How does it actually work? In the world of career transitions, experience often takes a backseat to convenience. But what happens when companies fail to recognize the value of seasoned talent❓ Meet Sarah, a diligent professional standing at the crossroads of her career. Despite her wealth of industry wisdom, her potential new employer offered a mere lateral compensation when she disclosed her need for change due to personal reasons. But here's the kicker: How does it actually work? Should companies ignore how much someone knows just because they're going through something personal? The answer lies in a fundamental truth: Fairness breeds loyalty. Companies that value and compensate their employees fairly, regardless of their tenure or personal situation, cultivate a culture of respect and trust. They attract top talent and inspire unwavering commitment. Lesson learned? As we navigate talent retention or acquisition challenges, let's remember: fair compensation isn't just about market trends; it's about valuing the contributions of every team member, regardless of their personal situation!

“Core values are generic.” 💁♀️ “Core values are just for show.” 🎭 “Core values don’t really matter day-to-day.” 🗓️ Let me tell you something. ⤵️ When I look at any company, whether it’s to work there, to partner with, or to support as a customer, core values are number 1 on my list. ☝️ When I interviewed for my current position at CareerPlug, our first core value alone spoke volumes. “Be kind.” ❤️ I have worked in some environments where not everyone was kind. I have seen, firsthand, the impact that can have on employee morale, on day-to-day operations, on the customer experience… Kindness is more than a buzzword. And yes, it seems obvious… basic, even. “Of course companies want their people to be kind!” But how are companies encouraging their people do so? 💬 How are they fostering environments that don’t settle for anything less? 🙅🏼♀️ How are they spreading kindness and giving back to the world around them? 🌍 Core values are not just something employees “follow”. They are mindsets. 🧠 They are characteristics. ✨ They are hopes and dreams for what the workplace could and should be. 🫶🏻 Core values drive US, so that we can drive CHANGE. #CoreValues #WorkCulture #Franchising #Operations #HR

Is Gen Z missing out on key career growth opportunities? While this generation has thrived in virtual and hybrid work environments, there’s more to professional development than online learning. The shift away from in-person work has reduced the chance for informal, face-to-face interactions where young professionals can learn from experienced peers and ask questions in real-time. In Employee Benefit News, HireClix CEO Neil Costa discusses the importance of creating opportunities for Gen Z to connect with mentors and colleagues in person. These interactions are essential for understanding workplace dynamics and developing leadership skills.

Last week we kicked off our Super Charge September series with the first session on Engaging a Gen-Z Workforce with Pollen Careers founder Sophie O'Brien. She emphasised that it's not just about accommodating Gen Z’s needs, but also about an effort to achieve tangible business goals. Some key takeaways from the sessions were: ⚡The rise of Gen Z in the workforce is not just a demographic shift but a cultural one. ⚡Rather than aligning salaries with age, align them with responsibilities. This ensures that those at entry level positions are being incentivised.   ⚡45% of Gen Z wants to work for a company that makes a positive difference for the world and 65% want to personally create something that changes the world.  ⚡As result of this, it is vital to reassure that they are not just cogs in a machine- they are part of something bigger.  ⚡Gen Z favours results- not just time spent at the desk. We have our next Super Charge September session on Keys to Self-Awareness with Alyssa Jaffer tomorrow! She’ll delve into the importance of self-awareness in the workplace, and how building these skills can impact on your ability to influence, lead, and get results from your team.

While hiring new talent often takes the spotlight, let’s not forget the importance of retaining the exceptional talent you already have. Bringing in new team members is crucial, but so is ensuring your current stars remain engaged, motivated, and valued. Here’s how top companies succeed at this: — Ongoing career development discussions — Offering competitive compensation — Providing flexibility — Fostering meaningful work It’s vital to attract great talent, but just as important to keep them.

Becoming an employer of choice for all six generations takes a strategy and strategic workforce planning.
