Today we're talking about why the post-lockdown 'new normal' way of working in businesses is looking so similar to the old version - and why that's such a big problem. At the Lockdown Leadership Conference we discovered that people were passionate about creating a new way of working as we exit lockdown. But it's simply not happening.

And how can we rescue the situation?

What You'll Cover In This Episode:

Why the personality type of who is leading your return-to-work plans could make up to half of your staff unhappy
The three hidden risks of not communicating your plans with your teams
Why going back to 'business as usual' risks costing you your rising stars
The accidental way many companies' return-to-work plans could widen the gender pay gap and decrease diversity
How to solve this problem - by pressing 'pause' for just two days

How To Bring Up The Subject Of Imposter Syndrome When You Think A Colleague Might Be Struggling With It 16:12

for 4 years siden16:12

16:12

One of the things I'm asked most often by leaders, at the end of a keynote, is how to bring up the subject of Imposter Syndrome with a colleague or team member - and then what to do to help them. It's so easy to freeze, or talk ourselves out of broaching it, or worry that the other person will react badly, or that we won't know what to say or do next... ... So we avoid it. And that leaves the person stuck. It perpetuates the taboo. And we feel bad, because we wanted to make a difference. So in today's Soul Led Leaders podcast episode I'm going to share with you what you can do, mistakes to avoid, and how to find out what to do to move beyond 'tea and sympathy' if you've got it right and the person wants help. In today's episode of the Soul Led Leaders podcast, you'll discover: Why we bottle it! The risks of getting it wrong The two things you must (I don't use that word lightly!) do, before you take that deep breath and leap in How to start the conversation The five super-common mistakes to avoid And how to actually help the person to turn things around Show notes and the gift PDF training I mention are here: soulledleaders.fm/27/…

As people are heading back into the office, bringing with them the impact of 18+ months of chronic stress, anxiety, and burnout warning signs, there has never been a more important time to proactively support mental health in the workplace.

But is training up Mental Health First-Aiders enough? And why might that be leaving things too late?

Getting Buy-In For Flexible Working, Even From The Skeptical – Interview With Emma Francis 22:53

for 4 years siden22:53

22:53

Lack of flexible working was found in the 2019 Imposter Syndrome Research Study to be one of three hidden drivers of the gender pay gap. The increased out-of-hours commitment so often required in senior roles and the difficulty in fitting work around family was shown to disproportionately disadvantage women with school-aged children. So Zurich Insurance decided to take bold action. Driven by data and a passion for diversity and inclusion, they have now succeeded in making 80% of their UK roles part time, flexi-time or job-share. And far from having a negative impact on the bottom line, they've seen astonishing results. They're making measurable progress on closing the gender pay gap, and their employee engagement and satisfaction have increased. And all of this was during the challenges of the 2020/21 Covid-19 lockdowns. In this candid and action-inspiring interview, Emma Francis - Head of Diversity & Inclusion for Zurich Insurance - shares: what prompted them to take action how they got buy-in from the key decision-makers what people's concerns or initial objections were how they overcame them the benefits they have seen - it's not just gender equity what advice Emma would give other companies who might be considering this route Shownotes are here and you can catch each interview from the #MakingHybridWork Lockdown Leadership Conference 2021 by registering free here .…
