David Dodson

In this episode of the Transform Your Workplace podcast, host Brandon Laws interviews David Dodson, an accomplished author and successful entrepreneur. David shares insights from his book, The Manager's Handbook, which provides a comprehensive blueprint for effective management, offering practical and data-driven strategies for hiring, onboarding, and day-to-day leadership. The episode provides valuable insights for managers seeking to optimize team performance and achieve business success.   TAKEAWAYS   Managers must move away from hiring based on gut feelings and move toward hiring based on outcomes.   In the first one hundred days, the connective tissue is built between the employee and the company, so proper leadership during this initial time is critical to retention.   Instant performance management with radical candor is essential in developing your people and building trust.   The exit interview is a secret weapon for greater understanding and development of the manager’s strengths and weaknesses, and it must be conducted effectively by someone who is not the direct report.   Often, we can confuse busyness with progress — we must ask ourselves whether we’re moving the company forward or just “being busy.”    Sign up for the annual What People Want from Work Survey by Aug 31: https://xeniumhr.com/what-people-want-from-work/   A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST 🔊 Podcast: Transform Your Workplace, sponsored by Xenium HR 🎙️ Host: Brandon Laws 📋 In his own words: “The Transform Your Workplace podcast is your go-to source for the latest workplace trends, big ideas, and time-tested methods straight from the mouths of industry experts and respected thought-leaders.”

Joe Mull

Struggling to keep top talent in today’s modern workplace? It’s not as complicated as you might think. According to recent guest Joe Mull, author of Employalty, employers must make a commitment to three essential aspects of a “destination” workplace: providing the ideal job, prioritizing meaningful work, and being a great boss. Simple yet powerful, these focus areas are the key to lasting retention. Listen in and learn how you can take real steps to ignite commitment and loyalty among your people.   TAKEAWAYS   Employalty is a portmanteau of the words “employer,” “loyalty,” and “humanity.”   Social science research shows that organizations can attract and retain dedicated employees by focusing on three key areas: “ideal job,” “meaningful work,” and “great boss.”   Today’s employees are recalibrating the type of work they want to do and how that work fits into their lives.   Business owners and leaders need to embrace a mindset shift — that there is no staffing shortage, but rather that there is a “great jobs” shortage.   People generally do a great job when they believe they have a great job.   The ideal job is made up of compensation, workload, and flexibility.   People believe that their work is meaningful if they find purpose, use their strengths, and experience belonging.   This “great boss” factor is made up of three dimensions: trust, coaching, and advocacy.      A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST 🔊 Podcast: Transform Your Workplace, sponsored by Xenium HR 🎙️ Host: Brandon Laws 📋 In his own words: “The Transform Your Workplace podcast is your go-to source for the latest workplace trends, big ideas, and time-tested methods straight from the mouths of industry experts and respected thought-leaders.”

Malorie Nicole

Sit down with Malorie Nicole, a transformational executive coach, as she discusses the challenges that today’s leaders face in achieving personal business alignment. Malorie highlights the importance of scaling a company by keeping the development and well-being of your people at the forefront. And when it comes to boosting team performance, she talks about how CEOs must start with themselves. If you’re a leader of people, you don’t want to miss this conversation on how to create real and lasting change for your team.   TAKEAWAYS   A significant challenge facing today’s leaders is achieving personal business alignment, or the harmony between an individual's personal values, passions, and goals and the goals and direction of their business.    Scaling a business is largely dependent on the development of people.   Post-pandemic, people don't just want a place to work but rather a place where they feel connection and autonomy.   When you’re feeling “stuck,” it usually means you forgot to give yourself permission to do something — to change, to let go, or to pivot.   Top-performing CEOs make strategic decisions instead of micromanaging daily tasks.    Emotional intelligence is critical if CEOs want to experience mental freedom, better performance, and stronger team culture.

Get insight into worker engagement and productivity, burnout, the labor market imbalance, the power of AI, and the role of blockchain in creating boundaries amidst chaos. This is one eye-opening conversation that you don’t want to miss.   TAKEAWAYS   The workplace is undergoing significant transformation and won't revert to its pre-pandemic state.   Nine transformative forces are shaping the modern workplace.   One hypothesis about a drop in workplace productivity is its correlation with a forced return to work.   A leading cause of burnout is technology and collaboration overload.   Management shouldn’t dismiss new tools, like Generative AI, just because of their disadvantages, but they should also be wary of leaning too heavily upon them.   Blockchain seems to be the best safeguard against complete chaos when it comes to the dangers of Generative AI.      A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST 🔊 Podcast: Transform Your Workplace, sponsored by Xenium HR 🎙️ Host: Brandon Laws 📋 In his own words: “The Transform Your Workplace podcast is your go-to source for the latest workplace trends, big ideas, and time-tested methods straight from the mouths of industry experts and respected thought-leaders.”

