Newsletter: April of 2022

“Where do we go from here?” 

You’re not alone if you feel like someone’s stepped on the accelerator since the beginning of 2022. The constant change and uncertainty have not subsided and employee work engagement is a record low 34% (Gallup, Jan. 2022). Smart organizations are heeding the call to address the ongoing employee retention, engagement and burnout concerns. What has this professional development investment looked like for you so far?

For Global Collaboration Insights clients, not surprisingly there has been a strong interest in crafting strategic hybrid/virtual work plans. And it goes well beyond deciding how many days to be back in the same office building. It’s about rethinking our cultures, our norms, our team accountability, our virtual capabilities, our leadership styles. To that end, many organizations have asked for additional consultation, strategic planning, executive coaching and customized facilitation this year and GCI has partnered on the following:

  • Building Better Connections Through Emotional Intelligence
  • Communicating Across Cultures
  • Strategic Staffing and Talent Management Planning
  • Accelerating Development for Engagement
  • Transformational Leadership
  • Reimagining Teamwork and Collaboration
  • Using the Right Tools and Strategies for Remote Work
  • High-Performance Remote/Hybrid Teams
  • Leadership in the Hybrid Work Environment

Looking ahead to May and June, organizations are doubling down on their commitment to leadership development, collaboration and engagement with the following initiatives:

  • Designing a Hybrid Work Culture Blueprint
  • Building a Culture of Belonging through CQ
  • Emotional Intelligence for Stress and Wellbeing
  • Essentials of Building Trust and Influence
  • Managing Conflict and Difficult Interactions
  • Coaching for Better Leadership Impact

Where are you headed? While we’re all juggling more than ever, it’s also a renewed opportunity to stretch our growth mindset and learning agility to get back into the swing of things. For me that means another year I’ve been fortunate to be selected to speak at the Association for Talent Development (ATD) International Conference – this time again alongside my co-presenter, Edith Tiencken. We’re excited to being back in front of a live audience. Keep reading to see more about our topic as well as some other learning opportunities below.
