, yes out of office hours, fine. But try not to interfere with people's private life. They need time, They need respite away from the pressures of life because we have a lot of 'em honest. So that's a part of the puzzle. that's a part of the wellbeing puzzle. The line manager. Emails. The culture. Flexible working. All of that creates a strategic response to try to prevent people getting ill and being overloaded. Mick Ord (Host): So finally, Sarah, for people listening, whatever the size of their company, what do you think that they should be doing now to address the issues that we've been talking about today? Sarah Newton: First of all, I would really encourage them to become a champion. So we've got a really good website, which is workright.campaign.gov.uk/workingminds . They'll find loads of free information there. They can sign up to be a champion, and then on an ongoing basis, will get free really useful information. And then start today. Just think about how you can use those five R's in your workplace to reach out to a colleague. to recognise, to listen to their concerns. To respond. Then to reflect on how's that worked, what difference is it making? And then just make it routine. Check in with your colleagues to see how things are going for them. So those simple five R's are things that any one of us can do each day in our workplace. Mick Ord (Host): So Sarah Newton, Chair of the Health and Safety Executive and professor Cary Cooper, thanks a lot for joining us today.

This episode will be hosted by Javed Siddiqui, Professor of Accounting, Alliance Manchester Business School. Pressures from various donor agencies (such as the World Bank), combined with the pursuit of legitimacy by governments in many developing countries, have resulted in various western accounting and corporate governance mechanisms to be exported to the developing world. Accounting researchers have identified the inherent limits to what (western) governance systems can achieve, especially in certain (non-western) contexts, and have often termed these practices as ‘ritualistic'. Drawing from his personal research journey, Professor Javed Siddiqui will discuss the potential policy implications of such research. For example, given the presence of weak capital markets, where investors do not really appreciate the value of a ‘good' audit, and the reasonable success of various supply chain certification schemes, is there a scope for changing the focus of auditing and governance mechanisms in developing economies (as suggested by the Brydon review)? If so, what is stopping certain forms of change from coming within? Also, given the tendency of governments in developing countries to adopt western governance mechanisms without considering the context, do regulators in western countries need a more cautious approach towards policy development? Javed is a Professor of Accounting at the Alliance Manchester Business School, and the school Director for post-graduate taught (PGT) programmes, responsible for a portfolio of fifteen specialised MSc programmes. Javed joined Manchester Business School as a Lecturer in 2008, and was promoted to a Senior Lecturer in the same school in 2015. His primary fields of research are auditing, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting, especially in the context of developing economies. His research has been funded by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS), the UK Financial Reporting Council (FRC) and the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission, UK. Professor Siddiqui worked with international development agencies, such as the World Bank and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Big Four accountancy firms, as well as national level professional accountancy bodies. This event will be facilitated by Christopher Humphrey, Professor of Accounting in the Accounting and Finance division of Alliance Manchester Business School.

The world of work has never been so volatile, uncertain and complex.  Seismic changes and trends that would normally take decades to emerge have followed one after the other!To make sense of where we find ourselves I'm joined by  world's preeminent authority on organisational culture and employee wellbeing. Professor Sir Cary Cooper CBE is the 50th Anniversary Professor of Psychology at Manchester Business School, The University of Manchester.  He is a founding President of the British Academy of Management and Immediate Past President of the CIPD. Among his many achievements, Professor Cooper is currently the Chair of the National Forum for Health & Wellbeing at Work.  In 2014 he was awarded a Knighthood by the Queen for his contribution to the social sciences.  I don't like my boss [04:17]Professor Cooper remarks that a significant driver of the so called ‘great resignation' was in part employee's dissatisfaction with their boss.  He think this has led some in HR about whether they have right managers or managers with the right skills in place. Sadly he feels too many organisations recruit solely on technical skills and not soft skills or EQ.What do we do about Millennials and GenZ workers? [06:03]Professor Cooper believes this generation of workers have a very different value set to their parents. Mis-characterised as ‘Snow Flakes' Professor Cooper argues that this ‘generation' don't feel entitled.  They're just not prepared to tolerate what their parents did. Is Jacob Rees-Mogg right about flexible working? [07:53]Not according to Professor Cooper. He goes onto give a withering assessment of the UK's perennial issue with productivity despite working some of the longest hours.  Hybrid working another way [9:20]What is HR's obsession with numbers of days at home or spent in the office? Professor Cooper takes us back to the psychological contract and tells us to look at this in a different way.  