Last month, our team rolled out our upgraded productivity training for a client who mentioned they spend a LOT of time in meetings and answering emails. Think 20 hours . This got us thinking about how to work through that common workplace wrinkle. Based on that friction point, we noticed this was due to a lack of… Anticipation. Anticipating our clients' or colleagues' needs can help save time on our daily, weekly, or monthly tasks. Here are three examples to get the ball rolling: 1️⃣ Before clicking "send" on that email, anticipate the receiver's response and include the necessary information in the initial email to get ahead of it. 2️⃣ Before adding another meeting to your team's calendar, anticipate what information people will ask and prep an agenda that answers those questions. 3️⃣ Before heading to your work site, anticipate any issues that will occur on-site that day or week and create an action plan to course correct. #TeamBuilding #SkillsGap #SoftSkills

Are you truly living your organization’s claim? Maybe you claim your company is a “family-first organization” or that people are your greatest asset. We love to see this! But now you have to back it up, right? Think about your infrastructure. That’s all the places where you measure up to that claim. So, let’s say, as a family-first organization, you offer your employees family-friendly benefits like a flexible work schedule. Now, think of the norm. This is what your people would say about your organization when you're not in the room. 👀 The idea is to make all these principles–your claim, infrastructure, and norm–equal. So you’re not just claiming that your organization is a people-first organization, but your efforts are truly building up your people. Thank you, Adriana Vaccaro, MBA, SHRM - SPC, for sharing this concept with our team! #LeadershipTips #WorkPlaceCulture #LearnAndGrow

What do you think your most productive day looks like? And how does it differ from a comfortable day? Does it include knocking out all the meetings or finding time to focus on a single task or activity that lights you up? Recently, our team spent some time considering this question. By expressing our thoughts via illustration (that’s right, markers and paper sheets work!), we connected to our work and visualized what’s important throughout our day. Give it a try with your team! DM us for more details. #Productivity #TeamBuilding #LearnAndGrow

This summer, we had a blast gardening at Honey Nut Farm in Hopkinton, MA! It’s where we realized that planting a garden and growing your business has so much in common. Once you plant the “seed,” it takes a lot of nurturing, care, and elbow grease to help that plant grow so it blossoms, and that mindset is exactly what it takes to grow a company and its people. Plus, they even sent us home with a ton of fresh goodies. We like to call that a win-win! If you’re interested in volunteering at Honey Nut Farm, check them out here: https://honeynutfarm.com/ #Massachusetts #Team #TeamBuilding

“Providing our employees with the same attention, resources, and five-star service we extend to our clients creates a work culture where they feel valued, have the tools to do their best work, and gain a deep understanding of their role in achieving business goals.” We couldn’t agree more with Krysta Van Ranst as she spills the secret sauce behind engaging and retaining employees in her Training magazine article. 🔗 Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gG2uf8eA #EmployeeRetention #EmployeeEngagement #WorkPlaceCulture #LearnAndGrow
