🌟 Reflecting on the Power of Partnerships at Workday Rising 🌟 As I take a moment to reflect on my journey with Workday, I can’t help but appreciate the invaluable partnerships I've formed along the way. From being a workmate to a consultant, an end client, independent, and now business partner, every role has taught me the essence of collaboration. At Workday Rising, we gather not just to showcase our innovations but to foster connections that truly matter. It’s these relationships that empower us to tackle challenges together and drive mutual growth. 🤝 **Why Partnerships Matter:** 🤝 - **Shared Knowledge:** Collaborating with diverse teams leads to innovative solutions. - **Strength in Diversity:** Our varied experiences create a rich tapestry of insights, enhancing our approach to problem-solving. - **Long-lasting Impact:** Effective partnerships extend beyond projects—they build trust and community. As we embark on another Workday Rising, let’s continue to harness the power of partnership. Together, we can shape a brighter future. Forever Forward. #WorkdayRising #Partnerships #Collaboration #BusinessGrowth #Networking #WDRising

It's 2024. Can we please normalize the idea that not every job is for everyone? Some people are not built to start or run their own business. Some people are not meant to climb up the ladder to the top job. Some people thrive on being managers or creators. They excel in their specific area of work. Some people want a structured workday and a life outside of work. Not every job is for everyone. #linkedincommunity #perspective

Had such a great time seeing so many friends and colleagues (and meeting so many new ones!) this week at Workday Rising in Las Vegas. Talk about bringing some of the most talented and exceptional people across HR and business together, and a community who cares deeply about shaping the workforce of tomorrow. It was also extra special to get to share some of Wellthy‘s story and data showing the ROI of care benefits when it comes to retention, engagement, and productivity—and how our work is transforming the lives of families and making such a meaningful difference for workforces. Here's to next year! #WDAYRising #WorkdayRising

This time last week, I was in sunny Las Vegas waiting for my flight home after a busy Workday Rising! I've clearly brought the sunshine home with me to London, along with loads of fabulous insights and inspiration from the event ☀. I've now published two pieces about the show - one on each of the core themes, AI and skills. You'll have to read the full UNLEASH roundups, but here are some standout quotes for me!

𝗙𝗶𝘅 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 This quote hits hard, especially in the 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 industry. It raises a big question: Are we trying to “𝗳𝗶𝘅” our employees, or are we working to create an environment where they can actually thrive? We talk a lot about personalized service for our guests—and that’s great. But what about our internal guests, our 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗳𝗳? Are we adapting to meet their needs, or just offering superficial perks and calling it “𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲”? Real motivation isn’t about throwing parties or patting everyone on the back. It’s about giving people the right tools, streamlining their work, and making life easier. It’s about adopting a 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 mindset that listens and supports. So here’s the challenge: Start by engaging with your team. Ask them what would make their workday smoother. Find out what truly supports them in delivering great service, and take those insights seriously. Build an environment where your staff can bloom. Because when you create the right conditions, people don’t just stay—they grow. And that’s the 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 worth striving for.

Imagine waking up every morning with a genuine sense of excitement to start your workday. 🌟 What does that dream company look like for you? Picture a place where your talents are not just recognized but celebrated, and where personal and professional growth is at the forefront of the organization’s priorities. This is a company that doesn’t just pay lip service to innovation but embraces it as an integral part of its DNA. Is it a vibrant tech startup buzzing with creativity and the energy of new possibilities? Or perhaps it's a well-established firm with a rich history of success and a strong foundation that offers stability and opportunity for advancement? Maybe it's a company with a strong commitment to social responsibility, where making a positive impact on the community is part of its core mission? As HR leaders, we have the incredible opportunity—and responsibility—to shape these environments. We craft the strategies that build cultures of innovation, engagement, and inclusivity. We ensure that employees are not just a part of the company, but integral to its success. So, what elements do you think are essential to create such an ideal workplace? Is it flexibility, open communication, unique benefits, or perhaps a focus on leadership development and recognition? What truly makes a company amazing to work for? Share your visions and aspirations for the ideal workplace, and let's inspire each other to create environments where every employee can thrive. #WorkplaceHappiness #DreamCompany #InnovationCulture #EmployeeEngagement #HRLeadership #CompanyCulture #ProfessionalGrowth #LeadershipDevelopment #WorkplaceWellbeing #FutureOfWork #InclusiveWorkplace #BusinessSuccess #CareerGrowth #EmployeeExperience #ThrivingWorkplace
