#WorkTrends Recap: Reprogram the Employee Experience

/ /by

Culture is not just an HR “thing”, it is a business thing. Culture is the collective mindset and attitude of your staff​,​ ​so ​it impacts​ customer service, retention, and profits. Brands can impact the collective attitude or culture by improving the employee experience​,​ which is based around key considerations such as Values, Selection, Orientation, Recognition, Communication​,​ and Leadership.

This week on #WorkTrends host Meghan M. Biro was joined by special guest Shane Green. They discussed culture, customer experience and the impact both have on the employee experience.

Here are a few key points Shane shared:

  • The way your employees act defines your brand online
  • A leader must spend time to build culture where people feel a connection by showing care
  • The greatest enemy to tomorrow’s success is your past success
  • Great tip: Looking at behavioral skills rather than experience when hiring

#WorkTrends Recap: Employee Engagement

/ /by

Employee Engagement. This is a workplace topic that is steady and strong, but why do so many brands fail at this all important relationship?

Research has shown time and time again, the myriad benefits of employee engagement to both employers and employees. According to the Wharton School of Business, they found that brands are three and a half times more profitable when employees are engaged versus brands with average engagement levels.

This week on #WorkTrends host Meghan M. Biro and her special guest Kevin Sheridan discussed the topic of employee engagement and the pros of having better engagement and cons of neglecting it.

Here are a few key points Kevin shared:

  • The three keys to employee engagement are: Outline expectations, be authentic, get to know the people you work with
  • Managers need to make people feel valued at work
  • It’s essential to be clear on the team culture and values with candidates or misalignment will surface later
  • Simple way to create employee engagement in the workplace, start asking people: “What’s your passion outside of work?”

#WorkTrends Recap: Science of Uncovering Dishonesty at Work

/ /by

People lie. It’s an ugly fact of life. Lying in the workplace can be detrimental to morale among other things. Often times people lie in ways that make it difficult for others to recognize. We get a “gut” feeling, but that is just that… a feeling and not evidence.

This week on #WorkTrends host Meghan M. Biro was joined by Phillip Maltin, attorney-at-law and developer of The READ System, to discuss the intricacies of lying in the workplace and how to actually use science to identify who is lying.

In this fascinating conversation, Phillip shed some light on a few common misconceptions about detecting lies and  Here are a few key points that Phillip shared with the community:

  • Forming good questions is a good skill to use when attempting to detect lying.
  • Nervous behavior is not just a window into a dishonesty. It’s also a window into honesty. You have to ask the right questions
  • The “D” in R.E.A.D. is doubt. Doubt your conclusions until you’re satisfied as to what someone is saying.

#WorkTrends Recap: Brand Culture at the Intersection of HR and Strategy

/ /by

Imagine your consumer brand and employer brand as concentric circles. In the very center you’ll find an overlap of similar traits. So why do companies struggle to understand how the two are actually critical to both your consumers and employees and impact both on the same level.

On this week’s #WorkTrends show, host Meghan M. Biro was joined by Larry Oakner and Rebecca Longman of Tenet Partners. They discussed the intricacies of company branding, human resources, and employee engagement.

Larry and Rebecca shared what it takes to make your organization a magnet for keeping employees and attracting desired talent.

Here are a few key points that Larry and Rebecca shared:

  • HR leaders should be more involved with their staff more frequently. A constant conversation should happen
  • Humanity is key, not just numbers
  • More companies need to understand the impact employees have on the bottom line
