Lucinda talks once more about engagement in light of the state of the global workforce and working methodologies being adopted globally.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Engagement is undeniably a leading indicator of productivity, profitability, health and safety issues, customer satisfaction and overall people happiness.
• Global engagement levels are at 23%. European engagement levels are at 13%, and the UK (33rd in the list) have 10% engagement.
• It's hard to be engaged when you're feeling high levels of stress. With the current financial hardships and the cost of living crisis, it can be almost impossible not to bring those worries to the workplace.
• Remote working will have played a part in the lessening of engagement with each other. They are becoming more insular and isolated, leading to sense of not belonging to an organisation.

BEST MOMENTS

'The reality is that there's a lot of disengagement out there'

'People have a huge number of external stress factors'

'Actual employee engagement in terms of interactions and good practice are less likely to cause a problem'

Lucinda is joined by Teresa Rose, an award-winning learning consultant and the founder of Consult Her Ltd, to discuss the most effective ways of building a learning pathway for our organisations - what they are, how to do it, and the most often-seen barriers to engagement.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Learning experience platforms are all about giving employees a much better consumer-grade experience when it comes to development.
• The utopian vision for these experience platforms is for users to be able to engage with and learn while at work, but we aren't there yet. There is work to do wen it comes to providing this effectively at the point of need.
• It isn't just about curating the largest content library, but making sure that the content itself is effective and engaging. Mapping these resources is the biggest part of the challenge.
• The initial building of the library is key, but keeping it up to date and useful is far more beneficial in the long term.

BEST MOMENTS

'How can you build a career pathway when you don't have a budget?'

'What you're looking at is bringing together best-of-breed content from various sources'

'It's all very well having an amazing learning experience, but the reality is that it's simply a large library of content where the quality may differ'

'What knowledge do we have? How do we capture that knowledge? Where should we hold it?'

Sonya Shelton founded Executive Leadership Consulting in 2007 from her passion for partnering with leaders and high achievers to create a clear vision and build work environments where employees are fulfilled and completely committed to their organisation’s success.

Sonya joins Lucinda this week to talk about strategy, culture, and how we can best encourage both in the organisations we lead.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Many companies use strategy and culture to forge ahead, but focus too heavily on one without balancing the need for both at the same time.
• HR professionals must be very connected with the business leadership to first understand what the underlying strategy is, and what kind of culture needs to be created around that.
• Identifying the purpose and why is a fundamental. In terms of mission, the question becomes how we can deliver on that initial purpose.
• Whenever there is a lack of trust or sense of conflict, always go back to the root - mission and vision - and work out how the conflict can be brought together under those elements.

BEST MOMENTS

'How do you as HR professionals connect with your business strategy?'

'We're very much the glue in terms of creating a balance'

'The mission is how we do things externally. The values are how we do those things internally'

'It's called vision for a reason. We really need to see it'

Lucinda talks about why it is that users find themselves unable to engage with systems in the long term following change, how to motivate them to want to embrace new ways of working, and the processes, roles and responsibilities you need to embed any kind of new system in the workplace.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Buy-in is key. Resistance can sometimes arise when people aren't involved in the formation of the idea itself, which is why we should consider involving people from the outset.
• Change is only ever truly embraced when people do not feel as though change is being done to them, rather than for them.
• When people resist change, it's purely because they are not motivated enough to change. This might be the case due to their lack of understanding of the bigger picture.
• Many organisations roll out the technical vision and implement a system, then communicate the change in the expectation that it will take effect. What's required is persistence and the empowering of others.

BEST MOMENTS

'People don't resist change, they resist being changed'

'The Three Cs are: Communication, Clarity, Consequence and Consistency'

'People are busy - how do we actually get them to do these things?'

'Always start with why'

This week, Lucinda is joined by licensed psychologist and emotional intelligence specialist, Dr Robert Hernandez, to talk about emotional intelligence, and how by placing it at the forefront of development, we can help to shape future leaders.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Emotional intelligence is the art of being aware of data or information in which emotions arise. Emotions come from the unconscious - emotional intelligence dictates how we use that emotion.
• interpersonal skills are a huge part of emotional intelligence. We must begin with self awareness and then focus on self expression, looking for ways to express in ways that are helpful and constructive.
• With the rise of AI in the workplace, we must re-evaluate what makes us human. One of the main aspects is the way in which we react to emotions and allow them to guide and lead us in our day-to-day actions.
• A common misconception is that all leaders must be extroverted and charismatic, but this isn't always the case. Charisma and extroversion are certainly qualities that help, but it's far more constructive to build a leadership persona that helps us to adapt, so long as it is authentic.

