nDreams is a company that strives to create an inclusive and equitable culture for its entire workforce. We recently had the pleasure of speaking to Sarah Hammond and Jason Cunningham to ask them how OpenBlend supports and empowers neurodivergent employees and their managers at nDreams. Their stories confirm that effective 1:1 conversations are key to enabling neurodiverse talent. It is through these conversations that managers can empower people to achieve their potential in a way that works for them - and they represent the foundation for wellbeing, productivity, and performance. https://lnkd.in/eEC6m-Ek #peoplefirst #inclusivity #wellbeing #performance #employeeexperience

According to a recent study by Corndel in their 2024 Workplace Training Report, 41% of workers in the UK have left a job due to poor management. Employee development conversations are key to engaging and retaining talent. Carried out correctly, these conversations between an employee and their manager create both the bedrock of that employee’s development and its supporting structure. Our latest blog & worksheet offers practical advice for managers on how to prepare for and conduct these conversations to support employee growth, retention and performance. https://lnkd.in/e5GZGYvC #employeeexperience #performance #hr #development #retention

Join us live on Wednesday 19th at 11:30am BST 📣 The effectiveness of people managers is the single biggest challenge faced by organisations today. Over the past decade, various societal changes—such as the rise of employee branding, COVID-19, The Great Resignation, and the move to hybrid working—have highlighted the criticality of effective people management. Despite managers being pivotal in driving change and making an impact, how we equip them has not changed, resulting in an ever-growing skills gap. Join OpenBlend’s Anna Rasmussen, and Professor Nick Kemsley of Henley Business School as they discuss how organisations can start closing the skills gap and empowering their people leaders to drive retention, motivation, and performance. https://lnkd.in/dv4rqkGM #hr #peoplefirst #engagement #development #peopleleaders

Whether positive or developmental, we know feedback conversations are critical in improving employee performance and engagement. However, giving effective feedback can be one of the toughest tasks for many managers. It's a skill that develops with learning, guidance, and ultimately practice. One framework we recommend for facilitating feedback conversations is CEDAR™. Developed by Anna Wildman, CEDAR aims to engage, motivate, and establish effective communication channels for constructive feedback conversations. Check out our new managers guide for leading effective feedback conversations, and download our worksheet to try for yourself👇 https://lnkd.in/dWswprSu #feedback #conversation #performance #peoplefirst #engagement #CEDAR
