You know that infant toy w/ circle, square, star, & diamond blocks that are pushed through respective openings? Hours are spent trying to unsuccessfully smash the square through the circle opening. That feels a bit like where we are in now. Employees are the blocks Employers keep trying to push them through, assuming they are the same shape as a few years ago. Personal & professional values have shifted. Trying to force the shape into the wrong opening just doesn’t work. Don't make assumptions, get curious.

Internal comms is important too

📱Everyone is a media outlet. 🎯 When a large crisis hits, or a big announcement /change/launch is happening, remember your internal audiences. ✅ Employees shouldn’t be getting their updates solely from the media (or worse, the rumor mill). ✒️ Give them customized messaging. Not insider details, but good communication makes a huge difference. Even when there isn’t a crisis 🌟Launching a new property or store? Livestream the ribbon cutting or share behind the scenes footage or photos on employee-only channels. 🌟Testing new flavors or products? Invite employees to help test and share their feedback. Report back when the results can be shared. 🌟Opening up a new building soon? Post renderings and concept boards. 💡Employees deserve acknowledgment of a major issue/situation/change, and a resource for their questions. 👉🏻 Without communication, trust takes a hit, false information gets perpetuated, and you miss a chance to raise (or at least maintain) morale.

Finally, the commercial real estate sector is starting to realize: Vending isn't just a nice-to-have. It's a must-have. Vacancies aren't going to fill themselves. You have to give people a reason to choose your office over the next. Fancy windows? They all have them. Friendly staff? Standard. A gym? Most have them. A micro-market/vending area? Not so much. But that's changing, and I'm leading that change. Nashville is one of the fastest-growing tech cities in America. Want to recruit the greatest minds in IT? Give them a nice place to sit, sip coffee, and grab a bite in a completely custom, tailored-to-you micro-market. That's just one of many ways to show your appreciation. #vending #micromarket #cre #tech #nashville #breaktimesolutions

Championing business goals, one Stoke City match at a time. There's something quite powerful about standing behind your local team. It's the camaraderie, the shared passion, the undying loyalty. Much like my dedication to Stoke City, my commitment to understanding and supporting Owner Operators remains unwavering. I've been fortunate to learn that business, like football, isn't just about the endgame. It's about the journey, the strategies employed, and ensuring that every team member feels valued and protected. Owner Operators juggle sales, profit margins, and team welfare – and it's no small feat. At Lenovo, we've built an ethos grounded in trustworthiness, reliability, and cultural alignment. We're not just another name in the tech industry. We're a dedicated partner, keen on supporting your vision and helping you overcome objections to ensure success. So, let me ask you, fellow business enthusiasts: How do you strike the right balance between achieving profit goals and ensuring team welfare? And in this journey, how pivotal is having a trustworthy partner like Lenovo by your side? I'm here to cheer you on, like I cheer for Stoke City. #EdgeComputingEvolution #BusinessTransformationWithTech #LeadingWithLenovo

NEW SUMMERTOWN CO-WORKING SPACE I am thinking of starting up a new co-working space business in Summertown with a coffee shop and spaces folk can hire (community groups and events etc.) Would this be of interest, if so drop me a message and let’s have a chat, if… - you might be interested in hiring some co-working space in a small but awesome building in Summertown with parking - you might be interested in hiring a meeting room for a meeting (obviously!) or just a team catch up - you might be interested in hiring some space for a community group or event or a place to rehearse or offer private tuition - you might like to be the new coffee shop taking on the space attached to my potential new co-working space - you are a local business that might like to hire an outdoor space linked to my co-working space, for a launch party or an art exhibition or a craft fair, any other small event, you get the idea! - you’d like to go into business with me (it’s worth a try!) Just putting all this out into the world to see what it throws back at me 🙂 Cheers Kev

Our CEO and Co-Founder, John Wallace, had a chance to sit down with the Chicago Business Journal to discuss our newest location in The Loop, as well as Workbox's forward-looking expansion strategy. "I do think the Loop is coming back," John told the Chicago Business Journal. "More people are coming back to work, and with the amount of activity we're seeing, we thought it was time to open up a Loop location." To learn more about our eighth location and what's next for Workbox, read more in the article here: https://lnkd.in/ge9MMfZA

What a year for the Layout Planing team. As the year closes out I’ve reflected on what an hectic, crazy but fun year it has been for the layout planning team and I. We’ve launched numerous fresh look stores. Each one having plenty of revisions, debates (arguments sometimes 😂), reviews and consultations with a host of stakeholders across the business. New stores launched. It’s fantastic to see the development of these and the engagement needed to ensure we have the best opening. Modular & small works rolled out. Working flat out to implement smaller projects in vast numbers of stores to help the business objectives. Huge numbers of drawings proposed, re proposed, scrapped and sometimes redone at utter speed to help land. New team members joining. As colleagues move into new roles, we’ve welcomed new colleagues to our team. I’ve enjoyed seeing how they learn the role and all the new skills (some might call them frustrations 😂) they need to develop in the role. It’s surprised lots of people how many inputs we have into so many other departments in order to make everything work. Obviously there’s so much more I can write here but the main thing is to say I’m so proud of the team and what we’ve done. Clearly next year is going to be another hectic one as the business looks to progress. But we’re ready to do our part and help influence that progress. Happy new year everyone. #morrisons #layout #floorplan
