Working the Future colleague experience

The ‘Great Resignation’ is one outcome of COVID-19 that few economists foresaw.

Skills shortages, a slowly shrinking workforce and widespread reevaluation of how we prioritise work in life have converged to fuel the most turbulent job market in decades.

Recruitment and retention are now cited as the primary threats to both organisational stability and growth.

Our report Navigating Talent Risk: The New Leadership Imperative (available to download below) blends qualitative research undertaken with a range of SME & mid-tier CEOS with distilled analysis of academic papers published since the pandemic. It explores what employers are doing to protect themselves against labour market complexities and focuses on key areas of activity to strengthen organisational culture across increasingly distributed teams.

What’s inside:

:: We’ve identified three common challenges facing today’s boardrooms - key areas of focus for any organisation looking to thrive in the tumultuous markets of the coming decade

:: We’ve unpicked why those challenges exist and what forward-thinking executives are doing to address them

:: We’ve set out the new leadership literacies required to meet the challenge posed by dynamic and disruptive commercial landscapes

HYBRID WORKING

CONTINUOUS WORKPLACE LEARNING

WELLBEING REVIEW

& REDESIGN

While most organisations now accept hybrid working is here to stay, the challenge is to fine-tune operating environments to breed agility and high-performance. There is no one-size-fits-all. We work clients to co-create solutions that meet the bespoke needs of all their stakeholders.

Few workplace wellbeing programmes address the underlying factors that give rise to work-related stress and anxiety. We run workships to help teams design their own solutions to improved wellbeing at work, strengthening organisational agility.

Markets are changing faster than traditional workplace learning teams can capture staff ‘training’ needs. Ambitious organisations need to rethink how we learn in the flow of work. We help co-create learning mindsets and behaviours, improving organisational agility.

TEAM DYNAMICS FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW

As market forces fuel ambiguity, traditional approaches to career development become defunct. We help organisations rethink career progression to offer developmental opportunities that drive engagement and performance.

As the labour market tightens and work becomes more on-demand, we’re witnessing the rise of boomerang workers – those who leave and rejoin organisations when business levels demand. We co-design offboarding strategies for smoother transitions.

Understanding and nurturing team dynamics is integral to high performance. We design and facilitate workshops, conversations and gatherings that enhance relationships at work for improved success outcomes.
