And there are many reasons why this is so true.

Proud to share that Avison Young | US has (again!) been recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best Midsize Employers for 2024. I think the secret sauce is the way we work across teams and ignore labels that can be limiting in other organizations.  Integrating our talents is not just better for our clients, it is better for our people.

Exciting news for TPI!

With four and sometimes even five generations in the workforce, it is important to be open to understanding that someone's lived experience can be quite different than your own. The world, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse has changed significantly over the past seventy years. There is a lot be learned and gained from exploring the experiences and perspectives of all generations. How do organizations balance all of these varied experiences, needs, desires, fears, challenges and working styles across generations? This is particularly challenging with respect to GenZ, as their experience has been considerably different than that of generations that came before them? At RJ Wronski Associates, Inc we are helping organizations explore questions such as: When is it appropriate or advantageous to accommodate the needs of the individual when those needs may seem to be at odds with the needs of the organization (i.e. culture, processes, values or work expectations)? How do we turn the many differences (and the similarities that do also exist) into opportunities for both the individual and the organization as a whole? How do we prepare our organization for the generational shift upon us? Collaborating with the LDP Connect Enterprise Council last week on these questions, as they relate to early talent development programs was greatly rewarding. Thank you Dan Beaudry for bringing this topic to the forefront for the LDP Connect community.

What if our workplaces were more than mere spaces to work? What if they could evolve into engines of well-being, where employees not only thrive but also have their core human needs met?

It's time to unveil a fresh, human-centric blueprint—one that prioritizes our most valuable asset: our people.

Last quarter, our Employee Success Team (whom are tasked with the critical job of managing Verizon Connect's events, communications and programs that reinforce our winning strategy and culture throughout the year) put on a highly-complex event for People Leaders across 9 countries and 18 offices globally. It was our first ever "VZC People Leader Summit." The planning and execution - from content and multi-media, to engagement and logistics - were extraordinarily complex. To no surprise, the team pulled it off with professionalism and enthusiasm from start to finish. Best of all: attendees rated the event highly-favorably. The space-themed event reinforced VZC's "rocketship" mentality, and reminded everyone of the unique culture we've built as a business - allowing us to have fun while working hard and harmoniously. As we get ready for the next whirlwind event (the infamous VZC Hackathon), I want to give a BIG thank you to the team behind this magic: - the events "everything" expert and pro, Katie Braga - graphic designer, creative and culture genius, Isabella Good - communications and marketing planning extraordinaire, Ashly Dominguez - and of course their extremely-talented team leader, Sandy Petschow (Partyka) ...not to mention, the countless partners and contributors our team relies on everyday. 🚀 #gratitude #employeesuccess #talentedteam

Let's chat at the CWS conference! Interested in increasing your supplier diversity spend? Let HireGenics help! The Hackett Group’s Supplier Diversity Study found that companies who dedicate 20% or more of their spend to diverse suppliers can attribute as much as 15% of their annual sales to supplier diversity programs. Depending on annual sales numbers, previous studies have put the ROI of a supplier diversity program as high as 133%. A global pharmaceuticals and healthcare products client of ours was able to increase its Tier 1 diversity spend by tens of millions of dollars, exceeding its diversity spend goals year-over-year while reducing overall program costs. Send me a DM to schedule some time while at CWS to talk with our senior leaders about ways to increase your companies diversity spend with HireGenics.
