With layoffs and the ebbing and flow of the job market, it's important to show appreciation to the employees who stick around. When was the last time you made your team feel truly valued?

I’m a couple of weeks behind on this after taking a bit of time off, but learned a ton at ClubVMSA’s VisionWest and it was great to connect with so many fun, smart experts in our little industry. It’s always refreshing and energizing to spend time with folks who spend so much time thinking about the same things we do at HireArt. A few quick things that ended up top of mind as I left: 1. I thought Dawn Keeley, C.P.M., CCWP, David Gershman, and Julia Braun's roundtable was one of the standout discussions. The topic was "The Journey from Gen1 to MSP/VMS", but the meta conversation about the challenges internal Contingent Workforce teams sometimes run into creating organizational buy-in and motivating change was particularly insightful and interesting. Learned enough in those 45 minutes alone to justify the sticker price. More companies should give Contingent Workforce a seat at the table. 2. It’s (still) very clear that there’s a segment of companies — broadly the mid-market— that feels underserved by the traditional MSP/VMS stack. Very much appreciate Kobie Wagener, MSOD, SHRM-CP joining Nick Sedlet and I for that discussion. Turnout was amazing, and always reassuring to hear the market confirming some of our core hypotheses in real-time. Shoutout to Angela Westhead, CCWP and Arash Rad for their contributions, and Lisa Wayne, CCWP for speaking up for MSPs. Loved the discussion and came away more energized than ever to solve things for that segment of the market HireArt. 3. When you get 100 folks in the contingent workforce together, your bartender is gonna get a workout, it turns out. The bartender at The Ritz Half Moon Bay was the conference’s MVP. Hope we all tipped well. Looking forward to Miami Beach in February. Thanks to Jeannine Parise and Jim Coughlin for a great event. 

🌟 I am honored to work alongside some great people who are passionate about helping others and making a difference in the community. For the past several weeks, our sales and marketing team at ShareSTAFF has been strategizing and planning our first company-wide initiative. This initiative was collaborative and fun and added some friendly competition between the teams, but it resulted in massive success. I did want to give a special shout-out to some remarkable players from our two-day event who went above and beyond to ensure that we were successful by 124% of the completion goal that we were initially aiming for. 🚀 ⭐ Chauncy F. - You led one of the teams, and I appreciated your thoroughness and dedication to gathering information. This led to the implementation of several proposals for our services. Your feedback has enabled our team to develop and work together at each event. ⭐ Selena Nazar -You made the impossible happen by ensuring that our target market was organized and that we had administrative support throughout the entire process. You even took the initiative to speak directly with customers in person, going above and beyond to make it happen. ⭐ Tee Alarcon - Your creativity and innovation brought some incredible ideas for promoting our brand through the goodie bags you prepared for our clients. The bags included a fun message and our contact information. We appreciate your participation in yesterday's event and your contributions to the conversations that took place. 📢 I wanted to express my gratitude to our branch operations team (Monserrat Bautista, and ALFREDO CALZADA) for participating in our event. They were not only attentive listeners but also actively engaged in conversations with representatives from different companies. It takes a special kind of person to adapt quickly to change, and I must say that our recruiting team did a phenomenal job by staying engaged and effectively presenting the recruitment and onboarding process to our potential clients. We all play a critical role in the success of a company and initiative, and I am happy to be doing this alongside all of you. Cheers to an amazing week, and I look forward to continuing to have many more events like this.

Landing a promotion is one of the top career moves our members want to achieve when they join ExponentialChangemakers. That’s because unless your organization has fully transparent pay and promotion policies, promotion processes can be hard to figure out.  The top two questions people usually ask are: - How do I make the case for promotion? - ⁠How do I ask and make the case for a pay increase? This week, Janine M. Mathó , XCM Co-founder & CEO shares advice she shares with members. Always remember, it is ok to ask for more! If getting promoted is on your list of 2024 goals, consider a coaching membership to XCM; they start at £155/$195 a year.

