The world is entering into a talent migration that's bigger than anything we've seen before. We call it the #GreatReshuffle, an unprecedented moment in the history of work where all of us are rethinking not just how we work, but why we work. To me, this is a great thing. More people will be doing work they love at companies they feel passionate about, leading to greater success for organizations who engage their employees with empathy and trust. To everyone on LinkedIn who has been sharing their thoughts about the #GreatReshuffle and #NewWorldOfWork - thank you for making the conversation so insightful. I will be sharing more thoughts in the weeks to come and hope to engage all of you as we navigate the new world of work together.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Ryan Roslansky. Indeed, the #GreatReshuffle is worth analyzing at universities

I think in hindsight we'll see that the #greatreshuffle will be one of the best things to happen in the workplace. One thing that I think is missing from the conversation is how employees can find the companies who are open to this reshuffle. Very often I get asked "how do you know if a company will really be a good place or not?" To be honest, I haven't figured out the answer. I've worked at companies that are amazingly promising, only to be let down by a super conservative culture. Then there's my current company, Aurora Solar, which seemed like an obscure startup when I was interviewing and has ended up being the best place I've ever worked! I think we need a new metric (more than just Glassdoor) that gives us a "Company Honesty" score. How accurate are the promises of a company with the reality of working there.

What we will see is the CS and CX playbook being copied and applied for employees. Instead of (only) customer acquisition, we’ll have talent acquisition, and instead of CS, CX and customer retention, we’ll have ES, EX and employee retention. Everything else is just sub optimization as it all has an impact on the overall CX that a company delivers. May I dare to take on the Steve Jobs quote? ”You’ve got to start with the Employee Experience and work back toward technology - not the other way around.” No good employee experience, no good customer experience.

This #greatreshuffle in the #newworldofwork has been coming even before the pandemic in my opinion. With 4 generations in the workplace and #millennials being the largest, they have fundamentally taken a different approach to their career due to being in 2 recessions and technology creating optionality that wasn't available 10 years ago. There's been this ongoing shift from conformity to individual agency with the pandemic accelerating some key trends that were already occurring. I know because I have been studying this for years and have interviewed over 200 people to understand why people were redefining success to find meaningful fit in their lives. It ultimately led to a book I wrote about the future of work from the perspective of an individual, how they were changing and evolving, as well as what they truly want and why. This desire to be our whole self to achieve goals of happiness and fulfillment have now replaced prior targets of money, title and power and it's here to stay. Companies who aren't aligned with the work-life needs of their employees will continue to see a migration of talent.

For a long time now, corporate culture has been defined by days that are filled wall-to-wall with meetings, constant communication (email, messaging software), and a dramatic over-celebration of those employees and leaders who exhibit a higher pain tolerance for this environment. The pandemic shined a spotlight on this, and it’s no surprise that many workers have thrown up their hands and said, “Why am I doing this?” Within the #GreatReshuffle, there is a forced opportunity to step back and ask that same question- “Why are we doing this?”- in the context of how companies get work done. This goes beyond hybrid or flexible work; we should be taking this opportunity to re-evaluate the reality of day-to-day work and create a new system that actively balances business-centric productivity with human well-being.

Could the impact of the #GreatReshuffle be mitigated by empowering employees who have jobs outside of the service sector with ROWE - Results-only Work Environment? This methodology has been discussed for years but not fully embraced. Has the time has finally come where more employers will see the benefits of clearly defining the expected results of the job and what happens when you meet, exceed, or fall short of said results? I would much rather be praised for my actual accomplishments than for how much time they took to do.

5 years ago I sat down with my CEO and gave notice that I was leaving...in 10 years. fast forward 5 years and at age 65 I have resigned to start a new company where I have more control of my future, have my work passion reinvigorated, and have an opportunity to build something that will endure and reward my employees going forward. Call it the "Great Reshuffle" or "Great Resignation" or whatever, employers need to be prepared for this and find ways to keep employees who are high contributors engaged and feeling like they are valued, lest they lose them without a moments notice.

Hello Ryan Roslansky - This post is spot on ! Thanks for sharing it. I resigned from my job in March 2021 & decided to take a career break based on similar sentiments you shared in this message. The world has never been so engaging before which is bringing forward a pool of options for various skillsets. There are lot of possibilities in the great reshuffle however I feel it would be effective only if organizations are willing to experiment and take chances. #GreatReshuffle #greatresignation #newworldofwork

I was 'chuffed' to visit London this week to visit our team and sit down with Satya Nadella to talk about the future of work. As we emerge from the #GreatReshuffle, we’re entering a period of uncertainty where persistent change is the norm. There’s no going back to the way we used to work. Satya and I had the chance to talk about trends we’re seeing in the labor market, including how 2% of jobs on LinkedIn were listed as remote before the pandemic, went up to 20% in March 2022, and is now down to 15%. One thing we do know is that leaders who take an adaptive and skills-first approach will succeed. Check out the event: https://lnkd.in/duBw_Ttc. I also had an amazing visit to our office in London. We have such a strong team in the UK and it was great to reconnect and meet with so many of them. Thank you to our UK Country Manager Janine Chamberlin for hosting and to all of our employees in the region. #LinkedInLife

The world has an abundance of talent. What we lack is a way for all that talent, all over the world, to access the tools - the skills and networks and knowledge - that unlock opportunity. Harshita's story inspires me and should inspire us all, as well as the incredible work done by our non-profit partner FUEL, who are helping 50,000 students in India get access to LinkedIn Learning.

