In today’s fast-paced work environment, wellness has become critical to creating a healthy and thriving workforce. Organizations that prioritize the well-being of their employees benefit from higher levels of engagement, productivity, and job satisfaction.
I joined Arc Aspicio more than eight years ago to learn and grow as a consultant. Through professional development opportunities, I have strengthened relationships with clients and colleagues, built my leadership and consulting skills, and now lead and mentor others by supporting their career goals and aspirations.
Organizations that clearly define their mission, vision, and values position themselves for success in rapidly changing work environments. These strategic elements serve as a roadmap, helping organizations make decisions and inspire employees. As hybrid work becomes the new normal, embracing a mission delivery culture is vital for organizations to improve individual experience and strengthen their mission for success.
Government and private sector organizations alike face a daunting challenge when considering how to adapt to long-term hybrid work environments in the post-pandemic world. A hybrid environment, with a mix of remote and in-person work arrangements, introduces ambiguity and complexity, and presents opportunities to organizations. The key to a compelling, effective, and sustainable approach to hybrid work is to avoid the temptation for one-size-fits-all solutions and to instead focus on tailoring an approach that puts your workforce in a position to succeed at meeting your unique organizational mission.
As the workplace continues to change dramatically and work shifts more into a new hybrid environment, connecting with colleagues and building new relationships remains important, but is now more challenging than ever. While meetings have moved to virtual platforms like Teams and Zoom and some work has moved to smart phones, we have found that there is not a technology substitute for the watercooler or the hallway conversation.
Each year, Arc Aspicio brings our strategy to life with a theme – a single word that helps our company focus on our vision. This year, our theme is #Connect. Relationships are more important than ever to achieve organization and mission goals. To make this theme come alive, we are innovating to find new ways to connect internally and externally.
To stay competitive, organizations must continually identify and develop future leaders. Federal agencies and companies alike should intentionally integrate leaders into their human capital strategies as they prepare for the future of work.
Federal agencies have been undergoing significant transformation, requiring effective workforce strategies that can assist them in facing increasing challenges. As government leaders look for and implement initiatives to improve performance, Strategic Workforce Planning, (SWP) has become instrumental in assisting organizations to focus on their most important resource: their people
Are you developing a strategy but are unsure where to start, what to rely on, and who to engage when driving a business, organization, or agency forward? Start by enabling the operational workforce. The workforce includes those who are executing daily tasks and operations of the many programs within an organization. Enabling the workforce gives them authority, allowing them to access their full potential to achieve desired results, and helps the Government develop, communicate, and implement strategy.
Across the Federal government, agencies and programs have been tasked with building, training, and retaining the workforce needed to serve the American people. Public-sector leaders have been struggling with the right approach to this challenge, but we are now seeing more and more agencies turn to implementing private industry ’lean’ methods as a potential solution. Lean strategies aim to identify and improve an organization’s pain-points by following a set of principles and techniques focused on minimizing risk, optimizing cost and quality of processes, and engaging employees to deliver value-added benefits and improvements aligned to the organization’s mission and goals.
Human Resources (HR). What comes to mind when you hear “HR”? Hopefully, it’s positive! While most people would answer with “processing paperwork, administering benefits, onboarding and paying employees, etc.,” HR in 2018 is so much more. As the Association for Talent Development argues, HR is about being an “experience architect.” It can transform the employee experience.
We tell our story to share who we are as a company. This blog is the fifth in a series that highlights how our strategy and culture lead to positive results for our clients and employees.
What distinguishes Arc Aspicio apart from the rest? For me, it’s the investment in an employee’s personal and professional growth. Arc Aspicio is a place where employees are supported and encouraged to keep learning, growing, and being challenged.
