The Great Resignation - The Top 10 Reason Employees Are QuittingStan Phelps
Why "The Great Resignation?" The Top 10 reasons why employees are quitting at record levels.
Nearly 3% of the workforce quit their jobs in October. That's over 4 million resignation letters. And it is just shy of the record set the month before.
Here are the top 10 contributing reasons and 3 factors that I believe are negligible…
1. Horrible Bosses - 70% of workers who voluntarily resign don't quit their job... they quit their boss.
Here was a comment from the CEO of SHRM Johnny C. Taylor, Jr.,
“People don't leave jobs, they leave bad managers and bad cultures. The pandemic has shown many of us what truly matters, and what truly matters is PEOPLE. Employees want to feel valued and appreciated. They want to feel like they belong. And it's time for workplace leaders to step up.”
2. Lack of freedom - Many workers have been remote over the last two years. They've gotten used to work-from-home. Namely less stress and greater flexibility. Now many are being mandated to go back to the office.
3. Friends - According to Gallup, “Those who [have a best friend at work] are seven times as likely to be engaged in their jobs." The pandemic has weakened work relationships.
4. Peer Pressure - You can't discount the "knock-on" effect of job-hopping. All of a sudden you start seeing coworkers or friends quitting in droves. You begin to question it yourself.
5. Generational - Millennials and GenZ are now the vast majority of workers. They don't see work the same way as previous generations. Job hopping isn't a black mark any longer.
6. Mo' Money - In the words of Ray DuBeau Jr., "Money is the conduit that allows people to live their lives. Companies and industries that are offering above-market rates aren't experiencing the great resignation."
7. Start-Up Boom - Americans started 4.3 million businesses last year, a 24% increase from the year before and by far the most in the 15 years that the government has kept track. Applications are on a pace to be even higher this year.
8. Childcare - lack of it has forced workers, particularly women, from reentering the workforce.
9. Upskilling - According to Lon Graham, “During the pandemic, a lot of people enrolled in online classes, online training, and other skill-building activities. The one's who did are now worth more to the marketplace and are leaving current jobs for the jobs they qualified themselves to get.”
10. Purpose - According to Margarita Andryushenko, “If an employee doesn’t feel like they’re making a difference or if the work they are doing actually matters, that’s a big deal-breaker right there. People want to feel connected and important to the work they’re doing.”
... and 3 reasons that aren't valid in my view: Vaccine Mandates, Handouts, and Gig Work.
What other factors are contributing? Please share in the comments.
This presentation discusses:
1. Background on Artificial Intelligence (AI)
2. How is reshaping Human Resources practices and processes, with emphasis on talent acquisition and learning & development.
3. New skills that HR professionals need in this new ERA
Now a days every organization has HR Software but some of those don't know how AI will help to Human resource tasks.
You are may be already aware about what is AI but here we have explained about how Artificial Intelligence help to HR (Human resource) to make simplify task.

Is this what the future of high-volume recruitment will look like? We hope so!
Let's take a look at how AI can save high-volume recruitment.
AI for recruiting is the application of artificially intelligent abilities such as learning or problem-solving designed to automate some part of the recruiting workflow.
In 7 steps we take a look at the impact of AI technology on recruitment.
Step 1: Your job posting receives receives hundreds of resumes which get collected by your ATS. On average, 75% of the candidates are unqualified.
Step 2: AI recruitment in the form of automated resume screening technology instantly grades and shortlists the qualified 25% of candidates for you.
Step 3: With a click of a button, you can set up interviews with qualified candidates using an auto-dialer, auto-texter, or auto-emailer.
Step 4: AI recruitment in the form of a chatbot can help you engage with candidates by answering their questions about the job and providing them with feedback about their applications.
Step 5: AI recruitment in the form of video interview technology uses algorithms to analyze candidates’ emotions, word choices, and personality traits to help you assess whether they’d be a good fit for the job.
Step 6: You can interview candidates online in real time or watch pre-recorded interviews on your own time. With a click of a button, you can invite candidates to an in-person interview or hire them based on their video interview.
