Joe Mull - Employalty: How to Ignite Commitment and Keep Top Talent in the New Age of Work

In this week’s episode of the SIMPLE brand podcast, I talk with Joe Mull, author of Employalty: How to Ignite Commitment and Keep Top Talent in the New Age of Work.

Joe’s an international keynote speaker, he’s the founder of BossBetter Leadership Academy, and he’s the host of the BossBetter Now podcast. Employalty releases on May 9, but it’s quickly becoming one of the most talked about HR and workplace culture books.

Joe and I discuss his lessons from Employalty all around turning your organization into a destination workplace to attract and keep top talent. 

Some of the topics we discuss include:

• What’s REALLY driving record-setting job switching today
• There is no staffing shortage, there’s a great job shortage
• The desire of professionals to seek a higher quality of life without their job encroaching on that
• Why leaders want to move their team from a departure organization to a destination workplace
• Where commitment really comes from in the workplace
• What’s broken in the work environment and made it more dehumanized lately
• The MYTH that employees are just lazy today
• What too many leaders get wrong in offering flexibility to their employees
• Meaningful work isn’t only for nonprofit or purpose-driven brands
• The way employees are recognized is typically all wrong
• Great bosses are advocates for their employees
