What blocks your path to growth?
To gain market share, you need bright, innovative, and high-performance people who are committed to your goals and mission. But today's workforce presents an uncomfortable and intergenerational reality.

If a large segment of the workforce is released or there is a risk of flight, execution and successor planning rests on the foundation of the sand. Burnout, stress, mental health/happiness, low trust, motivation and release put you at a disadvantage. In fact, one new study found that losing productivity due to employee burnout costs businesses up to $21,000. Each workeryear.
And this isn't just an HR issue. HR leaders are not always in the “sandwich generation” of the workplace. It is under pressure from C-Sweet strategic allies to drive growth while managing daily people's challenges in real time.
Red flag signaling risk
Disconformance at work. Social, political and behavioral disparities in the workplace contribute to poorly performed teams and attrition. SHRM found a sharp rise of 30% at work last year, And it is expected to rise in 2025

One segment is considered to be qualified, insufficient communication and lack of core business skills. This assumes that one in every six companies will avoid hiring Gen Z entirely.
Another segment is business-ready. I want to be familiar with and learn about adaptive and high-tech. He is a candidate for future leadership.
Now even entry-level roles require the identification of potential ROIs. Think of employment like kitchen equipment. If you only have one tool, do you invest in a versatile steak knife or settle for a dull butter knife?
Why is it expensive to wait?
The unstable market situation could last just a few months, but change is accelerating. 82% of CEOs say their average competitor will go out of business within 10 years if they don't change their current business model. (PWC)