Step 7: By automating or streamlining parts of your recruiting workflow, AI recruitment allows you to spend more of your valuable time engaging with candidates and partnering with hiring managers to make better hires, faster.

Your Approach to
Hiring Is All Wrong
B U S I N E S S E S H AV E N E V E R done as much hiring as they do today.
They’ve never spent as much money doing it. And they’ve never
done a worse job of it.
For most of the post–World War II era, large corporations went
about hiring this way: Human resources experts prepared a detailed
job analysis to determine what tasks the job required and what
attributes a good candidate should have. Next they did a job evalu-
ation to determine how the job fit into the organizational chart and
how much it should pay, especially compared with other jobs. Ads
were posted, and applicants applied. Then came the task of sorting
through the applicants. That included skills tests, reference checks,
maybe personality and IQ tests, and extensive interviews to learn
more about them as people. William H. Whyte, in The Organization
Man, described this process as going on for as long as a week before

Outsourcing and algorithms won’t
get you the people you need.
50 Harvard Business ReviewMay–June 2019
subcontractors can scan websites that
programmers might visit, trace their
“digital exhaust” from cookies and
other user-tracking measures to iden-
tify who they are, and then examine
their curricula vitae.
At companies that still do their own
recruitment and hiring, managers
trying to fill open positions are largely
left to figure out what the jobs require
and what the ads should say. When
applications come—always electron-
ically—applicant-tracking software
sifts through them for key words that
the hiring managers want to see. Then
the process moves into the Wild West,
where a new industry of vendors offer
an astonishing array of smart-sounding
tools that claim to predict who will be
a good hire. They use voice recogni-
tion, body language, clues on social
media, and especially machine learning
algorithms—everything but tea leaves.
Entire publications are devoted to what
these vendors are doing.
The big problem with all these new
practices is that we don’t know whether
they actually produce satisfactory hires.
Only about a third of U.S. companies
report that they monitor whether their
hiring practices lead to good employees;
few of them do so carefully, and only
a minority even track cost per hire and
time to hire. Imagine if the CEO asked
how an advertising campaign had gone,
and the response was “We have a good
idea how long it took to roll out and
what it cost, but we haven’t looked to
see whether we’re selling more.”
Hiring talent remains the number
one concern of CEOs in the most recent
Conference Board Annual Survey;
it’s also the top concern of the entire
executive suite. PwC’s 2017 CEO survey

Millennials are growing up...and have taken over majority status in today's workforce. As a result, if you lead a company, odds are you have a significant block of employees who fall in this category within your organization. You have probably likewise concluded that this group is a breed apart from those you’ve previously dealt with…so when it comes to constructing an effective pay plan, you’re at a loss. Among other things, you may have bought into the conventional wisdom that says millennials are not loyal to a company and therefore traditional forms of pay won’t appeal to them.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Working the Great Resignation:
How Employers Can Transform
Things to their Advantage
Transcript of a discussion on new research into why one of the tightest labor markets the world has ever
seen means a transition to a more healthy and sustainable environment for employee well-being.
Listen to the podcast. Find it on iTunes. Download the transcript. Sponsor: Citrix.
Dana Gardner: Hi, this is Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions, and you’re
listening to BriefingsDirect.
The so-called great resignation has anywhere from half to two-thirds of U.S. workers looking for
something other than their current situation. Whatever the percentage, there’s no question that
workers across the board have and continue to quit in droves.
And whether the exit is due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the culmination of decades of various
trends, or some combination, the bottom line is that employers need to give workers better
reasons to remain.
Stay with us now as we explore new research into why one of the tightest labor markets the
world has ever seen means an end to business as usual. We’ll explore ways that the shifting
expectations of employees may lead to a transformation of work -- that can work to everyone’s
advantage.
To learn more about the transition to a healthier and more sustainable environment for
employee well-being and satisfaction, please welcome our guests. We’re here with Amy
Haworth, Senior Director of Employee Experience at Citrix. Welcome back, Amy.
