Too often, culture development feels like just another task to already overwhelmed managers. But done right, it becomes a skill—one that benefits everyone in the organization. At PILOT, we believe in equipping managers with the tools, feedback & accountability to actually champion their organization's culture and create a better workplace. Because managing isn’t about checking boxes. It’s about changing lives—and building workplaces that people want to work at (including the managers themselves!).

I had the privilege of facilitating a Board of Directors leadership retreat for one of PILOT Inc.'s inspiring long-term customers, Housing Works — with a dual mission to end HIV/AIDS and homelessness. Every three years, the agency embarks on a strategic planning process, and we've been fortunate enough to be able to support these efforts. The world is changing faster than ever, and so are the needs of the client population that the agency serves. As a powerful community organizer and services provider in New York City, the organization provides the largest private housing supply for HIV-positive people in America, provides wraparound medical care, and leverages a number of social enterprise businesses, such as New York State's first licensed cannabis store, to fund these efforts. 🛑 Yet their old mission no longer fully represented the work and populations they're serving. As we planned for the future, there was a lot of meaningful discussion about the current headwinds facing the organization and the country at large. Charles King, the co-founder and CEO of the agency, piped up, asking,💡"Consider how this environment is an opportunity, not just a threat," which changed the tone of the entire day.

Talent Management Starts in the Hiring Process Finding great talent through recruiting is a piece of the puzzle, but organizations and managers often have no plan to get the most out of new hires once they start. Traditional onboarding is rooted in administrative logistics of important things like building access, HR paperwork, IT provisioning, policy orientation, etc. But it often takes ~6 months for new talent to perform at a "meets expectations" level (often measured as time to competency or proficiency). Shortening that cycle has massive ROI not just for employers but also for the talent they hire as this accelerates the rate of learning and oxygenates the employee experience. My best advice is to map out an end-to-end process BEFORE you write a job description or sort through resumes. Recruiters and hiring managers are often hasty in just "seeing who's out there" and then bumbling along each step of the process with mission success declared upon an accepted employment offer. If you're like most professionals, you don't have a lot of time to do this kind of planning, or you struggle with building such a process. I've got you! I’ve created an 8-step guide packed with actionable strategies for attracting, assessing, and onboarding the right talent. Let me know what you find helpful! #CompanyCulture #Leadership #Onboarding

3 Questions to Help Define D, E, and I Diversity: Who's at the table? Equity: Can an individual's identity predict their outcomes? Inclusion: Is everyone empowered to contribute? To have a workplace that's diverse, we first need to be inclusive. To be inclusive, we need to proactively create opportunities that promote equity. A great way to do this is by making leadership development a core pillar of DEI - offering inclusive leadership development opportunities at all organizational levels. PILOT's Founder & CEO, Ben Brooks, had the privilege of sharing about "Putting Equity Back in DEI by Fostering Leadership" with the employees at Crédit Agricole CIB as part of their Diversity Month and the Allyship to Inspire Inclusion series. We're so grateful for the opportunity to partner with this impressive leadership team that's committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable culture. Ben ended the keynote with this quote: Equality is leaving the door open for anyone who has the means to approach it; equity is ensuring there is a pathway to that door for those who need it. -Caroline Belden, “The Inclusive Solution” Let's all search for pathways for those who need it and together strive for a more equitable world. #LeadershipDevelopment #DEI #Equity #LeadershipMatters
