It is always a pleasure to partner with the SC Asphalt Pavement Association. Their staff and board leadership have worked diligently to plan and implement a rigorous curriculum for their emerging leaders in the industry. To be a part of the kickoff of the inaugural year was thrilling!

I enjoyed the opportunity to speak at the Lexington Chamber and Visitors Center's Women's Leadership Council on 5 Generations @ Work. It is a complex situation, but the solution is open, respectful communication and intentional listening to understand each generation and what strengths they bring to your workforce table.

The newsfeed for September was "Quiet Quitting." The newsfeed the first five days of October is "Quiet Firing."

I spoke at a national conference last week about generational differences, especially with Gen Z, impacting organizations' ability to recruit and retain their workforce. Afterwards, people came to speak, ask questions, and give me their business cards. One lady came up to me and said she did not have a card, but she had written her name on the back of a Nevada state flag sticker, which was where she was from. She said, “I wondered what I was going to do with this sticker, but once they introduced you, I knew it was for you!" Y'all. Who knew?

I always leave a handwritten “Thank you!” on hotel stationery with a daily tip for the housekeeper, so they know the money is intended for them. One housekeeper, about three years ago, was the first one who wrote me back!

If you ever doubt the power of kindness and a handwritten note, just try it! Her notes are now bookmarks in my Bible, so that I can focus on the power of small gestures; the difference it can make in a day and a life; and to remember her in my prayers. (The irony of casino note paper lodged in my Bible also registered. 😉😏😜)

HR Managers need to be aware that even though the CDC has relaxed mask guidelines, OSHA has not. It might be best to take a "wait and see" approach in the meantime.

"Let's not run off and do anything too drastic, because we will need to wait and see what OSHA says," one attorney told HR Dive.