Amy Haworth: Hi, Dana, it’s great to be here.
Gardner: We’re also here with Melissa Swift, U.S. and Canada
Transformations Services Leader at Mercer. Welcome,
Melissa.
Melissa Swift: It’s great to be here.
Gardner: Amy, the latest research Citrix sponsored into the
future of work provides new insights into the great resignation.
Are there some myths that people have been holding onto?
Were you surprised by the survey results?
Haworth: The question on everyone’s mind right now,
especially our leaders, is what’s happening? Why are people leaving?
And so, Citrix undertook some recent research because we had a hypothesis that some of the
exit is due to burnout and some might be due to freak-outs. We found that 35 percent of the
Haworth
2. Page 2 of 12
respondents to our survey say burnout is the cause of them leaving a job, but only 6 percent
said that they panicked and made an emotionally-driven decision.
I also found it interesting that 33 percent left a job just because they wanted to try something
new. Some 13 percent saw it as a way to inject certainty into their future.
These data points help both human resources (HR) leaders, and leaders in general, figure out
the root cause of the exodus. If we know, for example, that 33 percent just want to try something
new then we might be able to do something with that inside of our organizations before they
ever walk out the door.
A big hypothesis I hear among leaders inside and outside of our own organization is that there’s
something around the salary bubble and this tight competitive labor market. The going rate for
many roles is becoming higher and higher. But according to our research, that’s not what’s
inspiring workers to seek new roles. Actually, 53 percent of those who had left their role took a
pay cut. The drive for more money isn’t necessarily at the heart of why people are making these
changes. And I think that’s also an important thing for organizations to be aware of.
Gardner: Because we’re over a year-and-a-half into COVID, this isn’t a knee-jerk reaction. And
they’re not just looking to make a quick increase in their salary. This seems to be a strategic,
long-term, thoughtful type of reaction. Is that your takeaway?
Workers want to make the most of their time, talents
Haworth: Definitely. One of the things that we have probably all experienced ourselves, as well
as seen in our colleagues, is a lot of self-reflection. You know, what drives us to get up and
make the most of our lives, of our talents, and of our time. What sort of experiences are we
looking to have during our lifespan?
We’re seeing this reflected in the labor market around the choices people are making. There’s a
curiosity and a desire to explore and maybe take a little bit of risk. We found that 60 percent of
the respondents joined start-ups and accepted equity in exchange for salary. That’s new and
unprecedented.
Gardner: Melissa, from your perspective at Mercer, and through the research you have done,
do you agree that the great resignation is not just a blip on the screen, but is more momentous?
What’s Behind the Global Worker Shortage
And How to Mitigate the Impact to Your Business
Swift: Yes, absolutely. Interestingly, we did some surveying – what we call an inside the
employees’ minds survey -- where we spoke to 2,000 people about their thinking about leaving
their roles. What needs did they have that were not being met?
Normally from our benchmark data, about 28 percent of people say they are thinking about
leaving their roles -- and that’s exactly, to the percentage point, what we observed in the latest
data from our survey. Yet it feels like nearly everybody is moving, but in reality, it’s the same
proportion of people who have always considering resigning.
3. Page 3 of 12
The difference we’re seeing then is, do they then pull the trigger and quit? Is there more
willingness to get up and move? That’s where the data Amy is citing – about the underlying
motivations for moving – is really fascinating and resonates well with what we have seen in our
research, too.
Gardner: Tell us about Mercer, and why these human capital issues are critical and essential
for your business.
Swift: We are the consultancy that’s looking to change
-- and make better -- the world of work. We have a
deep heritage in analytically driven solutions and in
understanding the dynamics of pay markets, job
architecture, and employee experience.
From a data and analytics point of view, what’s exciting
about the work Mercer is doing now is in taking that
legacy of deep analysis and contextualizing it to the
transformation challenges of today. We’re examining
what we can do that’s fundamentally anchored in real
evidence that’s going to genuinely change
organizations.
