Most project managers focus on planning and execution. But large projects rarely go in a straight line, and often that planning doesn’t take into account key assumptions, and the execution goes far in the wrong direction before the need for changes are recognized.

Rather than imposing a uniform corporate mission, businesses should foster environments where both personal and organizational purposes harmoniously coexist. To advance this congruence, organizations should: 1) Facilitate “purpose discovery” during recruitment and onboarding. 2) Promote “purpose sharing” to enhance collaboration and find mutual goals. 3) Encourage

Successful and harmonious organizations operate from a clear set of rules known as a code of conduct. The employee code of conduct is a clear framework that highlights what behaviors are expected from employees in specific situations and the measures that will be taken if they fail to behave accordingly. This can sound daunting, but it’s actually a great way to give employees clear directions that protect everyone, including employees, customers, and even communities at large.

If you’re relying on superficial approaches to diversity, you might find yourself scrambling to catch up.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
