    Upskilling and Reskilling for a Tech-Driven Future

    On this episode of Back to Work, we are joined by Becca Donovan, director of HR and organizational development at Yoh, for a crash course in upskilling and reskilling. As the competition for talent intensifies, companies are increasingly employing these processes to attract, retain and elevate their workforce. The opportunities for learning and development enabled by upskilling and reskilling are mutually beneficial – employees can enhance their skillsets and advance their careers, while employers can adapt to industry changes and be perceived as forward-looking. Becca breaks down the differences between upskilling and reskilling, turning to Yoh’s own benefits as examples. She also provides step-by-step guidance for companies seeking to develop or strengthen their upskilling and reskilling programs, including tips for measuring impact, collaborating with hiring managers and HR partners, and supporting employees as they grow. The best efforts, according to Becca, are driven by leaders who take time to explain the ‘why’ and demonstrate to employees how upskilling and reskilling programs can improve their day-to-day work experiences. The episode concludes with a discussion on best practices for using upskilling and reskilling to future-proof operations and encourage employees to embrace new technology, including artificial intelligence and automation. With these tools constantly reshaping the world of work, companies are being asked about their position on upskilling and reskilling more than ever. Organizations that prioritize employee development are best positioned to attract talent, retain talent and, ultimately, grow their business.

    The Burnout Epidemic: How Employers and Employees Can Take Action

    Burnout is not just an individual issue; it has become an organizational crisis that is reshaping modern workplaces seemingly every day. A recent Harris Poll conducted by Yoh revealed that nearly one in three employed Americans experienced burnout in the past year. Even more concerning is that many workers do not recognize the signs of burnout until they are already deep into exhaustion, disengagement, and declining productivity. In this episode of Back to Work, Dr. Bryan Robinson—a licensed psychotherapist and expert on work addiction and author of more than 40 books, including Chained to the Desk, #Chill: Turn Off Your Job and Turn On Your Life and Daily Writing Resilience—discusses the root causes of workplace burnout and offers recommendations for hiring managers on how to foster a healthier work culture. The conversation also emphasizes the impact of burnout on middle managers, a group that is often overlooked yet significantly affected. As companies push for increased productivity amid economic uncertainty, Dr. Robinson cautions against the dangers of work addiction and the long-term consequences of a workforce that is burned out. With nearly one in three American workers experiencing burnout in the past year, Dr. Robinson provides actionable strategies for leaders to transition from outdated management styles to a more empathetic, strengths-based approach.
