In professional services — in every way that matters — your people are your product and your brand. Knowledge workers put all the power of human ingenuity to work and can be astonishingly innovative, agile, and flexible! But humans also have a wildly different set of needs than industrial or technology infrastructure — and that creates some very real and unique challenges. Churn across this industry is incredibly high — the highest of all industries in 2021-22, according to a LinkedIn study. In small amounts, churn is refreshing.

How we think about and organize work is evolving before our eyes. But as companies move away from static roles and toward more fluid, skills-based ways of work, we are abandoning some traditional ways of sharing culture and information. How will your company keep people connected to each other and your organization in a new world of work? Consider the case of Peter, a new grad who just started his first corporate job. We recently asked him how it was going. “It’s great,” he told us. “I have three managers.” Yep, you read that right. Three managers. Because of his in-demand skill set, Peter ..read more

Organizations are rightly concerned that employees might be feeling lonely or disconnected. But, this isn’t a new issue. For decades, Gallup has been reminding us of the importance of having a best friend at work, And, frankly, we have all felt the impact of connection (or lack of it) personally. We know it’s better when you work with people who you like and trust. Recent Enboarder research even found that 94% of the 1,000 employees surveyed report that they are more ..read more

To find some answers to this question and understand how we can best work with Gen Zers to make our workplaces better, Enboarder’s CEO, Brent Pearson, sat down with Jason Dorsey, president and co-founder of The Center for Generational Kinetics and author of “Zconomy: How Gen Z Will Change the Future of Bus ..read more

"We need to improve our employee engagement." It's a phrase repeated almost as often as "What's for lunch?" — but if you ask for the definition of employee engagement or for practical tips or suggestions on how to increase it, you'll be greeted with as much silence as if you had asked, "Who's picking up the check?" Despite the difficulty in providing more practical tips and definitions, we can no longer afford to awkwardly change the subject.

What will HR look like in five years? ? With the new year freshly behind us, everyone is voicing their thoughts on what HR will look like in the upcoming year, but underneath all of these different theories and hypotheses is one common undertone: The future of work, and therefore, the future of HR, is boundaryless.