He says this isn't a big conversation, so why have we made it one?A new deal for blue-collar workers? [11:18]Many of those in the ‘professional classes' have enjoyed the ability to work flexibly but what about those jobs that cannot be done from home? Professor Cooper recommends that a new deal such as a 4 day week or a variation of created to allow these workers some time off. Employee wellbeing is not about bean bags [15:33]Bean bags, sushi and ping pong is not employee wellbeing. Employee wellbeing is a major strategic shift. Professor Cooper highlights the NHS where every trust now has an non-executive director responsible for health and wellbeing. At [14:25], Professor Cooper argues for an NED responsible for health and wellbeing appointed to the board of every UK company whatever their size. Why don't business schools teach soft skills? [26:26]Business schools contrate far too much on teaching technical skills such as the key theories in HR, marketing and accountancy but in the main ignore more experiential leaning that gets individuals to understand their personality and the effect they have on others. Recruiting on the wrong skills [29:04]Attending a top business school or university isn't a guarantee an individual is going to be any good at managing others. Organisations need to look beyond the technical skills and assess instead an individual's interpersonal or soft skills. Professor Cooper believes the majority of managers/leaders can develop these skills and the ones that can't should not be allowed to manage anyone.Resources:https://www.linkedin.com/in/professor-sir-cary-cooper-4213909/https://www.linkedin.com/in/podcasthost/https://ovenreadyhr.comhttps://buddyboost.co.uk

Businesses are central in enabling global transitions to Net-Zero carbon energy and land-use systems. Business firms will need to innovate and scale new technologies, goods and services, business models and markets that make this new, more sustainable world become a reality. In the process, business incentives, accountabilities, and legitimacy will also be transformed. Institutions matter and they evolve. To meet the Net-Zero challenge, business organisations themselves are needing to change. In this lecture, Frans will review how the scope of business accountability has changed, what this means for notions of performance, how this influences practices of reporting and transparency, and how this feeds through to access to key resources, including capital and talent. Using some examples, Frans will conclude with some suggestions about how these linked business trends related to scope, performance, transparency and resources may unfold in future. This annual Grigor McClelland lecture will be given by Professor Frans Berkhout, Professor of Environment, Society and Climate at King's College London. Frans' presentation will be followed by a panel discussion. Joining Frans will be Professor Frank Geels, Professor Carly McLachlan, Director of Tyndall Manchester and Nkem Marian Igwe, Full-Time MBA Candidate. The discussion will be facilitated by Professor Andy McMeekin, Professor of Innovation at the Sustainable Consumption Institute. This lecture series was introduced in our 50th Anniversary year in 2015 in honour of the School's founding Director, Professor Grigor McClelland. During his twelve years as Director and Professor of Business Administration at Manchester Business School, Grigor shaped management and education for the next generation. He was a strong advocate of the principle that business cannot be divorced from society and that managers should be ethical and socially responsible. Our previous guest speakers for this lecture series, include Co-op Group's CEO Steve Murrells; Sir George Bain, former Chair of the Low Pay Commission which introduced the Minimum Wage in 1998; Craig Bennett, Chief Executive of Friends of the Earth; Torsten Bell, Director of the Resolution Foundation, Anna Dixon, Chief Executive of Ageing Better, Martin Wolf, Chief Economics Commentator at the Financial Times and Diane Coyle, Bennett Professor of Public Policy at the University of Cambridge. All have based the core themes of their lectures on this principle.

Amid warnings from the West that time really is running out, the G7 group of nations has reiterated that it is ready to impose sanctions on Russia if it sends troops over the border; we hear from Oleg Chernyak who is based in Ukraine's second city, close to the Russian border. Plenty of companies talk about net zero campaign organisation Share Action, says many are failing to fulfil pledges, with a large number of the world's biggest banks continuing to fund oil and gas expansion programmes; we hear from Kevin Anderson, a leading British Climate Scientist. The Indian government has decided to ban more than fifty Chinese mobile apps, saying they pose a threat to the country's security; we get the details from Amit Bhandari, a senior fellow for energy investment and connectivity at Gateway House. One billion of the world's population have some form of disability - the BBC's Tamasin Ford has been speaking to some of the people working to end disability exclusion. An energy firm in Britain has apologised after mistakenly sending out compensation cheques worth several trillion dollars to some people hit by power cuts during a storm last year. So how common is this - we ask Olga Kolokolova, senior finance lecturer in finance at the Manchester Business School.

In this annual Grigor McClelland podcast, we will explore how current business practices are encouraging short-termism, ignoring nature and harming customers. The sense that capitalism needs to change, post-pandemic, reflects widespread concerns about the way business operates. In particular, many sectors of the economy are increasingly dominated by big companies, and this has been accompanied by the productivity slowdown, an absence of pay increases - except for executives - and a sense that innovation has stopped benefiting consumers. There are calls for businesses to rediscover their sense of corporate purpose and sign up to ESG reporting. But while businesses should of course behave ethically, a reset of the social contract requires governments to play an important part. Shaping the kind of market society we want after the pandemic involves political choices, not just technical measurement frameworks. The podcast will be given by Professor Diane Coyle, Bennett Professor of Public Policy, University of Cambridge. Diane was a Professor of Economics at the University of Manchester from 2014 – 18. She played a pivotal role in bringing the Productivity Institute to AMBS and now sits on its leadership team. This series was introduced in our 50th Anniversary year in 2015 in honour of the School's founding Director, Professor Grigor McClelland.

