How organizations identify, hire, retain and work with external advocates, associates and consultants can become a strength or a weakness of the organization.
Workplace Culture:
Workplace culture thrives in the attitudes of employees, in the setting of goals and in the communication of values to associates and customers. “Your brand is only a promise – the culture either fulfills or breaks that promise.”
Engagement and productivity:
How organizations affect the engagement level of an employee are inherently different from how they build engagement among contractors, consultants and remote-workers. It is important to be adaptable and intentional about experimenting, understanding and focusing on what works.
Recruitment and on-boarding:
Organizations will need to adapt and find more effective ways of recruiting talent, and how to make it easier and more effective to hire external advocates and consultants.
Technology:
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer an option for companies.
Geoffrey Hinton, known as the “godfather of AI,” now, he sees artificial intelligence as a relatively imminent “existential threat.” Martin Heidegger, draws attention to technology’s place in bringing about our decline by constricting our experience of things as they are.
