The thought is echoed by Arie de Geus, who says, "A company's success no longer depends primarily on its ability to raise investment capital. Success depends on the ability of its people to learn together and produce new ideas."

As technology shapes our world, here are questions to keep top-of-mind:

➡️ Is your talent strategy competitive and focused on the future?

➡️ Do you need to cultivate new skill sets to foster communication, creativity, and innovation?

➡️ Do you want to build an agile team who makes an impact?
Talk to our team! Our recruiters find the most capable, progressive talent in the industry. We source credible interviews that result in a hire.

Telling someone they make a difference is good, but explaining WHY and HOW they make a difference is even better!

When everyone on a team knows they're part of the strategy, there's more ownership of success. Individual contributions add up and make a big impact.

Share your advice in the comments. How do you make a big deal about individual contributors and shared outcomes? ➡️

Whether you're in the midst of a job search, or prepping for the week ahead, here's an important question:

Are you notoriously hard on yourself?

If so, listen up:

Scientists have proven that your brain is being shaped, molded and changed by your daily experiences. It's called neural plasticity, and it's a breakthrough which has significantly altered our understanding of how to change habits, increase happiness, and improve health. The research indicates we can literally transform our own minds. Scientists say it takes 66 days to rewire your brain and form new habits, behaviors, and thought patterns.

Be kind to your mind this week!

Connect with the talent that you’re seeking in the places where they naturally hang out. 73% of millennials found their last job on a social network. And the average Gen Z member maintains seven social media profiles (and over the coming years, they will contribute 61 million employees to the workforce.)

Posting job ads on your company’s page is just the beginning. Social platforms allow you to actively curate and engage with individual content creators who have highly specialized skills sets they are passionate about, and you can connect with their audience. It’s a way to find people who are naturally interested in the career opportunities that you’re offering.

Gratitude at work is more than etiquette and good manners. And it's a well-being strategy that's worth breaking down.

Let's begin with the catch:
To see business outcomes, gratitiude has to be embedded in the culture so that it's a genuine dynamic on teams.

Here's why it's worth the effort:
Ultimately, gratitude in the workplace results in better moods, deeper connections, more productivity, and a happier workforce. So it's a powerful element that leads to career longevity AND organizational success.

In remembrance of September 11, we honor those who responded, all who we lost, and their loved ones. , ,

Forming and maintaining strong relationships has always been a key competency for business leaders.

In many cases, it's about the insight we gain. Successful professionals know there’s a benefit in connecting with others (even those they’re not necessarily fond of).

Bonding with all types of people exposes us to many different perspectives. The diversity makes it easier to identify common ground, alleviate stress, resolve conflict, and improve employee relations across an organization.

Relationships take effort; they are as different and unique as individual people. There's not an official recipe to follow. But here's a base recipe, with three CRUCIAL ingredients:

➡️ TRUST - There's a mutual belief that each person is authentic, dependable, and honest.

➡️ RECIPROCITY- There's a balance in energy invested and received between two people.

➡️ RESPECT- There's mutual appreciation between two people who value each other.

Just like any relationship, it's normal to experience ups and downs at work. If you're feeling worn out, it might be worth the effort to have an authentic conversation with your manager. Maybe it's time for a vacation; a promotion; or better communication with your team.

If you recognize any of the signs on this list, grab a journal or notepad, and track how often you feel bored, burnt-out, isolated, or pessimistic. If it's a daily occurrence or a long-term pattern, it's time to get on a more fulfilling path. Download our free guide, "When, Why + How to Make A Career Change" to navigate the process.

It's 4 PM, and it's summer on Long Island. Chances are you're almost ready to have dinner, maybe a barbecue with your family.

Do all employees value flexibility?

In a recent study from Owl Labs, flexibility is clearly the top workplace trend for employees, so they broke it down for us by generation. (Thanks, Owl!)

According to their report, flexibility is proving to be the leading way to recruit, retain, and invite diverse talent into the workplace. When companies listen to their employees and build human-centered policies, they’re more likely to succeed in terms of productivity and employee happiness.

Work has changed forever. And the resulting culture shift is happening now — and faster than ever. Burnout, quiet quitting, proximity bias, and productivity paranoia are trending across major media outlets, and are the focus of industry research.

How do employees currently feel, and where might executives be misaligned?

Are you looking for ways to attract top talent at your Company?

Your culture is a key differentiator. Think of culture as an influential part of any job offer that you make—the same way you think of the compensation and benefits that you offer.

What makes your company a great place to work? When a candidate feels that the work environment, values, vision, philosophies and ethics are in alignment with their own, it may be the deciding factor that convinces them to join your team.
