Creating Career Pathways to Unlock Opportunity for the Workforce of the Future with Matthew Daniel

Impact Makers Podcast Episode 064

Are you retaining talent by developing and moving them into other opportunities that benefit both their career and the organization?

Data shows that the more we invest in developing and seeing those opportunities for other people to move around the organization, the greater the loyalty to the company, and the greater the retention.

In this episode, Matthew Daniel shares great insights into how leaders can create career pathways to unlock opportunities for their workforce. Matthew is the Principal Consultant of Talent Strategy and Mobility at Guild Education, a company that partners with forward-thinking organizations to transform education into strategic talent advantage, especially for their frontline.

The entirety of Matthew’s career has been about investing in others, seeing them grow, and trying to match them up with opportunities so they can go big, and do bigger and better things.

Listen to our lively discussion and learn why investing in your workforce also makes good business sense.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:​​

  • Guild Education’s new model for creating a win-win situation for both employers and employees when it comes to career growth.
  • How Walmart’s Live Better U has contributed to an 87% increase in promotions for Black employees, and 71% increase in promotions for Hispanic employees versus those not enrolled in the program.
  • What leaders should be doing today to develop the talent that they’ll need in the future.
  • Three things that employees truly want from their work and workplace.
  • How effective internal talent mobility programs and processes can positively impact loyalty, retention and financial metrics of a company.
  • Why not building a talent base in your organization that reflects the consumer population is a recipe for disaster.

Everybody’s talking about the metaverse these days, but Workplace from Meta is different – I mean, the clue’s in the name, right?

Workplace is a business communication tool that uses features like instant messaging and video calls to help people share information. Think Facebook, but for your company.

It’s part of Meta’s vision for the future of work – a future in which your job isn’t just something you do, but something you EXPERIENCE. A future in which we’ll all feel more present, connected, and productive.

Defining Return on Workforce Investment in the Future of Work with Dr. Alexander Alonso

Impact Makers Podcast Episode 063

Did you know that leaders are much more likely to engage in quiet quitting than their actual workers?

They are showing signs of fatigue without any kind of recognition or remuneration for what they’ve done to lead others.

How does this impact the future of work? And what can the leaders of leaders do to help mitigate quiet quitting?

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Alexander Alonso, the Chief Knowledge Officer for the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), who shares some valuable insights into reinventing the future of work.

The good news? You don’t have to be an HR leader to get something out of our discussion.

We talked about what research shows has changed over the last couple of years in regards to how employees view the workplace, and what they’re looking for employers to provide them that differs from the past.

I also learned several new things in our discussion, including what it means to “Get Netflixed”, what the acronym GESHWI means – and how we’ll all be using it – and the price that some people are willing to pay for being petty at work, as well as the benefits of learning how to discuss taboo subjects in the workplace.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:​​

  • The effects of focusing proactively on mental wellness in the workplace.
  • Why leaders are more likely to engage in “quiet quitting” than those who work for them.
  • What employees are looking to employers to provide them today, that differs from the past.
  • What GESHWI means, and how it correlates to EBITDA.
  • What it means to “Get Netflixed”, and why you don’t want that for your company.
