By celebrating service anniversaries with physical and symbolic awards, you can cultivate a more engaged and loyal workforce. Recognizing employees on their service anniversaries can significantly boost retention rates. In fact, organizations that implement structured service recognition programs experience a 31% reduction in voluntary turnover compared to those that do not.

I left my first 9-5 job after a few days of joining. It didn’t work out for me but I don’t regret that. Why? Because - -> It taught me how to deal with people -> It gave me the understanding of workplace culture -> It gave me wisdom to understand how organisations work Most importantly, I learnt a lot about my personality and how I tackle things at my own level. Sometimes things work out well and sometimes they don’t. However, instead of focusing on what went wrong and being upset about it we should focus on what we gained from it. The negative experiences I had at that job will help me create a positive work culture for our interns at CwC and I think that’s a huge win for me. If you fail at anything in the future, step back, take some time to reflect and understand what you gained from the experience. Turn your failures into lessons. It goes a long way. P.S. How do you deal with failure?

While we all have a variety of backgrounds and careers, what is the professional development you have found most impactful to your career, or that you have been most thankful to participate in? I would love to see your thoughts below. It might just give me a few ideas!

Thanks to our #alumni for their brilliant input in the start of a new Career Development Centre 'Role Exploration Series', helping students who are exploring different career paths gain a greater understanding of roles in a range of markets. October focused on what certain roles entail, the skills needed, and hints and tips for success in 'Careers in Strategy and Operations'. The second panel focused on context, insight into expectations and the curveballs about a role as Chief of Staff. Thanks to Marta Gallego Mena, Tobias Meyerding, Tori Maxwell, Stuart Grondel, Olivia Hocking-Brown, and Federico Caso. #CareerDevelopment #Strategy #SBSInsights

To all the hiring managers, read this again and again: In simple terms: give people a chance to prove themselves. Your FUTURE star players might not have ALL the qualifications and experience that you desire but their work ethic WILL exceed anything and anyone that has been hired through Wasta or traditional qualifications and experience. Help BUILD the character AND experience of your employees. If your company or organization can take huge risks, so can your department from time to time.

It’s Friyeay, good people of the internet! And you know what that means: WINners' successes! Today, I have two stories with you that were shared last night on our Grads call. I hope you will find them as inspirational as I do! First one was from a WIN Grad who shared her joy in the 6-month secondment she had secured within her company in a different country. She absolutely loves her new team, she loves the work, she is doing much more interesting work - and a 32% pay rise to boot! What I celebrated with her and the other WINners, was not just these - objectively speaking awesome - results. What I just LOVE about this, is that she has conceived of this idea completely herself and then took the WIN steps to make it happen. What do we learn from this? You have agency. You can shape your life and your career. Don’t wait for others to do this for you. Go you, WINner! And another story that was shared last night - amongst many others! - came from a lady who has taken my rule that you should spend approx. 10% of your work time on sharing what you are capable of and what you have done with your colleagues, so that they can leverage that, to new heights. She calculated she has probably spent about 20% of her time increasing her visibility in her company, through thought leadership pieces, speaking and attending events etc. Yeay her! And yeay company. Because, team, le me tell you what one of the outcomes of all that work was - that the mother of all EVPs realised that she is perfect to do a very high profile redesign of the entire team. If that EVP hadn’t known she is capable of doing that, they would have missed out on her magic. So what is our second lesson of today? It is that you need to share what you’re capable of, and that doing that is great for everyone! Love, love, love when WINners realise their agency, realise they need to take control of their careers, do it and then enjoy the sweet, sweet results of those strategies! What are you celebrating today?
