Hey friends! I wanted to chat about my conversation with Dr. Edie Goldberg. She's a total rockstar in the talent management and HR space. Edie shared some fascinating insights from her decades of research and consulting on strategies to engage employees and retain top talent. A few big takeaways: Internal talent marketplaces can save companies millions by better utilizing existing employees instead of always hiring contractors. Cisco used this approach when transitioning their business model and upskilling current staff. We talked about why employee burnout happens and how managers can help. Giving people work aligned with their passions can reignite their spark. AI taking over repetitive tasks also lets people focus energy where they uniquely add value. Edie chairs the SHRM Foundation board, working towards positive social change in workplaces. Widening talent pathways to include overlooked groups like opportunity youth or people with disabilities is a key focus area. Amazing stuff! Lots more in here friends. Let me know what intrigued you most! What steps might you take in your company? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