Gardner: How should businesses transform
themselves to take advantage of these changes? Amy,
are workers essentially providing a new set of
requirements about their workplace and habits? How should employers react?
Haworth: The power has shifted in a lot of ways. Employee voices are beginning to shape
organizational environments. For me and in my career, over a couple of decades, I’ve never
seen this before.
I look to the bright spots. For example, what keeps people where they are? And what the new
data shows validates the hypothesis of how important flexibility is. Forty percent of the
respondents to our survey said they are staying in their current role because they can work with
flexibility.
Now, that can mean different things to different organizations -- whether that’s flexibility around
time of day or place. But this ability to be empowered is an underlying theme. It just keeps
bubbling up, this balance of empowerment and accountability.
It goes along with trust and flexibility; to marry
these concepts together into a new kind of
exchange: We will give you trust and flexibility, you
in return impact the outcomes and results. And so,
even if the music has changed, we’re still dancing
the dance of work. But the music has changed --
and it’s empowering employees to have an opportunity. I think of it as a sacred time period to
shine and to show what’s possible in terms of rethinking older ways of thinking.
Swift
Even if the music has changed,
we’re still dancing the dance of
work. … it’s empowering
employees to have an opportunity.
4. Page 4 of 12
This is what work now looks like. This is how it’s now done. Cal Newport, in one of his books
talks about retranslating the factory floor mentality from off the factory floor and into office
spaces. But we’re rethinking that. We have such a great environment at this point in time to
rethink all the assumptions.
Gardner: Seeing as we’ve been going steadily digital as a society for more than 25 years,
there’s been a lot of experimentation already. The gig economy, for example, works out for
some, but for others it has not been so great. No security, no benefits, no control over the hours,
and so forth.
Are we simply expanding the gig economy mentality? Is that what trust and flexibility mean?
Melissa, are we just going to more of a gig economy?
Swift: It’s an interesting question. There’s some skepticism about the gig economy. I would
postulate that there are two gig economies out there. There’s one based on flexibility and
worker empowerment. And then there’s the kind of accidental gig economy, where people are
not being paid a living wage and forced to work multiple jobs.
When you say, gig economy, I picture both.
And for the former one, I think you’re right.
It is a model we’re going toward. We’re
looking at work and decomposing it, then
putting it back together by allowing talent to
flow to work -- rather than the age-old
construct of a job description written a
decade ago that we try to force an
individual into. I do think that trend is
encouraging.
Gardner: Amy, we have been going through a transformation to more digital everything. But like
the factory analogy, we have not necessarily caught up to it -- or even recognized it. And so,
when we look at the way that corporations and consumers use digital services, it’s on a per-use-
basis, or just-in-time.
But the way we hire people, it isn’t really like that. Has the COVID-19 experience given us an
opportunity to pause and say, “Wow, we’re out of synch. We’re out of whack between the way
services and the service economy now works, and the way people work.”
Work is not one size fits all, it’s time for alterations
Haworth: I hear a very human-centered aspect to what you’re saying. It builds on Melissa’s
point of talent flowing in a very different model, to where it’s going to where they can be most
successful, and of having opportunities to use their strengths.
I often think about the role of technology in enabling that shift. One of the most exciting things
about this Covid experiment is the innovation that’s come from it. The technology space finds
and meets these real needs.
We’re looking at work and decomposing
it, then putting it back together by
allowing talent to flow to work – rather
than the age-old construct of a job
description written a decade ago that we
try to force an individual into.
5. Page 5 of 12
But how do we create situations where there is still human connection? Are we matching the
needs of people in new ways? An interesting piece about how this might unfold in the workforce
points to a new combination of technology, talent, and what people need to survive and thrive in
both their work and personal lives.
How those come together means rethinking what has been driving people to work in a gig
format. There’s this unprecedented level of flexibility, but there is also a need to have benefits
and to help with the human aspects of who we are. We still need to feel secure and comfortable,
and to not suffer emotions like worrying and anxiety that linger in the background. We want to
enable everyone to do their best work.
