In this episode, Nozomi, Melva, and Cornelia discuss:

• Things that stood out from the 2023 Workhuman Conference.
• Evolving your organization to 2023 with a balance of flexibility and accountability.
• Recognition and gratitude as a benefit to the company bottom line.
• Creating an equitable work experience for everyone.

Key Takeaways:

• Design your meetings around the human being. Human beings have needs and desires that are not always met in the business space.
• Open your mind. Be aware of what your real reasons are for coming back into the office. Are there areas that you need to work on that need to be worked on first?
• There is a place for both flexibility and accountability in the future of work. They are not separate categories.
• What works for one company is not going to work for every company. Be aware of your organization’s needs, be aware of your employees’ needs, and be honest with yourself about what is necessary for your organization.

"Organizations get stuck in what they do well culturally, and what has worked culturally. And they're not necessarily thinking about all of the integrations and upgrades that need to be made to actually meet the needs of five generations in the workplace." — Cornelia Shipley Bearyman

"There's not like one answer. You can't just figure out the answer. There are so many variations, and I think it's a lot of trial and error, you just have to see how it goes and not think that it has to be perfect, because it's not going to be. That's also why it's so scary." — Nozomi Morgan

"It's the small things that we think don't matter as much, or nobody's gonna notice. And sometimes those are the things that are holding us back from actually creating that experience for where we want to go." — Melva Holt
