Let's be honest—most onboarding experiences are forgettable at best and overwhelming at worst. Yet for many organizations, the way they welcome new employees hasn't kept up. Traditional onboarding often feels like a box to check—an administrative marathon of paperwork, policies, and PowerPoints. But in a world where people are craving connection, clarity, and belonging, that approach simply doesn't work anymore.As discussed in a recent DEI After 5 episode, embracing change—especially when it comes to how we onboard—can be a powerful catalyst for growth, both for individuals and organizations.Why Onboarding Needs to ChangeWe know that employees decide whether they'll stay with an organization within their first few months—and for Generation Z, that decision happens even faster. According to recent data, 20% of Gen Z employees quit because of poor onboarding, and 8% leave within the first 90 days if the experience doesn't meet expectations. That's not just a retention problem—it's a culture problem.Gen Z and younger millennials are entering the workforce with a clear set of values. They want to understand what a company stands for from day one. In fact, 62% of women and 42% of men in Gen Z expect to learn about their organization's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies during onboarding. This isn't just a “nice-to-have” feature—it's foundational to how they decide whether they belong.When onboarding fails to answer those deeper questions—Do I fit here? Is this a place where I can grow? Will my voice matter?—employees start to disengage before they've even begun.From Administrative to TransformationalEffective onboarding is no longer about checklists—it's about connection. It's an invitation to embrace change, to build trust, and to set the tone for psychological safety from day one.Organizations that get this right are moving from “orientation sessions” to onboarding experiences—interactive, personalized, and grounded in the company's values and culture. Instead of overwhelming new hires with information, they're creating space for exploration and engagement.In the podcast, we explored how today's employees are wired for interactivity. They grew up in digital spaces that reward curiosity and participation. Sitting through hours of dense slides? That's a fast track to disengagement. In fact, 75% of Gen Z admits to skipping or fast-forwarding through boring onboarding content.Modern onboarding should mirror how people learn and connect today:* Short, engaging videos that bring your culture and values to life.* Interactive learning tools that reinforce understanding instead of memorization.* Opportunities for dialogue, where new hires can safely ask questions without fear of judgment.* Stories and experiences that show—not just tell—how your organization lives its values.Psychological Safety Starts on Day OneA powerful theme from the podcast was the link between effective onboarding and psychological safety. When employees feel comfortable asking questions, sharing feedback, or admitting what they don't know, they're more likely to succeed—and stay.But when onboarding is rigid or transactional, it sends an early signal: “We care more about compliance than connection.” And that's where disengagement begins.By reframing onboarding as the first act of culture-building, organizations can demonstrate trust and transparency immediately. That first impression becomes the foundation for engagement, innovation, and long-term commitment.Embracing Change for GrowthEmbracing change—whether in how we work, lead, or onboard—requires adaptability and courage. It's about stepping outside of what's comfortable to build something that actually resonates.The most successful organizations are those that view onboarding not as a one-time event, but as an evolving process of integration and growth. They understand that people don't just need information—they need belonging.When leaders create space for new hires to feel seen, supported, and empowered, they set the stage for resilience, innovation, and shared success. Change, after all, is only disruptive when we resist it. When we lean into it, it becomes the very thing that helps us grow.If you want to learn more about how to create a culture of care, foster psychological safety, and design workplaces where people thrive from day one, subscribe to our YouTube channelSacha Thompson, founder of The Equity Equation, boasts 20+ years of experience spanning education, non-profit, and tech sectors.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1180: Fresh off a global adventure, Paul and Kyle return with stories from Kazakhstan, a look at why destination fees are climbing faster than car prices, and how Rivian and GM are tightening up their EV operations as the market cools.Destination fees — the unavoidable “shipping” charges tacked onto every new vehicle — are climbing faster than sticker prices. Once a minor line item, these fees have ballooned across brands, marking the steepest industrywide increase in at least a decade as automakers quietly offset rising costs and tariffs.Average destination fees jumped 8.5% for 2025 models, the biggest one-year spike in 10 years, according to Edmunds.Fees have risen 27% since 2021, now averaging $1,549, up from $1,220 just four years ago.Some models saw even sharper hikes — Porsche up 48%, Ford up 39%, Stellantis up 35%.Analysts point to inflation, heavier vehicles, and new tariffs as key cost drivers.“It's another place where they can increase the price without increasing the price,” said Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions.As the EV market cools and cost pressures rise, both Rivian and GM are trimming teams to stay efficient. Rivian's cutting hundreds after the loss of key EV tax credits, while GM is reducing salaried positions tied to design and development as part of a broader restructuring.Rivian is laying off 4.5% of its workforce — about 600 employees — as it consolidates operations in sales, service, and marketing.CEO RJ Scaringe said the move reflects a “changing operating backdrop” as demand softens following the expiration of the $7,500 EV credit.Rivian will continue investing in its next-gen R2 platform to reach a broader market beyond its luxury R1 lineup.GM confirmed more than 200 white-collar job cuts in Detroit, mostly in its design engineering and CAD teams.The automaker is also managing $1.6 billion in EV-related write-downs and tariff costs as it shifts strategy to protect margins amid a slower adoption curve.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:25 More Than Cars just got back from Kazakhstan7:42 Destination Fees Skyrocket On 2025 Models10:33 Rivian Lays Off 600, GM Cuts 200Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