Gardner: Melissa, one of the buzz words of the past few years in business has been the
customer experience. And digital everything has increasingly given people what they want and
how they want it. As consumers, we have enjoyed that. But, as employees, we don’t necessarily
see that same emphasis. That’s why we need to have people such as Amy and an emphasis on
employee experience.
Is there a disjoint between what we’ve become used to as consumers, and what we would like
to receive as workers?
Swift: Organizations have done brilliantly for consumers on customization and personalization.
For example, Netflix is targeting you with exactly the shows you want to watch, et cetera.
Whereas, at work, we still treat people as if they were a big block of cheddar cheese, right?
We’re all one block of cheese. That’s not a great experience.
One of the interesting things that came out in our Mercer research was that, of the people
thinking about resigning, certain groups were considering it much more seriously. For example,
35 percent of Black or African American workers and 40 percent of Asian workers were thinking
about leaving, compared to only 26 percent of white employees.
Data like that speaks to people having very
different employee experiences at work. We
need to be a lot more thoughtful, to say, “Okay,
it’s not a big block of cheddar cheese. Not
everybody has the same needs and the same
experiences.” We must create equity of
experience across groups, which is clearly not happening now. But then, on the other hand, we
need to meet people where they are, and, to your point, that’s what a real consumer-like
experience is, and people are not getting that at work.
Gardner: We’re not just reacting to the COVID-19 pandemic, in my estimation. That might be a
catalyst, but we are on the precipice of major demographic and social trends, too. We have
baby boomers retiring, the re-evaluation of global supply chains, and things like peak oil, peak
carbon, and more sensitivity to equality and inclusiveness.
Amy, are we at a point where so many things are changing that there is an inevitability of more
worker empowerment? In hindsight, it seems as though this has been building for decades. Do
you agree?
We need to meet people where
they are … that’s what a real
consumer-like experience is, and
people are not getting that at work.
6. Page 6 of 12
Haworth: I do agree, Dana, especially the piece about a building tsunami of the need to be
adaptable as humans. I remember at the beginning of the pandemic thinking about human
agility as a business continuity strategy.
I’ve spent quite a bit of time in the field of
organizational transformation. Many years before
2020, I came to this realization that that change
was no longer something we could manage. What
was more valuable to invest in was building
resilience in people and enabling them to pivot --
individually and personally.
That means knowing what resources they have available to them and of thinking about what
else we need to do, to supplement them at an individual level; to enable them to construct their
own toolbox to be agile. When we think about what’s to come, we hear a lot about complexity,
that there will not be a day that is less complex than the day we’re in today. It’s just going to
continue to get more complex and to move faster.
Technology is going to play a bigger and bigger role in our lives -- and in our work lives. The
boundary between the two is permeable forever. It’s highly unlikely we’ll ever go back to a
separate boundary between them. So, as we think about the idea of transformation, where
we’re headed, and the path we’re on, this concept of peak work that you mentioned, is a period
of adaptation.
What is it that we are going to invent and pioneer? Will we leave behind old modes of thinking
and make sense of things that have simply expired? And what do we need to be putting in their
place to make sense of how we live and work going forward?
Arm Your Company to Win the Global Battle
For Talent by Enabling Secure Remote Work
Gardner: I suppose another conclusion we can make from what’s going on is that the stakes
are quite high. If you’re an employer and you’re not recognizing this as a transformative time,
that we’re not going to revert back to the 1950s Americana version of the world, then perhaps
being proactive and embracing the transformation is not just a nice-to-have but is existential?
For organizations that don’t, they’re not going to get the employees that they want. They might
not even get employees sufficient to do the work at hand. So, the transformation here seems to
be absolutely essential. How do we encourage our organizations to be proactive rather than
reactive to what’s going on?
Reframe work to fit the future and profit from it
Swift: A big part of the journey is reframing what we’ve traditionally thought of as tradeoffs.
The biggest one is, we can either treat our workers well or we can make lots of money. There
are so many assumptions that are predicated off of that. And it’s a fundamentally wrong belief.
