workplace engagement

In this episode of In The Club Podcast by Club Colors, Jared Tippets and Eric Kirby discuss the dynamic shifts in education and strategies necessary to meet the needs of Generation Z in higher education. They introduce the ASCEND model, focusing on affordability, support, culture, engagement, nudges, and data-driven insights, providing practical steps for institutions to enhance student success and retention.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Generation Z's Approach to Leadership: The modern era necessitates a different approach to leadership, where Gen Z desires connection, values alignment, and collaborative leadership rather than traditional top-down directives.
• Communication Evolution: Gen Z prefers face-to-face interactions despite engaging with online learning. They respond better to visual formats like infographics, videos, and concise, interactive communication.
• Shifting Institutional Culture: Changing institutional culture is akin to steering a battleship. It requires a shift in mindset, collaboration, and persistence, often breaking through silos and entrenched traditions.
• Higher Education Redefined: The ASCEND model emphasizes actionable steps in affordability, support systems, cultural adaptations, engagement techniques, strategic nudges, and data-driven insights to reimagine higher education's effectiveness.

QUOTES

• "Graduation day is payday. That's the touchdown, the pinnacle."
• "Culture change in higher education is like turning a battleship – it's a monumental task."
• "Gen Z craves face-to-face interaction despite the prevalence of online learning; they want concise, visually engaging communication."
• "Higher education theory hasn't caught up with Gen Z; practical common sense must guide today's educational practices."
• "ASCEND offers practical, cost-effective strategies for institutions to enhance student success without significant resource allocation."

In this episode of In The Club Podcast by Club Colors, Dr. Eric Kirby and Dr. Jared Tippets delve into the evolving landscape of student success in higher education and the workforce, particularly influenced by Generation Z. Hosted by John Morris and Chris Jaeger, this conversation challenges traditional perspectives, focusing on aligning education with the rapidly changing needs and expectations of Gen Z. The discussion navigates the importance of understanding and meeting Gen Z's aspirations, their innovative nature, value alignment, and the critical shifts necessary in educational and corporate environments.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Understanding the evolving concept of student success involves adapting to Gen Z's definition rather than imposing traditional frameworks.
• Gen Z's characteristics include ambition, financial mindfulness, technical prowess, creativity, and a focus on career-oriented education.
• Flexibility, authenticity, and alignment with values are pivotal for engaging and retaining Gen Z in higher education and the workforce.
• The need for adaptability in curriculum, on-demand learning, and real-world applicability to meet Gen Z's demand for up-to-date and relevant education.
• Organizations and educational institutions need to foster a culture of dialogue, mentorship, and growth opportunities to attract and retain Gen Z talent.
• Gen Z values being engaged as collaborators and expects organizations to genuinely communicate with them rather than talking at them.

QUOTES

• "This generation wants to be spoken with, not spoken to."
• "They're constantly asking, 'Why?' which is really what makes them strong."
• "The styles have changed, but higher education is not necessarily changing with it."
• "We have to pause and ask, 'Is the way we do things really the best way?'"

Difficult conversations. Are you having the difficult conversations in your organization? Or are there conversation gaps? Did you know not having difficult conversations in the workplace is actually killing team and employee engagement? In the second part of this Inspired Action For Imperfect Humans podcast episode, Hosts Kyle Kalloo and Christopher Lawrence discuss and define the problem of difficult conversation avoidance, and also get into some resolutions.

“I'll tell you what toxic workplace includes gossip. I should know I got involved in it and caught up in it and some really bad ways, a number of years ago. And it is toxic. It's not just creating a toxic work environment, but it's destroying your psychology.”

Summary:

• Introduction
• Statistics of not having difficult conversations
• Why accountability is important
• Gossip. Why not to do it.
• How to give feedback in the workplace
• Christopher tells his story of his time with an energy company

Calls to Action:

Even before the remote workforce evolution, office culture was inherently fragile. After all, it’s made up of imperfect humans interacting with other imperfect humans. And while perfection isn’t the goal, we all secretly wish for a workplace where people find ways to bring out the best in each other. Unfortunately, that’s not always an intuitive skill. It takes guidance, practice, and then more guidance and practice... but with the right leadership, it’s definitely achievable. How do you enhance your workforce’s ability to engage, collaborate, and adapt in this volatile and uncertain reality?
