Elliot Lollis’ Post

It is time to celebrate my first year at FREENOW for Business! 🎉 It is also time to take a step back. In French, we say 'l'heure du bilan'. 🎢 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬: You will never be prepared enough for changes, so when they happen, you need to embrace them. This is not easy. It may hurt. But don't keep up; look ahead. It works! 🦸♀️🦸♂️𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞: your team, your peers, your manager, and your colleagues are the ones who make you grow. I am so grateful to work surrounded by such talented people. ✨ 💜 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲, 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐬, 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞, and 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 are my core ways of working to build and lead a successful team. 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 is the 'new' one as I strongly believe in its power and its huge impact on everyone day-to- day work.  💻 🌍 𝐌𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞. For people who said that 'IRL' is important, they are right. For people who say remote work gives you flexibility to organise and be more efficient, they are right too.

Meeting you in Hamburg earlier in the year was one of my most cherished moments. And maybe because it is not our daily routine, it made time spent together even more precious 🌟 Thank you Dorian, Omar, Berkay, Daria, Carlos, Maybritt, Francesco, Kieran, but also Emily, Rafał, Giulia, Nodira, Damir and the 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐁𝟐𝐁 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦, who make my first year such an always-on learning journey!

I was doing a 5-hour workweek before I even read the 4-hour workweek by Tim Ferris. Except instead of sipping on Pina Colada's and laying by the beach I was "pretending" to be busy for the extra 35 hours at a desk. Talk about a hit to the bottom line. Paying people to be bored. It was my form of torture. If this sounds like you or your team it is time to go Fractional marketing team by hiring us at Avalaunch Media.

🚪 Joining vs. Exiting a Company: A Journey from Excitement to Reflection 🚪 It’s always fascinating how different the energy is between starting a new job and wrapping up your time at one. When you join, you’re welcomed with open arms, excitement, and endless onboarding materials. But when you leave? Well, it’s more like a quick handshake, a badge return, and a survey that may or may not ever be read. 😅 🗝️ Key Moments: - Joining: “Welcome to the team! Here’s your onboarding schedule, a company-branded water bottle, and 100 emails to catch up on.” 🎉 - Exiting: “We’re sorry to see you go. Please return all company property and take 15 minutes to fill out this exit survey.” 📋 - Onboarding: Learning everything, meeting everyone, and attending countless orientation sessions. 🤝 - Offboarding: Handover meetings, signing forms, and maybe a brief farewell email. 📝 - The Beginning: Full of hope, possibility, and fresh goals! 🚀 - The End: Reflecting on lessons learned, growth, and the next chapter. 🌱 It’s a cycle we all experience, yet it feels different every time. How has your journey between joining and exiting shaped your career? #CareerJourney #OnboardingAndOffboarding #ProfessionalGrowth #WorkplaceExperience #HRInsights #EmployeeExperience #CorporateCulture #NewBeginnings #ReflectAndGrow

DaveKlinkConsulting.com I’ve learned so much from the experienced people I’ve work with over the past 40 years. I picked up a saying from someone years ago that I like to use…”What have you learned on summer vacation” (meaning, what have your experiences taught you). Many people I’ve worked with have called these sayings “Klinkisms”. Last week, I announced the fact I’ve been doing consulting helping companies grow and be effective with their resources. Over the next few weeks, I will be posting the top 3 or 4 items companies should focus on ensuring success/dramatic improvement (I.e., what I’ve learned on summer vacation). Next week, I will be talking about the need for an organization to a) have a mission and vision and then (equally important) b). actually living them daily. So many companies give lip service to this part of business but don’t live it and aren’t committed to their own mission because at times it’s inconvenient. Stay tuned…

Hello, hello! I’m back up in our Talent Team rotation to share reflections, learning and guidance from our work this summer. One big theme from our clients this season has been increasing retention, and our advice is always the same: talk about retention early and often! Utilizing natural transition points, like after a long break or vacation, to revisit your previous conversation is an easy way to make sure you’re keeping your finger on the pulse. If you’re anything like us here at WorkTogether, you’re recently back (or almost back, you lucky ducks) from a summer shut down. Or, maybe you and your team are gearing up to bring everyone back for the upcoming school year. Now is a perfect time to reopen conversations around retention, professional goals, and what folks are most looking forward to. See below for some kick off questions, and let the quality conversation flow! How are you feeling about this upcoming season/school year/quarter? What are you most looking forward to? In our last conversation, we talked about your personal goal of {insert personal goal here.} Is that still something you have energy around? What is the first thing you’d like to do to get this started? Is there anything creating anxiety or hesitation that we can talk about? Are there any recommendations or thoughts you have for us for the organization as well? We love this question because we learn so much about ways to improve the organization at the enterprise level! Questions like these help employees see themselves as part of the broader ecosystem, rather than just an individual contributor. We work closely with our clients on retention strategies, building out retention collateral, and improving the overall culture around stay conversations. We’d love to chat more! #talenttip #retention #professionalgrowth #stayconversations

The key to a happy working week is not asking "What can they do for me?!" but instead ask yourself "What can I do for them?!" my Candidates and my clients and my colleagues, ask yourself... How can I improve their week for them? In doing this you will be adding value to your clients and your candidates... Spending a few minutes reassuring a nervous candidate speaking to a company who don't need staff today but sharing your knowledge of the market. Build Relationships people it will pay dividends in the long term!

Did the dot-com bubble burst also kill a thriving American work culture?    Nearly a quarter century ago, we joked and called ourselves "poor interns" at Y!. Most of us interns walked, then took a bus, a Caltrain, and then finally an office shuttle to get to work usually by 8.30 or 9 am. Yet, we were excited to go to work each day, with fancy coffees that were free, by the way. Tuesday bagels were nice, fun events added spice, and rides home from friends made us feel great all the way. Meetings in the sunshine, on the lawn with pets, managers as friends, committed to our success! We had an international crew, and together, there was so much to do...lunches and dinners, nightclubs and victories, through heartbreaks and love, we all grew. But this now seems so long ago, we are still friends, but agree that great culture is no more! Today's work is marked by anxiety and strain, managers are busy managing up, with little care for what happens to their flock. Do they even know how to spot the pain? Another ladder they seek to climb, leaving a trail of dismay behind.  To revive that great workplace anew, leaders must again inspire their crew! Reward all who strive, and make integrity thrive. Set realistic targets, collaborate, and truly commit to a place of work that does not always frustrate. Then perhaps we will see, success ensue for everyone including you and me!
