Jason Lauritsen on Employee Performance: What you've experienced is a production style of management that was born out of the Industrial Revolution in an era where we were taking people off the farm, putting them in factories to basically do jobs that were better suited for machines, but we didn't have the technology to build those machines yet. So we had to get people to behave like those machines. We're still stuck where we think of people and treat people like machines to be optimized, to be tweaked. The problem is, that doesn't work for human performance. Managers aren't managing machines. They are managing these growing, developing, imperfect human beings who have needs and are facing obstacles and really want to be successful. And if they're not, then that means there's something going on that you need to solve for them or help them with. And when you get that shift made, things start to change. Highlights: [2:03] Can annual reviews actually be harmful to an employer? [6:27] Unintended consequences of tying annual reviews to compensation [7:16] Annual review horror stories [9:04] Changing your employee performance appraisal process [16:15] Putting managers in a better position to help employees learn and grow [21:52] Beginning of the year conversations [25:38] Deficit conversations [34:17] Feedback strategies to help employees succeed [41:35] “The perfect end-of-year conversation” and merit/bonus conversations [49:09] How much of an effect does hybrid work have on company culture?

Joe served in the Marine Corps and spent 6 years working in management and business development for technology and communication companies. He then worked for a grassroots non-profit organization, where he became actively involved in diversity and inclusion work.

What you’ll learn about in this episode: How Joe came to work in diversity, equity and inclusion through working in the nonprofit sector What factors Joe believes have contributed to our slowed progress in diversity, equity, and inclusion, and why leaders often see confuse this work with compliance issues Why Joe isn’t a fan of best practices since organizations and their needs vary so greatly from each other Why organizations often forget that inclusion is separate from diversity and often don’t understand why inclusion matters What major challenges organizations are facing today, and why the global pandemic is having a major impact on diversity and inclusion Why our society is more polarized than ever, and why organizations must work for clarity on the behavioral component of the issue Why diversity, equity, and inclusion within organizations isn’t inherently partisan or political and why organizations must set a standard of expected behaviors What Joe hopes we will be doing differently in this work ten years from now, and why organizations who are doing the work now are laying the foundation for a strong future What advice Joe would offer to new practitioners in this space, and why getting clear on why the work is important to you matters Why you should define and work toward the unique contribution you can make within the realm of diversity, equity and inclusion Additional resources: Website: www.joegerstandt.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/joegerstandt/ Twitter: @joegerstandt

In this week’s episode of Fresh Tracks I speak with Jason Lauritsen about Social Gravity and the Natural Laws of Relationships. We start by discussing the role intentionality plays in relationships and how that is different than manipulation. There is great power in setting an intention when building new relationships and Jason shares with us how to set intentions and give us examples of good intentions vs bad intentions. Jason shares his number one way to build strong relationships as well as the number one mistake people make when meeting others that sabotages their ability to connect in an authentic way. The truth is that relationships develop one person at a time and taking the time to choose your relationships one by one, rather than accelerating it in a mass setting, is a key to achieving your goals in business and in life. Finally Jason discusses the concept of social capital, which is the value that we have access to in our lives because of the relationships we have with others.

In the second episode of Sacred Conversations On Work host Carol Ross speaks with Jason Lauritsen. Jason is a former human resources executive turned his passion for understanding people into a innovative career as an employee engagement and workplace culture expert. After climbing to the top of the corporate world, Jason realized that people want more from their jobs and that a job isn’t “just where you go during the day.” Jason explains how in fact work is another type of personal relationship. He explains how if employees aren’t receiving what they need emotionally from their workplace then it creates a dysfunctional and unproductive relationship. Listen as Jason dissects the concept of employee fit as a function of values alignment, the importance of a thoughtfully articulated company culture, and the importance of cultivating a meaningful relationship between the employees and the firm.
