Gen Z In The Workplace
May 12, 2021
Hello and welcome to Episode 61 of the People Powered Business Podcast!
Ā
Today we discussed a one of my favourite things to chat about, mainly because I am so interested in human behaviour and trends, and how we see this play out at work, and that is generations in the workplace. Specifically today we spoke about Gen Z.
Ā
Gen Z are our first generation of true digital natives, being born between 1995 and 2009, they have grown up in the era of iPhones and iPads and integrate tech into everything. Yet, interestingly, they also crave social and human interaction, especially in the workplace.
Ā
Today we discussed not only the general traits of Gen Z, but also what to expect from them in the workplace and how to get the most out of them.
Ā
I referred in this discussion to an article by research company McCrindle, you can read that article here >>>Ā McCrindle Research Article
Ā
As I mentioned, I would love to hear about your experienced in having Gen Z in your workplace, the benefi...
How Great Is A 4 Day Week?
May 05, 2021
Hello and welcome to Episode 60 of the People Powered Business Podcast!
Ā
Today we discussed a concept which may seem a little strange to some of you, the 4 day work week. Taking a full time role and getting the same results achieved in just 4 days, or 80% of the time.
Ā
Championed by Andrew Barnes, after successfully implementing the model during his time with Perpetual Guardian, we discussed the various models of the 4 day work week, and how this could look and work within your business.
Ā
Of course before considering a change like this to your workplace there are a few key things we need. In todayās episode we discussed my top tips that you may need to consider before embarking on adopting this structure in your business:
- Understand how to measure productivity;
- Build and nurture trusting teams;
- Trial and consult.

...Identifying Imposter Syndrome in Your Team
Apr 28, 2021
Hello and welcome to Episode 59 of the People Powered Business Podcast!
Ā
Today we had a great discussion about a topic that we havenāt covered on the podcast before ā Imposter Syndrome.
Ā
Now many of us as entrepreneurs, leaders, business owners and managers may have come up against imposter syndrome ourselves before, but what about our team? Do we know how to spot it and identify it within our team? I think itās something we often havenāt thought about, or wouldnāt be sure how to identify it and help the employee overcome this.
Ā
I recently became aware of the work of Dr. Valerie Young, an expert in this field, who has identified 5 different types of imposter syndrome that may occur in our teams. She speaks and writes about how to identify these and what you might be able to do to assist employees in overcoming this imposter feeling.
Ā
In todays episode we unpacked theĀ five types and Dr. Youngās suggestions for helping employee work through and overcome their imposter syndrom...
