I recently came across an insightful article on HRD Canada about the transformative power of employee feedback in driving organizational change. It’s clear that leveraging employee insights is not just a nice-to-have but a strategic necessity for modern organizations. The article highlights how fostering a culture where feedback is actively sought and acted upon can lead to meaningful transformations. It’s inspiring to see companies recognizing that their greatest asset—their people—hold the keys to innovation and improvement. Implementing effective feedback mechanisms can bridge gaps, enhance engagement, and ultimately drive success. Let's continue to champion open communication and use employee feedback as a catalyst for positive change in our organizations!

Effective leaders excel at inspiring and motivating their teams through clear communication. By articulating the "why" behind tasks and goals, they foster a sense of investment among employees. This approach drives higher engagement, productivity, and morale.

Energizing session by LITAL MAROM of The Academy of Tomorrow at the Flourish #hrconf2024 in Vancouver this week! Some highlights below on what makes an organization exponential ↗ - Exponential organizations are masters at leveraging and empowering third-party player platforms (aka the platform biz model), which allows them to scale quickly and match consumer value effectively. The potential for value creation extends far beyond what employees alone can generate which offers limitless potential for value, as seen in models like the Amazon marketplace. - They are data AND insights rich. Organizations that are data-rich yet insights-poor need to invest in extracting actionable insights from vast data reserves. Drive towards unlimited scalability stems from a data-driven #strategy, where traditional industry boundaries start to dissolve, allowing operations across multiple industries. - They are integrating #AI from the ground up rather than as an add-on. Along with connecting departmental silos to foster a unified internal infrastructure and #culture with seamless, scaleable internal systems and tools to support #hybridteam cohesion and communication. - They cultivate a #learningculture that is focused on experiments (aka ongoing feedback loop between learning, action, reaction and reflection). This is an ongoing process not an end goal. - They know what the current consumer expectations are and emphasize them (aka limitless, contactless, personalized, and instant services with round-the-clock access to support). - They understand that every company is inherently a #technology company today. Regardless of industry, exponential orgs have their ABC's (aka AI, Big Data and Cloud) on lockdown. They invest in #automationanxiety and change resistance in proportion to the legacy structures in place and how much digital business acceleration is needed. The journey of learning and adapting is continuous- leaders embracing these principles can significantly accelerate #organizationalcapabilities and steer their organizations towards exponential growth. 📈 🚄

Canada’s approach to workplace wellbeing is inspiring! As Dr. Georgia Pomaki from Manulife points out, there’s been a positive shift toward prioritizing psychological health and safety, though progress is ongoing. From mental health training for leaders to enhanced benefits like $12,000 annually for mental health services, organizations are stepping up to close the gap. This growing emphasis on psychological safety recognizes that stress from unclear job roles or heavy workloads impacts both mental and physical health. By fostering environments where employees feel supported and valued, companies aren’t just protecting their people—they’re building a foundation for success. Canada’s example reminds us that workplace wellbeing is a continuous journey. https://lnkd.in/gfyFhP2B #WeekendWellbeing #MentalHealth #Leadership #WorkplaceWellbeing

"Innovation, by definition, entails new and non-obvious solutions to a problem, as well as meeting customer needs that previously were not even recognized. So, it stands to reason that many of the most significant and valuable innovations will come from combining very different perspectives and expertise. That is a major reason why external innovation from collaboration with other companies proves so effective. Moreover, our research suggests that going further, and actively engaging in collaboration with companies in other industries, has the potential to amplify that effect." More on innovation in this article "Unlearning to Innovate" from the Ivey Business Journal which explores how organizations can boost their innovation capabilities by shedding outdated knowledge and assumptions. #innovation #learning

An excellent interview. Vulnerability is an important aspect of leadership. Have a read! “Not being perfect also empowers others to speak up. People like to see that bosses admit when they’re wrong, that they are comfortable asking questions so they can learn, and that they are grateful for good answers from the people around them, who may in fact know more than they do about a particular issue. This complementarity of capabilities and knowledge is very important to be aware of so that it can be used to the benefit of the enterprise.”

Culture transformation needs to start, as all change initiatives should, with four actions: fostering understanding and conviction, reinforcing changes through formal mechanisms, developing talent and skills, and role modeling. These four factors are critical for changing and then sustaining the mindsets and behaviors that allow for high performance.
