Description:
The pandemic fueled a global work experiment from which we learned that if employers do not adapt and evolve, employees will opt out. In response, employers are rushing to create policy-driven workforce solutions (all office / hybrid / all remote). Are these solutions data driven? Do they address the root causes of our challenges in the workplace? Do they really respond to what today’s talent is looking for from employers?

The philosophy of managing the work and not the people will help our organization engage the RIGHT people for the RIGHT roles and will no doubt help us reach our goal of being THE place to work. With growing expectations, the principle of completing our work when and how we need to is life changing for many.
ATB BUSINESS AND AGRICULTURE
If you are looking to elevate your thinking on leadership, management and the way we work, you need to book Jody Thompson. Jody's provocative and ground-breaking thinking on how to build a Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE) had our audience sitting up and paying attention. Her ability to challenge old ways of thinking about work with humor and directness is grounded with real-world experience that was highly relatable to our audience. Refreshing, pointed but still fun, Jody is the whole package. I could not recommend her highly enough.
THE ROUNDTABLE
Jody's ease with this complex material, presented in a way that had our audience on the edge of their seats on a cold Monday morning was a joy to watch. She builds rapport effortlessly which she uses to get her audience talking and thinking critically about their shared workplace struggles. Her systematic approach to organizational goals and roles under the ROWE system can revitalize any organization and put it on the path to success and sanity. Her humor and charisma had everyone engaged, asking questions and digging into the content. I give her my highest recommendation, as she is one of the best speakers I've seen.
