People First Culture - How Caring for Employees is a Performance Multiplier (w. Josh Block)

from The HR Hub by Andrea Adams · host WRKdefined Podcast Network

Building a people first culture is an aspiration for many in HR and leadership. But we struggle to close the gap between our good intentions and the actual impact on people. In this conversation, Josh Block, President of Block Imaging and author of People Matter at Work, explains why caring is a legitimate business strategy that drives ownership and long term performance. So that our people FEEL that we care. We discuss the "Three T’s" of leadership, the difference between viewing employees as resources to be extracted versus a garden to be nurtured, and the specific questions we can coach leaders to ask so they build real trust. If you are looking to move beyond transactional management (where people are the gold mine) and create an environment where employees feel safe, seen, and successful, this episode provides practical advice for HR and leaders. **Find Josh Block** Website: https://www.peoplematteratwork.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuablock/ Book: https://www.amazon.ca/People-Matter-Work-Fostering-Everyone/dp/B0FYX543SN **Find Andrea (me)** Website: https://thehrhub.ca/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-adams1/
