What you do for your employees says everything about you. And yet, it’s not just in offering “a competitive benefits package,” now the real winners are organizations that use those benefits to make meaningful improvements in their employee’s lives. We have a saying at our company, “A benefit isn’t a benefit unless your employee understands it and can use it properly.” My incredible guest @Joshua O’Gara is a fellow Employee Benefits Specialist and employment culture enthusiast and we dive into several key factors behind delivering an elevated benefits experience. We dive into the need for having a benefits strategy and address crucial topics such as the fact that employee financial well-being has hit an all-time low. How can employers support their employees’ overall financial health? What can employers do to support their employee’s mental well-being as much as their physical well-being? As leaders, let’s not just deliver the benefits our employees need, but do so in a manner that lifts them towards a better life! #employeebenefits #employmentculture #leadership #cultureenthusiasts #culturematters

The future doesn’t negotiate, the future doesn’t cooperate. It will be what it will be, so how can we work to shape it as positively as we can on behalf of our association, stakeholders and industry? This episode’s guest @Jeff De Cagna, is an Association Contrarian, Foresight practitioner, and Executive Adviser of Foresight First, LLC. He and I dig into perhaps one of the most crucial issues for associations to grasp: the duty of Foresight. In order for us to better hear the signals of the future, we’ve got to be able to turn down the noise of the past. What noise from our past, what baggage are we carrying, such as our orthodox beliefs, that prevents us from engaging in the kind of intentional learning that we need to do to better understand where we are going and what we need to become and what we need to do to guide us towards the pathways we must travel. How can boards reclaim their agency to be effective today and set their successors up for years to come? We cover all of this and much more, so enjoy this episode and let’s all strive to be Foresight driven leaders that our future successors need us to be! #associations #leadershipmatters #foresight
