Remote work offers significant flexibility for employees, allowing them to create a more customized work environment that suits their individual needs. This flexibility can lead to increased productivity as employees are able to work during their most productive hours and in a setting where they feel most comfortable and focused. However, remote work also comes with its challenges, such as potential feelings of isolation, difficulty in maintaining work-life balance, and the need for effective communication and collaboration tools. Overall, remote work can have a positive impact on employees when implemented thoughtfully, but it requires careful consideration of both its benefits and challenges. #remotework #iworkremote

Thoughts on this? The first thing, I always let my on-site team know, is that I will never bother them after hours. Unless it’s an absolute emergency or a quick need-to-know. There is not a single report that is more important than time with your family. There is not a single leasing question that is more important than you spending time with your spouse or children at the end of the day. There is not a single operational question or concern that is more important than you being allowed to unwind at the end of your day. Our job as a #propertymanager is HARD AF. 10 times out of 10, we don’t really discuss ‘how our day was’ because some of it was so taxing, we need to not even discuss it ever again. Leave your teams alone. Let them recharge. Encourage time off. They’ll stay longer if THAT kind of system is in place. #propertymanagement #multifamily #nowleasing #utah #leadership

As people managers, we often feel the need to micromanage our employees' time off, but does it matter why they're taking time off? One of my work associates recently asked for time off, and when I approved it without asking for the reason, he was surprised. But the truth is, we hired our team to do a job, and we trust that they'll do it, regardless of their personal lives. We don't need to know if they're leaving early for a doctor's appointment or taking a day off for a personal matter. We're all humans, and we should trust our employees to manage their own time and work in the way that suits them best. So let's stop infantilizing the workplace and start trusting our colleagues. Happy employees make for a happy workplace! #TrustYourTeam #WorkLifeBalance #HappyEmployees

There are multiple reasons why Americans are like this. Some of us have a deep sense of pride in our job and always want things to run smoothly. We may care about our clients and ensuring they are always well-served. We may also care deeply about our colleagues and employees and not want to burden them with extra work in our absence. Finally, we may be this way for fear of falling short of the high expectations of our employers and the resulting repercussions. It’s important to develop a strategy for covering manager and staff vacations that focuses on both preparation and execution so that everyone can be on the same page and avoid feelings of anxiety or that they are being unfairly or unreasonably burdened. It’s also very important to work for an organization that values work-life balance and doesn’t make staff feel guilty for using their hard-earned PTO.

Naturally, there are a lot of people returning to work this week and LinkedIn is flooded with the Hi I'm back let's connect - I'm guilty as charged 🙋♂️ Returning to work after annual leave can sometimes be challenging, as you transition from a relaxed mindset back into a more structured work environment. So I thought I'd put out a few tips, that I have used to set me up for 2024, in case it can help you make a smooth and successful return: 🤠 Ease Back In 🤠 - Avoid scheduling too many meetings or committing to heavy workloads on your first day back. - Allow yourself some time to catch up on emails, messages, and any updates. - Use short breaks to stretch, walk around, and gradually reacquaint yourself with the work routine. Sydney CBD is beautiful to walk around ☀ ✅ Prioritisation ✅ - Assess your to-do list and prioritise tasks based on their urgency and impact. - Tackle the most critical tasks to ensure you're promptly addressing high-priority items. - Communicate with your team & manager to get updates on any changes or new developments that occurred during your absence. This will help you understand the current state of projects and align your efforts accordingly. 🌟 Set yourself achievable short-term goals 🌟 - Give yourself something to go at, that's realistic, rewarding and re-ignites why you do what you do, but also for your personal life. 👨👩👦 Personal - have a long weekend getaway with my son and partner. 👨💼 Professional - Place 5 contractors in by February Remember, the key to a successful return to work is a combination of thoughtful planning, gradual reintegration into your work routine, and prioritisation of both work-life priorities. Work also needs to be fun and rewarding, coming back all guns blazing WILL lead to burnout, and no one wants that 😊 Any other suggestions are welcome, as this will hopefully help people returning to work, and starting new roles this year.

Re-entry after leave is a critical moment in the employee experience. Pro-tip: Create a buddy system to have someone meet an employee returning from leave at the office entrance so they have someone to walk into the office with. Can do this remotely by joining a meeting early with the returning employee so there is a built in support system for your teammate. Little things can go a long way.

I sat in on a roundtable discussion recently about how to recruit/retain great employees - I was dumbfounded at some of the things I heard.   ➡ An agency owner shocked that a top Account Manager was disgruntled about their $40k a year salary after 20 years with the company and wanted more remote days. (Ummmm….. 😳)   ➡ Agency leaders telling me they think it’s important to have people in the office at least 4 days a week for “camaraderie”.   ➡ Talking about how their teams love to play ice breaker games, family feud, etc.  (Do they, really? 🤔 )   Listen, people do not need your games to have great relationships with each other and be successful at their jobs. They just want fair pay and the freedom/flexibility to juggle home and work life - that's all.   In certain industries (like insurance!) where the bulk of the work is done behind a desk and largely by phone and email, there’s no reason people have to be face to face 5 days a week to be successful.   I live in Pennsylvania. One of my best clients is in Tennessee. We’ve worked together for 18 months now. We’ve never met. Come to think of it, our first ever TEAMS call is this Friday! 😂 We talk pretty much everyday. I function like an extension of their team. I know their likes, dislikes, their culture, their vision for the company - both short and long term. One day we’ll meet in person - because we want to, not because we’d need to.   Our industry and today’s technology lends itself well to these kinds of relationships. Can we please stop fighting it?   I’m already seeing those companies who are embracing flexibility start to pull away from the pack…   Just wait, it’s coming! (I need that Facebook Memories feature here to pull up this post in my feed 5 years from now. 😂😂 ) #remotework #technology #insurance #insurancecareer #futureofourindustry #dontbeleftbehind #cpcu #cic #insurancerecruiter #recruiterlife #insurancejobs #culture #teambuilding #positiveworkplace #employeeappreciation
