CEO turnover in 2024 was unprecedented, with 1,991 CEOs announcing their departures by November, surpassing the previous record of 1,914 in 2023. Very few of these companies had reliable succession plans in place, leading to increased scrutiny from their boards, less employee engagement, and a lapse in company values. Having a successor doesn't have to mean you have a firm end-date in mind; think of it as having the time to train who comes after, this way they're ready for the task of leadership. #SuccessionPlanning #BusinessGrowth #FutureOfWork #CSuite

For HR leaders, Servant Leadership is the lifeblood of the profession. Protecting others, helping them find what they need, and offering support is everything when you're in an HR role. As we look to the new year, it's important to brainstorm possible ways to approach our coworkers and discover new ways of letting them know they're appreciated, seen, and heard. #Leadership #Hiring #HR #EmployeeEngagement #TalentAcquisition

We no longer live in a world where the trade off needs to be “our time, more money.” Instead, we all have choices. When companies align with these desires, this is when they'll see people come together and work to achieve goals with peak performance. The key is understanding how to approach such a variety of desires and put them together into a culture that is designed for everyone. #HR #TalentAcquisition #Workplace #Empathy #Leadership #EmployeeRetention

We couldn't have said it better ourselves. Leaders aren't expected to be perfect. They make mistakes just like everyone else. Just be an example for your team on how to address mistakes, take responsibility for them, and fix them. #Leadership #Communication #Teamwork

Neurodivergent individuals, such as those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, represent around 15-20% of the global population. Therefore, in the U.S. alone, there are likely 65.6 million neurodiverse people in the workforce. However, many of these conditions can be invisible upon first glance. It is the responsibility of the business to make their teams feel comfortable enough to disclose information leading to a reasonable accommodation, leading to greater communication, efficiency, and productivity. All it takes is a little bit of kindness and understanding, and your company could go a long way. #TalentAcquisition #Neurodiversity #HR #ReasonableAccommodations
