Forbes Human Resources Council discusses, “Aligning Workforce Planning with Organizational Strategy” Workforce planning is about strategically preparing for potential skill gaps you may have in the future, whether from internal promotions, retirements or turnover. The key to doing this successfully is aligning your workforce planning efforts with the broader goals and long-term needs of your organization. #workforceplanning #enterprisestrategy

One of the best statements in this article by Tricia Sciortino in Inc. Magazine yesterday, is this, "Feedback is more than just a managerial task; it's a strategic imperative.  It allows leaders to foster a culture of continuous improvement where team members feel empowered to lean in and grow by collaboratively addressing blind spots, challenging individuals to grow, and ensuring that everyone is aligned with the organization's goals" So often I encounter managers who are a bit nervous about having the critical conversations that they see as "delivering bad news". Instead, I appreciate the approach of having a "courageous feedback conversation" that allows our employees to reflect on how they can move forward, onward, and upward--which is what our employees really want to do. I am also inspired by Kim Scott's approach in Radical Candor® which allows leaders to care personally while challenging directly. It may never become easy for some...but reframing your focus can help you do the work you need to do to help your employees become the best version of themselves so they can achieve their goals and move forward. Feedback truly is a gift. When we don't provide it, we may lose not only the ability to get work done but also the possibility of a great employee!

As a woman over 55 navigating today's dynamic workplace, I've come to appreciate the unique perspective and value that experience brings to the table. Over the years, I've learned that fitting in isn't just about blending in, it's about confidently showcasing what makes you uniquely qualified and leveraging your wisdom to drive positive change. While you didn't ask, here is my secret sauce. I embrace continuous learning. I stay curious and proactive about learning new skills and technologies. I think when people look past my date of birth, they see someone who is able to demonstrate adaptability and share a growth mindset. This is crucial at any age in any evolving industry. I believe in mentorship and networking. I have built strong relationships with colleagues of all ages. Mentorship isn't just about imparting knowledge; it's also about learning from others and staying connected to diverse perspectives. This is not to say that everyone likes me. People like different things. I share/highlight my unique strengths. My experiences are my superpower. Never hesitate to showcase how your background and insights can solve complex challenges. I stay tech-savvy. While experience is invaluable, staying current with technology trends shows you're invested in staying relevant. I believe in finding your voice and having confidence in it. Your voice matters. Speak up if you have something to contribute in meetings, share your ideas, and advocate for initiatives you believe in. Your confidence will inspire others to value your perspective. Navigating the modern workplace as an experienced woman isn't about fitting into a mold, it's about embracing your individuality and contributing in ways that only you can. Let's continue to empower each other and celebrate the richness of our collective experiences. Thoughts? What's your secret sauce?

In the last 6 months, I’ve had several friends impacted by company downsizing. This is a scary, difficult and frustrating time, and I in no way want to minimize their experience as it is a vulnerable place to be. With that said, this article takes an interesting look at company layoffs from a different angle- the impact to those still in the organization. Increased workloads, fear of losing their job and not understanding if there is future growth for their career are several key reasons engagement decreases after companies go through a layoff. As Talent & HR professionals, we should be prepared to support our organization through the ups and downs of business. How has your company supported current employees after a layoff? https://lnkd.in/gUSdfm-3
