  • their employees spontaneously started building wikis to document important discoveries and share scientific information.
  • They are replacing offices entirely. For people who work in virtual teams, apps like Slack are the workplace.
  • social media works in the office when it brings like-minded colleagues together for collaboration.
  • But when you work on a virtual team, your choice is either adopt the new software or stop coming to work. In other words, there is no real choice. You have to accept the new platform, regardless of the changes it brings
  • The one user survey the company has conducted, however, shows that the majority of Slack administrators believe their teams are up to 40 percent more productive.
  • Slack founder Stewart Butterfield has said the boost in productivity comes from eliminating e-mail, but Henderson scoffs at that idea. He thinks Slack teams are more productive because they can communicate better. Plus, they can catch up on what's happened while they were gone because conversations are held in searchable logs. Most of all, he says, Slack is about stepping up productivity by "reducing meetings." That's the "big one," Henderson emphasizes.

The leadership lessons in Sheryl Sandberg's and Adam Grant's new book about resilience ... - 0 views

  • What you want to do is debrief failures openly. That’s really critical to resilience, because otherwise when people fail they’re totally unprepared for it.
  • It's much more helpful to say I understand you’re probably in a lot of pain right now, and I want you to know I’m here with you. Just the acknowledgment and conveying you want to support them is much more helpful.
  • One of the things that affected me most, actually, was watching Sheryl commit to finding joy.

  • But the joy you feel has a huge impact on the people around you. I've spent a lot of time thinking since [Sandberg and I] talked about that. Joy is not just a contributor to happiness. It really is a source of strength. When we have more joy in our lives, it’s part of what makes life worth living.

6 Workplace and Job Trends to Watch in 2017 - AARP - 0 views

  • Networking will matter even more for job hunters. Employee referrals, job search engines and company career sites have caught up with job boards as employer's top picks for interviewing and hiring new workers. That means job hunters are better off working their online or real-life connections to find an in at a company they want to work for rather than scouring job board listings. When you apply or submit a résumé, include all the keywords that describe your skills and experiences, since companies that use applicant-tracking software match them against job descriptions.
  • The popularity of online video has led to companies switching how they offer training and career development, replacing in-person classes with on-demand curriculum that people can tune in when it suits their schedules, including on their phones.
  • Accenture is one company that has reconfigured learning and development to lean less on campus-based classes and more on on-demand, customized training on topics employees can choose based on their interests, not necessarily something their boss wants them to learn. I

Dustin Moskovitz says tech companies destroying employee personal lives - Business Insider - 0 views

  • beyond ~40–50 hours per week, the marginal returns from additional work decrease rapidly and quickly become negative. We have also demonstrated that though you can get more output for a few weeks during “crunch time” you still ultimately pay for it later when people inevitably need to recover.
  • My intellectual conclusion is that these companies are both destroying the personal lives of their employees and getting nothing in return.
  • This kind of attitude not only hurts young workers who are willing to “step up” to the expectation, but facilitates ageism and sexism by indirectly discriminating against people who cannot maintain that kind of schedule.

  • But emerging and evolving tools give us the opportunity to engage with our learners in new ways, to help move us toward making workplace learning more a process and less an event. Consider where you have needs to extend the reach of a course, or stay in touch with alumni or people in particular work areas or job categories. Look for staff whose schedules, locations, and job titles keep them from live experiences, and see if you can identify ways to include them. Chances are there are easy ways of solving a problem, enriching conversations, and making L&D’s work more visible and valuable.
