The Future Of Work Show, Episode 10: Inside SAP

/

Join me as I go inside the offices of one of the world’s leading technology companies, SAP to see what they think about the future of work. SAP is an organization that is truly thinking about and investing in the future of work with their office designs, focus on attracting millennials, culture of learning and education, diversity programs, and their integration of technology in how work gets done. I tour several of their office buildings, speak with employees, and also interview their Chief Learning Officer (Jenny Dearborn) to get various perspectives on how SAP sees the workplace changing and what they are doing to adapt and prepare. This is a fun and informative episode that you won’t want to miss! […]

Change Doesn’t Have to Start At The Top, But It Helps!

/

This is a very special Future in Five coming to you from Santiago, Chile, where I just finished speaking to 800 top HR leaders in Latin America. While visiting Santiago I was struck by the number of stray dogs everywhere. I learned that at one point the local government wanted to step in put these dogs to sleep. The people of Santiago were mortified, and there was an outcry against harming these animals. When a stray dog was found, the citizens of Santiago would step in to claim it as their own. The government, in turn, could not kill put a dog to sleep that belonged to someone. Today the stray dogs in Santiago are viewed as dogs that belong to the people. They are fed, looked after and during bad weather the locals give the dogs jackets to keep them warm and dry. I have not seen locals in any city thus far treat stray dogs with so much love and kindness. While taking pictures of a museum I saw a lady actually lay down on the floor next to a stray dog to give it a hug!
What is fascinating about this story, is that change didn’t start from the top, it started from ordinary people who wanted to see things done as they believed was right.

Your Company Is Not Perfect, And That’s Okay

Today’s Future in Five comes to you from Orlando, where I delivered a keynote on the Future of Work and creating employee experiences to a group of around 1,000 business professionals. Let’s pretend that every one of the seats at this keynote venue represents one employee in the same company. Each one of these 1,000 people will have different interests, priorities, and ideas. How can an organization create great employee experiences that will speak to each employee?[…]

The Future Of Work Show, Episode 2: Inside Glassdoor

/

In episode 2 of The Future of Work Show, I go inside the offices of Glassdoor, which is a site and community dedicated to career transparency. They have the famous “best place to work” list and visitors to the site can see all sorts of fascinating information about almost any company including average salaries, if employees like the CEO, what the corporate culture is like, and much more. I figured if Glassdoor is offering all of this information about other companies then surely they must be a best place to work, too, right? […]

The Future Of Work Is About Flexibility, Autonomy, And Customization

/

Everyone wants to know how the workplace is changing and how we will actually get work done in the next few years. Work is a big part of our lives, in fact it’s the biggest part of our lives! Although this topic can be quite daunting I like to use the acronym FAC to describe what I believe to be three big shifts that we are starting to see in the workplace. […]
