Black History Month 2021

Professional Development

In this edition of Leaders in Education, we will focus on the latest tools, resources, and guidance for leaders looking for professional development, with a focus on Team Culture.

4 HR Leaders Share How They’re Keeping Culture Alive in a Remote Environment

Human Resource teams can have a huge impact on office culture. While working from home, this is needed more than ever. From lunch and learns to virtual talent shows, HR leaders share what they’ve done to keep morale high over the past year.

Just Say No to Busy Culture: Increasing Productivity, Work-Life Balance and Happiness

Recent American work culture has equated being busy with being successful. Importance is tied to non-stop emails, meetings, and projects. The pursuit of this image is leaving employees exhausted, burnt out, and lacking morale. 

Smaller companies find it hard to keep up with the employee amenities that feel ubiquitous in Silicon Valley titans like Facebook and Google. However, these companies are doing more than free snacks and nap pods. Learn what top culture companies are doing to provide the best environment for their employees.

WFH Doesn’t Have to Dilute Your Corporate Culture

Research shows that a solid majority of knowledge workers want flexible work arrangements after the pandemic. Company leaders face the challenge of reimagining their culture for a world where rituals and ceremonies enacted in the office are inaccessible. Adapting to a hybrid environment will require some trial and error, but companies that invest time and resources into new processes will be able to thrive in a new era of work.

The Hybrid Workplace: New Opportunities for Collaboration

With 2020 as the backdrop, one thing is pretty clear. For most businesses, having a fully remote, home-based workforce is just not viable. Nor is it reasonable to expect a return to pre-pandemic times where most workers are ensconced full-time at the office. Here are some of the most important factors to consider for an emerging hybrid workplace model to succeed.

Pandemic Power Dynamics: Management Tips On Preventing Toxic Team Culture In A Long Haul Crisis

Work cultures where everything is rolled up for the omnipotent parent boss to resolve are toxic, both before the pandemic and after. They do not result in long term productivity, strong performance, or sustainable wellbeing. This article provides some tips to prevent a team culture from becoming toxic during these trying times.

 
Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter

Last week, I shared tips on showcasing results vs. responsibilities on your resume. Today, I encourage you to ensure your resume content is aligned to your target roles. Here’s how:

• Identify a job description for your target role. What are the main job functions? What terms/vocabulary are used?

• Look at your resume - does your resume share examples of times you’ve performed similar/transferable work and gotten great results?
   
  • Ex: You’re a teacher applying for an Assistant Principal role. Make sure you share examples of times you’ve formally or informally coached your peers (as a grade-level chair, department chair, leading a weekly PD, etc.)

• Consider using a tool like JobScan, which uses AI technology to compare your resume to a specific job description. It will show strengths and provide tips on how to optimize your content to match the job description better.
