Edition 7: December 2021

Hi,

Happy Holidays!

In the recruiting world, January is known for career changes! In our eyes, there’s no better way to ring in the New Year than by transitioning your career to focus on climate solutions!

In light of this, we wanted to highlight some of Harvard Business Review's future work norms to help our community stay ahead of the curve by creating a candidate-centric environment that aids employee retention:

- DEI will be at the forefront
- Remote work isn't going away
- Upskilling will be necessary
- Flexibility is integral
- It's necessary to re-imagine how productivity is measured

Not only do people want to work on impactful causes, but they also want to feel valued and supported as both an employee and a person.
