the Offer with Michael Glinter

Special Guest – Sheila Mathias     As we talk more and more about the employee experience in the workplace, we also need to reflect on the need for better organizational and employee development strategies. Mentorship programs can provide many opportunities to help employees who expect development, not just employment, and to address non-linear career mobility. Mentorship helps the company address...

Special Guest – Kelly Franklin   In this episode, we break down why those first three months can define the entire trajectory of a new hire’s success—or failure. Too many organizations take a “figure it out” approach, leaving employees overwhelmed, disengaged, and underperforming. We will walk through what a structured onboarding program should actually look like, how to build a clear and intentio...

There has been a growing trend of people taking to social media to blame hiring companies and their processes for their rejections from roles. The truth is, they should be looking at themselves. There are obvious reasons people don’t get hired for roles, and they usually stem from the candidate themselves. In this episode, we take an inward look at why candidates don’t get the positions they belie...

Special Guest – Flo LaBrado     In 2020, I made a major shift in my life. I left the industry that I had been in for over 21 years to pursue fulfillment.

We used to call this the midlife crisis; however, in recent years we have seen a major shift, with people in their 20s asking the exact same que...

The wrong questions can expose bias, create legal risk, turn off top performers, and c...

Special Guest – Josh Troche    Employee expectations didn't shift overnight. The evolution of work beyond just a paycheck happened in waves over the last few decades. The tipping point that accelerated these expectations was the COVID pandemic. COVID forced people to reevaluate time, health, family, commute, and purpose.  Many of you will remember the post-pandemic "Great Resignation,&qu...

Season 3 Premiere!  The top reason why people leave jobs is Poor Management ("The Bad Manager Effect"). The saying "People don't quit jobs, they quit managers" has held true for decades.

The #1 Rule any company should live by is if a customer complains, let them.  It doesn't necessarily make them right because they are complaining and trying to tell you how to do things. However, the last thing you should do is tell them they are wrong!    I recently had a bad experience with a big retail corporation.  This episode will open your eyes to a lot of things. Most importantly, how...

Special Guest: Jeffrey Luft, Supply Chain Expert, and Consultant    A few months ago, economists generally thought that the bottlenecks across US supply chains, shipping, and the labor market could all be explained by "temporary" factors caused by the pandemic.

Special Guest: Lauren Winans We can't find people.  The labor market is dry.  Job vacancies go unfilled.  Those in the workforce are being thrown higher and higher wages just to get employees to work for them.