An early essay by Karl Marx writing at the beginning of the industrial revolution argued that humans who were formerly craftspeople were now just cogs in the industrial machine alienated from the products they made and their work.   Today's podcast is sponsored by Inductive Automation, makers of Ignition — the world's most versatile industrial automation platform for connecting data, systems, and people.

When you hire someone, you are getting more than a pair of hands—you are getting a brain and experience, as well. You should make use of them.   Articles about a worker shortage due to Boomer retirements have been a staple of trade magazine editorial ever since I became an editor in 1998. Some twenty-seven years later, those articles and news releases keep coming.   I learned about a new product from Derek Crager, Founder & CEO of Practical AI for onboarding and mentoring new employees. There is irony here, in that Crager touts himself as developer of an award-winning training program at Amazon—yes, the place that thinks it can replace its workers with robots. But, we will go beyond that thought for now.   His solution? Just-in-time guidance—the right step at the exact moment of need, while hands are on the task. When a technician can ask and do in the same breath, training becomes throughput. That's the difference between teaching a concept and multiplying your best expert across every line and shift.   He called on his experience at Amazon to develop something called Pocket Mentor: A Phone Call to Your Best Expert. This is a hands-free, eyes-free mentor your team reaches by phone, anytime, on the floor or in the field. No app. No Wi-Fi. No passwords. Just tap & say, “Talk me through it” — and we will.   Check out TheManufacturingConnection.com for more thoughts.

This episode is for founders stuck building features nobody asked for—who want to discover what customers actually need.Joshua Summers, CEO of EnFi, took a different path. After helping dozens of startups move their cash during the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, he discovered the real problem wasn't deposits or covenants—it was human capacity to assess risk. While others rushed to capitalize on the crisis, he spent months investigating what actually broke.And this inspired me to invite Joshua to my podcast. We explore how building from crisis reveals opportunities others miss. Joshua shares hard-earned wisdom about why founder-led sales beats hiring early, what happens when you achieve greater-than-human accuracy, and why building a culture where employees jump at the chance to work with you again matters more than your product. You'll discover why taking more capital early can save your company—even if it means more dilution.We also zoom in on two of the 10 traits that define remarkable software companies:Remarkable software companies focus on the essenceRemarkable software companies create something valuable and desirableJoshua's story is proof that the best insights come when you're not trying to sell anything.Here's one of Joshua's quotes that captures his approach to building companies:“Culture itself is an organism. It lives, it breathes, and it is impacted positively or negatively by every single thing around it. You can't design a culture. You can't say here's what our company will feel like, not look like, but feel like as an employee, it's impossible, but you can feed a culture with all the good things that hopefully help it to evolve like an organism."By listening to this episode, you'll learn:Why building in the open beats perfectionismHow 14 people can operate like a company of 150When discovering the essence changes everythingWhat makes employees want to work with you (again)For more information about the guest from this week: Guest: Joshua Summers, CEO of EnFi Website: www.enfi.ai

Economists in the U.S. are sounding the alarm on what they call a “she-cession” – a term started during the COVID-19 pandemic to describe the steep decline in the number of women in the workforce. Since then, that decrease has continued with more women leaving the workforce than entering it. In St. Louis, Rung for Women trains women in professions with greater chances of upward mobility. Chief Program Officer Katie Gallen and former cohort participant Sarah May share how the holistic approach to career training helps employees, employers and the city's economy.

