Creating Meaningful Connections in a Virtual World

When it comes to remote work, old norms are breaking down and it is unlikely that things will ever go back to the way they used to be. The good news is that by addressing culture, communication and compensation in fresh ways, employers are starting to see a new and more durable kind of success in the race for top talent.

Fostering Wellbeing in the Workplace

A culture of trust and open, two-way communication are foundational to social and emotional wellbeing in the workplace. A business that can demonstrate that they consider more than just the basic physical needs of their employees will earn their loyalty, increase retention that reduces costs, and improve employee productivity.

It’s All About the Team

We have all heard the phrase, “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” This aptly applies to today’s situation and, no, I am not talking about our beloved Detroit Lions! What I am referring to is the alarming lack of qualified employees. I am finding that this relates to just about everyone, everywhere.

Planning for a Transition

I hope that everyone is enjoying their spring. Though a day this time of the year in Michigan can feel like any one of the four seasons, there is nothing quite like the feel of a pleasant spring day; the colors, smells, and the newness can uplift any spirit, especially after a long winter.

Building in Uncertain Times

Any organization that is truly serious about growth must first make a serious commitment to consistently recruiting fresh talent into the firm. This holds true even in times of uncertainty, like the current environment we are all in. Organizations may see hiring as an area they can pull back on when times get tough, but it is important to resist this temptation.

Welcome 2021

Happy New year! At the end of most years, I ask myself - where did the year go? But not so this year. The end simply couldn’t come quick enough.

Happy Holidays

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Though it has been a year like no other, as I reflect it’s clear that I have much to be grateful for. Each day I get the great pleasure of working with a terrific group of professionals.

Fall Gratitude

I think many Michiganders would agree that there is nothing quite like a pristine fall day in Michigan with changing colors, crisp air, and weekend football games. Well, perhaps football hasn’t been quite the same this year, but then again, many things haven’t been quite what they were in the past.

Labor Day Transitions

As we all know, in Michigan, the summer starts Memorial Day, and ends on Labor Day. Don’t look now, but Labor Day is right around the corner.  As we reflect on the true meaning of Labor Day, I think all workers should be proud of their accomplishments this year.

Time to Retrench & Recharge

It is hard to believe, but we are four months into the Covid crisis. To me, it feels like four years. Though no one knows when this will pass, it seems safe to say that we are in this for the long haul. What continues to echo in my head is the proverbial statement “the strong shall survive”.
