joyful

Good people walking out the door? ?? Employee retention is much more than just a metric—it's a mirror into your company’s culture and the clarity with which you define how employees should show up. High regrettable turnover (when we lose our best people) is often a signal that something is up, whether it is a muddled up work environment, disengaging management practices, or a lack of meaningful recognition or rewards for high performance.? ? While not all turnover is harmful—sometimes it's necessary when the fit isn't right—when key talent leaves, it’s often because they don’t feel valued, aligned with the company’s vision, or are unclear about expectations.? Retention efforts must focus on creating an environment where employees not only thrive and grow but also know exactly what is expected of them in terms of behavior and contribution. When people understand how they need to show up every day, they feel more connected, more aligned with the company’s values, and more confident they can succeed. ? Clarity involves dialing in the ways of working, re-recruiting everyone back to the core principles of the company, calling out what great looks like when you see it, and giving actionable feedback immediately when something or someone goes out-of-bounds. Organizations that focus here will not only reduce turnover but build a loyal, engaged workforce.? Retention isn’t about keeping everyone—it’s about keeping the right talent, talent who align with your values and your "secret sauce". Every company is distinct and every employee just wants to know how to succeed. Point them to it and they will stay.? ? Want to go deeper? Need help defining and creating some of those key levers?

Leadership training is often misunderstood. It's not about churning out leaders who fit a predetermined mold. In my book Wrong Fit, Right Fit, I emphasize that leadership training done correctly focuses on helping individuals find their authentic leadership style rather than forcing them into one that doesn’t suit them. When leadership development is personalized, it becomes a powerful tool for creating a great place to work. A successful leadership training program should center on self-awareness, reflection, adaptability, and empathy. Leaders who understand their strengths and areas for growth, are far more likely to inspire trust and motivate their teams effectively. Leadership is about creating connections and enabling others to thrive—not simply driving results. When done right, cutting-edge leadership development results in higher employee engagement, better retention, and a positive workplace environment where people feel seen, heard, and valued. In today’s competitive environment, leadership that’s aligned with individual purpose and organizational goals is not just an asset; it’s essential for long-term success. Leadership training is not a one-size-fits-all solution—it’s a journey of self-discovery and cultural alignment. Wanna go deeper?

What do you think? What do you personally want? What works and what doesn’t? Please, hit us with your thoughts and opinions. In ours, both can work, as can a hybrid model, it really just comes down to your culture and how you want/need/require your people to show up or how you personally would like to work. But this post isn’t about our opinion, it’s about yours, so let’s hear it! #RemoteWork #ReturnToOffice #HybridWork #FutureOfWork #WorkLifeBalance #FlexibleWork #WorkFromAnywhere #OfficeCulture #EmployeeWellbeing
