Description
Episode #233 // Workforce layoffs have continued in the US, as large companies trim the fat in advance of the recession that looks likely to head our way. But the latest data on economic growth and jobs are more positive than most commentators expected.Europe is leading the way, with some better than expected growth figures, and the US added almost 600,000 jobs to the economy in January, which will keep an already tight labor market highly strung. So, with US unemployment at a 50-plus-year low, it could be a seller’s market for some time to come.Meanwhile, we continue to field questions every day from listeners who are navigating their own challenges, with a backdrop of highly-complex and fast-moving shifts in workforce dynamics.In today’s Q&A episode, we’re going to look at some of the phenomena that you’re likely to be wrestling with at the moment, starting with the new push to establish the 4-day work week as a standard in many companies.We also take on the difficult topic of shift workers. How do you get shift workers engaged in training and development, when they’re (quite rightly) focused on critical front-line, or customer-facing activities? ————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/yourceomentorYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor ————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.
