We try to distract employees from what it's actually like to work at our organizations by giving them perks and shiny things we keep throwing in their faces. Now, there are a few organizations that have figured out how to attract and retain the best talent. --------------------- This episode is sponsored by Workplace from Meta.

Should you focus on profits or people? The truth is that these two are not mutually exclusive. To get to profits, you need to start by focusing on your people. Think about where your profits come from. Profits come from your employees who are building relationships with customers and selling more products. So remember that people and profits are not two opposing forces that are meant to battle each other. They are almost one and the same to get to higher growth. Invest in your people and their experience because they are the ones who will go above and beyond to create opportunities. --------------------- This episode is sponsored by Namely, the all in-one HR solution that makes life easier for your employees, your boss and you!

Who you surround yourself with matters. If you surround yourself with negative people, you will adopt that mindset and become a negative person. If you surround yourself with positive people, they can push you to be the best version of yourself. So you need to ask yourself three basic questions to get a sense of who you're surrounded with: Does this person help make you a better version of yourself? Does this person build you up? Or does this person tear you down? Does this person help you see things from a different perspective? Or does this person just help you see things from a negative perspective? --------------------- This episode is sponsored by Workplace from Meta. Workplace is a business communication tool from Meta.
