Despite efforts from learning professionals and organizations, the demand for high-impact leaders remains. But what exactly what defines a high-impact leader and what strategies can you implement to be or develop one?
Low productivity at work will eventually affect your organization’s bottom line. As a business leader, you might ask yourself how to manage your team’s productivity? Here’s how.
Flexibility has become the cornerstone for success in today’s rapidly changing world. But what exactly is flexibility? And why is it so important for leaders as we navigate COVID-19? Below is a look at the benefits of a flexible work environment and the single most important step you can take to achieve organizational flexibility in today’s rapidly changing world.
Measuring learning & development is among one of the top reasons why leaders struggle to get stakeholder buy-in. As a business or HR leader, an understanding of the Kirkpatrick Model model can help you understand, and measure, if your learning efforts are working.
Managing employee retention has been a long-standing concern for employers even pre-Covid-19. However, one thing’s for sure; employee retention has never been more critical than during these challenging times.
The future of work doesn’t have to choose between remote work and fully in office. Organizations should combine the benefits of both, and rethink how employees can better utilize in-office work spaces.
Reskilling can plug the gap being left behind by the digital transformation we’re in. Leaders must be nimble, agile, and willing to get the training it takes to implement new technology, while ensuring essential human soft skills remain a part of the process.
Like anything else in life, we have to work actively to create balance in our lives. As business leaders, it is even more imperative that you not only create balance for yourself, but for your employees too.
After over a year full of so much uncertainty, there’s one reality all company’s are facing: business as usual will not be a strategy for success.