It goes without saying that in financial services, trust is a vital commodity. The potential dividends of trust and ethical conduct are significant. Employees are far more likely to be engaged and live your organization's values, be strongly committed to their job and the customers they serve. While customers are far more likely to advocate on your behalf, stay loyal, and crucially buy your products. In this interesting webinar, we will be talking to David Coe, CEO of the Fairbanking Foundation, whose presentation will explain the Fairbanking Mark, how it works, and why financial services companies should keep trust and ethics central to their culture. David will be joined by Matt Gantley, CEO of the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), which as the UK's government-appointed National Accreditation Body oversees and accredits the Fairbanking Mark scheme.

Miguel Armaza sits down with Lex Greensill, founder and CEO of Greensill Capital, a leading provider of working capital and supply chain finance solutions for businesses and individuals around the world. Founded in 2011, Greensill employs over 1,000 people worldwide and has raised close to $1.3 billion in equity from some of the largest funds in the industry, including SoftBank and General Atlantic. Lex Greensill Lex Greensill, Co-founder and CEO of Greensill Capital, saw first-hand the impact that an inefficient financial supply chain can have on a family’s finances, growing up on his parents’ sugar cane farm in Australia. Farming sugar cane is highly inefficient when it comes to working capital and getting paid. It takes up to 18 months to grow the crop and then another 12 months to get paid for it. Lex’s parents couldn’t afford to send him to university. He clerked at a country law firm, studied law at by correspondence at night and worked pro-bono for the Queensland Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association with a brief to make sure farmers got paid promptly. That principle, and the payment code Lex devised for farmers in Australia, became the foundation of Greensill that still guides the company today. Lex’s vision was always to make finance fairer for everybody. As a business, Greensill is harnessing its technology and financial expertise to accelerate the movement of cash into the real economy. Lex previously established the global SCF business at Morgan Stanley and led the EMEA SCF business at Citi. Lex holds an MBA from Manchester Business School and is a Solicitor of the Supreme Courts of England and Wales, and Queensland. In 2018, Lex was awarded the CBE for services to the UK economy. About Greensill Greensill makes access to finance faster, cheaper and fairer. Powered by financial technology but with deep expertise in credit management, we accelerate the movement of capital to where it is needed most, in the real economy. And through our vision of equal access to finance, we want to revolutionise the world of work, so no-one should have to wait to be paid. Greensill is the market-leading provider of working capital finance for businesses and people globally. Our more than 800 specialists worldwide have provided $143bn of financing in 2019 to more than 8m customers and suppliers in over 175 countries.

Working from home could outlast the pandemic. But workers' experiences with homeworking in lockdown are not all positive. Manuela Saragosa speaks to some office workers who've struggled to adapt to home life, and to Dr Zofia Bajorek, research fellow at the Institute for Employment Studies in the UK, who's been surveying workers on the pressures they've faced in lockdown. Cary Cooper, professor of organisational psychology and health at Manchester Business School, explains why face-to-face contact is so important for innovation in the workplace, and why flexible working with a mix of office and home will ultimately make us all happier.

This episode features a guest who truly embodies beauty and brains, sprinkled with Southern charm and killer Manhattan-esque (is that a word? lol) fashion sense! I met Christie a little over 5 years ago at a Leadership Miami Welcome mixer on South Beach. She was impeccably dressed yet so warm, witty, and really made me feel comfortable as a newcomer to the LM Family. From being voted by her 6th grade teachers as "Best Groomed," to being voted by her high school classmates as "Best Dressed" for 3 consecutive years to being named 2012 Brickell's Best Dressed with a feature in Brickell Magazine, Christie, a Spelman College and Manchester Business School alum, clearly has a great eye for fashion! After years of co-workers, friends, and family asking Christie to shop with or for them and after unlimited calls and text messages for fashion advice, she established her company in 2016 while in business school pursuing her MBA. She began working with targeted professionals as a complimentary service to make sure her business model worked. Later, she began charging a fee and worked the business as a side gig. In 2018, Christie took the leap of faith to work on I Am CHIC full time. Tune in as we discuss her take on what it truly takes to be a full-time entrepreneur, the continuous learning process, her candid account on contemplating returning to a 9-5 (on several occasions!), and the importance of mentorship, networking, and having your coins adequately in order to survive the uncertain, yet rewarding, journey of business ownership.

