    Safe & Sound: A Critical Shift towards Psychological Safety with Kathy Pike

    What does it take to create workplaces where people feel safe to speak up, take risks, and innovate without fear of failure? Well, the answer can be summed up in two words: psychological safety.  Psychological safety is not just a trend or a culture that is “easy” on employees. It's a business philosophy that seeks to empower teams and boost performance.  So in this episode of In Good Companies, we’re diving into the increased attention being paid to psychological safety in the workplace — what it is, why it matters and how to build it into your organization’s DNA. To open this important conversation, we’re bringing in a mental health advocate with 30 years experience in the field: Kathy Pike, CEO of the non-profit One Mind at Work. With a career spanning academia and the private sector, Kathy brings a global perspective to the challenges and opportunities of workplace well-being. Together with our host Ari Marin, they break down why psychological safety should be treated as a strategic business priority, and explore practical ways to embed it into leadership and operations. They also discuss the benefits of psychological safety for attracting talent, improving team performance, and shaping the future of work. Make room for humanity and tune in to unlock the full potential of corporate well-being for your business.  Highlights: What Psychological Safety really means (1:09)Why we’re talking more about mental health in the workplace (3:36)“Mental health and well being is a strategic imperative for the future of work” (5:59)Psychological Safety to improve your leadership and performance (8:11)The Mental Health at Work Index (10:11)Proving the benefits of Psychological Safety (12:16)Examples of company initiatives that promote Psychological Safety (14:36)Questions leaders should ask to assess Psychological Safety (17:32)“Being kind means being prepared to have difficult conversations” (19:57)Diversity as a contributor to Psychological Safety (21:48)Mental health support: the challenge of remote work (23:44)How workplaces are evolving and what it means for social connection (26:51) Links: Cadence Bank WebsiteCadence Bank X (Twitter)Cadence Bank LinkedInCadence Bank YouTubeKathy Pike WebsiteKathy Pike LinkedInOne Mind at Work WebsiteOne Mind at Work YouTubeThe Mental Health at Work IndexArticle - One Mind's Mental Health at Work IndexArticle - The Hybrid Work Model and Loneliness in the WorkplaceBook - The Return of Kindness, by Bonnie Hayden Cheng  Feedback: If you have questions about the show or topics you'd like discussed in future episodes, email our producers, Eydie.Pengelly@cadencebank.com or Danielle.Kernell@cadencebank.com.

    A Whole New World: ESG as a Business Opportunity, with EY’s Marie Johnson and Brandon Sutcliffe

    Over the last decade, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investments have exploded; as evidenced by global market projections, which predict 40 trillion dollars in ESG assets by 2030.  That will not only reshape our financial markets, but also our consumer choices, our recruitment prospects, the range of our suppliers, and even our leadership strategies. So how do we seize that opportunity for change? What new possibilities does ESG open up?  We answer these questions with two of the leading voices from EY Sustainability: Marie Johnson and Brandon Sutcliffe. Every day, these two experts in Business and Financial Sustainability help companies integrate ESG goals into their core strategies and operations. From stakeholders to customers, they show leaders how to reach the next stage of their development. Today, they bring their wisdom to In Good Companies and help us see how Environmental, Social, and Governance goals can add value to our businesses. They undo misconceptions around sustainability, share strategies to implement effective reporting, and lift the veil on what will drive the transition towards ESG practices. Spoiler alert: it involves your stakeholders, your clients, your governance, and a component of education. To round up their conversation with Ari, Brandon and Marie will also discuss the development of ESG regulations and help us prepare for the future by asking: what’s next?  No matter where you’re coming from, sustainability is part and parcel of everyone’s business, so get ready to answer the bell.  Highlights: Introducing EY Sustainability, with Marie and Brandon (1:47)What does ESG look like for day-to-day business?

    [Fan Favorite] Showing Appreciation: Love As a Business Strategy

    How much better would the world be if everyone loved going to work? How much more engaged would we be? How much more efficient? That’s the vision of Mohammad Anwar and Chris Pitre (Softway Solutions and Culture+), two co-authors of the Wall Street Journal-bestseller Love as a Business Strategy. They want to revolutionize the way companies do business, by putting people at the center of every decision. But this idea didn’t come out of nowhere. It was born from the real life transformation of their company, Softway Solutions.  While we're taking a well-deserved Thanksgiving break, we’re telling that story: how a leader learned to appreciate his team and, in doing so, transformed his company and himself. This episode is a "best of" re-run from Season 3 and is worth every minute! Mohammad founded Softway Solutions when he was 20 years old, and he’d grown the business to over 300 employees since its inception. But by 2015, the company had developed a toxic culture, and Mohammad was known for his unprofessional outbursts. With the business struggling, morale was low. Two weeks after Chris was hired, Softway Solutions laid off a third of its workforce by gathering them in a conference room and telling them all at once. Mohammad didn’t know if the business would last another month. But then he had a realization, and together he and Chris went on a journey to institute a “culture of love.” Through slow, quiet work, Mohammad changed his behaviors and made Softway Solutions a place that employees loved. Success soon followed. Now, they help other businesses change their own cultures. On this episode, we’ll explore the leader’s role in a culture of love: their responsibilities, behaviors and how they stand to benefit. So, join us, as we answer the question: “What’s love got to do with it?” Highlights: Meet Mohammad Anwar & Chris Pitre (1:12)What is “love as a business strategy”? (2:22)The origins of Softway (3:23)The infamous “Dirty fridge” email (5:44)Softway’s darkest day  (9:39)Why it’s hard to be a leader (12:02)Mohammad’s epiphany (15:07)Misconceptions about the culture of love (17:21)Perks are not culture (20:21)Culture eats strategy for breakfast, but behaviors eat culture for lunch (21:29)Redefining leadership (23:11)Changing behavior (26:30)Trickle-down culture (28:21)The role of forgiveness (30:15)Softway’s turnaround (31:35)No excuses (35:54)Seneca Leaders (38:28)Links: Cadence Bank WebsiteCadence Bank TwitterCadence Bank LinkedInMohammad Anwar LinkedInChris Pitre LinkedInSeneca LeadersLove as a Business Strategy - BookLove as a Business Strategy - Podcast Softway WebsiteCulture+ WebsiteSeason 3 Episode 6 - All You Need Is Love: The origins of “Love as a Business Strategy”Season 3 Episode 7 - Everlasting Love: Sustaining a Culture of LoveFeedback: If you have questions about the show or topics you'd like discussed in future episodes, email our producers, eydie.pengelly@cadencebank.com or danielle.kernell@cadencebank.com.
