Embracing the Culture Era: An Updated Guide to Leading Today’s New Workforce

Amidst the continued challenges of attracting and retaining talent, leaders are grappling with disengaged employees who no longer respond to traditional management styles. The former one-size-fits-all approach has become obsolete as today’s team members each require a personalized care plan. This demands more time and attention from already overloaded leaders, who have the most influence on whether people stay or go.

We must prioritize culture and lead differently to meet the unique needs of today’s workforce. Join us to explore the new Magnet Culture guide to create a place where people want to work.

We will also dispel myths about younger workers’ perceived lack of professionalism and work ethic.

Workforce Wake-Up Call: It's Time to Recalibrate Our Work World

Finding and keeping lasting talent today is harder than ever because the employer-employee relationship has evolved dramatically since the days of lifelong pensions. While organizations can reduce employee turnover, they cannot eliminate it, which means staffing challenges – and their financial impact – are here to stay. We’ve reached a tipping point now where managers and employees can no longer “do more with less,” and still meet organizational goals and customer expectations, so bold changes are needed moving forward for organizations planning to remain in business.

While many industries have normalized business practices that are no longer effective for managing today’s new workforce, executives hold the power to recalibrate to a more sustainable approach that balances operations and our people. Join us to explore the new Magnet Culture guide to operationalize unavoidable turnover and keep the staff we cannot afford to lose by creating a place where people want to work.

  • Explore the perspective of today’s new hires to avoid the growing disconnect between leaders and staff
  • Reconsider organizational priorities, budgets, and systems to improve ROI on retention initiatives
  • Create sustainability by determining improvements to workloads, organizational structure, and compensation
