Rich, Thank you so much for expanding the conversation and talking about constructive feedback and discouraging of cynicism. So agree with you!

Do you have some favorite onboarding best practices? I always love to collect and spread those 😉

Recruiting and On-boarding are often overlooked for their impact on new employees . The ROI with on-boarding is the highest of any ‘training’ investment a company will make on an employee. Turnover also happens most often early in an employee’s tenure with a company., especially if on-boarding is done poorly.

Another critical element toward optimizing culture is the importance of emphasizing positive, constructive feedback on new ideas and approaches from peers and leaders, and the discouragement of cynicism. Cynicism is very popular today but in fact adds nothing beneficial to a company culture. It is often seen as an entitlement, especially when it is infused with what may be considered ‘humorous’ sarcasm. But once a direction is agreed upon and a decision is made, cynicism, and second guessing are undermining, counter-productive and distracting. Our well-trained military, regardless of whether you agree with their current use or not, is a great example of teams all ‘rowing in the same direction.’

Sharon, Thanks so much for weighing in, and I totally AGREE with you! Diversity is so important and it is so true that Gen Z is the most progressively diverse generation so far. Aligning and recruiting for values does not mean you can’t attract a highly diverse workforce, which is what I was trying to articulate in terms of the balance of diversity of perspective and experiences.

I’m really glad you reinforced this point– I should have called it out more boldly. Glad you did! I hope you will join in future conversations as well. Thanks! Karin

Gen Z is the most progressively diverse generation in history. They place great value in the diversity culture in a company and, in many cases, it is factored into their decision to join and even remain with a company. And it is in a company’s best interest to be diverse anyway. According to the latest McKinsey Report, companies that are more diverse and reflect the communities they serve earn a full 35 percent more than their competition. Diversity counts!

Thanks so much Terri. I’m so glad to hear that. I’ve also heard the opposite, “why bother developing people who will leave” which can lead to a very slippery slope.

Several organizations I am working with now are experiencing this phenomenon. What they have decided to do is offer professional development and ways for their employees to learn new skills. And the employees feel more valued when they can leave their work and spend time developing their careers.

Thanks Karin for a great interview and article!
