Developing an agile workforce for the future – Rachel Steele

Beyond The Water Cooler

Purpose-driven businesses have become much more the norm in terms of what people seek.

Companies know that to attract employees they need to provide opportunities that are meaningful and engaging.

However, retaining your workforce over time is a different challenge.

In this episode of the podcast, Rachel Steele of Huddle joins me to discuss how to engage a workforce so that they stay. That means getting some key factors right, including:

⭐ personal brand

⭐ promotion, progression and recognition

⭐ when bringing our whole-self to work is required

⭐ the need for versatility in an increasingly AI world

⭐ the need for employers to give permission

If you're thinking about how to recruit awesome people and how to keep them engaged, this is for you. Rachel provides some great advice about how to achieve this, starting from a different place to traditional practice.

And if YOU are someone thinking about new opportunities, check out what you should be asking potential employers to feel confident they have your best engagement interests at heart.

Imagine the difference that would make to how you show up at work?!