Prof Pikay Richardson is a visiting fellow of the Manchester Business School. He lectures MBA programs all over the world having travelled several continents. He is an author of several publications. Rev. Albert and Comfort Ocran hosted Pikay in July 2009 on Springboard, your Virtual University, and discussed why the need to go global and how one can successfully go global. He names exporting, franchising, foreign direct investment, and strategic alliance as some of the strategies for going global. Enjoy this very revealing expose.

Welcome to today's LeaderLab. As you know, LeaderLab is focused on having inspiring leaders share their stories and practical leadership tips in order to help others be more effective. Today is March 26, 2020, and we are facing an unprecedented time for leaders as they navigate the uncharted world in dealing with the global health pandemic of coronavirus. We debated internally whether to stop or postpone these podcasts when a leader we deeply respect suggested that we continue but refocus on helping leaders share their personal insights and tips on how they are responding to the crisis. Clearly, there's no playbook on how to tackle the economic, social, and emotional challenges that leaders are having to navigate through. But our hope is that by, perhaps, making lessons from others available, we might be able to help share some ideas and let leaders know that they are not alone. Our next few episodes will be focused on how leaders are managing through these times and we hope you find them helpful. [MUSIC PLAYING] NARRATOR: Welcome to LeaderLab, where we talk to experts about how leaders can excel in a modern world. Helping leaders for over 20 years, your host, Tineke Keesmaat. TINEKE KEESMAAT: Today, I'm joined by Jacqui McGillivray. Jacqui is the leader in the field of people and is passionate about helping individuals and their teams achieve their fullest potential. She's currently the executive vice president and chief people officer at Element Fleet Management. She has had senior leadership positions in a range of industries including financial services, oil and gas, and telecommunications. Jacqui and I were planning on doing a podcast today on engagement when these COVID-19 crises broke. She has generously suggested that we continue with the podcast but focus specifically on practical leadership tips, on how she and her leadership team are responding to the crisis, knowing that there's no perfect answer and that every leader is trying to figure it out. Jacqui, thank you so much for joining me today on LeaderLab. JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Thanks, I'm thrilled to be here. TINEKE KEESMAAT: So Jacqui, just help me help our listeners understand a bit more of who you are. First, can you tell me what Element Fleet is? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Element Fleet is a leading global fleet management company. So what that means is we provide both financing for commercial vehicles as well as services to manage those vehicles. So it's all about making the fleet safer, smarter, more productive for our clients. TINEKE KEESMAAT: What is your specific role at Element Fleet? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: So I'm proud to be a member of our executive team, and I have three key areas of responsibility. One is what we call our balanced scorecard, so that's translating our strategy into key objectives and measurable outcomes. That's what creates focus for the organization in each year. Secondly, I have the people function, so everything regarding human resources from start to finish. And then thirdly, I have our global communications and events group. TINEKE KEESMAAT: That's a very interesting set of roles that you have. What has the impact of COVID-19 been on Element Fleet? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: It's an unprecedented situation for our business and our people. We've seen a softening of demand as people self-isolate, work from home. And as a result, the utilization of Fleet declines. Many of our clients are making changes to their operations and their needs are changing. Our suppliers are also responding in this environment. And so we're working with both suppliers and clients to understand and adapt to their changing business environments so that we can continue to deliver a consistent superior experience. TINEKE KEESMAAT: Jacqui, how has the leadership team been working through this crisis? What's the same and, potentially, what has had to be different? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Well, the team's been on a transformation journey for the last 18 months, so it's been quite a dynamic environment in and of itself. And we would be very honest in our approach to say that it's been difficult. But we've grown as a team. We trust each other and we lead with that focus, which is anchored in our strategy. What's different is that we have to be very practical in our execution right now. And we can do that because we have created a culture of agility and accountability. And with that, we're able to play as a team, right? We all have a role. We all have a position. And we're playing both offense and defense. TINEKE KEESMAAT: Give me some examples of what that agility has looked like over the last four weeks as this crisis has unfolded. JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Over the last four weeks, we've enacted our BCP, as many companies have. And we've taken the action to move 90% of our workforce to work from home. And for those that are within our facilities, we've taken all the necessary precautions to ensure that those facilities remain safe for our people. TINEKE KEESMAAT: And what does it look like in practice? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Yeah, so it looks like deep cleaning. It looks like strong security measures. It looks like really limiting the amount of work that needs to be done in the office-- because there are a few pieces of our processes that do-- to the essentials. TINEKE KEESMAAT: And I'm curious what that has been like for employees where so many people get to go work from home and some are still in the office. Has that created any tension or questions, or any concerns for folks that some people actually still need to go to the office every day and others are getting to work from the safety of their homes? