2023 is a year that will be defined by change and disruption. Given the current climate of economic uncertainty, businesses are facing a multitude of pressures, from the impact of rising inflation on organizational costs to the scarcity of talent and skills. Throw in the growing importance of employee experience and CPOs really have their work cut out trying to balance the needs of both the business and staff alike. .

The world of hybrid and remote work and interviews has revealed major flaws in the standard employee retention handbook. Most organizations can fall into the trap of treating the symptoms of high levels of churn and being reactive, rather than focusing on fixing the root cause of turnover. There’s a dangerous cycle of investing time and resources into hiring, onboarding, and training only for an employee to leave after the first year.

We know that a company’s biggest asset, in terms of success, growth and innovation, is its people. However, when it comes to attracting and hiring the best talent, this is often seen as “someone else’s” responsibility. But hiring is a team sport. It is up to everyone – from leadership and TA to hiring managers and HR – to be engaged, informed and aligned on this front.

If the pandemic taught us anything in terms of the workplace, it’s that having the right leader in place can be a huge factor in the success of your business. It seems obvious to say, but when it came to making tough decisions, showing empathy and providing stability, COVID really shone a light on what it takes for executives and CXOs to truly flourish.

“Language informs behavior. How we speak informs how we treat people.”. We all know the power that words occupy, particularly when it comes to diversity. Used wisely and with compassion, they can make people feel included and at ease. But, words also have the capacity to cause offense, even if that isn’t the intention. And with the language surrounding diversity being so nuanced, it can often feel incredibly overwhelming to get it right. .

While there is nothing new about working remotely, the scale at which it has been adopted over the last twelve months has been staggering. An option that only a small section of the workforce were able to benefit from became a life raft for many organizations. Necessity forced its implementation, but the results spoke for themselves. So even as we slowly begin to transition back into society, remote work isn’t disappearing.

It’s hard to think of another time when high employee engagement would be at such a premium. With the malicious tendrils of COVID snaking their way around every aspect of life, and the unintended diaspora to remote work, having committed and passionate teams is a life raft for so many organisations. Often touted as a primary reason for overall success in companies, employee engagement is proven to boost retention, increase productivity and enrich that bottom line.

A company’s culture refers to the shared set of values, goals, attitudes, behaviour and practices that make up the organisation. It is the ethos, the way people feel about the work they are doing and the morals they believe in. It permeates all, from C-level execs to front line staff and is a defining blueprint for everything a business does.

I learned something very valuable recently. Just because I am a gay man, it doesn’t mean I am an effective ally. It seemed almost jarring to realise. Surely, because I’m a member of a marginalised group, it must automatically make me more aware and sympathetic to the plight of others in the workplace? But that’s not how being an ally works. While, yes on one hand, I have some personal experience of discrimination and can identify it to varying degrees, my lens is still quite myopic. .

The number of people searching for UK police jobs has fallen by almost a fifth over the last two years, and dipped by 25% since just December. As the new UK government indicates plans to ramp up police recruits across England and Wales, interest in police roles has declined sharply this year, according to new analysis by Indeed. With public plans to employ an extra 20,000 police officers, a lack of willing recruits could cause some serious difficulty.
