You’re not alone—90% of employees research workplace culture before joining an organization. Clearly, culture is important to employees, but what is it exactly and how can it be embedded in the work that we do everyday? Melissa Daimler, chief learning officer of Udemy, says culture is not what happens in an office, but how work happens between people, and the observable actions that exemplify a company’s values. Be sure to check out the latest Author Talks interview to get insight on how employee interactions have become increasingly important in a world of remote work, and how your team can build a work model that honors your company’s beliefs and values. Author Talks: Don’t skip the ‘soft stuff’ No more Ping-Pong breaks or office happy hours? No matter. Melissa Daimler shares how workplace culture can still thrive without an office. Drive culture change Quote of the day “[We] also have to work really hard to overcome the strange narrative that just because you live in a rural place, you can’t code. Or just because you’re in a smaller community, you can’t come up with a new, innovative way to solve a big automation problem or a tech problem or creating rockets that work better.” —Matt Dunne, founder and executive director of the Center on Rural Innovation, on shifting the narrative on rural America in a recent episode of McKinsey’s new Future of America podcast Chart of the day See today’s chart   ALSO NEW From saving to spending: A second front emerges in the US retirement challenge While accumulation has long been a focus for pre-retirees, ensuring a consistent and sufficient stream of income through retirement is now a pressing need for many.

• Which attributes determine how well you perform?

  On Point

  Five qualities that inspire a following ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 

  TODAY'S NEWS. TOMORROW'S INSIGHTS. A daily newsletter from McKinsey & Company   Edited by Belinda Yu   Editor, Atlanta All about attributes The news • Sibling rivalry. Older siblings don’t necessarily develop stronger leadership qualities than their younger siblings: just different ones, says one psychologist. Basking in their parents’ attention helps firstborns develop self-reliance and confidence. With youngest children, parents may be more relaxed, exposing them to a variety of experiences earlier in life. In response, these kids can become enthusiastic explorers. Meanwhile, middle children—who sometimes feel overlooked—often grow up to be strong, effective communicators. [CNBC] • No crying in business? Don’t be vulnerable, stop oversharing, and definitely don’t cry at the office, conventional wisdom goes. But after two years of weathering a global pandemic and blending our personal and work lives, employers can't expect employees to keep their emotions out of the workplace. Indeed, today’s workers want their managers to show empathy, according to a recent survey of 23,000 workers. Companies are looking for leaders with softer qualities like the ability to inspire teams, one executive reveals. [Fortune] “Empathy, selflessness, authenticity, decisiveness, and accountability are behaviors that typically cause other people to say, ‘That is someone I would like to follow.’” Our insights • Attributes, not skills. When faced with stress and uncertainty, who is the “real you” who shows up? How people perform in any given situation comes down to their attributes, not just skills, says retired Navy SEAL commander Rich Diviney. Characteristics like adaptability and situational awareness are innate to humans, but developing any attribute is possible. It takes placing yourself into environments that test that trait. To become more patient, go drive in traffic, or pick the longest line to wait in at the grocery store, Diviney suggests. • Being vulnerable is key. The highest-performing teams are surprisingly vulnerable with one another, Diviney, author of The Attributes: 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance, tells McKinsey. The best SEAL team members are all “incredibly open” to sharing individual strengths and weaknesses so that everyone understands exactly when they need to lean on one another. Read the full interview, part of McKinsey’s Author Talks series, to explore five categories of attributes that affect performance. Learn about attributes Was this forwarded to you? Sign up here.

