  • Are you navigating the complex RTO landscape and seeking to optimise your workplace for happier and more productive employees?

    In today's solo episode of the Happier at Work podcast, I delve into the ongoing RTO (Return to Office) debate, exploring what it means for leaders and their teams. I provide valuable insights into weighing the pros and cons of returning to the office vs. embracing remote or hybrid models. With my experience in professional services, I encourage leaders to tailor your approaches based on unique organisational cultures and employee preferences, rather than imitating others. Highlighting significant aspects like autonomy, workplace culture, and talent attraction, this episode offers a strategic roadmap for leaders dedicated to fostering a positive and inclusive work environment.

    The main points include:

    Understanding the benefits and challenges of RTO, including collaboration and workplace culture.Evaluating productivity in remote vs. office settings.The importance of aligning employee needs with organisational culture.Exploring personal preferences and career impacts when choosing work models.Leadership strategies for listening to and addressing employee preferences.

  • In the latest solo episode of the Happier at Work podcast, I talk about the 3 C’s, a highly requested topic by you for a long time. 

    In this episode, I introduce my 3 C's of Thriving Talent framework, designed to foster more engagement, higher retention, greater happiness, and overall success within organisations. 

    I discuss each of the 3 C’s in turn, focusing on the very essence of each in their own right, and how they are interdependent on each other. A positive culture and strong career development can't thrive without the right capabilities. Similarly, having the skills and tools without a supportive culture or clear career path doesn't lead to thriving talent.

    The main points throughout this podcast include:

    The foundation of an organisation: Culture.The importance of personal responsibility in managing your career.The value in equipping employees with the right skills and tools to strive.Emphasis on investing in continuous learning, mentoring and professional growth opportunities.

    Curious about where you or your organisation stands? I've developed an assessment to identify which areas require focus to create an environment of thriving talent. Click the link below to take the assessment.