It’s because we haven’t explored what a human-centric workplace might look like.
It is more valuable to invest in
building resilience in people
and enabling them to pivot –
individually and personally.
7. Page 7 of 12
Coming back to Amy’s comment citing Cal Newport’s work, of the workplace as machine versus
workplace as a human engine, we haven’t really tried that latter model. If we come at it from a
point of view of where growth is going to come from, is it going to be by prioritizing our human
workers and designing systems that use their best to do better -- rather than trying to force fit
them into a machine?
I think that’s the energizing concept. I also think there’s a need for an element of clarity on what
the past actually looked like. It’s funny that you referred to 1950s Americana. The experience of
the 1950s, for a lot of groups in America, was not so hot, right? If you were a woman, if you
were a person of color, the 1950s were rough.
Part of what we have to do is reframe our cultural myth-making. As we mythologize the past,
we’re going to want to keep returning to it rather than saying, “Here’s the actual reality. Here’s
what was good. Here’s what was bad.” Let’s figure out how we can pull on those good threads
more and crowd out the bad stuff, to be more realistic about what the journey looks like because
that’s part of the issue. We’ve told ourselves a story about a glorious thing we must return to,
and there’s some lack of truth at the heart of that story.
Gardner: Melissa, what you’re saying harkens back to the research that Citrix uncovered
around more people wanting to go to startups. There’s something about a startup culture where
“we’re all in this,” “we’re all benefiting,” and “we’re creating something new.” Perhaps, non-
startups need to leave the past behind and behave more like startups, Amy?
Haworth: Yes. I think there’s so much to be learned from some of these responses around the
startup draw: The chance to pioneer something, the chance to start with a blank slate. And one
of the things I think is so interesting is the connection to impact that startups have.
Oftentimes, heritage companies have a lot more distance between what originally propelled
them as a company and what their business is now, for example. Maybe the mission is diluted
among many things. Startups, on the other hand, typically have a very central focus and it’s very
easy to see that connection to what I get up and do every day by solving an impactful problem
or creating an awesome experience.
And so, the lesson that any company can take is
a closer connection to a meaning. That’s
definitely been a resounding drum beat over the
last 18 months, this need to connect to meaning
and impact, which is a very human need --
needing to be seen, to know we’re making a
difference. That move to the startup culture is potentially a symptom or outcome of that deeper
need -- no matter if your company is 150 years or five days old.
That’s something I would encourage all organizations to pay attention to.
Gardner: I’ll play the devil’s advocate to my own observation. Just like there’s myths about the
1950s, there are myths about startups, too. Sometimes not everyone is a rock star. Not
everyone is under age 35 and can work 90 hours a week. Not everyone is of a certain
demographic slice. So, perhaps we should borrow some things from the startup culture, but
maybe not everything.
Once again, we’re back to this recurring idea of hybrid when it comes to the future of work.
It’s a very human need – to be seen,
to know we’re making a difference
… no matter if your company is 150
years or five days old.
8. Page 8 of 12
Swift: I love what Amy was saying about the role of purpose, because that’s something I’m
writing a book on, about the future of work. And in my research, it’s interesting, you have folks in
the 1800s who studied work. They talk very clearly about how having a purpose at work is one
of the things that makes life meaningful.
This is an age-old idea that we’re coming back to and that the startup environment understands.
We want to know, “This is the purpose of my work,” and, “This is the impact that my work has,”
right? “Here’s how I play into the overall schema.”
It’s interesting that those same researchers in the 1800s also identified work-life balance as
something that makes work, work -- and makes life work. It’s funny because we don’t think
about those concepts dating back that far. And that’s where the startup world generally falls flat
on its face.
To your point, there is some work-life balance
that’s been created in the corporate arena,
and some purpose-driven work and impact
from the startup world. How do we marry
those up together, and where do those two
things best come together?
I think it’s fundamentally being unafraid to redesign work. That’s not just tweaking job
descriptions. It’s not all these little things you do around the edges. It’s fundamentally taking a
step back and saying, “Is this work being done properly on a micro-level, in this role, and also
on a macro-level across this organization?” Let’s take a step back. Could we do the whole work
of this company differently? That’s the energy that people are really hungering for today.
