As many of you are aware, Wisconsin is grappling with significant workforce shortages, and our talent pools continue to shrink. This challenge impacts not only our businesses but also the communities we serve. One effective solution is investing in continuing education for our employees. By equipping them with new skills, we empower them to take ownership of their work and foster a sense of autonomy. This investment doesn’t just benefit employees—it breeds innovation and productivity, driving our organizations forward. Employers who prioritize continuing education see tangible returns: improved employee engagement, reduced turnover, and a stronger, more skilled workforce. It’s a win-win! I’m excited to invite you to the Gain & Retain: Empowering the Workforce of the Future event on Friday, October 18, 2024, at UW-Green Bay. Let’s explore how we can support our workforce and ensure a brighter future for all. Together, we can tackle these challenges head-on!

Celebrating Labor Day: Honoring the Work and Workers Behind Every Success As we celebrate Labor Day, I’m reminded of the immense value that each person brings to the table. Whether you’re on the front lines or behind the scenes, your contributions are the foundation of success. Today, let’s recognize and appreciate the dedication, hard work, and resilience of all workers. In my journey as a professional coach, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals who pour their passion into their roles every day. From veterans transitioning into new careers to parents navigating the complexities of supporting special needs children, the common thread is a deep commitment to making a difference. Labor Day is not just about rest; it’s about reflection. It’s an opportunity to acknowledge how far we’ve come and to inspire each other to keep striving towards our goals. To everyone I’ve coached, and to those who inspire me with their perseverance, thank you for your hard work. Let’s continue to lift each other up, celebrate our wins, and prepare for the challenges ahead. Here’s to the dedication, the drive, and the endless possibilities that come from working together. Happy Labor Day! #LaborDay #ProfessionalCoaching #Resilience #Teamwork #VeteransSupport #SpecialNeedsParenting #LeadershipDevelopment

🌟 I love history but I’m not a Labor Day expert, so I asked my AI friend to share some interesting facts about Labor Day ( I added number 8 because all lists should have even numbers). I definitely learned something new! … watch out for Big Hot Dog out there y’all! Labor Day Facts: 1. **The Backward Parade:** The first Labor Day parade in 1882 was so tiny they had to walk backward to make it look longer. It’s like the 19th-century version of stretching your résumé. 2. **Hot Dog Havoc:** Americans somehow manage to consume over 7 billion hot dogs between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Coincidence? Or is Big Hot Dog behind it all? You decide. 3. **Not Just in the U.S.:** Canada celebrated Labor Day a decade before us. They’re just politely ahead of the game—again. 4. **White Pants, No Thanks:** The “no white after Labor Day” rule? Just bougie 19th-century elites showing off their understated wealth with a subtle seasonal wardrobe change. It’s like their version of today’s trend of quietly flexing with $500 plain white T-shirts. 5. **The Last Hurrah:** Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer and the official start of endless traffic jams. Because nothing says “relaxation” like being stuck in a car with everyone else. 6. **Labor Day and Unions:** The holiday started with unions fighting for things like fair pay and reasonable hours. So yes, your day off was a victory—go enjoy it by doing nothing. 7. **Labor Day Sales:** Labor Day is now the warm-up for Black Friday. Why wait until November to buy that thing you didn’t even know you needed? 8. More than 1/4 of the workforce works Labor Day weekend. Make sure you appreciate anyone out there serving you those hot dogs or sales or putting you back together after you do something dangerous or dumb with your free time. While this has a playful tone, Labor Day is more than just a long weekend, a lot of people gave their lives and made sacrifices and the built the first steps for the protection of future generations to find their way into better physical and mental health, time for family — we don’t need to rest on continuing the progress that was made and keep moving the needle to make workplaces better. #LaborDay #HolidayHistory #WorkLifeBalance

We're proud of the work we're doing here - BUT, there's a lot more to be done. Benchmarking and connecting is paramount - it's the purpose of these awards. -Milspouses are still underutilized, underemployed and often challenged to find a reasonable career option. -Guard/Reserve are still underutilized, un-connected in some cases, and better benefits/practices are often hard to push. -Skillbridge and similar programs are often being improperly employed, causing multiple transitions for service members. - Finally, many organizations don't realize the massive bottom line impacts of having a successful, well-oiled program. It's more than "nice to have". It's great for business and people. Congratulations to all of the companies who've been recognized by the VETS Indexes awards that were recently released. Cushman & Wakefield has ranked 5 Star for the 2nd consecutive year. We're only able to do this with the hard work of so many alongside us. But there's more to be done.
