Lionsgate’s Post

The secret to employee retention might be hiding in your Core Values. Let me explain... Last week, I attended Elevate NRV, an event put on by Onward New River Valley. During the opening keynote, Justin Yalung shared an idea that stuck with me. He emphasized the importance of ensuring your employees have a clear "why" - a compelling reason they can quickly point to when asked if they like working at your company. This got me thinking differently about company culture and how it connects to keeping employees happy and on board. Justin walked us through the thoughtful process they used to develop their Core Values at Inorganic Ventures: ·  Chemistry is in our DNA ·  Compassion is our Guide ·  Character shapes our Legacy ·  Courage fuels our Fire How many businesses develop core values with authenticity rather than just ticking a box? And how many go the extra mile to find people who genuinely share those beliefs? I'm curious to hear others' experiences or thoughts on this. Have you seen companies that embody their values, or is it strictly a formality? How does your workplace approach this?

“Monday insights: As I step into my fourth week at Laine Pub, I’m already noticing a refreshing approach to how we think about retention and culture. 🫶 The ‘shoves and tugs’ analogy from Mark Murphy speaks to a common challenge many organisations face. Too often, companies try to retain talent with tugs—perks and benefits that give a temporary morale boost—without addressing the shoves that push people out: unnecessary obstacles, frustrating processes, or mismatched values. 🫠 At #laine, I see a different mindset. The focus isn’t on adding more perks but creating an environment where people can do meaningful work without friction. It’s about removing the shoves rather than relying on tugs, and that’s key to keeping high performers truly engaged. Excited to be part of a company that prioritises lasting impact over quick fixes. 🚀🦖 #RetentionStrategy #HiringForAttitude #EmployeeExperience #OrganizationalCulture #FourthWeek #LainePub #TalentAcquisition #MondayMotivation”

Sound-off for FRIDAY DISPATCH! Every Friday I’ll be posting a brief update about all things recruiting and staffing. It could be anything from what’s going on in the world of manufacturing, businesses/happenings specific to the Triad, spotlighting events or candidates, to ideas to combat workplace stress-we’ll see where it takes me! This week: A recap of attending the Spartan Pro Day 2024 Spartan Planning Group held an awesome one-day conference with a group of speakers that spoke on diverse topics and held your attention from start to finish. I got to attend with Beth Milks, network with some really kind, like-minded leaders from the community, and enjoy what the presenters had to say! Can’t wait for next year. I’ll highlight some of my personal takeaways from the day, but I absolutely recommend following each of these individuals on LinkedIn to learn more about them, their message, and their business. Corinne Auman, Ph.D. spoke about the aging workforce and utilizing those who are post-retirement. She highlighted the knowledge and experience the aging workforce has, shared insightful statistics about where we are headed, and included age friendly policies, and hiring practices. Steve Beck spoke about positive conflict-facing conflict head on, with a mindset that the problem is the problem, not the person. Striving to be curious instead of judgmental in the heat of the moment will help instead of hurt. Emily Wilburn Andrews shared her insights about personal and business transitions-because she’s been through a lot! Her incredible story included growing in her faith, traveling the world to share the Word, to later return home to take over the family business (just in time for Covid to hit). She emphasized that through transitions we should embrace technology, diversity, your community, and your calling. Dusty Holcomb focused on leadership and was captivating from start to finish. He included a ton of quotes (one of which is above) and book recommendations throughout, which was awesome! All of us are leaders in some way and aspect of our lives, so his talk was truly applicable to everyone. #FridayDispatch
