What is top of mind for you right now?

Are you a manager or a human resource professional? As you start the year, what challenges are you grappling with? Do you have a solution, or are you testing some ideas to resolve them? I plan to use some of my blog posts to discuss the challenges employers are facing, and we can use the collective brilliance of the community to address them.   

I meet monthly with a group of international Talent management professionals who support fundraising teams, and I ask them what is top of mind for them right now.   
Issues that made the top of the list include:  

• Inability to recruit  
• Retaining talents  
• The increased request for fully remote roles rather than hybrid  
• Managing in a hybrid world   
• Creating a culture in place-based organisations in a hybrid world.

​
Misery loves company, they say; I was slightly relieved that it is not just a UK challenge. Still, it made me think of our collective experience and the many brilliant resources out there that we can experiment with together. From next week, I will post something on one of these topics, and I hope you all can contribute your thoughts and ideas on how we can address this.   

In the meantime, what is top of mind for you right now? Is there any article, book, or resource you have come across that has helped answer your burning people question? Please share or comment below.