Gardner: Right. Might as well look to do everything differently, because we’re at a time when
the technology has never been more capable and pervasive.
Amy, as we’re transforming the very concept of work, should we recognize that it’s intrinsically
tied to technology? For those organizations that are still doing “digital transformation,” it seems
you don’t even need the word “digital” anymore. It’s just transformation.
Technology totally transforms how work happens
Haworth: Every transformation does have to be digital. Most every worker must have that
digital-first mindset these days because there’s such opportunity there.
As we seek equity and understanding of the different experiences people have, we can give
thought to the role technology can play in building that equity and in making sure there’s equal
access no matter where you’re doing your work. Work no longer must be a place. Work is
something that we do that generates value and impact.
Technology can establish a shared digital workspace, where we can convene, connect, and
provide a common, transparent environment. All teams can have consistent access to
applications and information to efficiently collaborate on projects to get work done, wherever
that might be.
There is some work-life balance that’s
been created in the corporate arena,
and some purpose-driven work and
impact from the startup world. How do
we marry those up together?
9. Page 9 of 12
These capabilities open up so many interesting opportunities for organizations to consider, even
as they’re making decisions about redefining work and going beyond the edges of our current
boundaries for work. They can be bold and ask big questions. A lot of what we thought was true
has been shaken up. I hope it’s a call to all of us to take action and to question more regularly.
Ask, “Is that true? Does it have to be true? What if it’s not true?” And I think this will open up a
lot of possibilities for the role that technology can play in redefining how work is done.
Gardner: Melissa, while all transformation these days might be digital, we can’t look to the IT
department to do this, right? The IT department has a lot to offer, but the architecting and re-
architecting of work strikes me as something that should be inclusive of so much more.
Who or what is in a position to look at the big picture and make the grand architectural
adjustments that are clearly needed? How does this get managed? Who governs it?
Hybrid Work has Opened the Door
To a New Kind of Gig-with-Benefits Model
Swift: It’s a wonderful question. For me, the ideal governance sits between three figures. To
your point, the chief information officer (CIO) needs to be integrally involved. Then the chief
human resources officer (CHRO), because so many of these decisions are about people and
how they do their work. And the last person who needs to get roped in more, and who is not as
involved in many organizations, is the chief financial officer (CFO).
That’s because so many of the decisions that short-circuit transformation have to do with short-
term cost objectives. It becomes a failure to play the long game, and to take an investment
approach. It requires challenging the ways of working long-term because there is always going
to be that middle-distance, where they will say, “Well, we made a change and it’s not as efficient
in the exact near term as it has been.” That’s where you get hesitancy sometimes from the
finance function, understandably.
That’s why you need that three-headed governance of
technology, the money, and the people to all come
together. And then you need genuine oversight from
chief executive officer (CEO) and at the board level.
“How we do work” is a CEO- and board-level issue. It’s
great that we see some of the issues around diversity,
equity, and inclusion starting to migrate up to the CEO and board levels. We need more
awareness around the working experience and for it to be owned at that elevation.
Gardner: People have been railing against short-term, Wall Street objectives and the corrosive
impact that’s had on business forever. It strikes me that we are really talking about rethinking of
more than just work here. Maybe hyper-capitalism isn’t sustainable for lots of reasons.
Amy, any thoughts about that? As long as Wall Street demands awesome quarterly reports,
how can we expect companies to change in a long way, that allows them to transform?
You need that three-headed
governance of technology,
the money, and the people
to all come together.
10. Page 10 of 12
Haworth: It sounds like a paradox, Dana, but I think the solution is the same. When we invest in
the human element at work, when we put our talent first and center, business performance
skyrockets.
Getting smart about putting talent at the center -- really
designing for human beings, not gears in a machine -- is
going to enable companies to make Wall Street happy. But
it requires a mindset about it being an investment. It
means the CFO understands there is a clear return on
investment (ROI) for human-centered programs:
investment in empathy building, learning, and upskilling.
