The Downsides of Bossware

Welcome to foHRsight – a podcast about making work better brought to you by future foHRward.Bossware, workplace spyware or tattleware is another one of those trends we’ve seen emerge in recent years.We share background to a Canadian case in January where an employee was ordered to pay a fine for time theft that was picked up through monitoring software.https://decisions.civilresolutionbc.ca/crt/crtd/en/item/523029/index.doWhile there are elements of monitoring that can be helpful when it comes to individual productivity, we express our concern about the evasiveness of this sort of technology and how it can be abused by companies.Our view is that the bigger challenge is around measuring productivity and we point to the research from Microsoft report and their term productivity paranoia (see below), but we do challenge ourselves to explore any benefits it can provide. Spoiler alert … there aren’t many and we’re fans of macromanagement!Here is a link to the Microsoft report on Productivity Paranoiahttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/worklab/work-trend-index/hybrid-work-is-just-workAnd to the idea of micromanagementhttps://www.fastcompany.com/90832818/how-to-be-a-macromanager-and-why-you-need-toQuick reminderDon’t forget to sign up for our weekly newsletter foHRsight at www.futurefoHRward.com/foHRsight.Follow us on LinkedIn:Mark - www.linkedin.com/in/markedgarhr/Naomi - www.linkedin.com/in/naomititlemancolla/future foHRward - www.linkedin.com/company/future-fohrward/And on Instagram - www.instagram.com/futurefohrward/And finally big shout out to our Producer Emily Milling at The Ultimate Creative for making us sound great!

Career Cushioning

Introduction to career cushioning and the benefits of having a plan BWelcome to foHRsight – a podcast about making work better brought to you by future foHRward.Another buzz phrase makes its way in to the work vernacular – career cushioning!

Productivity and Prioritization

Welcome to foHRsight – a podcast about making work better brought to you by future foHRward.The start of the year is the time when many organizations are rolling out the priorities for their teams. In this week’s episode we make the case for thinking about prioritization in a broader sense beyond the top corporate goals.Many leaders don’t feel their teams are being productive (see Microsoft report below) and while this is contrary to the views of individuals, it does present an opportunity to focus on measuring outcomes.Taking the time to think about how you can simplify often complex tasks at work and streamline meetings can help people to prioritize their time and ultimately be more productive.As next week’s guest Gustavo Razzetti says “… busyness is a wicked problem.”A few extra resources:Microsoft Work Trend Index - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/worklab/work-trend-index/hybrid-work-is-just-workHow to say no in No-vember for a happier, healthier, more productive work life – from Naomi - http://collaborativity.ca/how-to-say-no-in-no-vember-for-a-happier-healthier-more-productive-work-life/Quick reminderDon’t forget to sign up for our weekly newsletter foHRsight at www.futurefoHRward.com/foHRsight.Follow us on LinkedIn:Mark - www.linkedin.com/in/markedgarhr/Naomi - www.linkedin.com/in/naomititlemancolla/future foHRward - www.linkedin.com/company/future-fohrward/And on Instagram - www.instagram.com/futurefohrward/Support the show

Our reflections on the year that was 2022

Welcome to foHRsight – a podcast about making work better brought to you by future foHRward.How did we get to Episode 3 so quickly!In this seasonal episode we share our reflections on the year that was 2022, but before we got in to that it was a long overdue introduction to our dogs (Tilly, Cori and Charlie – images available on Instagram!) and did a check-in on our favourite Holiday traditions.You’ll find a recipe to bread sauce here - https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/bread-sauce-0.The year that was 2022After a slow start, our sense was that 2022 was part of the much-needed process of developing a new (better) set of norms for work. This involved a lot of test-and-learn, experimentation and maybe even a little bit of ‘paralysis from analysis’.This is perhaps understandable as many leaders were cautious about setting clear expectations when they weren’t sure how their people would react – particularly in a very tight labour market. It will be interesting how 2023 unfolds – we’ll cover that in a future episode!Here is a link to some relevant articles:Thinking about quiet quitting?

What is the office for?

Welcome to foHRsight – a podcast about making work better brought to you by future foHRward.Following a query from one of our listeners (thank you!), in this our second episode, we share more thoughts about how the office can be used as part of your hybrid strategy.Before we get in to that we start with a check-in and share what we have learnt in 2022. For Naomi it’s the importance of connection and for Mark the value of human-centred leadership – more to follow in future episodes!What is the value of the office?You’ll hear Naomi talking about the importance of leaders articulating “they why”. A mandatory return to the office “just because” isn’t enough. Naomi goes on to outline some ideas of the activity you can encourage people to do at the office.Deep collaboration – as outlined in Gustavo Razzetti’s book Remote not DistantOn-the-job learningExchanging human energy and relationship buildingHere are some links to some relevant articles:The study about the importance of proximity to feedback by Emanuel, Harrington & Pallais A link to Gustavo Razzetti’s book Remote not Distant Returning to the Office?

Our foHRsight on hybrid work

Welcome to foHRsight – a podcast about making work better brought to you by future foHRward.It’s our first episode so what better topic to talk about than hybrid work! It’s dominated the headlines and the work of HR leaders for the last 18 months and has certainly been a big area of focus for our work as well.In this episode we start by sharing the framework we use to think about the new world of work – it’s also how we structure our newsletter foHRsight.Building the Worker EcosystemEnabling Talent to Get the Work DoneThe Learning-Agile OrganizationWellbeing in the WorkplaceFollowing a check-in about why we’re both so excited about our new podcast, we talk about the opportunity that hybrid work brings to organizations and how they should think about it.This includes:The crossroads we are at with organizations pushing for a return to the office while many employees are looking to hang on to the flexibility they have enjoyed over the last couple of years.The risk of thinking that hybrid work is all about the return to the office. It’s not. Hybrid work provides a long term talent play that can make a difference to your organization.The importance of being deliberate about where and when work gets done.Here are some links to some relevant articles:Three ingredients to make hybrid working a success: planning, communication and trust – post from Naomi Take advantage of in-office ‘anchor days’ to strengthen relationships and build skills – post from Naomi The future is hybrid – 10 steps to introduce hybrid ways of working – post from Mark The article about ‘tone deaf’ leaders -Quick reminderDon’t forget to sign up for our weekly newsletter foHRsight at www.futurefoHRward.com/foHRsight.Follow us on LinkedIn:Mark - www.linkedin.com/in/markedgarhr/Naomi - www.linkedin.com/in/naomititlemancolla/future foHRward - www.linkedin.com/company/future-fohrward/And on Instagram - www.instagram.com/futurefohrward/Support the show
