First question: What benefits make someone want to stay at your company today?

00:13

A) Well-being first.B) True flexibility.C) Grow or leave. D) The wild card.

00:19

They're all very important and interesting, but in this case I'm going to choose: Well-being.

00:24

Well, I think all three are very important, but I'm leaving to choose between: growing or leaving,as the head of talent development that I am.

00:39

How's it going?Hi, Carla. How are you?Well, it's great to see you again—this isn't the first time where we get together to talk about things that matter to us.

00:47

I think those three are essential, but I said, "Well, let's stick to the basics." And the bottom line is that well-being comes first.

00:53

The situation right now is very delicate.Because there's been a lot of talk about it everywhere well-being, psychological well-being, emotional well-being, well-being at work, they give him nicknames.

01:04

And everyone thinks that well-being means feeling comfortable.

01:07

I think language conveys that feeling very well—it’s about feeling good.

01:12

And when you're doing well, what happens?You're doing great.

01:15

Yeah, I totally agree—it's a term you actually told me, too.

01:18

And I agree, and I think part of what you're getting at is also the fact that Nowadays, many people and in many contexts talk about well-being and it seems that the solution is usually just a quick fix,Instead of just applying Band-Aids and failing to address the root of the problem, we need to get to the root of it.

01:36

Of course, because wellness isn't just about doing occasional activities like "Let's go out to the field and play a game together" or "We're going to pay for the gym," because that's a condition.

01:50

That too. I mean, it's not well-being; it's a condition that improves.your work situation—which is certainly wonderful,For some generations, it’s essential—I have no doubt about that.

02:02

But well-being is something much more basic; it's a feeling we have people to be in balance, to be at their full potential,knowing that you can handle whatever comes your way, that you have a problem,Well, just take it in stride.

02:17

And for that, we don't just need to go to the gym and stay in shape,We also need the organizational context to include a series of conditions, which are not actions, but conditions.

02:30

And what are they?Well, first of all, the work has to be structured in a way that one that makes it easier for people to work effectively.

02:39

And, to be honest, this isn't really questioned much.

02:43

We need to carefully consider how those tasks are organized,that workload, those schedules we have—what kind of which tasks you're working on.

02:51

As a development manager, you know very well that people have different skills, different abilities,different ways of approaching things, and that there are things we're really good at and things that just happen to us.

03:03

So, to the extent that the organization is able to to enable people who are good at certain tasks to the more they can tackle, the better they'll do them.

03:14

So, there is a very important, strategic task,structuring the organization to create a healthy environment.

03:23

Because ultimately, what we're seeing is that the workplace It does not allow people to develop properly; it does not promote well-being.

03:31

So what does that mean?On leave.In sick leave, in absenteeism, in workplace errors On rotation.

03:42

In the rotation, of course.In other words, we have some very clear indicators and spectacular, telling us where we're going and how we're getting there That's not the way to go; we need to do things differently.

03:54

I agree; I had a lot of doubts about wellness First, grow or leave, but I'm in development and can't do anything else.

04:01

Likewise, I believe that well-being comes first and is the foundation of everything,I picture it as a pyramid, and I think the Progress would perhaps be like another step forward, something complementary,such as the past perfect tense.

04:14

So, for me, the very idea of progress is very important.

04:17

The feeling of being in a place where you feel like you're making progress and you feel that you're moving forward, that you're in tune with what you're doing,and that your purpose is directly related to whatever you're doing, whatever project you have the company is very important.

04:29

It's very important to feel challenged in your daily life.

04:32

For me, my main focus is on creating these environments where everything The world has its own ways of growing, its own paths of development solid and well-organized.

04:41

Second question: How can you tell when your team is about to leave?