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: It's actually created a feeling of connection and we're all in this together. We are rotating staff in and out of the office so that we don't have a full complement there. And that's doable because we have seen a slight softening of demand. And people are reaching out and making sure, what can I do? And also trusting in our leadership because of the credibility we've built throughout the transformation, that we're taking the necessary steps and we're putting our people first, and their health, and well-being. And the last thing I'd say is we communicate every day. We have a goal of transparency beyond anything I've ever seen. TINEKE KEESMAAT: What does that communication look like every day? Is that an email? Is it live chats? How are you communicating each day to team members? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: So it's been really fun. It's been tough messages but in creative ways. So we commit a daily update to our senior leaders. And then the following day, we send out employee communications. It can be over email. Our CEO recently did his own production of a video, which was so comforting and endearing. And people have responded wonderfully to it as we all learn how to work from home. We sent out a virtual care package. TINEKE KEESMAAT: What was in that? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Yeah, so it was just a number of tips, and links, and information to help everyone adjust to working from home-- parents of younger children, people who are caring for family members-- just even apps that can help you be mindful, workouts, tips for healthy eating, exercise. And people got it. And they just responded in numbers to say, thank you for thinking of me because I don't even know where to start. TINEKE KEESMAAT: Well, that sounds sounds a very holistic, whole-person approach, right? It's not just come and get this work done it. It's hey, we recognize that this is uncharted, uncomfortable times and we want to take care of you as a person, not just an employee. JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Absolutely. TINEKE KEESMAAT: Talk to me a little bit about helping people transition to working at home. You mentioned some people are caring for others, some people have small kids. How are you helping people think through how to be productive from wherever they're situated today? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: The challenge is we will all feel like we need to be on 24/7 and there's no clear division of work and home anymore. And so we need to step into that, and acknowledge, and accept that it's OK if children run in, dogs run in. It's OK if you need to take a break, step away. We've really got to create a structure, and a beginning, and an end to the workday. At the same time, we also ask that some of our people be available 24/7 in the event that we need to respond quickly. TINEKE KEESMAAT: And the structure-- so, is everybody expected to be on from 9:00 to 3:00? Or are sub-teams coming up with their working hours? How are you creating a structure that is both productive so that folks can get into a flow but also flexible to accommodate the dogs running in, and the children, and the random things that happen when you are just at home? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Structure feels somewhat nonexistent in this environment. I think what we're looking at is starting with, what's the work that needs to get done? Who are the people that we have? We do have excess capacity in some of our people. How do we redeploy them to where the priorities are or where they're needed most? Because we have some clients whose demand is increasing and we have others whose demand is softening. And so we're looking at active redeployment. And then lastly, I would say the tools that we have, we all-- it was amazing what our technology team did in a week, not even a week. I would say in three days, we had 90% of our workforce working from home. We had a gentleman drive a U-Haul truck with 90 monitors-- TINEKE KEESMAAT: Wow. JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: --from one site to the other site. These selfless efforts are part of who we are and we share those stories, both what we're doing for each other and what we're doing for our clients, particularly in the health care industry. And it is so uplifting. People just want more and more of that. And lastly, I would say these tools, it's hilarious when you're sitting with the executive team on Zoom and we're all learning, oh, if you click this, you raise your hand. TINEKE KEESMAAT: [LAUGHS] JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Oh, if you click this, you have the cool moon background. And it's almost somewhat juvenile but hilarious at the same time, right? We're forced to use these tools and in a fun, collaborative way. TINEKE KEESMAAT: And isn't it amazing how people that I've been really shy about tools or thinking that they're complex, how quickly people can learn and adapt? I think of some of my clients that-- oh, we're going to move to remote work. We will get there. But we have to go through these massive programs to get our teams ready. And yet like you said, in the course of three days, you've got 90% of your staff up and running on it. And I think it's fascinating just what is possible in organizations and how adaptable people actually can be when they need to be. JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: The journey that we've been on, as I mentioned earlier, our transformation, it hasn't been easy. We've asked a lot of our people. We've made some difficult decisions. But through all that, the one thing that we have committed to is open, honest, frequent communications from our CEO right out through the organization. And we have committed that even through the most difficult decisions. And it's created that trust, right? And it's not something to take lightly because that can easily break if we don't follow through in this environment in particular. TINEKE KEESMAAT: There might be some people listening to this who haven't got the right communication channels in place yet or they've not been the most open with team members. How would you advise them to get started? Because in this particular moment, it is more important than ever. Any advice for folks getting started, particularly at this rather unique time in our world? