In this episode, Vivian Blade talks with guest Garry Ridge, chairman emeritus of WD-40 Company and founder of The Learning Moment, about the importance of company culture in today's workplace. They discuss the impact of culture on employee engagement and retention, the essential role of purpose and values, and the ongoing evolution of work in the wake of future workplace trends. They also address the critical need for human connection in the age of technology and the importance of focusing on people alongside business strategy. Join Vivian and Gary for an engaging and insightful conversation about building better leaders and better workplaces. 3 key takeaways from our conversation: 1. **Purpose and Values**: Clearly defined purpose and values are vital in creating a positive work environment. Employees want to be part of something bigger than themselves. 2. **Culture Ownership**: Culture is not just the responsibility of HR; it's everyone's responsibility. Each individual in the organization either contributes positively or negatively to the culture.  3. **The Human Connection**: In the wake of the future of work, one of the most concerning trends is isolation. Even with technological advancements, the need for human connection remains imperative for engagement and productivity.  Connect with Garry Ridge: Website: https://thelearningmoment.net LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garryridge/   Virtual Fireside Chat with Garry Ridge, Wednesday, April 24, 12:00 p.m. ET.

Don't miss out on valuable takeaways such as these:  1. Today's talent game is changing faster than ever, and the old rulebook just won't cut it. If you want to thrive in the workforce of the future, you'd better start rethinking how you attract, retain, and support your people. 2. Talent management isn't just about managing talent anymore. It's about creating an environment where both the organization and its people can truly thrive. It's about fulfilling the promise of benefiting each other in meaningful ways. 3. Organizations need to prepare for honest conversations with their employees. People want to be recognized as individuals with their own work and life aspirations, not just another row in the spreadsheet. 4. The future of work is all about acknowledging people as, well, people. It's about treating them with respect, recognizing their goals, and keeping their aspirations in mind when setting organizational objectives. 5. If leaders aren't ready to have these candid chats with their teams, they're in for a bumpy ride. Employees want transparency, timely feedback, and a real sense of respect. Leaders need to be prepared for some straight talk.

After listening in on the eye-opening conversation between GGG Unleashed host Vivian Blade and her guest Annetta Hunter, you'll hear about strategies to revolutionize employee well-being in the workplace, uncover the truth behind employer responsibility, the shared role in well-being, and the must-know tips for boosting employee mental resilience.  Here are 4 of the many key takeaways about employee well-being, workplace resilience, and the impact on organizations.  1. It's not just about having wellness services in your benefits package; employers also need to actively prioritize and support employee well-being to drive a resilient and productive workforce. 2. Many employees don't fully utilize existing well-being resources due to barriers like time constraints, confusion, and stigma, signaling the need to make wellness programs more accessible and engaging. 3. Addressing mental well-being issues in the workplace is essential to prevent the domino effect of stress-related absenteeism, workload escalations, and decreased employee engagement. 4. The impact of employee well-being on organizational success goes beyond just productivity and engagement, emphasizing the need for employers to view it as a valuable investment rather than just another budget item. Annetta Hunter is CEO, founder, and Chief Wellness Officer of WellNow Connect.  

In this episode Better Leaders, Better Workplaces, host Vivian Blade is joined by Michael Davis, a principal with Mindshare Partners, to dig into the seemingly contradictory state of workplace mental health and the strategies to address it. If you're a business or HR leader seeking to create a better workplace, this episode is a must-listen. Get ready to learn how to elevate employee well-being, increase productivity, and foster a supportive work culture. Here are 3 key takeaways: 1. Shift from an individual-centric approach to a collective responsibility: Organizations that prioritize employee mental health understand that it's not about providing benefits and expecting individuals to solely manage their well-being. It's about fostering a culture where mental health is a shared priority, and the entire ecosystem supports employee well-being. 2. Mental health is a culture strategy, not just a benefit strategy: Initiatives focused on mental health shouldn't be confined to offering benefits and resources. True impact comes from embedding mental health considerations into the fabric of an organization's culture. It should be approached as a strategic imperative requiring investment, measurement, governance, and involvement of all stakeholders. 3. Focus on creating a culture of safety and support: According to Mindshare Partners' 2023 Mental Health at Work Report, employees value a work environment that fosters a culture of safety and support more than benefits or therapy. To elevate employee well-being, organizations need to measure employee experiences, upskill their workforce, and implement a holistic mental health strategy.
