The right step to take? 🤷‍♀️ What are your thoughts? 📣 #DEI #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #HumanResources

As HR professionals we’re so busy supporting others and being part of establishing and enabling business priorities. We rarely take time to reflect on how our role impacts us on a personal level. Resilience is definitely a must . We never feel sorry for ourselves when we have to support organizational restructuring and having difficult conversations. We just keep going and worry about the impact on “our people”. How thrilling is it to be able to support the needs of 4 unique generations at one time. Navigating a workplace that is inclusive to the needs of these generations and attracting and retaining them. Share your insights would love to hear your experience?

Companies that win consistently in the marketplace need top performers who don’t just get the work done, but live the organization’s values and invest heavily in developing others. Excited to share a robust and very timely conversation I had with Daniel Huerta and Stephen Huerta from The Modern People Leader podcast. We discussed Northwestern Mutual’s talent strategy, our views on people leadership, our prioritization of “skills” and “outcomes,” and the intentional ways we seek to accelerate change in the workplace to drive maximum results for our five million clients.

Jaime Bowers, SHRM-CP, right on Target! Culture Add > Culture Fit Culture fit has been a popular term for years, but it's time to shift our focus towards culture add. Hiring managers and recruiters should aim to add diverse perspectives to their organizations, instead of just like-minded individuals. According to The Washington Post, a diverse workforce can lead to increased innovation and better decision making. Let's prioritize culture add and embrace diversity in our organizations. Check out the article for more insights. #CultureAdd #DiversityandInclusion #Innovation #DecisionMaking

#shrm24 has come to a close and I’m thankful for the lessons learned, connections made, and time spent with passionate people! What I walked away with: “Let your yes mean yes and your no mean no”🫶🏼 Honor your commitments—even if there is something else you would rather be doing (like attend a WNBA game instead)🤓 AI is here and HR must lead this charge or be left behind🔮 Org Design is powerful when done well and communicated thoughtfully🙌🏼 Sound Baths are cool😎 HR wellbeing is critical to ensure a healthy culture—check on your HR friends🤕 Book your hotel early or you may end up in an interesting Airbnb🫣 Vendors who value relationships first and are thoughtful about your time are key to strong partnerships🗝️ I already knew this but watching my team learn and grow was a gift and reminder of the amazing people I get to work with🥰 #leadership #hr #development

Current discussions about DEIA as an organizational imperative continue to rage. Please do not let your organization put this concept on the back burner. DEIA is a BUSINESS IMPERATIVE (not a nice-to-have). If you need analytics to support your business case - https://lnkd.in/gK56iFN6 Remember, you won't have to look for diversity; it will find you, AND diversity involves everyone! If you don't manage it correctly, YOU WILL RUN OUT OF PEOPLE (IMHO).

Check out these good reminders about 1/1 sessions. Managers should lead them … cancelling them should be the exception. These meetings can build even stronger relationships, they should have purpose and evolve based on needs. #communicate #collaborate #build #lead
