Nike Diversity Chief resigns after two years

Image
Nike’s Director of Diversity and Inclusion, Kellie Leonard is stepping down after just two years in the role, people briefed on the matter said. According to reports, Kellie Leonard will be replaced by Felicia Mayo, VP- HR, Nike. Reasons for Leonard’s departure were not immediately clear. In an email to employees on Monday, John Donahoe, CEO, Nike called the moves “a structural shift” which “allows for more meaningful change, focusing on equal access to opportunity for all” employees. He thanked her for her 18 years service at the company. Leonard, who previously served in Nike’s investor relations team, took on the newly-created role in the spring of 2018 as the company grappled with complaints from employees about a boys’ club culture. She did not respond to a request for comment. The US group last week said it would spend between $200 MN to $250 MN in one-time costs associated with lay-offs this summer, as the company restructures. Donahoe, a longtime Nike board member, and a former...

How to design an online learning experience (LX) that truly engages

Image
What inspires me to stay and contribute in the people development space is this enduring image of a learner’s eyes lighting up with new insight and understanding upon arriving at his or her own ‘a-ha’ moments in the learning process. This, oftentimes, leads to a powerful personal transformation. When COVID-19 hit, prompting many training providers to take their offerings online, my team and I did the same with our workplace coaching programme. In the process, I realise that the principles of designing an engaging course, whether it be onsite or online, are essentially the same. And it is surprisingly easy and fun to adapt these facilitation principles for online sessions. In this article, I share 3 practical strategies for designing online learning experiences that my team and I have personally applied in a number of webinars offered in the past two months to over 300 leaders and managers. The positive success we have had encouraged us to curate and share these strategies in a how-to a...

Google to extend work from home till summer 2021

Image
Google has announced that it will extend its coronavirus work from home order to through June 2021. Earlier employees were expected to join back office in January 2021. Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, in an email to employees shares, “To give employees the ability to plan ahead, we are extending our global voluntary work from home option through June 30, 2021 for roles that don’t need to be in the office.”  "I hope this will offer the flexibility you need to balance work with taking care of yourselves and your loved ones over the next 12 months," said Pichai. The move makes the tech giant the first major U.S. corporation to set such an extended timeline. Google appears to be bracing itself for a long pandemic and that could prompt other businesses to follow suit. The decision is said to impact most of the company’s roughly 200,000 full-time and contract employees. Most tech companies have announced that the bulk of employees can work from home until the end of 2020, or haven’t ...
