Join us for a special episode in the podcast studio to get to know Filene Fellow for the Center of Excellence for the War for Talent, Sekou Bermiss! We start with a discussion on the work he’s doing as the lead researcher for the Center. Sekou explains the complexities behind how we know that people are a business’ most critical resource, but yet, finding, hiring and retaining top talent remains a critical obstacle for most organizations. In order to truly start at the start to address this issue, Sekou decided to spend the first couple of years focused on the attraction side of the equation. He sought to discover how credit unions can better attract top talent and has put a lot of thought and research into this issue for credit unions. Throughout the conversation, Sekou educates us on why attraction of top talent is such a big challenge, what might be the benefits of employee turnover, and how organizations should, and should not, be targeting the different generations. Then, we have a chance to learn how Sekou himself got into his field of study and into the labor market through his various jobs and roles. Lastly, we get to the rapid fire questions… If you find yourself nodding your head along the way, you’ll absolutely want to mark your calendar now to join Filene and Sekou in person at our Operations and Talent research event on June 16 and 17 in Denver. See filene.org/events for details. Now, hang tight for a wide-ranging conversation that Sekou designates as “perfect for the nerd in all of us…”

Do you discuss politics at work? How do you feel if political issues are discussed in the workplace? With limited research on how an organization’s focus on political ideology impacts employees, Dr. Sekou Bermiss, along with Dr. Rory McDonald, Associate Professor Business Administration at the Harvard Business School, explored what happens when an employee’s political ideology differs from the firm where they’re employed. What happens to conservatives in a liberal workplace, and what happens to liberals in a conservative workplace? A new organizational culture element to consider. Join the conversation with Dr. Sekou Bermiss as we explore his findings in “Ideological Misfit?  Political Affiliation and Employee Departure in the Private-Equity Industry” and discuss the insights gained.