These have a dividend that will make Wall Street very
happy.
Yet shifting what comes first and what comes later, that’s kind of chicken-and-egg. A big piece
of it is being willing to try, being willing to experiment. When I think about what companies need
to do, it’s like taking the position of a scientist or designer. You must be willing to have a
hypothesis and test it. See if it proves out, and then make the decision to scale. Running lots of
little experiments is going to help us all figure out what the future really needs to be to meet
people where they are.
Gardner: Melissa, regardless of what’s happened in the past, this seems like an unprecedented
opportunity to transform and create a new set of long-term priorities. It seems like it’s inevitable.
Let’s examine the inevitability of transformation. What else can organizations do to overcome
formally intransigent aspects of their culture?
Listen and meet workers’ basic needs
Swift: It’s interesting to think about how fundamental some of the unmet needs of workers are
right now. In our data, workers rated things like physical health and mental health as in their top
three unmet needs. That to me is really striking because, if you think about where those things
are on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, they are pretty low in the pyramid.
That provides in some ways the business case for transformation because, right now, if we are
not meeting our workers’ most basic needs, then everything else we might expect flows from
there. And, again, we can’t just make the surface, incremental changes. We must go in and re-
architect at the heart. Why? Because right now we can’t even hit the basics.
The psychological or emotional journey that organizations need to go on means taking a step
back and saying, “You know, it’s not that we are doing pretty okay right now, and we need to do
a little better. It’s fundamental. There are aspects about work here that are broken. But we have
this incredible opportunity to fix it.”
That’s the really energizing thing about talking about transformation in the current moment.
Gardner: Amy, how does Citrix factor into this future of work and where can people go to learn
more?
Getting smart about putting
talent at the center – really
designing for human beings,
not gears in a machine – is
going to enable companies
to make Wall Street happy.

Haworth: We have on Citrix.com a lovely section just full of great research, thought leadership,
and perspectives. It’s called Fieldwork. I recommend that your listeners and readers take some
time to check out what’s there. We keep it updated with new research and new tools. Our goal
is to help us all think about building the future of work together, challenge old assumptions, and
provide useful tools to help us move forward.
Gardner: Melissa, how is Mercer helping in this transformation of work? Where can people
learn more about it?
Swift: We help companies with an interesting array of
challenges right now. Everything from how to increase
the many dimensions of flexible work -- not just the
where, but the who, what, when, and why. That extends
to full-scale work design assistance, as well as how to
recreate certain roles to grapple with the effects of labor
shortages by effectively creating a better version of that
job by fundamentally redesigning the work itself. Again,
not just tweaking the job description but everything in the
ecosystem around it.
We’re answering such questions as, How do you create systems of incentives so people are
incentivized to do the right thing in a transformation context? How do you better listen to your
employees and understand their needs to keep up with them? We take a holistic approach. On
Mercer.com, you can find a wealth of thought leadership and details on our solutions.
Gardner: I’m afraid we’ll have to leave it there. You’ve been listening to a sponsored
BriefingsDirect discussion on the great resignation and what it means for employers seeking to
better attract and retain workers.
And we’ve learned how the shifting expectations of employees may very well mean a broader
transformation of work – one that can work to everyone’s advantage. So, a big thank you to our
guests, Amy Haworth, Senior Director of Employee Experience at Citrix. Thank you so much,
Amy. It was really interesting.
Haworth: Thank you. I appreciate it, Dana, and Melissa.
Gardner: And we have also been here with Melissa Swift, U.S. and Canada Transformation
Services Leader at Mercer. Thank you so much for your contribution, Melissa.
Swift: Great to be part of the discussion.
Gardner: And a big thank you as well to our audience for joining this BriefingsDirect future of
work innovation discussion. I’m Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions, your
host throughout this series of Citrix-sponsored BriefingsDirect insights discussions.
Thanks again for listening. Please pass this along to your community, and do come back next
time.