BEST MOMENTS

'Our focus is on new leaders, and developing that emotional intelligence'

'I view emotions as something that comes up from the unconscious'

'Leadership doesn't happen in a vacuum'

'Emotional intelligence is very much based on the moment'

Rameez Kaleem is the founder and managing director at 3R Strategy, an independent reward consultancy, as well as the author of 'A Case of the Mondays: How to build a culture of trust through pay transparency'.

Rameez joins Lucinda to talk about the research in which he has been recently involved - Salary Trends for 2023 - a highly topical subject that has far-reaching implications for anyone in employment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The research was carried out in order to find out how organisations are managing pay and giving insight into market practice and budgets being set.
• The median pay budget for 2022 came out at 4%, with slight variations. The numbers for 2023 saw an increase to 5%.
• There is a lack of variable pay in the public sector, charity sector and education sector, within financial services there was a higher budget in the upper cortile.
• Help with cost of living increases have come in variable ways from organisations trying to do what they can to retain and attract their people. Sometimes it is a lump sum, while some offer an increase in overall salary. In all cases, these payments are meant to be meaningful.

BEST MOMENTS

'This year in particular, with record inflation, it was a topic for a lot of HR professionals'

'Most organisations have tried to have payments that are meaningful'

'While performance can fluctuate from year to year, behaviours tend to be more consistent'

Carla Miller is the author of 'Closing The Influence Gap: A practical guide for women leaders who want to be heard', which reached #1 in the Amazon charts for Business Leadership Skills and Business Management and Leadership.

Carla joins Lucinda this week to discuss the book and how best to apply its central core theme and message to our own organisations.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The first step towards closing the influence gap is seeing yourself as a leader. It's about conquering self doubt and surmounting that sense of impostor syndrome we feel.
• We have to encourage others to see us as leaders. This is especially difficult for women, as society programmes us all to not see women this way.
• When we present our authentic selves, it also gives others permission to do the same, allowing a greater sense of connection.
• Many women are more than capable of leading teams and do so, but getting people at a senior level to notice this is very challenging. Even when presented with evidence, men are still naturally more preferred in leadership roles.

BEST MOMENTS

'This is a self discovery that you can go through'

'We work on beliefs we may have adopted about ourselves'

'People see themselves as managers, but not necessarily as leaders'

'We want you to be the best version of you'

Lucinda is joined by Gemma Rabbini from Coach & Bloom, for a discussion around positive intelligence - what it means, and how you can retrain your brain to act in a more positive, forward thing and centred way in order to get the best out of life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• In terms of self belief, women are significantly lacking in that area when it comes to men. It's a niche that needs attention in order to effect change.
• Positive intelligence represent the proportion of time that your mind is working for you, versus that proportion of time it's working against you.
• Everyone has "the judge" voice in their head - the judging thoughts that tell us how to feel about ourselves and others. Other negative voices act as "saboteurs", such as the "victim" voice, and the "people pleaser".
• Talking about mental health is. helping to bring this formerly taboo subject out into the open, and making it easier for businesses to support those who need it.

BEST MOMENTS

'I'm really motivated about supporting women during their career "squiggles"'

'Positive intelligence is applicable to anyone'

'There are voices in our heads that can restrict us from taking opportunities'

'We have to acknowledge the voices that we have'

Emma Hossack is an ICF accredited Personal and Business Coach, NLP and Resilience Practitioner with a passion for helping clients and organisations flourish, as well as the founder of Transforming Minds for Business.

Emma joins Lucinda to discuss the ways in which data can play a vital role in strategies designed to ensure wellbeing at all times.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• In recent years, studies have shown that increases of around 25% have been recognised in the impact of mental heath upon absenteeism and quiet leaving.
• The RAW index can show strengths and gaps in teams and abilities, even when they are not recognised on a business level.
• Data creates a "why". Often, training and mentor is done "to" a person, instead of taking into account their personalised data, and which areas require attention.
• Values are the key to resilience as they provide purpose and direction during times when we find ourselves challenged. They keep us going when it matters.

BEST MOMENTS

'How you show up at work and how you show up at home are all linked'

'We can develop meaningful bespoke programmes for each individual'

'What they are working on is specific to them'

'We want companies to be in a position where they don't need us'

This week, Lucinda is joined by wellness and nutrition specialist Katherine Horstmann, to talk about the most effective ways that we can focus upon our personal wellbeing, and subsequently apply this to the people in our care as HR professionals.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Wellbeing and wellness should be staples of the HR conversation, instead of something we need to fight for.
• The evidence between the things we eat and their effect upon our long term health, mood, and wellbeing is becoming more and more compelling.
• Food at the desk is in its best form as a smoothie. By pre-preparing these we can ensure that we're getting the optimal amount of vegetables and nutrients in our daily intake.
• The food education we've been given across the years has largely been debunked, Fat does not make us fat - foods such as avocados are nutritionally beneficial, despite the large amount of calories they contain.

