Growing Together: A Shout-Out to Our Community Heroes ☘️   A dedicated team of Grayce Analysts working at a major UK police service participated in a day of volunteering charity work with the client's charity partner, PiP - Pursuing Independent Paths.    Who is PiP? Pursuing Independent Paths (PiP) is a charity that empowers adults with learning disabilities and autism to find their voice and lead a life of their choice. They do this by providing opportunities for PiP students to move towards their version of independence.   What Happened on the day? Our dedicated team of Analysts spent the day nurturing a beautiful community garden alongside PiP members. Together, they cut back overgrown vegetation, dug out weeds, litter-picked, painted, and planted new seeds to encourage biodiversity. PiP students will go on to maintain the garden for the community to enjoy. Their green thumbs, teamwork, and dedication transformed an overgrown strip of the canal towpath into a vibrant garden.🌻🌿   A big thank you to the amazing volunteers who participated 🙌 Hana Salih, Zoe Yearsley, Julia Szepetowska, Marcus Babatunde, Renee Okocha, Daniel S., Kam Dhaliwal & Olly Monks   #CommunityImpact #VolunteerHeroes #GrowingTogether #ChangeAndTransformation

Does your organisation have an AI trust gap? 🤖   In today’s rapidly evolving technical landscape, many of us use AI to streamline our day-to-day activities. However, organisations could face an ‘AI trust gap’: as more and more organisations adopt AI, many employees are hesitant to fully embrace this change over concerns about its impact on their role.   Grayce’s Performance and Development Director, Gemma Collins talks about AI adoption in ITPro, “An open environment means employees will be more likely to buy into your vision and actively contribute towards the company’s success” Check out the link in the top comment 👇   So what can your organisation do to cross this gap?   Learning and Development: Provide training on AI, including the strengths and limitations of the AI that the organisation is adopting. This will help build confidence in using the AI tools effectively and an understanding of how AI can integrate with roles. Strategy Alignment: Build confidence by explaining why your organisation is adopting AI, how it aligns with company goals and values, how it can be used in the workplace, and, importantly, benefits to employees. Communication and involvement: Leaders must focus on transparently discussing AI adoption and involve employees in the implementation process. People support what they help to create.   #AI #AIAdoption #ChangeAndTransformation

🤔 Is your organisation successfully attracting and retaining Gen Z talent?   With different generations come different workplace preferences and expectations. Today, many high-performing teams are multi-generational, with each demographic bringing a unique perspective, shaped by their experiences (personal, technological, cultural, political, and beyond).   Almost 30% of the global workforce will be Gen Z in 2024, so it’s crucial to understand what they look for in an employer to attract and retain the best talent. At Grayce, we are experts in developing digitally-native, naturally-curious talent. Check out our research in our Purpose over Pay blog (link in comments  ).   ✔ 15% would prefer a fully office-based role ✔ 45% would not take a job if it did not meet their preferences regarding working style and location ✔ 57% say the organisation they choose to work for has a responsibility to look after their wellbeing ✔ 52% say their employer should actively improve their wellbeing ✔ 65% say their future employer should see their skills development as crucial to their wellbeing ✔ 30% say they would take a pay cut as long as the money was invested back into the organisation’s culture and wellbeing programme   #GenZ #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeEngagement #FutureOfWork
