Post-Pandemic Workplace Transformation

• The COVID-19 pandemic drastically altered workplace dynamics, with a surge in remote work and hybrid models, leaving a lasting impact on employee engagement and wellbeing.

• While remote work initially offered flexibility, it also led to decreased employee engagement, a decline in connection to company purpose, and increased feelings of isolation.

• Employee wellbeing has significantly deteriorated since the pandemic, with rising stress levels, burnout, and a record low percentage of employees feeling their organization cares about their wellbeing.

• The 'Great Detachment' sees employees seeking new jobs but feeling unable to leave due to market conditions, impacting overall job satisfaction and increasing pressure on managers.

• Effective leadership, clear communication, and investment in employee wellbeing are crucial for organizations to navigate these challenges and build a thriving and engaged workforce in this evolving landscape. #AWU #disability #jobs

Millennials and Gen Z Reshaping the Workplace

• Millennials and Gen Z prioritize work-life balance and flexibility, with many preferring remote or hybrid work arrangements and valuing career growth alongside personal well-being.

• This generation embraces openness and transparency, sharing personal details with colleagues and fostering a more inclusive work environment, even discussing sensitive topics like health or cannabis use.

• While valuing remote work, they still appreciate social connections, highlighting the importance of team-building events like office parties and offsites for boosting morale and engagement.

• Employers who adapt to these evolving workplace preferences, prioritizing flexibility and fostering a culture of openness, are more likely to attract and retain top talent from these generations. #AWU #disability #jobs

"Interview Tip"

Navigating AI Questions in Job Interviews

• As AI adoption accelerates, job interviews increasingly include questions about AI proficiency.

• While deep AI expertise isn't always necessary, demonstrating curiosity and a willingness to learn are crucial.

• Highlighting how you've used AI to boost productivity or handle mundane tasks showcases adaptability.

• Researching the company's stance on AI and providing specific examples of its application in your work is recommended.

• Expressing a considered opinion on AI, whether positive or skeptical, grounded in knowledge, is more important than a definitive stance. #AWU #disability #jobs #interviewtips

Tough Job Market!

We all know that tons of people are getting laid off. That means that more, and more people are looking for the remaining jobs. The talent pool for employers is filled with qualified workers to choose from. So I ask you, "What will separate you from the bunch?"

In my opinion, with skills sets being equal, it becomes about you, your personality, your attitude. Are you presenting to an interview with a good attitude? A smile if you can? Hiring managers/recruiters are not any different than you. They will remember the person who demonstrated happiness, joy, and confidence. Show them if you are able. These attributes may be your best chance in this environment to get a job offer. #AWU #disability #jobs #interviewtips

"Job Search Tip "

So what do the words "Must Wear Many Hats" in a job description mean? Usually it means you will be Underpaid and Overworked!

It means the company is looking for someone to do multiple jobs. As an example they are looking for a graphic designer, social media manager, customer service representative, and event planner all rolled into one – for the salary of an intern. It’s just a nice way of saying We won’t hire enough people, so you’ll have to do five jobs at once.

If you see this in a job description, beware. If you decide to pursue the position at the interview ask questions about job and performance expectations. #AWU #disability #jobs
