@MervynDinnen @tfp_meetings @Workhuman @CyWakeman Great shirt too Mervyn!

A sense of #belonging is a human need, just like the need for food and shelter. It improves our motivation, wellbeing & flow experience in the #workplace and it requires active effort and practice. Let us lean in! ✨

Busy wishing that I could be attending more of the @WorkhumanLive breakout sessions... seeing tiny glimpses from other sessions on here! Alas only one set of ears!

Such great content today - in the keynote sessions and breakouts alike.

Belonging at work means:
* Being seen
* Being heard
* Being cared for, and
* Being recognised for our contributions

A timely reminder from @whirlingchief as we return to workspaces and move into our next normal. Key to remember all of these #WHLive2021

[James Parsons @HR_Jim]

Life doesn't happen in silos. We need to come alongside employees in every life stage.

However you look at it, a professional life and personal life go hand in hand. They happen concurrently and not in isolation.

Organisations need to support greater Clarity, Confidence, Competence and Connections to enable the bridging of the Leadership Gap -

This card is 9 years old, try and keep up please Mr Grant 😏 #WHLive2021

[James Parsons @HR_Jim]

This hit home. Certainly one to think on further and remember in the future - did I lack impediment to get here compared to someone else?
#WHLive2021

[James Parsons @HR_Jim]

Privilege is not necessarily being given a leg up, it can simply be the absence of impediment.

It’s an important reminder to use to check yourself if you’re told you have privilege.

Recognition of difference not necessarily judgement for this.

“The perfect feedback sandwich never tastes as good as it looks.”

Waiting to give feedback is unlikely to improve the flavour!

Be open the receiving feedback, even when it’s hard, whenever it is given.

[Jennifer McClure @JenniferMcClure]

What if we were to ban the idea of Best Practices?

This implies there's an end point.

Instead, commit to searching for Better Practices.

This frees people to continue learning, experiment, and try new things.

[James Parsons @HR_Jim]

Peer recognition is good, but does it get used across all business groups? Are some groups more likely to recognise others or be recognised? What happens in my organisation? Great to be challenged about this by Navin #WHLive2021

[James Parsons @HR_Jim]

@CRWDiversity great insights in your discussion with Steve today.

[James Parsons @HR_Jim]

Great reminder from Celeste Warren that just because an external trend doesn’t seem to be affecting your organisation this doesn’t mean that now is not the right time to begin to address it #WHLIVE2021

[James Parsons @HR_Jim]

Terrible service from @IKEAUK and @IKEAUKSupport over the last 3 weeks - 4 failed deliveries, multiple lies, hung up on by support staff and our Pax wardrobe delivery is still not complete. It seems no one can find our missing item or honour a commitment. But happy to have our 💷

@WforWBibleComic Should’ve gone to Nineveh

[James Parsons @HR_Jim]

@Peterwalks So. So good

[James Parsons @HR_Jim]

@Peterwalks Currently listening to this with Mrs P - very good so far!
