mwah. making work absolutely human

Great to see our CEO Rhonda Brighton-Hall FCPHR at the recent Hays Salary Guide launch. A great conversation amongst experts on the state of the jobs market, businesses and the wider economy, technology, and the implications humanity must keep navigating to evolve and sustainably grow.

June is when a whole set of serious and overwhelming issues coincide. Each issue, in and of itself, represents a lifetime of work for many people, often over multiple generations, all determined to tackle complex and impossible problems and make a difference to the future we all share. While each topic deserves our full and undivided attention, when we dived into each one, we were blown away by the amazing thinking, writing, and actions under each agenda, by the extraordinary leadership and commitment, and most importantly, by the impact the work of these individuals was having on the lives of many. Taking a moment to recognise this amazing work we were reminded of the words of Emeritus Professor Rosyln Crouther, current President of the Australian Human Rights Commission, "Some things put wind in the sails of optimism". #ReconciliationWeek #WorldEnvironmentDay #Pride #MensHealthWeek #PTSDAwareness https://lnkd.in/g7M5bwSR

Last week, we had the pleasure of being invited to Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect)'s Night at The Stadium, at the Sydney Cricket Ground What a fantastic night - all about the power of sport to include! And a room full of people wanting to listen and learn. There's no doubt the highlight was Ultra-Marathon Runner Grace Tame, but there were many others. For all of us who volunteer as coaches and helpers for #Netta, #Auskick, #HotShots, #LittleLeague, #Kickeroos, and even #Dance, we were shown great ways to include all kids (and adults) via the simplest ideas of #VisualStoryBoards. Wonderful MC'ing from Tracey Holmes, fantastic panel, great research from Tom Tutton and Western Sydney Wanderers FC great demo (and Jacqui Borland's excellent goal kicking), all so good. And for THE answer of the night - Grace's answer to Tracy's question about "Which sportsperson did you most want to be like when you were little?" She admired them all, but the answer "I'd be myself earlier" made the whole room smile. We've included the link to ASPECT's resources in the comments, and encourage you to get involved and open up your own world.

We love this in conversation about mutual trust. Backbone of business for every organisation and for every one of us - customer or employee. We also loved the feedback on the way we use data 💙 to understand value and mutuality. Thanks to the Michael Rosemann for facilitating the #BrisbaneTrustAlliance and inviting Tash (Natasha) Down to lead this one.

Never been more important to stand together against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), celebrating LGBTOQ+ people globally and raising awareness of the work still needed to combat discrimination. Pride in Diversity

We're walking for #WalkforAutism We'd love your support.

Contagions. The reality of org behaviour is that it spreads fast! This week we talk about why the very best people and the very worst spread their influence so quickly! And why what you do about it is really important for everyone else. Plus a little on the new Swedish research on the corporate favourite 'meetings' and why they might actually be a good idea, albeit one that needs a rebrand.

While every story needs (or wants) a villain, in the world of organisational culture they're rarer than you think. We look thoughtfully at the differences between human fallibility and the truly villainous, and how to tell the difference. #culture #organizationalculture #badbehaviour https://lnkd.in/gvaFZf6P

"At the simplest level, human connections make us the rich beings that we are, full of life, of interests, of purpose, of meaning and needing, of supporting and helping, and connecting makes our lives longer, of higher quality, of better health". A great article from our co-founder James Hancock FCPHR looking at the science, the possibilities, and the reality of why connecting matters. #Connecting #relationships #humansatwork
