In my last post , I wrote about how the Future of Work is NoW ( N ow o f W ork) and it’s time to move away from this notion of some future state of work. If you’re taking your time preparing for this future, you are already left behind. I hypothesized that the connected generation, technology and the sharing economy have inspired forward thinking companies to fundamentally change the way they attract, engage and retain their top talent.

I heard a speaker recently mention Type I and Type II failures. The way they described it was, a Type I failure is an irreversible failure and a Type II failure is reversible. One might say that Kodak is a case study in Type I failure. A recent article in Harvard Business Review summed up the story pretty well.

You’re excited about the possibilities it has for your company’s growth. Your employees? Not so much. For some reason, not everyone shares your unbridled enthusiasm.

As a franchisor, your franchise business can only be successful when individual franchisees are meeting – and exceeding – their goals. The center of any franchise business success story is the people – employees – who make it happen.

I’m not going to lie to you: rebooting your performance management to effectively drive organizational performance, develop people, and reward equitably requires a good deal of serious thought. Managing performance at a global level, however, warrants serious thought on steroids.

I’ve been hearing a lot of organizations talk about the scavenger hunt lately. Personally, I like scavenger hunts because they can educate while having fun. And with a vast majority of employees having cellphones, you can easily create digital scavenger hunts. Scavenger hunts are a great option for orientation and onboarding. Instead of showing new hires a bunch of internet pages in a classroom, let them do the searching.

Ready or not, we are now in what we call the age of ‘the people’. Fueled by consumers and their ability to promote or criticise a product or service, the rise in social platforms has created the rise of the “louder voice” and customers now hold some degree of power over organisations. This means they gain priority over other stakeholders, after all, performance and targets are attained by keeping these customers happy.
