TalenT hunT: how companies can geT compeTiTive on besT hires

The best hires of today are Gen Z. The best hires of tomorrow will be the next generation of young people who are now still in school but who will a decade later graduate and mature into the world of work that's now being created. Who knows what the difference between them and Gen Z will be? Hence, it is spot on that different generations must co-exist in the workplace. Competing to have these young people in our organisations is really about being open enough to look beyond today's norms and ideas, and bringing the old and new together to co-create value.

Uncertain 2022? A well-defined strategy can help

The real problem with strategy comes when it is created too far in advance and then treated as though set in stone. No matter how good and how well designed, a strategy that is inflexible will inevitably lead the organisation to a sorry ending. It does not matter whether the strategy is directional. Going in the wrong direction is still going in the wrong direction! We ought to value flexibility and agility, and be ready to tear up the playbook and start over should circumstances demand it.

Emotional intelligence: Why business leaders must have it in the postpandemic world

To lead an organisation to flourish, leaders today need the human touch in many aspects of the workplace. The pandemic brought to the forefront the importance of empathy, and even now that the world is returning to normal, empathy and the understanding of emotionality remain critical parts of leadership.

Revisit your purpose and supporting values to create a great EVP

A very good point that supervisors and the culture at team level must support values and purpose in order for EVP to really be felt and experienced. This calls for education and implementation not just of individual contributors but most importantly of managers.

Creating the EVP pillars for the new era of work

Most notable that these pillars are all progressive movements, that have become additionally prominent in recent years. This is a reminder that employees are part of the broader community, and so are companies, which need to conduct themselves as such.

Employee priorities have changed: so are talent strategies

A fantastic point around EVPs being directed toward employees today. Instead of coming up with initiatives and then telling employees 'here, you may like this', the order is reversed: it is about asking employees 'what do you like?' and then creating the initiatives around the answer.

Elon Musk vs Twitter

Watching this whole matter play out, it is no better than a type of bullying, using great wealth, a loud voice and a well known public image to place pressure and create chaos with no justification. What does anyone gain from this? He has dragged it out for so long that nothing of his intentions seem sincere any longer.
