About
In 2009 CEO and founder Kim Seeling Smith started Ignite Global after deciding that instead of being paid to put bums in seats (working as a recruiter for the 15 years prior to that) she wanted to help More
According to the most recent research by Gallup, 85% of the global workforce is disengaged. That stat that has not moved in well over a decade and COVID has not seemed to impact it at all.
In the US Gallup saw a historic rise in engagement scores shortly after COVID โ followed by an equally historic fall.
Yesterdayโs post โ https://lnkd.in/gHs_rUW provided a calculator to help you figure out how much you were losing in productivity for every member of your team who is disengaged.
I had a comment on that post asking, โWhy are they disengaged?โ
Iโm curious, what has your experience been with implicit bias training?
Having spent 15 years working as a professional recruiter and 11 years teaching hiring managers how to hire more effectively and efficiently Iโve always felt that implicit bias training was a waste of time.
There is more and more research now backing up my gut feel. Here are two articles that unpack this pretty nicely.
Even worse, there is consistent evidence that bias training done the โwrong wayโ (think lukewarm diversity training) can actually have the opposite impact, inducing anger and frustration among white employees. What this all means is that, despite the widespread calls for implicit bias training, it will likely be ineffective at best; at worst, itโs a poor use of limited resources that could cause more damage and exacerbate the very issues it is trying to solve.

Iโm cheating a bit. Last week I promised to post 3 things that I found inspiring every Friday. Today Iโm posting 20.
Last night I attended Consult Australiaโs FutureNet awards night for NSW (magnificently convened by Linda Gaunt). It was a COVID-safe event held in the Grand Ballroom of the ICC in Sydney. There were only 30 people in attendance including 19 of the 20 participants, all 4 of the mentors and the facilitators, like me, who...
๐ง๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐บ๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ โ ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ! Itโs the end of the Australian Financial year and I often get the question, โ๐๐ณ ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ?โ
To which I, of course, reply with a resounding yes!
Iโve been traveling for a conference and to spend my birthday/4th of July with my sister and best friend.
I love to spend my birthday in the US because itโs the day before the 4th of July โ which makes it a 2-day celebration, in the middle of summer โ with fireworks!
Unfortunately, the following weekend I attended the National Speakers Convention in Nashville, where I promptly got Covid and spent the next weeks isolating instead of going on a road trip with my best friend. The times we live in!
Isolation gave me lots of thinking time โ and lots of time to strategize on new content, so expect fairly regular updates now through the end of the year.
My head is just buzzing with ideas.
Starting with 2 new masterclasses.
Feel free to grab your spot at one or both โ and invite friends and colleagues.
The first is ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ถ๐บ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ ๐ง๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐๐ฐ๐พ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป.
Right, so Iโm back after almost 6 weeks. What did I miss? Other than a new PM in Australia, more gun violence in the USโฆand the fact that, according to the OECD, Australia has the second tightest skills market in the world.
You may have noticed that I havenโt been posting much over the last 5 โ 6 weeks because Iโve been in the US speaking at the annual Association for Talent Development (ATD) conference (funnily enough about employee retention).