While urban areas are benefiting from automation and globalization through the creation of millions of jobs—especially in technology—rural areas are experiencing population loss and a decline in entrepreneurship. Right now, rural America represents 13 percent of the nation’s workforce but only 5 percent of the computer and math jobs. What can be done to close the gap and invest in these communities? Be sure to tune into a recent episode of McKinsey’s Future of America podcast and join the conversation. Growing and sustaining prosperity for small-town Americans The divide between rural and urban communities has widened as the COVID-19 pandemic pushes rural communities’ economic recovery further behind. How can leaders put rural regions on track to thrive? Density matters Quote of the day “[Compensation] isn’t enough to keep frontline employees. They have more options. If compensation becomes table stakes, employees look for all these additional pieces—like well-being and flexibility—to stay at a job versus go look for a new one.” —McKinsey associate partner Annie Valkova on how retailers can offer flexibility for frontline workers on a recent episode of the McKinsey on Consumer and Retail podcast Chart of the day See today’s chart ALSO NEW When will the COVID-19 pandemic end? Europe and the United States have entered the endemic stage of the COVID-19 outbreak: the virus is widespread, is significantly less fatal than it was in 2020, and is spurring only limited changes in public behavior. These endemic conditions are likely to continue through the summer and autumn, unless and until immunity-evading new variants emerge. As immunity wanes, however, the next stage remains highly uncertain.

• A leader’s guide to the new talent pool

  Share this email Share this email on LinkedIn   Share this email on Twitter   Share this email on Facebook   ESSENTIALS FOR LEADERS AND THOSE THEY LEAD   Edited by Rama Ramaswami   Senior Editor, New York If you were marketing a brand, you’d spend considerable time and money on identifying and segmenting your customers and creating personas for various categories of buyers. The changing nature of today’s workforce demands a similar approach to “selling” potential candidates on your organization. People’s expectations of their employers, jobs, and career prospects are higher than ever before, but understanding the new talent pool is about more than offering flexible hours or personalized benefits. A better approach is to take a tip from successful marketers and segment your target audience—your employees—carefully. Defining the needs of different groups of people makes it easier to hire the right talent as well as ward off attrition. Here are some strategies to get started. AN IDEA Explore nontraditional ways to attract talent The pandemic has led many people to reassess their priorities and deal with employers on their own terms, turning the Great Attrition into the Great Renegotiation. But organizational talent strategies haven’t caught up—employers still rely on outdated compensation, titles, and advancement opportunities to lure candidates. In this article based on a McKinsey global survey, our experts identify five critical employee personas that leaders must understand to meet the challenge of hiring and retaining talent. For example, “traditionalists” are career-oriented people who are mostly satisfied with attractive pay, perks, and career advancement prospects, whereas “do-it-yourselfers” value autonomy, flexibility, and meaningful work as much as or more than compensation. Evaluating employee personas enables you to analyze what different segments of workers want and figure out how best to engage them. A BIG NUMBER 46% That’s the average percentage of skills that come from work experience, which adds to the value of human capital—the collective knowledge, attributes, skills, experience, and health of the workforce. A McKinsey study of more than a million workers in the US, the UK, Germany, and India shows that the best organizations help individuals continuously upgrade their skills, earn more, and build track records that translate into value. The most effective way for workers to maximize the “experience effect” is to join an organization that recognizes their potential, embraces mobility—internal and external—and offers opportunities to learn. A QUOTE “Many countries have now put the legal framework in place to hire and relocate global talent at a cost and speed that is broadly comparable with hiring domestically.” That’s from a survey of 12 countries that shows the world becoming mostly “flat” for people who wish to work across borders. Some nations still have immigration restrictions, but many have introduced visas to attract skilled talent to their shores. In the next ten years, more than 260 million university graduates are expected to hit global labor markets. Increasing numbers of workers seek global mobility as a lifestyle choice, and the popularity of remote work means that leaders have ample flexibility to hire people from anywhere in the world. “Try before you buy” is an increasingly popular strategy: one firm begins onboarding workers remotely and then decides whether to transfer them to larger hubs to work in hybrid setups. A SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEW “It’s the boldness of role moves that’s a really important part of the story of possibility,” says McKinsey partner Anu Madgavkar in this podcast on encouraging employees to try new things. “It’s important to enable more workers to break out of what they might have thought was their destiny simply because of the level of education that they had.” Employees who make bold role changes by taking on stretch jobs or assignments tend to have had exposure to healthy and supportive organizations early in their careers, enabling them to become upwardly mobile. While individual initiative is an important factor, the onus is “equally on employers to create the conditions that help and enable the whole process of learning through work experience,” Madgavkar says. USE AND CARE No time to create worker personas? Try writing a “user manual” about yourself, and encourage your team to do the same. The concept of a personal user manual—a document outlining the best way for others to work with you—caught on in the early 2000s when executives found that providing a quick-start guide to themselves, and encouraging their coworkers to follow suit, helped colleagues adapt to one another quickly and avoid conflicts on the job. Popularized in the media and adopted by some organizations, personal user manuals reveal individual quirks, habits, preferences, and working styles. For example, you might indicate that you favor early-morning meetings or prefer face-to-face contact rather than email. Beware, though, of revealing too much information, as oversharing in the workplace is never a good idea. Lead with talent.

