#Gig #work on #digitalplatforms vs #manufacturing. I think this #commercial is obviously a little biased and there are obviously manufacturing jobs that suck, while some gig #workers do actually enjoy what they do. But wow, this point is powerfully made. https://lnkd.in/geHhAg6n #meaningofwork

Would you like to know what I consider the highlight of my L&D routine? It's the #OnboardingExcellence process and its preparations before a new team member joins.❤️ What drives me in L&D is the opportunity to be truly useful - being there for new hires, seeing their nervousness on day one, and witnessing their growing confidence as they settle in 🌱. I cherish being part of this journey and take immense pride in the effort DEFEND INSURANCE GROUP puts into it. Understanding the investment of time, energy, and resources for new hires, ensuring they never feel neglected or compelled to leave. That's why we've developed a comprehensive pre-boarding and onboarding process, meticulously planning every step and providing continuous support throughout 🚀. We've crafted newsletters and videos to express our excitement in welcoming them and to offer support during their initial 30-60-90 days, as well as throughout their entire employment journey. Success in this endeavor hinges on excellent collaboration among HR, marketing, and line managers.#TeamCollaboration Together, we're crafting a journey for our #NewColleagueJourney and I couldn't be more thrilled to be part of it. ❤️ #HRMarketingPartnership #TogetherWeSucceed#DEFENDteam

Bella Lien United Way of Cass-Clay The Working Genius "Did you know there are six different types of 'work' that exist across three phases of 'work'? Some of them will frustrate you instantaneously, some you will be fine with for a bit, and some will provide you infinite happiness and satisfaction. This impacts near every aspect of our work! Hiring, department/team structure, team meetings, productivity, conflict, teamwork, and leadership. They are all impacted by what we find fulfilling and what we find frustrating. By applying the working genius, individuals and teams can become aware of where they all stand with the work they do. If we can be aware of our working genius as well as our working frustrations, we can better perform together, not just more effectively, but more happily." 😃 Date: Thursday, April 25 Time: 8:30-10 a.m. Location: United Way of Cass-Clay - 4351 23rd Avenue S., Fargo, ND 58104 Register here to attend! https://lnkd.in/gzqEidjy

Couple of calls on Friday and this morning regarding the "100 day" pledge in Labour's manifesto around employment law changes. The General election is right around the corner and whatever the outcome is, we know that there will be significant changes for employment law that will impact your business - all of the main parties have pledged to make huge changes to your employees’ rights and protections. Regardless of the outcome this Friday morning, our advice to SMEs is: ✔️ Stay on top of your employment processes, particularly contracts and policies (and make sure they are audited once a year) 💬 Ensure that you have trained everyone that manages people how to manage performance/probation reviews in line with your policy. A good and documented framework for people practices will set you up for success. Want to know where you stand?

At Oliver Wight we work with a range of different organizations and are commonly asked the same question: "How can I stop my boss doing my job instead of their own!?" In this article with Business In The News, Dawn Howarth shares her advice: https://lnkd.in/evHbqjbb

As the article reads, there are people and companies who negatively take advantage of tools or vehicles like noncompetes. However, I am not in favor of this ban. The confidence for companies to invest in training was guarded by the noncompetes. Banning them allows other companies without the structure and resources to train, to simply poach employees from those that do. Like the socialist grading experiment in a classroom setting, those training programs meant to grow a company will cease to exist due to the lack of company growth from the training effort. The costs are no longer justified. This article presents the opportunity for better compensation to incentivize employees to remain. I believe the training is the foundation of opportunity, but should not represent a demand for employee compensation. Demonstrate sustained superior performance and then be compensated. Associating compensation with training and no proven performance will bring only red ink to the ledgers.

Being a specialist vs being a generalist.