We live in a world where business cycles are quicker and more nuanced than ever. This creates new opportunities, but requires an adaptive leadership approach. The best leaders are those who get really good at managing through the cycles in their markets and their business. They are the Responsive Leaders - those who ride the waves versus Reactive leaders – those who are thrashed by them. Responsive Leaders vs. Reactive Leaders: 1. Responsive leaders constantly adapt their playbooks to capitalize on whatever circumstances arise; Reactive leaders write new playbooks to deal with circumstances happening to them. 2. Responsive leaders see cycles as an opportunity; reactive leaders see cycles as a tax and burden to be manage. 3. Responsive leaders realize that these cycles don’t hit every part of their business in the same way and have the sophistication to manage nuance; Reactive leaders use blunt tools. 4. Responsive leaders always play to win, though the plays may be different; Reactive leaders cycles between aggressively playing to win and hunkering down. 5. Responsive leaders pivot, iterate and adjust; Reactive leaders over rotate and thrash. #leadership, Melissa Selcher

I've been working alongside the advertising industry for the last 20 years, so it was a true honor to be asked by Philip Thomas, Simon Cook, and Natasha Woodwal to deliver a keynote speech at the 2022 Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity and present my vision: putting creativity at the heart of growth and economic opportunity. Here are my three takeaways: First, engage and inspire the next generation of creative talent in the advertising industry by showing them that the advertising industry is where you can build an incredible career, make promises that can change the world, and create huge economic value. Second, understand the scale of opportunity that already exists when you look at fast-growth and emerging B2B categories that have the potential to become as big as the most famous brands today. This next generation of B2B are quietly, in the background, rewiring the way we live, work, shop and consume. And third, adapt to these new categories by learning new forms of empathy. The advertising industry understands so well how households buy detergent or cereal. But to grow they’ll need to learn to understand how IT managers buy CRM software or cyber security systems. They’ll need to learn how businesses think and make decisions. It's not easy but it is worth it. For the advertising industry, B2B is where the money is going to be.

Today is World Refugee Day and we stand with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency and their 2022 message that everyone has the right to seek safety. The displacement of people is a global issue and, tragically this crisis will likely continue in the coming years as the impacts of climate change, conflict, and persecution force people from their homes. Building on our existing work to support refugees, we are committed to creating access to economic opportunity by helping those ready for work use LinkedIn to secure jobs, providing access to career training, and connecting employers to refugee talent. Back in March, we announced a $1M Refugee Relief Fund to address the immediate humanitarian needs of the refugee crisis. Today, we’re announcing an additional $1M to increase our commitment to support refugees and displaced people. This Refugee Relief Fund will enable us to provide ongoing support to nonprofit partners that are creating programs around the world for refugees seeking jobs — organizations including UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, Upwardly Global, Talent Beyond Boundaries, Metro Assist, ReDI School of Digital Integration Denmark, CareerSeekers New Australian Internship Program. Read more about what we’ve been working on as a company in my most recent article linked here. #WorldRefugeeDay #RefugeeDay #WithRefugees

Let’s Commit to Helping Refugees Find Jobs

It was an honor to speak at #VivaTech in Paris today with Maurice Lévy on leading through the pandemic, the impact of the Great Reshuffle, and trends we're seeing in the marketing and advertising space. It was especially incredible to feel the energy at the event from the startup and tech community in Europe. And a visit to Paris wouldn’t be complete without spending time with our amazing team. This was my first time visiting one of our international offices as CEO, and it was really special to be with this team that makes LinkedIn so strong in France. Thank you to our France Country Manager Fabienne Arata for hosting, the amazing musical performance from our LinkedIn Paris group, and to everyone that joined and made this possible! #LinkedInLife

This #PrideMonth, and 365 days a year, it’s more important than ever to support the LGBTQ+ community. I've had the chance to work closely with Josh Graff, our Managing Director of EMEA & LATAM, as he's been shadowing me the last few months. I've been inspired by his leadership of our Out@In employee resource group as we work towards creating a more inclusive workplace for all. #Pride #Out365

Pride Month has never been more important. Yes, it’s a wonderful time to reflect and celebrate but it's also about recommitting to the fight for equal rights. So far in 2022 alone, there have been nearly 240 anti-LGBTQ bills filed in the US, with many rolling back key workplace protections. Now is the time for us to speak out and take action. We need to elevate issues facing our LGBTQ+ community by sharing our lived experiences in the workplace and beyond. This month, I encourage those in our community to share your stories about the importance of having an inclusive workplace where everyone feels they belong, every day of the year. This could include how allies can help create a more inclusive work environment year-round or sharing what kinds of changes would help create a more equitable place to work. Speaking out, showing solidarity, and supporting the LGBTQ+ community is more important than ever. And it needs to happen 365 days a year. #pride #out365

We're in a new world of work, and there is no going back to the way things used to be. It was great sitting down with John Simons to talk about the role of culture and values in attracting and retaining employees through the Great Reshuffle and why leaders need to start building a skills first mentality, not just to address a tight labor market today but the future labor market that's coming tomorrow.
