In this episode, we’re consulting ENGAGE 2024: The Company Culture Report once again as we ponder the question: “Why are so many managers lacking follow-through?”

It’s here that we’ll cover how managers and company leaders can do a better job, every day, of living up to their word.

And joining Beth to provide some great thoughts on this issue is Matt Sunshine, CEO at The Center for Sales Strategy.

Matt provides some truly great points to consider, like:

• How it’s only a matter of time before people consider opportunities elsewhere if they can’t truly count on their leaders
• Why increased transparency with your employees only deepens trust (Hint, hint: employees almost always want to hear the bad news first)
• And, finally, how holding regular townhall meetings can be one of the most powerful ways to ensure that your employees feel valued and included in the future success of your company.

In this episode, we’re continuing our focus on ENGAGE 2024, our latest company culture and employee engagement report, by asking: “Why aren’t employees receiving more meaningful feedback?”

It’s here that we’ll discuss how essential it is for every organization to provide the development opportunities that their employees clearly crave.

Discussing the latest findings on People Development with me is the wonderful Kelly George, Talent Analyst/Engagement Specialist here at Up Your Culture.

Kelly offers such great points to think about, like:

• How developing your people not only results in a team that’s invested and competitive, but also leads to your workplace being an employer of choice
• Why it’s just as important to provide continuous feedback and development for company veterans as it is for fresher faces.
• And, finally, why it’s critical to not only celebrate and recognize top performance, but also the successes and improvements of the entire team

It’s here that we’ll cover the vital importance of clearly establishing and communicating your company’s Shared Mission to each and every employee.

Joining me to discuss and contextualize it all is the great Deborah Fulghum, Employee Engagement Specialist/Culture Coach here at Up Your Culture.

Deborah brings so many awesome insights to the table, like:

• How, too often, employees aren’t aware of the goals they are working so hard to achieve
• Why you simply have to talk about your Shared Mission and Core Values with your people all the time
• And, lastly, why establishing and emphasizing the rules of the game at your organization can mean the difference between engagement and disengagement for your people.

In this episode, we’re continuing our season-long, deep dive into ENGAGE 2024: The Company Culture Report by asking: “Why are more employees returning to the office?”

As you can probably guess, it’s here that we’ll tackle the ever-shifting attitudes around “where we work.”

Helping me explore these new findings on work preferences is Stephanie Downs, SVP/Senior Consultant at The Center for Sales Strategy.

Stephanie makes so many amazing points, like:

• How managers often point to a seeming lack of accountability as one of the main reasons for pulling their people back into the office.
• Why it’s impossible to please everyone when it comes to the “right” work model, but, still, everyone’s perspectives should be considered.
• And, finally, how there are a plethora of ways to make your virtual meetings as invigorating and energizing as those in-person.
