“We must row in whatever boat we find ourselves in.”  ~ Christie Watson

 

Dear Readers, Community, Friends,

 

What floats our boats?

 

If we asked Dr. David R. Hawkins (author of many books including Letting Go, & Power vs. Force), he would say that all of our individual efforts to transcend fear and elevate our kindness and compassion sends a ripple effect out into the world, buoying everyone’s quality of life.

 

So, dip your tow into the water of fear and know that any fear we face and overcome, no matter the size, will benefit all. And, whatever brings you joy in this life – dive in – the world will thank you.

BURNOUT, BENEFITS & THE BATTLE FOR TALENT: BRIDGING THE EMPLOYEE/EMPLOYER DIVIDE

The employee experience matters more than ever in today’s workforce. Today’s employees are deeply committed to their roles in the companies they work for, but they’re also overwhelmed, burned out, and increasingly ready to move on to other experiences. For Human Resource Managers, CFOs, and CEOs, these findings pinpoint both a challenge and an opportunity: how do we close the growing gap between employer intentions and employee expectations?

Greetings!

Have you had as active a spring as we have? This time of year is always a flurry of activity, but this spring seemed amplified.

 

Platinum Group sponsored and attended the WCI HR Forum, and the WNCHRA Annual Law Update – both were informative and well-planned events.

 

The Platinum Team had a fun night at the Asheville Tourists ballgame. The weather was unbelievable, and it is always a special time to get the whole crew together.

 

My family attended the LEAF Retreat (May 9-11), which has been a special way to mark milestones in the kids’ growth, as their interests evolve each year. The event was well-attended, so I encourage you to get your tickets early for the fall retreat if you plan to go.

 

With the recent trimming of government spending, LEAF’s NEA grant was terminated. Since this grant has been one of LEAF’s primary funding sources, attending a LEAF event or offering a donation can have great impact. You can make a donation to LEAF here, become a LEAF Member, Business Member or sponsor (we are a proud sponsor of LEAF).

 

I wish you well as we head into the summer season!

 

Warm regards,

Michael
