Woah! What an April! More articles about continuous employee feedback were published in this one month than we’ve seen in any other month over the last half-decade. Amazon and Nike both made headlines, the former for a company-wide roll out of Connections , a daily Q&A feedback program that is being received with some employee skepticism.

Words are rudders. The most powerful words you say are the ones you say to yourself. The worst lies you tell are the ones you tell yourself. Self-deception blocks authentic leadership.

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.

Employee Engagement Myths. Unfortunately as the field of engagement grows, employee engagement myths also seem to be on the rise. Some reports would have you believe that 7 out of 8 American workers are disengaged. That’s a staggering statistic! But should we believe it? We don’t think so. Those numbers are exaggerated. Most of the workforce is not disengaged.

Perhaps the most prevalent frustration and concern I have heard from leaders and organizations recently centers around the frustration, costs, and yes, pain of employee turnover. The costs are high in time, stress, and a sense of loss (depending on who is leaving). And that doesn’t count the biggest costs in dollars spent and productivity […].

Last month I took part in the first Regional Scrum Gathering Canada , on March 26 & 27at the Hyatt Regency Toronto, where I presented the talk Why stop at your IT department? Or an Agile approach to Change Management. Business agility is more than the organization’s IT shop adopting an agile delivery method. Business agility depends on three core capabilities: rapid delivery, strategic sensing, and customer rapport.

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.

Good Managers Are Great Communicators. Managers, listen up…good managers are great communicators. A lot of what makes a good manager is the ability to communicate well. The best managers know how to really listen and how to communicate with both power and empathy. It’s not a matter of adhering to one method as in the cartoon above; but rather, good managers are great communicators because they communicate with clarity, relevance and purpose.

As organizations scale, keeping employees connected, engaged, and productive can seem like a monumental task. But what if AI could help you do all of this and more? AI has the power to help, but the key is implementing it in a way that enhances, rather than replaces, human connection. Join us for an exploration into how industry trailblazers are using AI to transform employee experience at scale while addressing both the potential and the pitfalls.
