In this week's newsletter, we're looking at how to engage the disengagement challenge in the post-pandemic Future of Work.

 

How should employers approach engaging employees?

 

More events isn't the answer. Listening to what employees actually want and strategically delivering on that feedback is.

What We're Reading

The satisfaction spectrum. Disengagement directly impacts the bottom line. But trying to re-engage every employee the same way can be a time and money waste. Instead, McKinsey recommends applying a different strategy for team members based on these six employee engagement archetypes. (McKinsey)

 

Less events, more fun. Do Gen Z and Millenials really want more happy hours and work events? Apparently not, but few employers are asking their employees what would draw them back to the office and increase their engagement. (Insider)

 

The hybrid paradox. In 2021, Microsoft found that while 70% of workers wanted more flexible arrangements, 65% also wanted more in-person time. How did they solve this paradox? By providing managers with RTO guidelines, not mandates, and training them to uncover how their teams prefer to connect. (Korn Ferry)

 

The Future of Inteviews. In today's competitive recruiting landscape, time is of the essence. And one of the biggest time killers is scheduling interviews. Enter async interviews — their competitive advantage is becoming too hard to ignore. (DJS)

 

Preparing for the Future of Work starts with understanding what's within our control and what's outside of it. Building that sense of agency into your organization will be the key differentiator for thriving in our VUCA business environment. (HBR)

GenAI is HR's opportunity. GenAI is here and already transforming businesses. It offers HR leaders, if they take it, the opportunity for a dual role at the leadership table — both preparing the organization for an ethical, "human-first" AI transformation and being an example of innovation for other departments. (BCG)