3 key strategies top companies use to fuel employee growth: ⬇️ I have worked with many companies from around the globe and spoken to even more, and I always learn a lot from them. When it comes to the top companies out there, they know how to best support the growth of their own employees. Here’s how they are doing it: 1️⃣ They invest in the talent they already have. They encourage people in their strengths and give them tools and opportunities to pursue professional development. Even more importantly, they connect their people to their purpose. 2️⃣ They level up their leaders. 70% of an employee’s experience is based on the relationship with their immediate manager. Top companies make sure their leaders know how to communicate effectively, how to handle conflict, and how to establish trust. The positive effects of that trickle out to the entire team. 3️⃣ They allow people to contribute. They allow people to exercise their unique gifts and encourage creativity and resourcefulness. The result is that people feel like they are adding value. Companies that do those three things are the type of organizations that people want to work for and where they stay. That’s where people have an impact. #LinkedInTopCompanies Grateful that ADDO Worldwide has been on “Best Places to Work” lists as our team inspires people today to impact tomorrow! What do you think the best companies do to support employee career growth?

🚀 Exciting Career Reflections & Embracing My Social Brand 🚀 Today, I found myself reflecting on my social brand and the journey that led me here. Having navigated through various roles, from retail (Big-Box) to launching my IT career during a quarter-life crisis, it’s been quite the adventure. 🌟 Starting at an MSP was my entry into the IT world. After 5 rewarding years, I transitioned to the Software Vendor side, which, in my opinion, is an incredible fit. Not to knock MSPs – they are challenging yet immensely rewarding, and with the right fit, one could certainly retire there. When I joined Liongard in 2020, a colleague and I initiated an Internal Learning Challenge aptly named MSP Horror Stories in October. We could easily extend our discussions well into November! 😂 One key takeaway from the MSP space: you must thrive on chaos. It's relentless, and managing it effectively is crucial for success, whether as an employee or an owner. I experienced this firsthand across various levels in my previous job. This isn't a rant; I gained invaluable experience and growth over those 5 years. While I wish the departure had ended on better terms (being ignored by the owners for my final 3 weeks was unexpected), I hold no grudges. The lessons, both good and bad, shaped the leader I am today. Perhaps these thoughts are spurred by prepping for Liongard’s first conference, RoarCon, next month. As an introvert, public speaking requires mental preparation, yet I've come to enjoy it. Last year, I presented for 8 hours over 2 days with ease, and look forward to doing it again. Wrapping up on my social brand: it’s rooted in experience. I’ve been in the trenches with many of you, understanding the challenges MSPs face daily. From retail, where I did everything from unloading trucks to managing stores, to the early tech days of accidentally taking down networks. This is what I bring to the table, and this is my social presence. Looking forward to connecting with you all soon! #CareerJourney #SocialBrand #MSP #IT #Liongard #RoarCon #ExperienceMatters

Tip #23: Evaluate the organization - does it believe what you believe? Yesterday on CBC, I listened to an interview with Jon Pole, President and Co-Founder of My Broadcasting Corporation. Jon was reflecting on the recent mass layoffs by Bell Media, and how MBC is looking to acquire 4 local Eastern Ontario radio stations unceremoniously ditched by Bell. MBC is not your ordinary media conglomerate. Jon made one thing crystal clear in his interview which distinguishes his company from so many others in the industry: He truly cares about the people. He went on to say how he knows what his listeners want - and delivers. He lives in the same community as a lot of them - he sees them when he's out grocery shopping. He employs people who care as much about the communities his stations serve as he does - and he personally knows who those people are. I'm a career coach, but he had me thinking I'd love to work there (and I'm neither in sales, nor a journalist)! If you are looking for work, you can assess the companies you speak with as much as those companies are assessing you. So - be intentional in that assessment. Ask thought-provoking questions that go underneath what's important to you in the organization you work for next. Questions which shine a spotlight on: 🔦 How the company demonstrates its values - to employees, to clients, to community partners. Do they believe what you believe in? 🔦 Leadership - think of the best leader you've ever had. What made them so awesome to work with? Does this company employ those kinds of leaders? 🔦 Team - think of the best team you've ever worked with. Why was this a team you were proud to work with? Does this company foster the same commitment to team accountability and collaboration? What else is important to you when you are looking for your next company to work with? How do you know they believe what you believe?

Big corporate upheavals often mask dramatic reductions in diversity of experience and thought at a company. From mass layoffs, to board restructures, to everything between. Great uncertainty and change often triggers a retreat to the known, to surround oneself with people who think like you, when... actually... you need the opposite. If you are in troubled waters, the more ideas, the more ways of looking at things, the better. Think about your last big change, did it accidentally impact the organisation's ability to actually make successful change?
