The Corporate Creative

On a scale of 1-10, how close is your company to getting it right for your employees? #workplacetransformation #employeewellnessprograms #retentionprogram #genz #organizationaltransformation #millenialworkforce

Companies that adapt are the ones that thrive. Listen to your employees' needs (i.e. ask about them, don't assume), then get creative with flexible work options, internal growth opportunities, and support for the things they love to do outside of work. No different then a stipend towards a gym membership. "The price of doing the same old thing is far higher than the price of change." Bill Clinton. And here's a bonus "Change before you have to."

Stay curious. Address issues early. Retain your talent. Picture this. A corporate creative feels unmotivated for months, stuck in a monotonous routine. Weekends are just for errands and recovery, leaving no room for passion projects. Despite showing up and meeting deadlines, his initiative fades, making a promotion unlikely. He wishes he could love his job, but he's hit a wall, unsure why. Maybe more savings or a break to grow his photography business would help, or perhaps he just needs to leave to find clarity. Now, consider the manager's view. For six months, a once-enthusiastic employee seems disengaged. You give him space and a lighter workload, hoping it’s temporary. A year later, he resigns suddenly, leaving HR scrambling and you frustrated. The takeaway? Whether employee or manager, nobody wins in this scenario. Stay curious. Address issues early. Retain your talent. #employeeengagement #employeesatsifaction #employeewellness #worklifebalance #retentionstratgies #HRconsulting #worklifeintegration #genzworkforce #millenialworkforce

Fortunately, Corporate Creatives know exactly what makes us come alive. It's songwriting, sculpture, music production, painting, photography, and more. Unfortunately, what makes us come alive is often completely separate of our professional expertise. Cheers to the 1st of many strides towards empowering those uniquely talented and multifaceted individuals to thrive in both professional and creative spaces AND combatting the narrative that we're contributing less in the workplace. . . . "Don't ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world need is people who come alive." -Howard Thurman #TheCorporateCreative #BridgetheCorporateCreativeGap #DiverseTalent #FridayInspiration #CreativeProfessionals #Corporat9to5 #Creative5to9 #CareerPlanning #GenZWorkforce #MillennialWorkforce #HRConsulting #WorkforceTransformation #InclusiveCompanyCulture

Bring your whole self to work. Motto or real company practice? One day while I was reflecting, I couldn’t recall ever sharing my external creative projects or song performances with colleagues during my 5-year corporate journey because thought creative me should stay totally separate of corporate of me. In hindsight, I realize I'd either adapted to an unspoken corporate culture or had subconsciously decided to protect this part of me to have some sort of safe haven? It could have been a mixture of both, but I think what matters more is what "bring your whole self to work" can look like in the future. For Corporate Creatives, there are so many possibilities including: -having a micro community at work to support one another's creative projects and help build creative portfolios -taking a short workweek during slow season to focus on generating supplemental creative revenue -hiring internal Corporate Creatives to perform at the annual Christmas gala, host relevant trainings, or cross-train in a more creative role within the firm, spending a few hours/week with the video production or marketing team -answering that no-longer dreaded question of "What did you do this weekend?' with "I just auditioned for a local musical and I'm really excited to hear back." instead of "Oh nothing, just got some rest, read a few books and caught up on some work." I’m proud to say I spend every moment theorizing about how best to connect with, utilize and empower the Corporate Creative segment of your employee base. Let's talk about it! -Founder, Barbara Dash #TheCorporateCreative #BridgetheCorporateCreativeGap #HRConsulting #LeadingwithPurpose #EmployeeResourceGroups #ThoughtLeadership #CultureTransformation #GenZWorkforce #MillennialWorkforce #EmployeeEngagement #EmployeeWellness

A 2022 #PWC survey of over 52,000 workers across 44 countries revealed that job fulfillment and the ability to be oneself ranked second and third among employees considering a job change. A little over a year now, how much do you think those desires have changed? TCC can find and connect with the segment of your employee base whose job fulfillment is directly impacted by their creative fulfillment outside of work. Likewise, their ability to be oneself is impacted by your company culture. Question- How does your company create a space where employees feel they can own and acknowledge their creative selves and at work, without fear of embarrassment or their artistry being treated as a menial hobby? #TheCorporateCreative #EmpoloyeeRetention #DiversityandInclusion #CreatityatWork #Leadership #TalentManagement #GlobalWorkforce #HRConsulting #WorkforceTransformation #WorkforceInsights #CompanyCulture #BridgetheCorporateCreativeGap

For two consecutive years as of 2023, PWC's Global Workforce Hopes and Fears Survey, reaching over 100,000 employees globally, has identified fulfillment and the ability to be oneself at work as the second and third most important factors in the workplace, at 69% and 66% of respondents respectively.