Al Lagunas is the co-founder of Levee, an AI-driven vision-and-voice platform that converts room inspections into verified data and automated workflows. A first-generation Mexican American from Chicago, Al's people-first lens was shaped by his mom's hotel housekeeping career. Susan and Al talk about pitching, personalization, and productivity. What You'll Learn About: • How physical and digital products sell differently • Lessons from scaling a startup  • The people-first lens Al brings from his family's housekeeping roots • "Time to Value" as the overlooked metric in hotel ops • How Levee's one-button vision and voice AI verifies room setup • Real-time feedback that gets new housekeepers to three-month performance by their fourth room • Closing the personalization fulfillment gap • The near-future mix of human teams plus AI agents and robotics Our Top Three Takeaways 1. Time to Value Is More Important Than “Training Time” Al reframed the industry's labor challenge: the real problem isn't a shortage of workers, but how quickly hotels can turn new hires into valuable contributors. Instead of focusing on a 10–20 day training period, operators should measure “time to value”—how fast a team member begins producing quality work. Using Levy's AI-assisted inspections, new housekeepers reached the performance level of 3–6 month veterans after cleaning just four rooms, which radically reduces onboarding friction. 2. Personalization Requires Operational Fulfillment, Not Just Data Guest personalization has long been a “white whale” in hospitality, but Al emphasized that data alone isn't enough. Knowing a guest's coffee preference or pillow type doesn't matter unless the front-line team can reliably act on it. Levy addresses this by making room setup checklists dynamic and verifiable, turning guest data into consistent fulfillment. This shifts personalization from an abstract idea to a repeatable process embedded in daily operations. 3. The Workforce of the Future Will Be People + AI Agents Al predicts that hotel back-of-house teams will evolve into a hybrid workforce of humans, AI agents, and robotics. Instead of viewing AI as a replacement, he sees it as an extension of labor—helping staff complete inspections, surface data, and automate tasks. This diversification enables leaner, more efficient teams while also opening the door for new types of roles and responsibilities as hospitality operations modernize.

Una Hopkins, DNP, MSN, FNP-BC, NE-BC, RN, FACCC, president of the Association of Cancer Care Centers (ACCC) designated her theme for the 2025-2026 year as Designing Oncology Care to Meet the Needs of a Growing Patient Population in response to forecasts predicting both patient and survivor populations will grow in coming years. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Dr. Hopkins about the importance of peer-to-peer mentorship in workforce development and empowerment, particularly for nurses, and why retired nurses are well-equipped to provide this mentorship. Later in the episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Josephine Lisowski, RN, BSN, OCN, PRN nurse at Advocate Health, who came out of retirement to fill a new role reducing burnout and increasing retention of oncology nurses. Throughout her career, Lisowski identified that a strong culture rooted in quality, patient safety, and excellence in nursing must be nurtured to avoid burnout. Upon retirement, she felt a pull to return towards mentoring and supporting younger oncology nurses to improve retention and job satisfaction. Lisowski will discuss how using a retired nurse for this mentorship role at Advocate Health lifted the burden on the main work force and combined generational strengths to enable nurses to provide the best care possible to patients.     “We have to create spaces that are more psychologically safe for both our patients and our providers. I think that once we do that, we will see burnout change” - Dr. Hopkins “When you bring a retired nurse back again, it's meeting them where they are. They still want to share that knowledge that they have.” - Dr. Hopkins There's so much new innovation coming every day. But peer-to-peer, we can knock things between each other... It educates me and it educates them.” - Lisowski “I'm trying to encourage hospital management to keep the older nurses on at some point and not just have a whole new crew... In oncology, experience counts.” - Lisowski   Una Hopkins, DNP, MSN, FNP-BC, NE-BC, RN, FACCC President, Association of Cancer Care Centers Director for Research and Evidence-Based Practice Montefiore Medical Center Bronx, New York Josephine Lisowski, RN, BSN, OCN PRN Nurse Advocate Health Park Ridge, Illinois Resources: Healthcare Burnout: An Epidemic Among Oncology Nurses Burnout Prevention & Education   Mentoring Those New to Oncology   Onboarding Experienced Non-Oncology Nurses to Address Staffing Shortages   A Perfect Fit: Mentoring Experienced RNs to Meet Oncology Clinic Demand   This podcast is part of a special series featuring ACCC members committed to the 2025-2026 ACCC President's Theme: Designing Oncology Care to Meet the Needs of a Growing Patient Population.