  On Point

  TODAY'S NEWS. TOMORROW'S INSIGHTS. A daily newsletter from McKinsey & Company   Edited by Katherine Tam   Project Manager, New York Dealing with space debris The news • Sluggish funding. In 2021, investors poured almost $47 billion into space start-ups, with $14.5 billion raised in the fourth quarter alone. But from January to March 2022, companies focusing on space only raised $7.2 billion, and second-quarter expectations are now much lower. An overall decline in space ventures is contributing to the sluggish funding, but the space sector has other challenges too. One potential issue is that space start-ups can find it difficult to control how quickly they use up cash, since hardware and R&D are very costly. [Axios] • The new space race. Big data—not big egos—is crucial to the new space race, despite the attention paid to company founders in the news, declares one astronomy professor. Synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) is revolutionizing satellite imaging. By combining all the radar echoes from any target, SAR can produce a single sharp image, regardless of cloud cover or darkness. Real-time, sharp satellite imagery could have many uses, from enabling insurers and first responders to assess damage from hurricanes quickly to spotting troop movements as they occur. [WSJ] The International Space Station has changed its orbit roughly 30 times since 1999 to avoid space junk. Our insights • Dangerous space junk. Around 11,000 satellites have entered space since the late 1950s, and there could soon be as many as 70,000, according to McKinsey’s Chris Daehnick and Jess Harrington. But what happens when the satellites no longer work? By that point, most are beyond Earth’s gravitational pull and end up stuck floating above the planet. Orbital debris, better known as space junk, can be incredibly dangerous. Today there are approximately 27,000 pieces of space junk in orbit, weighing in at roughly 9,000 metric tons. • Cleaning up. Any object in space can be unsafe, as it could float around indefinitely and collide with a satellite. For now, researchers are tracking space junk and alerting people to potential problems. They’re also working on concepts to clean up space junk, including using harpoons and nets, magnets, and a slingshot-like sweeper that moves junk back toward Earth. With space tourism becoming more feasible, it’s even more important to deal with space junk. See the ideas and technologies being proposed to clean up space junk in the latest edition of McKinsey for Kids. Explore the future of space Was this forwarded to you? Sign up here.

Thank you to all our readers for taking the time to send in book recommendations. Here are five of our favorites. Nudge: The Final Edition by Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein –R.N. (Boston, Massachusetts) Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman –V.G. (Hesse, Germany) CEO Excellence: The Six Mindsets that Distinguish the Best Leaders from the Rest by Carolyn Dewar, Scott Keller, and Vikram Malhotra –C.P.

(Oslo, Norway) The Power of Giving Away Power: How the Best Leaders Learn to Let Go by Matthew Barzun –J.B. (Bowling Green, Kentucky) IN CASE YOU MISSED IT Justin Zorn and Leigh Marz seek solace in silence: “The world is louder than it’s ever been. It’s not just a little bit more auditory noise—there is a mass proliferation of mental stimulation in our world today.” Watch the full interview. Susan Wilner Golden says companies that don’t market to the 60-plus crowd are missing out on a $22 trillion opportunity: “Traditionally, people always looked at aging as a frailty, or as a declining stage of life, but in fact, older adults are living much greater lives with longer health spans (the healthy periods of a person’s life), which enables them to be productive and to contribute to society.” Watch the full interview. Dalia Feldheim brings the #LikeAGirl message to the corporate C-suite: “There’s no such thing as a masculine brain or a feminine brain; we all have within us both masculine traits and feminine traits. … The issue we’re seeing is that the business world is collapsing to what they call the ‘wounded masculine’—a world of competition over collaboration and power over people, versus power with people.” Watch the full interview.

