Elevating talent is a top priority as we move out of crisis mode and into strategy mode. We need to return our focus to developing future leaders and cultivating diversity at every level with the organization. This is our opportunity to reimagine employee experience to create the workplace the future demands.
Make your workplace a learning community
Providing space for learning seeds a deeper sense of professional self-awareness, a better understanding of role responsibilities, and a basis for personalized goal-setting.
- Engage employees by inviting them to build networks and to learn beyond their teams and managers.
Commit to mentorship mediums
Mentor relationships support developing talent and inspires quality performance while providing a structured path for development
- Commit to your team members, especially underrepresented employees
- Develop and support their professional and leadership goals
- Provide a safe place for exploration, experimentation, and risk
Build hubs for networking
It takes new employees longer to feel like they know their colleagues because they don’t physically meet
- In a remote environment, there are fewer opportunities to meet colleagues in person and to expand one’s network at conferences and industry events
- Give your team internal networking opportunities to keep those muscles strong
Think long-term on diversity
Diverse leadership teams create a comfortable climate, a network, and the knowledge that the leadership team is a destination for everyone.
- Create an employee experience program that mindfully addresses diversity on your leadership team to build a larger culture of belonging.
