How can leaders keep people engaged at work? Identifying reasons for disengagement is the first step! Gallup identified the 4 most common negative emotions that correlate to engagement in our workday: Stress, Worry, Sadness and Anger. Gallup says we can feel all of these emotions and still be engaged in our work or disengaged. So, what's the best approach? Gallup identified what created a positive environment & engagement - 1. Being well rested (said no new parent ever!) 2. Being treated with respect 3. Smiling and laughing at work 4. Learning something new or interesting Not being well rested, being treated with disrespect, finding no fun or humor in the workplace, and not learning something new of course are the opposite, and cause us to feel the negative aspects of the emotions identified and disengage. The easiest approach to keep people engaged is to focus on these 4 solutions - 1. Encourage personal rest and relaxation 2. Figure out where respect is not being practiced at all levels and fix it 3. Encourage team interaction and humor 4. Give people new challenges Thanks Gallup for the insights! ?? https://bit.ly/3QUPWsd Let us know in the comments if you agree?

40% of people polled would accept a pay cut to continue working remotely – per Harvard Business School's recently published study – Not suprising, in fact, it should be a sentiment that leadership embraces to attract and retain the best people for their team. Offering flexibility for remote work shows trust between a company and employees. A cornerstone of building a positive company culture is trusting that your team will meet goals and manage their schedules appropriately no matter their location. Allowing hybrid work without a pay cut benefits your company when you've hired the right people, andgains respect and trust in return. https://bit.ly/4gz0zLy #newmangroupsearch #workfromhome #hybridschedule #returntooffice #flexibleschedule #insuranceindustry #executivesearchfirm #insurancejobs #HR #insurancefirms #businessstrategy #companypolicy #insurancerecruiters #insuranceexecutivesearch #employeebenefits #harvardbusinessschooling

Time away to rejuvinate and re-energize for new challenges in your work. How important is it to you? Do you get enough time away? Would you change jobs for a better PTO plan? #rejuvinate #PTO #insurancejobs #benefitsmatter

Unlimited PTO is not new anymore – so what's the feedback on this perk? Here's what we're hearing... ?? Looks good, but doesn't increase the time people take away (little abuse of the benefit) ?? Proves that good people always do good work and manage themselves well ?? Clear guidelines make all the difference to people feeling comfortable to take the time they need ?? Gives people permission to manage their own schedules AND their workload #newmangroupsearch #pto #unlimitedpto #insuranceindustry #executivesearchfirm #insurancejobs #paidtimeoff #insurancefirms #companypolicy #insurancerecruiters #insuranceexecutivesearch #destinationemployer #employeebenefits

Hiring? Here are key ways to stand out to top talent: 1?? Tell "The" Company Story Go beyond sharing your mission statement. Elaborate and speak to what it's like working with the company with positive anecdotes that exemplify the culture and what both the atmosphere and expectations are like outside of specific work duties day-to-day. Reference this Forbes article's five straightforward steps for developing your company's story: https://bit.ly/4gsQ6RU 2?? Offer Access to Current Employee Input Show transparency by giving candidates access to current employee's stories and opinions on company culture so they can have a firsthand sense of what it's like to work for you. 3?? Express Flexibility and Autonomy Show people that they will be treated as a professional, which includes setting their own schedule – in or out of the office based on their needs and workflow – have access to training that they value, access to leadership so they may share opinions, etc. 4?? Offer Competitive Salaries Conduct a market analysis to ensure your pay rates are competitive. This is vital to attracting and retaining talent. #newmangroupsearch #insuranceindustry #hiringpractices #executivesearchfirm #hiringtrends #insurancecareers #insurancejobs #interviewingprocess #insurancefirms #companypolicy #hiringpractices #remotework #insurancerecruiters #insuranceexecutivesearch #destinationemployer

Rise of the Bots? AI Recruiting Risks Filtering Out Great People The human touch is imperative for recruiting the right people from a sea of talent – that's something that "bot recruiting" seems to be missing. While a bot can comb resumes for skills and other matching criteria for a certain position, the bot can't: ? pick up on nuanced soft skills, ? or vet personality and potential creativity to ensure a match for the culture of your firm Using this kind of #AI system without the right human oversight can lead to time wasted and a negative experience for the applicants who could've been the perfect fit. A prime example is detailed in this Economic Times article regarding a company that auto-rejected its own employee for the position he already held due to a significantly outdated requirement ?? https://bit.ly/4aEjraD So what is the solution that doesn't overburden your #HR team while efficiently pinpointing the right talent? ?

?? Don’t Forget to “Fall Back!” ?? ? This weekend, we get an extra hour as we “fall back” for the end of Daylight Savings Time. ? It’s that time of year when we adjust our clocks, gain a little extra sleep, and notice the days getting shorter. ? But here’s the real question: Should we still be changing our clocks twice a year? ?? Some say it helps with energy savings, while others argue that it’s outdated and can mess with our schedules, especially as we try to adjust our internal clocks! ? ?? What do you think?? ? ?? Keep Daylight Savings Time as it is ?? Switch to permanent Standard Time (fall back and stay there) ?? Switch to permanent Daylight Savings Time (spring forward and stay there) ?
