I sat down a few weeks ago to chat with a few folks about the future of work. It has been a conversation that has been talked about endlessly. This was a bit different, though. Mark Slocum and I had the chance to discuss the topic with two renowned authors and experts on the topic - Dan Michelson and Jon Milonas. Dan and Jon would both blush a bit at being called renowned authors. But coming from someone who struggles to write two paragraphs for a weekly newsletter - they are full-fledged writers to me.

We got together to discuss Dan’s book - “Holy Shift - Moving your company forward to the future of work.” The four of us have been thrust into the Future of Work debate for quite a while. Each of us has a different perspective. We’ve all had to deal with multiple challenges related to work. We’ve had to navigate it at our companies as well as at our clients.

Tune in - we cover a lot!

The Hirewell Update, Ep 6 "Perception of Career Gaps in Corporate America"

In this week’s Talent Insights segment, we delve into the perception of career gaps in corporate America. This discussion sheds light on the common practice of candidates not updating their LinkedIn profiles to reflect career gaps, leading to potential misrepresentations of their work history.

Emily and Ryan break down both the candidate and hiring manager perspective of how career gaps are viewed on each side. While career breaks are stigmatized in corporate America, there’s a solution for it. The hosts embrace transparency and honesty from candidates, which they hope can lead to more meaningful interactions between candidates and hiring managers. Employers should view career breaks as part of a candidate’s unique journey and treat each candidate with empathy and understanding.

The TLDR; Candidates, be honest. Employers? Give candidates a break.

Does it feel like tenures are getting shorter? The data says they are. Both over the long term and the last year.

And that matches a lot of the conversations we’ve had with companies. It sure feels like more people are leaving roles in their first year. But why is that?

Despite everyone’s best intentions to fix up their onboarding and employee engagement during “The Great Resignation” era, it doesn’t look like it stuck. Jeff Smith and James Hornick discuss how we still have some work to do in episode 86 of The 10 Minute Talent Rant, "We Never Fixed The Retention Problem"