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Well, it starts with going back to the basics. Our CEO, Jay Forbes, laid that out as a key principle in our strategy when we started our transformation 18 months ago. And a lot of us went, what does that mean? And we quickly realized that it starts with the understanding of, what is the work we do? How do we work? Who do we work with? Why are we doing this, our purpose? I don't mean to get philosophical on you. But I do think when you go back to your core purpose and the basics of how you work, you can think of it similar to how you communicate. And so let's now think we don't collide into each other at work because we're not physically present. I now need to create those collisions by setting up a daily meeting, a weekly huddle. I need to put one-on-ones with my direct reports into the calendar where I could have crossed the hall and knocked on their door. These are basic means of ensuring those connection points throughout the day. And then encouraging people to come together and solve the problems in front of us and collaborate. This is-- I mean, we talk about collaboration, Tineke, so many times we've talked about it. This is collaboration at its best. TINEKE KEESMAAT: Right. Because there's no choice. There's no perfect answer. As you said earlier, there's no playbook. And there's just really tough problems everyday that companies are having to face. And so people need to be in it together in order to come up with the best possible solution in this moment. So collaboration-- I can see that the need for it is exponentially higher than people have experienced in the past. And I think some people think, well, how can I collaborate if I don't have those collisions and if not sitting in the room with somebody? How are you guys using technology to facilitate people collaborating from a distance? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: It's almost expected, just assumed that we'll all jump on Zoom. We'll use our cell phones. And you know, it's funny. At the beginning of this, I would think about-- OK, so I've showered, I have makeup, I've dressed appropriately. Now it's like, OK, some days I need to put my hair in a ponytail and ask for forgiveness on what you're going to see. Because-- TINEKE KEESMAAT: [LAUGHS] JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: --this is isn't about looking pretty. This is about being present. TINEKE KEESMAAT: It's amazing. From where I've sat, I've had so many client conversations or colleague conversations-- very humanizing, right? So I'm seeing the insides of people's homes. I'm seeing their children. I'm seeing people on bad hair days. I'm seeing people that have literally just come in from a run and their ponytails are all crazy. And it's interesting. It's not getting in the way of productivity and it's helping me to connect with people in a different way than I have in the past. So I think it's very interesting that you've just raised that point that it isn't about looking pretty. It's just about being in the work together. And it is creating a way to connect that we may not have had in the past. JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Yeah, it's being authentic, right? And that is what society, I think, forgets, is bringing your authentic self to every situation. Some days you're going to have good days. Some days you're not going to have good days. It's being present with yourself and your team. And I read something this morning. The common question we ask people is, how are you? How are you doing? And often, we don't listen to the response. Well, now we've got to listen. TINEKE KEESMAAT: And I imagine that you are getting answers to that question at a time where people feel like hey, I'm actually not doing really well, I'm scared at this moment. Or my husband is in a job and there's economic uncertainty with his. So how are you encouraging your leaders to really listen. And in those moments where an employee may not be having the best day ever, how are you encouraging them to connect? Or what resources are you providing to help people through these moments? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Yeah, I would say three things. One, build in the space. And I know that's hard because we're jumping from one call to the next Zoom meeting. But try to build in space such that you, yourself, can get up from your workstation and just go for a quick walk around the house. Grab a healthy snack. But create that space so you are present. And the reason I start with that is because a leader needs to be present, right? Because the second point I would say is put the camera on. Look at people. See how they're doing. Is there a question in their eyes? Is there pause? And ask them. Be curious. What's going on? Talk to me. And if they can't right now, then give them the space. But come back to them. Don't forget them. And the third thing I would say is there are so many wonderful resources. Bring those into the workspace. Make them available. You don't have to have the best written communication. You can do things through PowerPoint. You can do things through email. You can do a quick video. There's so many tools being made available now. And leverage the generations, right? We've got people with so much experience and we've got people new to the organization. This isn't about hierarchy. This is about us all bringing our ideas to the table and leveraging the best of those ideas. TINEKE KEESMAAT: The great equalizer, right? Focus on the ideas versus the role-- yeah, interesting. JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Oh, totally. I mean, this virtual care package that we created came from an individual that is quiet but creative. And we leveraged that person who doesn't sit on the communications team but who had capacity. So again, back to-- we want to protect our workforce. We want to leverage the capabilities within it. So let's be curious about who can do what and try things on. And again, just slowing down to speed up. That's an advice that I took from somebody a long time ago. And I've tried myself to remember it. It really helps when you slow down and pause because then you're in the mindset to listen more effectively. TINEKE KEESMAAT: That's great. I'm curious about you personally. It must be very difficult to be in a leadership role, and particularly one focused on the well-being of people, in a time when people are under so much stress. You raised a point around, hey, as a leader, you need to present. You need to up and take a walk. You need to make sure that you are able to be there for your team members. How are you managing the stress or how are you thinking about your own self-care through this? