Top Down – Bottom Up Burnout Solutions

/in
View the Recording

When it comes to burnout: overwork, micromanagement, and a lack of clear company values and praise systems are factors that need to be shifted, top-down. Leaders in our current social environment cannot be expected to have the tools necessary to guide their teams well. The upheaval wreaked havoc in their lives too. Take care of the leaders so the leaders can take care of their teams. From the employee perspective, boundaries have shifted massively as the world moved through the office, remote, and hybrid structures. It became the norm to feed children while on zoom calls and check e-mails while making breakfast. In this new world, empowering employees with clear, kind, and concise boundaries will help them to self-care and take some pressure off the leadership to make all the changes. Top-Down and Bottom-Up, the best changes happen together.

The Employee Value Proposition: Development and Evolution Alongside New Values and Priorities

/in
View the Recording

An Employee Value Proposition (EVP) is an employee-centric approach that helps employers articulate all they offer. Your EVP demonstrates your organization’s commitment to meeting employees’ needs and desires in exchange for their day-to-day efforts.

An effective EVP is the company’s promotional tool for discovering, developing, and delivering their brand promise. A great EVP resides within the hearts and minds of your workforce and community. It helps to attract, engage, and retain talent, differentiates the organization, generates appeal across employee groups, and creates a line of sight to the culture.

In a post-COVID world, companies need to rethink how-and-where work gets done. What your workforce values and prioritizes has also changed, and your EVP needs to evolve alongside.

This presentation lays the groundwork and provides steps and tools to develop an effective EVP and recognizes and incorporates the shift in cultural attitudes and values around work that this pandemic brought about.