BEST MOMENTS

'The conversation needs to be more about why we wouldn't want this on our HR agenda'

'The link between the food we eat and our mood is compelling'

'We have to get to the root cause'

'A lot of my job is undoing the education that we've had'

Lucinda talks to expert trainer and consultant Carol Norbeck Hines, the author of 'Joyful Leadership', about why people should always be at the heart of leadership and the decisions we make, the value of excellence and trust, and why we should never be afraid of apologies and the benefits they can provide.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Human Resources should always focus upon our people. The people aspect is the heart of the organisation, and we should keep this in mind at all times.
• Since we are the keepers of the actual people, we need to help our leaders answer the question: why would people want to follow you?
• We need to role-play what leadership looks like considering the trust and integrity at every turn, and encourage leaders to follow the paths we take.
• Often, some cases call for apologies to be made. We shouldn't fear this, as they are a great way to engender trust and build bridges.

BEST MOMENTS

'I help good leaders become great leaders'

'We're really the keeper of all things people'

'You've got to manage the process and you've got to lead the people'

This week, Lucinda is joined by Julie Kratz, the Founder and Chief Engagement Officer of Next Pivot Point, created to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace, to discuss the topic of allyship - supporting people who may be different to us - and why it's a crucial part of not just advancing culture in the workplace, but in society as a whole.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Allyship and inclusive leadership are very similar, and are not concepts that we can simply switch off outside of the workspace. They are a state of mind and constantly active.
• There are nuanced differences between regions. Progression upon certain groups seems to be more advanced in different places, such as gender inclusion in Scandinavia.
• As leaders, we must empower those around us. Find the allies who are passionate about building awareness and give them a voice in your organisation.
• Making mistakes is natural. What we have to do is admit errors when they arise, apologise, and treat them as learning opportunities.

BEST MOMENTS

'There's no on and off switch for allyship'

'Allyship is to support folks who are different to yourself'

'There is so much complexity to those conversations that we've given air time to'

'Instead of going to a reactive response, think about it as a learning opportunity'

Anthony Munday - also known as the Maverick Mediator - is the award-winning CEO of TM Development Associates Limited. This is a Consultancy that delivers conflict resolution development for managers, accredited ACAS mediation, accredited Structured Debriefing and leadership mentoring. Anthony specialises in mediating conflicted senior teams and complex, long-standing disputes.

Anthony joins Lucinda to talk about the subject of conflict in the workplace and what we can do about it as HR professionals.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The most successful way to defuse potentially combative situations is to take an early approach - a proactive stance on conflict resolution.
• Arbitration is different from mediation. Arbitration is when an external party comes into a situation, listens to both sides, and makes the situation clearer.
• Mediation is the art of building rapport, building trust and building confidence. Often by gaining complete trust, we can get to the root causes of conflict, which can stem from past trauma.
• Time limits on mediation are incredibly disrespectful, We cannot hope to build trust if the clock is ticking

BEST MOMENTS

'I adopted a coaching style of leadership'

'You can't entirely eradicate conflict'

'The nature of mediation is variable'

HR podcast, The HR Uprising, Diversity, Equality & Inclusion, Learning and Development, Culture & Change: https://hruprising.com/hr-podcasts/

Lucinda talks to Phill Holdsworth of Aurun Gold Ltd, who are dedicated to taking the anxiety out of money, about financial wellbeing - how it's becoming even more of a concern with the recent rise is the cost of living, and what we can do to improve things for our people so as to best ensure that they do not have to bring their anxieties to the workplace.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Wellbeing is the holistic view of a person, including physical, mental and financial. One always affects the other, and so if something is wrong it can lead to a downturn in productivity and engagement.
• If you do support your workforce with issues surrounding wellbeing, you can increase engagement and loyalty by caring for financial wellbeing. This also prevents the revolving door syndrome.
• If people aren't facing up to their financial obligations or struggling against the rising costs, we can't take the attitude that it's necessarily their fault, or that they are lacking in some way. People simply become overwhelmed.
• Simply raising salaries so as to provide more income does not solve people's anxieties around money. If they have more money, they will still worry. We need to understand the root psychological cause behind this.

BEST MOMENTS

'If you think about true wellbeing, then you're thinking about the whole person'

'We are responsible for reward'

'People think that money will solve all their problems'

'Why is it that somebody who doesn't need to worry about money, worries?'

