Why travel will keep setting records
Air travel hit a fresh record on Sunday, new figures from the U.S. Transportation Security Administration show, with over three million people passing through U.S. airports. The record, set over the July Fourth holiday weekend, follows a string of fresh highs this year as travelers surpass pre-pandemic levels. While inflation remains elevated, a stronger dollar and falling costs for plane tickets and hotels have helped boost travel. Read more here. ?? Riva Gold

Etsy looks to fend off Temu, Shein
Etsy's going back to basics. After finding itself inundated with "mass-produced, generic products," the site is taking action to highlight the handcrafted, niche-y offerings on which it built its reputation. Etsy hopes to set itself apart from growing platforms such as Temu and Shein by, for example, showing how sellers created each product. Keep reading about Etsy’s plans here. ??? Emma. W. Thorne

This week's topic: Job swaps
Employers concerned their workers are feeling "stuck" are looking for ways to provide new opportunities without offering promotions, The Wall Street Journal reports. Companies are experimenting with job swaps and temporary assignments in new cities. Allstate is prioritizing internal hiring, and in-house recruiters reach out to employees for conversations about career development. They're looking to keep workers engaged and "inject fresh energy" at a time when voluntary turnover is down to 12% from 17% in 2022 and the job market isn't as strong. ?? Kara Reinhardt

Job swaps offer a fascinating solution to workplace stagnation, fostering fresh perspectives and skills. Yet, it's more than just changing seats—mentorship programs, continuous learning opportunities, and open dialogues about career aspirations can invigorate a static environment. Companies might also consider rotational programs, where employees explore different departments to reignite passion and innovation. Let's ponder: could fostering a culture of internal mobility and skill development redefine career growth in your organization? Engagement thrives on growth and variety. #CareerGrowth #EmployeeEngagement #WorkplaceInnovation

8 个月Instead of using one strategy after another, how about keeping it simple and going back to basics. Start from the human element first. I cannot get past the word ‘workers’ as Ashwin Krishnan and Gaurav Vaid mentioned. Another word am unable to digest is the word “engaged” as if they are toddlers. How about treat them as human beings and accept the basic fact that every individual has a unique personality or energy. You don’t “inject fresh energy” in people. You let their core energy shine. Please don’t inject anything in people, they already come with a unique energy ready to shine if allowed. Try to find what makes them shine. So be empathetic and listen.
