I couldn’t’ resist this leadership one when shared by a listener. Diving into a Harvard Business Review piece, Inc examined the change in microsoft’s approach to employees. A single fundamental word change – the company uses the word “thriving” to measure employee productivity and well-being. Rather than the previous word “engagement,” the company is shifting to focus on ensuring employees thrive.
Why do we care?
It’s a very intentional change that’s specific on the way that Microsoft leadership wants to go forward and they’re thinking much more holistically about people thriving. There’s a lesson here.