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: I try to get up at 5:00, maybe 5:30. Because being on the west coast, I start at 7:00 AM if I'm lucky. And so if I don't exercise, eat, and shower, it could be a tricky day. [LAUGHS] So I try to do work through things. And look, I'm not looking to win any awards for the best bod by any means. But I do my 20 minutes of yoga. I have my brief little breakfast. And I at least try to shower. [LAUGHS] You know, there's something normalizing about that, right? Whereas if I was rolling out of bed every day doing this, I think I'd feel out of place. TINEKE KEESMAAT: Right. JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Because I need to bring my routine to bear at home. So there's a comfort with that. The other piece that I would say is I travel quite a bit. And so I've been grounded since March 9. And my family loves it because I'm home. And I would say there was a bit of a reprieve initially. Like, oh, I have so much time on my hands. I don't have to pack. I'm not going to an airport. But with that, the weeks feel long and hard. And so the other thing we try to do every day is get out for a walk with the dog. And that happens towards the end of the day, and it has been a lifesaver just to feel the air and the sun, and see people at a distance. TINEKE KEESMAAT: Yes. [LAUGHS] JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Be outside and part of the world. It's very healing. TINEKE KEESMAAT: It's been a big difference maker for myself and my 3 and 1/2 year old as well. The days we get him outside are the better days. And he is just a kid playing outside and making people laugh as they walk by because he's screaming at the top of the lungs, hello world! And so-- JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: [LAUGHS] TINEKE KEESMAAT: --I think that outside world is just-- it is very comforting. And even if you're at a distance, you can smile and say hi to people. And that, I think, helps me, personally anyways, believe that we're going to be OK and that people still can connect even if they can't be standing right beside each other. So that outside piece has definitely been huge for us as well here. I'm curious. I know sometimes it's all uncertain and we're not sure what's going to happen next. But even in this moment, I'm curious if there's been any positive lessons that you've seen, or observed, or that you've learned that you think you may actually adopt to how you work going forward. JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Oh, I think a big one is being practical in our execution. TINEKE KEESMAAT: [LAUGHS] JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Really. I mean, we strive for perfection. We can over-rotate on decisions. And I think right now, time is not our friend. And we need to be focused on what matters most and be practical in our execution. So we might not get it perfect. But we ask for your trust and we're doing our best. And where we don't get it perfect, you will know because we will own that. And where we do get it perfect, we will make sure that we thank the people that helped us get there. It's not one person. It's a team. I mean, I'm terrible with sports analogies. TINEKE KEESMAAT: [LAUGHS] JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: At college they were much better. But we are a team right now. We're in this together. TINEKE KEESMAAT: That's great. And what is your hope for other leaders during this time? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: When people ask, how are you doing? Or they ask, wow, how difficult this must be. How are you coping? And I think that my job is easy compared to those that are on the front line, those that are doctors, or nurses, or health care workers. And so my hope is that we never forget how fortunate we are to live in a community where we do care about the health of others. And we need to bring that into our workplace. And the health and well-being of our people continues to be our first priority. And as leaders, we need to remember that. Our people are our greatest asset. And I know when people say that, it sounds philosophical more than real. But in these times, remember that and act with that objective in everything you do. TINEKE KEESMAAT: And is there a practical piece of advice that you'd have for leaders on how to do that effectively? So how do they make people our most important asset? How do they make that more than philosophical? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: I think you have to remember that each individual is a whole person. So what they bring to work, there is more to them than that. And in this environment, this is beyond anything we've ever seen. Remember, we don't have the answers because we haven't been here before. TINEKE KEESMAAT: Right. JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: So remember the whole person is what you see. And they may not share that whole person. And so just be mindful, and curious, and be your authentic self. Show vulnerability. Because you too are a whole person. And some days, you may not be your best self. And we will forgive that, right? Because we are human and we're a community that's going through something incredibly unprecedented. It's just unbelievable what we are experiencing. And we will live through this, and we will learn from it, and we will be better for it. But wow, is it ever scary, is it ever different. TINEKE KEESMAAT: And it's hard, in that difference and the scariness, to balance between that and then productive work, right? