As we all look for ways to get ahead of attrition and retain high performers amid the current upheaval, “stay interviews” have emerged as a valuable strategy. Some of us have known of these and used them with great success—long before the pandemic disrupted and destabilized our workforce. Seriously, why did we ever consider it […]
Learning Experience Platforms (or LXPs) are the latest technology advent to revolutionize the leadership industry. From LinkedIn to Training Industry, the buzz about LXPs has only grown since they first graced the stage in 2017. Whether you have heard of them or not, not everyone is exactly clear on what LXPs are or what they […]
Design thinking has changed in the training industry over the last several years. When managing digital content for learners, most companies have stuck to the traditional Learning Management System (LMS).

The employee shortage in the U.S. isn’t going to be resolved anytime soon. With millions of jobs to fill and not enough employees to fill them, organizations are scrambling to find—and retain—the right talent.

Accountability is a key component of any organization’s success. But it’s all too easy to brush it off as one of those corporate buzzwords that sounds good but won’t really help get you anywhere.

As a matter of fact, some insensitive people I golf with routinely experience self-centered joy by casting dispersion on the quality of my game with anyone that happens to be within earshot. Ironically, perhaps, I have a son who by any objective measurement available is a very […]
Three events that are inextricably connected (at least in my head!) are COVID, the “Great Resignation” and the employee experience. COVID As the saying goes, one global pandemic a lifetime is plenty!
