Along with Jennie Brooks of Booz Allen and Hamilton, I’m proud to serve as co-chair of the economic development committee of the Regional San Diego Economic Development Corporation (EDC).
That bulky title out of the way, let me tell you about one of our recent quarterly meetings, in which we typically host panel presentations on varied topics. That way, we’re able to hear a range of views on issues rather than inviting just one speaker.
After introductions, the discussion quickly turned to the topic of hiring — or, more hopefully, talent acquisition. All panelists agreed that hiring was the No. 1 growth inhibitor for most companies of any size, and that it hits SMBs harder.Turns out that one of the biggest lessons our panelists learned during COVID was to stay nimble, especially when it comes to working in-office versus remote. They all agreed that remote has moved from being the exception to the norm.
It was agreed that highly creative meetings need to be in person. When there’s a hot new idea where everyone involved — no matter where they happen to be — will be lost without a face-to-face think tank session; Zoom just doesn’t hack it. Start with a strong corporate culture. Work must give your employees meaning. They have to be proud of the company they work for and their work needs to provide a happier, healthier way of life for them.
