In recent years, employers and business leaders around the world have been trying to predict the diversity and inclusion trends that will impact their work cultures the most. The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, a global lockdown, major events, protests, and conversations surrounding racism, systemic inequalities, and injustices, a new normal of remote working, an economic recession: there was a lot that the world had to grapple with.

Performance reviews aren’t simply a time to discuss performance. It’s a valuable development conversation that can uncover an employee’s unique strengths, align them with the company’s mission, and empower continuous development. But that’s no simple feat. A successful performance review cycle includes HR leaders working in lock-step with managers to gain accurate insight on team performance, but to do that, managers must be given a structure for having these conversations–especially

To truly thrive in today’s environment, companies must offer people more than just a job, they must help employees find their calling.

These days there’s a lot of discussion around what work will look like in a post-pandemic world. Most of that conversation tends to focus on whether employees will return to the office, continue to work remotely, or opt for a hybrid mix of the two. But in this latest installment of my Leadership Espresso Shot series on my leadership podcast, “Leadership Biz Cafe”, I make the case that what this past year has revealed is not just the necessity of flexibility in how we approach work, but the criti

2024 has tested every organization, and 2025 promises no less - the warning signs are everywhere. If you’re relying on superficial approaches to diversity, you might find yourself scrambling to catch up. Thought diversity - the fuel for new ideas, fresh perspectives, and disruptive innovation - is more than a buzzword. It's a survival strategy. And if you’re not building it into your workplace culture right now , you’re heading for trouble.

Regina Martins, kicks off the first of a 2 part series on "collaboration". She believes collaboration isn't just a learned skill, instead it requires an intimate knowledge of our own defensive behaviours. By being self-aware we can recognise when our behaviour is creating blockers to forming collaborative relationships. She will be tapping into 50 of these defensive behaviours in her webinar later this month.

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.
