I would love to hear from People Ops and HR Professionals on this topic. I’ve read several articles covering SHRMs decision but still uncertain if this was this the consensus among members, if members were surveyed or was this an executive decision? What was the explanation on why people have such a hard time with the concept of ‘equity’? — This is our topic of discussion at VEST this month so please share your thoughts. If you are not already a member, be sure to subscribe to our podcast to listen to the conversation! #DEI #Inclusion #HR #SHRM

Meet Joakim Kedbrant: Executive Interim Transformation Leader & Change Expert With a diverse background spanning listed companies, PE-owned firms, and state-owned entities, Joakim specializes in organizational development and change leadership. Starting at Ericsson, he mastered program and project leadership, then held leadership roles in the USA, overseeing large-scale projects. Venturing into startups, Joakim led Influence, a consultancy, and later led Indoor Energy through rapid expansion via acquisitions. Transitioning to Executive Interim Management, he led transformative projects at Karolinska Hospital, Swedavia AB, and PostNord, emphasizing transparent leadership and tangible results. Joakim's best advice for a transformation: • Understand the assignment and where you are heading – the direction • Be driven and take initiatives – but be humble and "musical" in getting to know the business • Build relationships • Establish a "now" picture of the business • Start working early with understanding what abilities (competences, behavior, etc.) you will need and how to build it. There is often resistance or uncertainty in the organization as the individual does not understand what will be needed tomorrow • Always show early successes and start follow-up on a few, but important, key figures   Read the whole interview with Joakim here: https://lnkd.in/dp4VwuWq.. #interimmanagement #projectmanagment #bestadvice

🔍 The Great Resignation has spotlighted the urgent need for companies to rethink employee retention strategies. As employees prioritize better opportunities aligned with their goals, it's crucial for employers to assess what makes their company worth staying at. Key factors driving employees away include inadequate salaries, limited career growth, and poor work-life balance. Effective retention strategies can help address these issues by fostering loyalty, enhancing productivity, and improving workplace morale. 🌟 Strategies for retention include: ▪ Offering competitive salaries that reflect cost of living and employee expertise. ▪ Allowing flexible work-from-home options to boost productivity and satisfaction. ▪ Promoting genuine work-life balance through supportive company culture. ▪ Recognizing and rewarding employees to boost long-term retention. ▪ Increasing employee engagement with open feedback channels and meaningful participation. ▪ Retaining top talent is essential for any company's success, influencing everything from brand reputation to customer experience. By implementing thoughtful retention strategies, organizations can build a loyal, motivated workforce ready to drive long-term growth. 🚀 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/erbrB9Kw #HR #EmployeeRetention #WorkplaceCulture #BusinessStrategy #Leadership
