In today’s world of digital transformation, mobile business, interconnectivity, and remote workforces , there’s one word that must be top of mind for any organization: Security. Especially when employees and proprietary business data begin to mix. I’m not just talking about malicious hackers or ransomware attacks, either.

It’s tough to promote professional development when your company doesn’t have the funding to back growth, even if employees have the drive to improve. Obviously, you want your employees to grow professionally, but there are other areas of the company that need money as well and it’s not like you can take from the electric bill funds.

It is critical that agencies manage talent well in order to achieve their missions. It would be hard to find anyone in government who doesn’t believe that. So, why is it that many government agencies are so out of the loop when it comes to their people strategy? 70 percent of government agencies rely on informal methods for workforce planning, including handwritten notes, white boards and blank spreadsheets.

Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

“People are our most important asset.”. “There is no ‘I’ in team.”. “Our talent is our competitive advantage.”. We’ve heard them all, and (ideally) in every company we’ve been lucky enough to work in, the leadership team truly believes each statement. But rarely do I meet the CEO or head of HR who have taken the painstaking (and worthwhile) time to answer the critical questions about the organizational culture they intend to set: WHY should someone work at your company?

While completely eliminating meetings may be nearly impossible, there are ways to reduce the time spent in them and maximize their productivity.
