With #COVID19, #HR teams are being overworked, overburdened and are being failed by the #tech they use. See how we can help you build a system with @ServiceNow that reflects this new world: #career #ServiceNow #Know20 #Know20Tips https://t.co/jCHdHKJS2u

@LisaLint Miss you, too. Hope you’ve been having a great summer!

[Christen McFerrin @cbgmcferrin]

@clairecm Thank you — I love your research and articles. Pay equity is obviously a topic near and dear to my heart!

[Christen McFerrin @cbgmcferrin]

A1 First & foremost - pay transparency!

I'm a big @clairecm fan - this is an oldie but goodie & breaks it all down. https://t.co/2OY6frrFFq

@RobinSchooling Absolutely! #mercerchats

🙌 Louder for those in the back! #mercerchats

A7: one of the challenges in the US is how we tie medical benefits to employment (if we could solve THAT imagine the boon for the gigsters) #mercerchats

[Christen McFerrin @cbgmcferrin]

A7 Are projects being communicated? Do managers let employees know of these opportunities? (That should be their responsibility, since communication tends to be top > down and not lateral.) Do workloads get shifted to provide that time? #mercerchats

@Jlmerrick 😆

[Christen McFerrin @cbgmcferrin]

@LisaLint And it goes both ways - as ppl leave, they can either be a referral or a deterrent when it comes a company acquiring new talent. Someone may have left for reasons beyond "I hated that place" and could be a great source of new talent referrals!

@guzmand Give it a couple decades. Then Gen-Z is going to be talking about how we focus too much on health and need to stop working earlier in life. 🤷‍♀️ #mercerchats

[Christen McFerrin @cbgmcferrin]

👇 Only 14% of employees say health is a talent-management concern. 🤯 #mercerchats

A4b) Good read that shows how you should consider the whole person, personalize to differentiate, mine all available data sources & deliver to each audience: https://t.co/MXjBPUujUi

A6 There are MANY factors that contribute to a turnover rate & not all are generation-specific culturally. The points made in this report resonate w/ me. Work takes up too much of life to be pure drudgery. https://t.co/LobAkI6GVS #mercerchats

[Christen McFerrin @cbgmcferrin]

A4 Some studies say wellness programs are ineffective. The question is, did companies provide & support time/space for wellness or was it lip service/empty policy? Let's ask employees what they want & provide it. #mercerchats https://t.co/inxy0ty8jQ

[Christen McFerrin @cbgmcferrin]

Psychological safety is a great point. You want feedback, let people speak freely. You want an echo chamber? Scare them into being compliant. #mercerchats

[Lisa Lint @LisaLint]

A2. Don’t tell employees what they want and need, ask them what they want and need! A pulse survey is a great way to learn how employees are experiencing the workplace. Just make sure you ask the right questions and be prepared for the answers. #MercerChats

[Christen McFerrin @cbgmcferrin]

A3 Active rather than passive management. Sometimes you have to manage people out, sometimes up. Embrace the #millennial need for regular feedback. Give a 👍 or

[Christen McFerrin @cbgmcferrin]

@RobinSchooling Or expect mind-reading. 🔮 #mercerchats

[Christen McFerrin @cbgmcferrin]

A2a We're trapped in the mindset of the workplace being an office surrounding by coworkers. Ppl work in a variety of places. More ppl are embracing #flexwork so our workplace is a couch, a coffee shop, etc. Feedback modes should reflect that.#mercerchats

[Christen McFerrin @cbgmcferrin]

@RobinSchooling Exactly! How can you fix a mistake 6 months later??
