The document proposes creating an Employee Relations Division (ERD) to address millennial employees' desires for growth, transparency, and appreciation. The ERD would develop growth opportunities and promote communication between managers and employees. It would also organize employee recognition events like an employee of the month chosen by peers, with the goal of fostering employee growth, appreciation, and retention. Implementing the ERD could save companies time and money while attracting millennial talent and rewarding employees.
I have always been fascinated with what makes people tick! Why one manager / leader, seems to keep the team humming and on track, whilst another seems to demoralise and derail it. Whilst Personality and personal preferences can heavily influence motivation and organisational growth, intentional strategies and workplace culture is the key to long-term, sustainable growth in teams.
There is no "one size fits all" when motivating individuals. What I deem as a motivating influence, may not be important to you; however, we all require some level of motivation. Even highly motivated people need stimulus along the journey.
What and how to provide that stimulus, depends on having more than a working knowledge of your people. Good leaders have a genuine interest in each member of the team, and provide tailor-made motivation consistent with each ones needs and desires.
With over 35 years of investment into non profit organisations, I can assure you that the key factors used in motivating corporate employees, aren't always transferable. Members of none profit organisations often invest their skills, talents and labour for free. Their talents, treasure and time are invested into a vision or cause without specific recompense. Motivating such individuals are factors of a qualitative nature rather than quantitative.
The key factor in motivating others is to "influence behaviour". Achieving organisational goals are dependent on mobilising individuals to achieve pre-determined and strategic outcomes. The longevity of such, is dependent on the retention and inspiration (outworked via motivation) which team members show.
So what motivates you?
There is no right or wrong motivator, as we must keep in mind that the reason for providing motivation is to influence behaviour. These changes in behaviour serve a common purpose or organisational outcome. As mentioned earlier, none profit organisations provide an ethos, belief or objective which is central to its cause. Providing tangible evidence of advancement, positive change and outcomes are the lifeblood to motivating its people.
Here are some key motivators which influence behaviour.
In summary, success in your endeavors requires a combination of goal-setting, efficient work habits, resilience in the face of challenges, a strong support system, a willingness to learn from failures, adaptability, and celebrating achievements. Apply these strategies to unlock your potential for passionate and fulfilling success.

This document summarizes research presented at the 2015 Nonprofit Technology Conference on developing a predictive model for fundraising. The research involved surveying 900 advocacy nonprofits about their 2013 fundraising practices and matching responses with IRS data. Key findings included that certain practices like giving clubs, matching campaigns, and consistent conditional asks were associated with higher revenue. Experience of the development director also correlated with increased fundraising, whereas board participation and executive tenure did not. Limitations of the research were noted and next steps proposed further analyzing correlations and sharing findings.

Abstract: Creating an environment where self-organizing teams thrive and perform can be challenging; you’ve tried
adjusting the composition of the team, introducing communication tools, facilitating resolution of conflict, providing feedback training, etc. yet engagement is not where you want it and you are looking for ways to boost performance.
The good news is that there is science available to help change leaders understand why they are not getting the
outcomes they hoped for with their teams. In this talk, one of the authors of the Harvard Business Review-published
Team Emotional Intelligence (TEI) concept and an enterprise transformation coach explain the next generation team
framework, called Inspired Agile Teams, which builds on TEI. At the end of this session, participants will understand
how leaders and coaches can create an environment where teams can transcend high performance and unleash the
teams to delight customers and create breakthrough performance. They will also take away practical tools for
creating Inspired Agile Teams.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the science behind Team Emotional Intelligence and Inspired Teams
2. Appreciate the subtle, yet critical "soft" factors affecting team relationships in a dynamic workplace
3. Identify the four conditions essential to team performance and how to foster these in your own organization

