In this insightful episode of Leveraging the Changing Workforce, hosts Hyman and KT of Genesis Consulting Group, along with special guest Dave of Dave Daniels Consulting, dive deep into the forces compelling CEOs to push for a return to the office. They explore both the spoken reasons, such as improving collaboration, boosting culture, and enhancing leadership development, and the unspoken drivers, including the need to justify significant corporate real estate investments. The discussion culminates in a strategic call for leaders to adopt an intentional, industry-specific approach—the "platinum rule"—by surveying the workforce, building trust, and focusing on measurable outcomes and impact over outdated processes to successfully bridge the gap between employee wants and organizational needs.

In this insightful episode, "Leveraging the Changing Workforce," hosts Hyman and KT, joined by guest Dave Daniels, delve into the critical need for optimizing an intergenerational workforce.

The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding generational nuances—from the Silent Generation to Gen Alpha—and the power of open, one-on-one conversations to set clear expectations, foster high-quality relationships, and ultimately drive greater productivity and effective leadership.