Following on with a look at how to rethink performance management and the appraisal process, Lucinda discusses the practical ways in which you can design your own evidence-based management process, to ensure that any decisions resulting are well thought through.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A performance management process is promising that if we meet or exceed expectations, and contribute to the company mission, then the company will meet or exceed your career and reward expectations.
• When we make this promise to our people, we must ensure that it is a promise that works both ways. We need to find a balance to make it work.
• SMART stands for goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant (Strategically) and Time-bound.
• In any process that we set up, the goal setting should be at the heart of things. The pinnacle of the performance evaluation process is the appraisal. The reality is, what is the point of an appraisal if there are no goals in place?

BEST MOMENTS

'It's advisable to be as evidence based as possible'

'Without quality goal setting, we are not likely to ever achieve high performance'

'It's genuinely designed to benefit the organisation and the individual'

'Goal setting with regular timely feedback is incredibly powerful'

With a new year focus upon health, performance and wellbeing, Lucinda talks to Performance Coach, Ollie Martin and Professional Coach, Nick Thomas, about what "Uncommon Sense" can mean in terms of performance and development, and how we as HR professionals can help others to take better care of themselves while also ensuring our own performance is as effective as possible.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Fitness and activity have become more seldom in our daily routines with the rise of remote working. It's now become common to not move as much during our day, which is impacting society's fitness levels.
• Businesses have been slow to respond to the physical wellbeing of their people, but with the advent of COVID, there has been a shift and a tipping point has now been reached. They have begun to recognise the value in ensuring health.
• Our hearts pump 7200 times a day and without movement to aid it, it can become far more worn than usual. We need to move in order to keep our hearts healthy.
• Helping people in wellbeing terms can begin with policy. Are we ensuring that lunch breaks are being taken? Are we ensuring that burnout isn't taking place due to over work? We can lead from the top.

BEST MOMENTS

'The thing about common sense is that it isn't all that common'

'We look at how we can make people healthier'

'How can you build movement snacks into your day?'

'We're looking at setting a culture for long term health and wellbeing'

Dr Finn joins Lucinda on this all-new episode for 2023 to talk about the best ways of instilling high performance habits from the get go in order to help you see a more empowered year ahead.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• First principle thinking is the art of boiling things down to the most basic principles possible. It's about stripping ideas back to their core and simplifying the process to achieve them.
• Our businesses run on the brainpower of people, but the issue is that many do not completely understand the brain itself. By empowering this knowledge, we edge closer towards our objectives.
• Habits range from 100% of what we say and do, down to 98% of what we think and do. Most of what we do is mindless, automatic behaviour.
• Better sleep, better diet and better levels of exercise are the foundations of allowing people to be at their best. Stress management, confidence habits and better leadership habits will follow.

BEST MOMENTS

'Your business runs on brains'

'I want to empower everyone to use these insights to do better'

'Brains run on habits'

'We've got work out where are the blockages, and what's stopping our people from developing the habits that will help them to be at their best'

Lucinda talks to Emma Djemil, the founder of The HR Club, to discuss the concept of the group, and what inspired her to create a career development network for women in HR - a space to connect, develop and grow sustainably.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The mark of a good leader is someone who can spot a person's unique gifts and strengths and harness them for the good of the organisation.
• We need to understand that work incidents and events have an impact upon the mental health of our people. We also need to recognise the impact it can have upon us as professionals. HR is a sector in which people often experience burnout.
• Work must be made in order to move us more towards a place where people are appreciated above all else, and the HR departments are not just called upon when negative impact needs to be absorbed.

BEST MOMENTS

'I had always experienced leadership around which I needed to be something different'

'What I see is a profession in which so many of us end up in burnout'

'There is a gap between us and the resources available to us'

Anna discusses the ways in which attitudes towards flexible and sustainable working practices have changed, and how HR professionals can help people to have a more balanced life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• People have always tended to separate work and personal life - but the best practice is always to treat life as a whole, and recognise that each feeds into the other.
• HR must being to think about how we are redesigning jobs, not just in terms of flexibility, but also to recognise the areas in which AI will replace jobs or people.
• It has become embedded in corporate culture whereby those who are seen as always-on-call are more valuable. but this thinking must change.
• By opening up to more flexibility, we also open our organisations up to a more diverse workforce. We attract talents that only work in a flexible environment.

BEST MOMENTS

'Flexible working is something that many of us need - not just women'

'I encourage people to think about how they can set boundaries'

'It's little boundaries that give you a chance to break away from this constant blurring'

'We must support each other so that everyone gets a more balanced life'
