The effectiveness and efficiency of any organization relies on pillars such as strong vision and purpose, values reflected in daily actions and leadership behaviors that mirror those values. Retaining people means ensuring they thrive not just advance. That is anchored in equity and inclusion. I loved Erica’s chapter on how to “ACE” flexibility and look at it through the lens of autonomy, connection and equity.

Many companies seem stuck in their approaches to work and culture. They overlook the fact that many things have shifted for employees. Motivations are different, yet companies still use tactics from 10-15 years ago. Erica’s book helps bring wonderful insights to these changes….both in understanding them and what to do. An important read for employees and leaders who want to create and sustain thriving workplaces!
