Leaders have approaches to engaging and recognizing workforce performance often built from historical norms and “the way we have always done it.” Both at work and in society at large, cultural norms have perpetuated negative outcomes with little conscious reflection. There is a lack of thoughtful discourse regarding innovation in this area, and we need to do better.
Dr. Jarik Conrad, vice president of human insights at UKG and executive director of the UKG Workforce Institute, challenged John Frehse, head of global labor strategy at Ankura, to have a conversation about where leaders are getting it wrong and what we can do to get better — both at work and in our communities.
Listen in on this live, thought-provoking discussion to learn: 1) How conscious and subconscious actions — all part of our accepted cultural norms — perpetuate disengagement and low performance in society and at work, and how to break the cycle; 2) what authentic, meaningful recognition looks like — hint: it’s not a $5.00 gift card; and 3) why top performers leave organizations, and, more importantly, why they stay.
