I’ve been asked by a few organizations if I can work with them beyond just doing a keynote talk or a workshop. These things are great and fun to do but what about those organizations that want more? This is why I’m introducing a new
When you wake up in the morning, are you filled with excitement about the prospect of a new day at work, or do you dread the thought of having to make it through yet another day of drudgery? If you’re like much of the population, you fall into the latter category and distain going to work. Surveys have found that only 13% of people around the world actually like going to work–an astoundingly low number. […]
What can be expected when two huge retailers join forces? That’s the question on a lot of people’s minds and one of the reasons our community wanted to discuss Amazon’s recent purchase of Whole Foods. This move is a game-changer in how we shop and get our food, and effects could easily spread to a number of different areas. [..]
This week, our discussion turned to something that affects all of us: our reliance on technology. One of our community members suggested the topic, so it’s clearly something that is on our minds and something that we’re dealing with every day. […]
I’ve spent the past few years working on exploring and studying employee experience. I put everything I found into a new book called The Employee Experience Advantage where I analyzed 252 companies around the world to create The Employee Experience Index. Here’s why employee experience matters… […]
The workforce plays a huge role in the economy as a whole and in each individual company. After all, most businesses invest more time and money in their employees than they do in anything else. The workforce is changing and will continue to transform as we move towards the future of work, meaning that having a strong understanding of the workforce is incredibly important. Tara Sinclair, Associate Professor of Economics and International Affairs at The George Washington University and Senior Fellow at indeed.com, is an expert on the workforce and the economy. Here are four of her myths about the modern workforce and what we can expect in the future. […]
This week’s discussion was all about the gig economy, which is something that affects a lot of community members directly, either as freelancers themselves or people who work for organizations that use contractors. There’s a lot of names for this type of work—freelancer, gig worker, temp worker, contractor, 1099 employee, the list goes on and on. No matter what you call them, they are becoming more vital in the economy. […]
My team and I just put out a new white-paper exploring, How Artificial Intelligence Will Change the Way You Work. It’s a great primer and overview on one of the biggest trends we are seeing today. It’s pretty hard to go anywhere today and not
I’m always looking for new ways and mediums to explore The Future of Work and Employee Experience. Originally I would just write articles and tweet things online, then I started doing a podcast where I interview senior executives each week, shortly after I did images with quotes, and then not too long ago I launched a video series called The Future in 5. Originally, this started out as a casual Q&A type of discussion where I would ask and answer a question around the future of work. These videos were usually 3-5 mins in length and explored everything from open offices to technology. I did this format for a while but then I got inspired by channels like Shots of Awe and Prince EA which feature beautifully edited videos with great background music, something which I now use in all my videos.[…]
It used to be that as new technology was introduced, its high costs kept many people away. The world’s first commercial portable cell phone cost nearly $4,000, for example, making it nearly impossible for most people to purchase it. Today, basic cell phones can be purchased for as little as $20, and they have more features than that original phone; smartphones can be as cheap as $100. […]