This was a final interview presentation deck for the Creative Director position at gyro: in Manchester. I was down to the last two candidates and I was asked to present my 'best' piece of work - meaning, a piece of work where I was at my best. So I chose the New Balance brand proposition pitch and toolkit development I creatively led for nine months during 2016 at ZAK.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
This presentation was developed years ago for me to share with a group of students regarding my personal view of the topic. However, I see it could be beneficial for anyone who has an interest in managing their talents with some pretty good viewpoints.
The document was a product of combining multiple knowledge sources and my personal experience and experiment through over my 10-years of living my professional life as an HR professional (until that time). For some reason, I had not stated some of the sources of knowledge (That’s my bad and I am so sorry for that) – So, be careful if you have the intention to extract some of the knowledge here for making money.
Hope this collection of ideas and practices will be useful for you in ways that nurture people around you.
The Real Secret to Retaining Talent.pptxsaurav630622
This document discusses how to retain talented employees. It argues that while compensation is important, feeling special and valued is more significant for highly skilled workers. The key ways to show talented staff they are valued are: 1) Never dismiss their ideas, as they are deeply invested in developing their skills; 2) Never block their development, as they will leave for opportunities elsewhere; and 3) Never pass up chances to praise them, as recognition is important to prevent resentment or them drifting away. Treating talented employees as individuals, not just members of a group, is important for retention.
This document provides a summary of lessons in team leadership that can be learned from the 2014 Sochi Olympics. It discusses the importance of teamwork, passion, personal accountability, and other "soft skills" in achieving success. The document emphasizes that preparation, effort, determination and resilience are key to winning, both in sports and business. It also stresses the importance of culture, emotional control, coaching skills and learning from setbacks. The overall message is that common-sense lessons about teams, effort and heart can be applied from the Olympics to leadership in organizations.
This document outlines the methodology of Managing The Mist, a consulting firm that helps organizations create "mist-free" high performance cultures during change initiatives. The methodology involves 5 rules: 1) getting organizational house in order by aligning strategies, processes and behaviors; 2) asking employees for input instead of just telling them changes; 3) developing leaders to step back and focus on continuous improvement; 4) embracing failure so employees are not afraid to take risks; 5) holding each other accountable through feedback and evaluation of actions and results. The firm uses experiential learning techniques to build high performance cultures and measures impact to ensure a return on investment.

Many companies have perceived CRM that accompanied by numerous
uncoordinated initiatives as a technological solution for problems in
individual areas. However, CRM should be considered as a strategy when
a company decides to implement it due to its humanitarian, technological
and process-related effects (Mendoza et al., 2007, p. 913). CRM is
evolving today as it should be seen as a strategy for maintaining a longterm relationship with customers.
A CRM business strategy includes the internet with the marketing,
sales, operations, customer services, human resources, R&D, finance, and
information technology departments to achieve the company’s purpose and
maximize the profitability of customer interactions (Chen and Popovich,
2003, p. 673).

companies can typically face significant losses in their sales performance,

m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...LinghuaKong2
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge.The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition.The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.

Corporate innovation with Startups made simple with Pitchworks VC StudioGokul Rangarajan
In this write up we will talk about why corporates need to innovate, why most of them of failing and need to startups and corporate start collaborating with each other for survival
At the end of the conversation the CIO asked us 3 questions which sparked us to write this blog.
1 Do my organisation need innovation ?
2 Even if I need Innovation why are so many other corporates of our size fail in innovation ?
3 How can I test it in most cost effective way ?
First let's address the Elephant in the room, is Innovation optional ?
Relevance for customers
Building Business Reslience
competitive advantage
Corporate innovation is essential for businesses striving to remain relevant and competitive in today's rapidly evolving market. By continuously developing new products, services, and processes, companies can better meet the changing needs and preferences of their customers. For instance, Apple's regular release of new iPhone models keeps them at the forefront of consumer technology, while Amazon's introduction of Prime services has revolutionized online shopping convenience. Statistics show that innovative companies are 2.5 times more likely to have high-performance outcomes compared to their peers.
This proactive approach not only helps in retaining existing customers but also attracts new ones, ensuring sustained growth and market presence.
Furthermore, innovation fosters a culture of creativity and adaptability within organizations, enabling them to quickly respond to emerging trends and disruptions. In essence, corporate innovation is the driving force that keeps companies aligned with customer expectations, ultimately leading to long-term success and relevance.
Business Resilience
Building business resilience is paramount for companies looking to thrive amidst uncertainties and disruptions. Corporate innovation plays a crucial role in fostering this resilience by enabling businesses to adapt, evolve, and maintain continuity during challenging times. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies that swiftly innovated their business models, such as shifting to remote work or expanding e-commerce capabilities, managed to survive and even thrive.
