Talent Tantrums

People-ing with Purpose

In this episode, we’re breaking down the state of the workforce today. Companies learned the hard way throughout the Pandemic how valuable their people are and want to know how to keep them happy and get them to stay at the company.

Worker dissatisfaction is at an all-time high – so what’s going on?

In this episode, we explore:

• How it’s not just in your head – Gallup’s polls tell us how people are feeling
• Mid-level managers are the group of workers feeling the most stress, making it tough for companies to motivate people
• How company leaders can put themselves in their employees' shoes to test whether their complaints or strategies are reasonable
• Employees want to see their company trying and will feel better and more motivated to do their work
• The ways to set and navigate company social media policies – especially if your employees use it for networking or as part of their jobs
• What’s a reasonable attendance policy? There are many legitimate reasons for people to be out, and being fairly flexible can make a big difference
• How to get ahead of salary negotiations and why being proactive shows employees you’re looking out for them and what you can do to help them feel supported if wage increases are off the table
• Implementing fair flexibility plans to give people control of their lives while being equitable to your other employees
• The specific rules surrounding pregnancy protections under federal law that companies have to be on the lookout for