He shares how his experience at Elemental, a small startup later acquired by Amazon, inspired him to start Field Day, a program that connects employees with volunteering opportunities at local nonprofits. Give this episode a listen, and learn how volunteering can have a positive impact on your team’s morale, job satisfaction, and company culture.   TAKEAWAYS   Creating a culture of giving back to local nonprofits boosts employee morale, job satisfaction, and retention.   Recognizing the value of this outlet for employees, Eli Blackman co-founded Field Day, aiming to fill the gap in the market for tools that empower companies and employees to participate in volunteer activities together.   Volunteering shouldn’t be forced; instead, once employees participate of their own accord, they make connections that inspire and spur them to continue.   Leaders must address the challenge of relationship-building among their hybrid workforce, and one way to do so is through volunteering initiatives.   80% of employees who participate in volunteer events see a decrease in stress and report an improvement in mental health.

2020 Workplace and HR Trends 

You’re super busy at work — your phone's blowing up from the overflowing inbox of notifications, reminders, and chats. There’s so much interruption that you’ve got no time to think. And when you do, you have to stay stuck at the office, working more than 40-hours a week or force yourself to pull an all-nighter to meet unrealistic deadlines.  You don’t even have time to sleep because of your packed schedules and endless meeting.  When weekends come, instead of spending your precious me-time relaxing and having fun, you have those Sunday-afternoon emails to worry about, waiting to be read and dealt with. It’s just crazy!!! But hey, work doesn’t have to be crazy.  It’s true. We can still deliver a fantastic job without making ourselves miserable and insanely working like crazy to meet those so-called “goals.” We can have a productive work environment that lets people do their work in the best way possible. Basecamp is setting a great example of what it’s like to have a calm and productive workplace! How can we achieve a productive workplace without sacrificing long hours and avoid getting burned out? In today’s episode, I’ll talk about the book “It Doesn’t Have to Be Crazy at Work” with David Heinemeier Hansson, the author, CTO, and co-founder at Basecamp. We will also discuss the topic of the constant state of businesses, overworked employees, and the fact that we’re working more hours but still come out as unproductive.  David argues that you can still have that million-dollar business without requiring your employees to work insanely long hours and he’s going to tell you how. He will also share a lot of useful advice and action ideas you can apply back to your organization!  Grab your copy now! Check out the book here. In this episode, you will learn about:  What crazy means in the workplace The reason behind the long work hours Hustle Mania and the obsession with growth Burned out and overworked employees Setting your goals the Basecamp way Achieving the state of calmness The negative consequences of introducing technology and rejecting the “present person” practice The reason why Basecamp doesn’t do shared calendars inside the office How David coaches his people not to be distracted by constant interruptions from people internally and externally?

Building Your Social Wealth & Capital with Jason Treu

 “I’ve never been happier than I am ever since I embraced change.” ⁠— John Johnson Many of us prefer the easy path. We find comfort in things that we already understand. When things change too quickly, we tend to go back to the way things were. Change doesn't always feel good. It makes us uncomfortable, but it's essential because the world around us is ever-changing. Our fear of trying something new from what we're used to prevents us from growing and reaching our full potential. You can't always stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to reach you. You have to go out and take the initiative sometimes. But how do you get comfortable with change? How do you get okay with being uncomfortable? Here's the thing, we'll never feel comfortable at all times. That's why we need to push our boundaries a little bit. John Johnson, an Employee Benefits Consultant at USI, is here to help you shift yourself into that discomfort zone. Today's episode focuses on helping you help yourself be more comfortable with being uncomfortable. In this episode, you will learn about:  Why encourage people to be comfortable with being uncomfortable John Johnson’s personal journey with being uncomfortable Taking a break and being mindful Looking for things that challenge you How we become the average of who we hang around One of the best gifts you can give someone  Asking for permission when you’re afraid and uncertain Things you can do to make someone feel comfortable when they’re uncomfortable What drew John to the topic of being okay with being uncomfortable and why it matters Practices that makes John feel confident How John gets people to embrace change The first step in talking with people Why your words and approach matters a lot Getting comfortable with conflict John’s role at USI    Connect with John:  LinkedIn    Enroll in Xenium's e-Learning Courses   Connect with Us: What did you think of this episode?
