A few ways leaders unintentionally push Millennial talent out the door: Treating turnover as inevitable. Betting that flexibility alone keeps people engaged. Treating development as optional.

Our tip? Define your employer brand around what's true, not what's aspirational. Then be specific in hiring about what growth looks like in year one and year two. https://zurl.co/vaV4h

TalentWise is back for season three on October 7! 🎙️ More leaders, more real-time workforce challenges, and more strategies you can take straight back to your team. Listen on https://zurl.co/Bk0aH or wherever you get your podcasts.

Mentorship is often the difference between someone staying and someone quietly job hunting. Ask your Millennial employees where the gap is between what your org says it values and what they actually experience day to day.

Two Markstein birthdays to celebrate this month! 🎉

Accountant Zach Vines is always planning the next trip and down for a game night. When he's not at the gym, there's a good chance he's in the ring: Zach referees pro wrestling matches on the side!

Director of Digital Marketing Jo-Leigh Underwood is happiest on a trail, at a sushi counter ordering tuna nigiri, or home with a glass of red w**e and her dog Ada curled up beside her.

Here's to another year of adventures! (Zach, try not to get body-slammed on your big day).

New series: how organizations recruit, retain, and develop Millennial talent.

Our team recently took a field trip to the historic Alabama and Lyric Theatres in downtown Birmingham. Standing under those ceilings reminds us why this city's worth telling stories about. More to come!

A school name change. A legacy to protect. And a story that reached 970K+ online readers and 160K broadcast viewers in the first month. Here's how we helped Cristo Rey Birmingham tell it: https://zurl.co/lQ8an
