Long time no story. In 2017, I made the tough decision to leave my 8 years job. This was after I joined LinkedIn and realized that I was getting too comfortable and needed to move cos I was not sure of growth where I was. To be honest, my job was quite comfortable, there was stability but I just wanted more. When I found a job, it was a smaller organization and no one knew them. It was a huge risk to move. I asked around, someone I spoke to who had worked in the same company told me that they needed me because of where I was coming from. She didn’t say anything good or bad about the organization, her response was just “You’re coming from so so, they need you”. I guess I should have asked what thy meant. As you are probably already imagining, it didn’t take long before I realised that the move was wrong. Had to resign from the job 7 months after to no job. I resumed my full time mum role which I did for another 9 months before finally getting another job. You’re probably wondering why I’m sharing this story. In the past few weeks, people have reached out to me asking about my past experience in a company that they are considering being a part of. It’s very easy to share when the experience is good but when it’s the other way around, I get very skeptical. Sometimes, I simply refer them to Glassdoor reviews. Sadly, not telling and sharing true experiences with badly behaved leaders and employers is what keeps enabling them. My question is - If you have had a bad experience with an employer, would you share with someone considering if you were asked? Would you tell someone not to join a company you have worked with because of bad culture? Has there been a time you shared and it backfired? What is your recommendation regarding this?

Don't confuse longevity for employee engagement. I agree, longevity should be celebrated, but it shouldn’t be the sole indicator of a healthy, engaged workforce. Recognizing the distinction between longevity and engagement, you can foster an environment where all employees—whether they’ve been there for a year or a decade—are truly engaged and motivated to contribute their best work. Let's dig deeper into understanding the terms. Longevity refers to the length of time an employee has stayed with an organization. It’s a straightforward metric; if someone has been with a company for five to ten years, they have longevity. Engagement, on the other hand, is about the emotional attachment an employee has with their organization and its goals. Engaged employees are enthusiastic about their work, consistently go the extra mile, and are passionate about contributing to the company's success. The fact that an employee has stayed with a company for many years, this doesn't necessarily mean they are engaged. They might be staying out of necessity, because they lack ambition, or lack better opportunities rather than because they are deeply invested in their work. Confusing longevity and employee engagement can lead to complacency in recognition programs. Focusing too much on rewarding tenure rather than actual contributions and enthusiasm can lead to having a complacent workforce. If a company assumes that long-term employees are automatically engaged, it might miss signs of disengagement that could affect overall productivity and morale. Engaged employees are often the drivers of innovation within a company. If a company focuses too much on tenure, it may overlook the fresh perspectives and innovative ideas that come from newer, more engaged employees. This can lead to a stagnant work environment where the status quo is maintained, rather than challenged. When longevity is overly celebrated, newer employees might feel undervalued, leading to higher turnover rates among fresh talent. They might perceive that engagement isn’t as important as just staying with the company long enough to be recognized, which can demotivate them from fully investing in their roles. How then can engagement be fostered? 📌 Focus on Providing Meaningful Work 📌 Give Regular Feedback and Development 📌 Recognize Contributions, Not Just Tenure 📌 Encourage a Culture of Innovation 📌 Monitor Engagement Regularly In conclusion, employee engagement is journey. Being deliberate about creating an environment where employees are engaged is key to success. #Employeeengagement #Success #Jobsatisfaction #Adesholaapeaks

I woke up thinking about a crucial aspect of employee branding. This message is for employers, business owners, founders and entrepreneurs generally. Your potential employees are reaching out to your previous employees. They are asking if they should join your company. In simple terms,they don’t want to enter one chance😀 This should not be an issue if you have deliberately created an organization where people love to work and almost never want to leave. But if you have done otherwise, well! Good luck on finding your talents. Your ex-employee can be your best ambassador. Please help HR find good people for you. #TGIF #employerbranding #talentattraction

Don’t scroll! Read this! A popular Bible verse reads “Put your heart and soul into every activity you do, as though you are doing it for the Lord himself and not merely for others. For we know that we will receive a reward, an inheritance from the Lord, as we serve the Lord Yahweh, the Anointed One!” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭TPT‬‬ I was reminded of this verse of the Bible this morning, it has been my mantra for a long time and I thought to share here. Doesn’t matter your religion, this will work for you. You may not be on your best job yet, you may feel discouraged and unmotivated but remember that reward always comes. It may take a while but it always does and guess what, someone is watching. So go into the week with excitement and put in your very best into your work, business or job search and see God come through for you. POV: I wanted a chilled picture for this post and I could only find this one with Akonte Lawson, ACIPM in it, so I said “why not?” Please ignore the red cup, it’s water that’s in it 😜😜😜 It’s Monday yo! #randomthoughts #HR