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Absolutely. TINEKE KEESMAAT: So I think there is a need for leaders to just recognize that when I'm having a moment of, holy heck, what's going on? Are we going to get through this? You might be having a productive moment. And so you may have a collision of where you are on that cycle. And just being conscious of that so that you can kind of work through it together and meet people where they are in that particular moment. JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Absolutely. And say, hey, I've got this. Give it to me. I'll take it because I know tomorrow I might not be able to, and you'll take it. So we're here for each other, right? That's what families do. That's what communities do. That's what our health care workers are doing for us right now. They're putting themself in the most dangerous situation and we need to appreciate that by staying home, staying safe, and enabling them to do what they do best. NARRATOR: And now let's get to know our guests a little better with some rapid-fire questions. TINEKE KEESMAAT: So Jacqui, one of the things that we like to do on LeaderLab is to help our listeners get to know you better as a person. And in these crazy times, we do think humanization and humor is needed. So don't think too much to the answers that you have. They're really just intended to be fun, five quick questions. First, what is your go-to comfort food? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Peanut M&Ms. TINEKE KEESMAAT: Peanut M&Ms, very specific. JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Let's be clear, yes. TINEKE KEESMAAT: [LAUGHS] Number two, what is your preferred re-energizing time, going for a workout or curling up with a book? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Oh, Netflix. Not a book, not a workout-- Netflix! TINEKE KEESMAAT: One item you could never live without. JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Peanut butter. TINEKE KEESMAAT: I'm sensing a theme with peanuts here. JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: [LAUGHS]. TINEKE KEESMAAT: Your favorite cartoon character of all time. JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Oh, I don't know! Oh my god. Does that make me a bad person? TINEKE KEESMAAT: Not at all. I don't think I have one, actually. JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: [LAUGHS] TINEKE KEESMAAT: Your work from home attire-- PJs, fully dressed in a suit, or a little bit of both? JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Oh, it's a little bit of both, right? It's all professional from the waist up and then it's comfy slippers on the bottom down. TINEKE KEESMAAT: I love it. Jacqui, this has been amazing. And again, you started this by talking about your curiosity and your care of people. And I've been struck by everything that you have said today is just how that curiosity and care is leading you to make amazing decisions for yourself and for your team. So I really appreciate you sharing your tips, and tricks, and advice, and for leading people through these uncharted times. JACQUI MCGILLIVRAY: Well, I am honored that you asked me to join you. I think the world of what you're doing here. And I hope that your voice reaches many because it's comforting, it's reassuring, and it makes me smile. TINEKE KEESMAAT: [LAUGHS] Oh, that's good. Thank you. NARRATOR: Thank you for joining us today on LeaderLab.

Arjan Keizer, Manchester Business School, gives a talk for the Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies. The rise in non-regular employment poses a major challenge to Japanese mainstream unions which have long limited organisation to regular employees as members of the firm community while non-regular workers were considered non- or quasi-members at best. However, several unions in retail, in particular those affiliated with the industry union UA Zensen, have successfully organised part-time workers to the extent that they now constitute the majority of members. The seminar discusses these initiatives by drawing on interviews with representatives of Rengo, UA Zensen and three affiliated enterprise unions at major supermarkets, and addresses the implications for both the position of part-time workers and the character of Japanese unions. It finds that unionisation has contributed to a stronger integration of these workers in the systems of industrial relations and human resource management. Important developments include their inclusion in collective bargaining during the annual shunto and union participation in the development of inclusive personnel systems which offer new career chances. However, the developments remain strongly shaped by the dualism in the labour market and unionization has hardly addressed the secondary position of non-regular workers. Moreover, it has not fundamentally changed but actually confirmed the character of Japanese unionism. These unions have extended membership to the firm community but maintain their firm-based and cooperative character. It confirms how they are strongly embedded in the labour market and wider society, and suggests that more substantial change would require a new perspective on the position of and equality between regular and non-regular employees.

Professor Elaine Ferneley, MBA Director at Manchester Business School, joined the show to share more about the Manchester MBA, located in Manchester, UK, and give us an inside look into the admissions process. Interesting things I learned about the Manchester MBA: - They don't call it "practice based" learning for nothing. Manchester MBAs are required to do 3 live consultancy projects -  requiring over 600 client facing hours - over the 18 month program. The first consulting project starts on Day 2!  Students are often working for companies 3.5 days during the week. This way all students get substantial experience working for big name companies before they graduate - and many end up with jobs at these organizations. - Manchester also has its own admissions test, which includes a psychometric evaluation of applicant's personality. Could this be a future trend in MBA admissions? - Elaine made it very clear that the adcom places a strong focus on interpersonal skills in the application - so be sure to prepare for the interview.  Manchester puts its students in front of companies on Day 2, so your soft skills have to be strong from the start. - The school has the top ranked accounting/finance group in the UK. - Manchester is the largest provider of transnational MBA education in the world, delivering its MBA program in the UK, Dubai, Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Miami and Sao Paolo. - The Manchester MBA in a Tweet: practice-based learning, a good life and good fun! Darren's take: if you want to get multiple and intensive real-world consulting experience during your Full-time MBA, you should consider the Manchester MBA. Listen on for the insider's scoop...