• As inflation jumps, surveys show consumers are changing their behavior

  The Shortlist

  Splurging is out ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 

  Share this email Share this email on LinkedIn   Share this email on Twitter   Share this email on Facebook   OUR BEST IDEAS, QUICK AND CURATED | JULY 29, 2022 View in browser This week, we look at how consumer sentiment is faring in Europe and the United States as inflation takes hold. Plus, tracking the move to the cloud in China, and an economic geographer explains what makes cities and regions dynamic. How inflation is flipping the economic script, in seven charts Concerns about inflation are growing globally, as rising prices continue to exceed forecasts. In a recent McKinsey Global Survey on economic conditions, inflation topped the list of perceived economic hazards in respondents’ home countries. The United States and European nations have been particularly affected, while Asia overall is seeing less dramatic price increases (although inflation in India is running at about 7 percent). How are consumers faring in this uncertain environment? In Europe, economic confidence is continuing to tumble, according to a McKinsey survey of European consumers. Rising prices have outpaced the invasion of Ukraine as the primary worry; across the continent, consumers hold a negative view of the state of the economy and of prospects for recovery. When asked to identify their number-one concern, 53 percent of European consumers cite price increases, up from 44 percent in an April survey. Trading down. European consumers are buying items in smaller quantities or delaying their purchases. The number of consumers who say that they have changed their shopping behavior continues to grow, from 68 percent of respondents in April to almost three-quarters in June. Many are turning to private labels, discounters, or more affordable brands. The survey also revealed that most European respondents have no immediate plans to treat themselves. While there are small differences, these trends hold true across France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Baby boomers are the most cautious in this regard, with only a quarter making plans to splurge. Gen Z is the only group where the majority of consumers intend to treat themselves with clothing purchases or eating out. Confidence game. A McKinsey US Consumer Pulse Survey conducted this spring found that despite recent headlines of sky-high inflation, consumer spending and confidence remained surprisingly strong. American consumers also expressed more confidence than those in any of the 14 countries McKinsey surveyed. Yet higher prices were driving some consumers to spend differently, with about a third switching to private labels. Since then, consumer confidence has plunged, with July numbers showing a key index at its lowest levels since early 2021.  Level-headed. McKinsey’s experts have examined many of the strategic implications of inflation, including offering seven charts that illustrate its worst effects. Rising prices have, at a minimum, altered the economic mood in many countries and could reset the global growth trajectory for years to come. For consumers and companies alike, preparing for an inflationary period (or a broader economic downturn) can help mitigate some of its worse effects. In a new article, McKinsey’s North America managing partner, Asutosh Padhi, and his coauthors discuss how US companies can build resilience and thrive in the next cycle.  OFF THE CHARTS Cloud in China: The outlook for 2025 While industries with numerous tech-savvy and digital-native companies, such as e-commerce and education, have shifted a significant portion of their IT workloads to the cloud, others have not—notably, the labor-intensive industrial and manufacturing sectors, which contribute more than a quarter of China’s GDP. But that could change quickly as the government focuses on boosting digitization and productivity in both industries. Check out our chart of the day here. PODCAST The bold moves that change careers Corporate attrition persists, but one way to win employees back is to develop their knowledge, attributes, and experiences—in short, their human capital. But how can companies determine what’s best for employees? And how much value can greater internal mobility among workers create? McKinsey partners Anu Madgavkar and Bill Schaninger, coauthors of the recent report Human capital at work: The value of experience, answer these questions and more in this edition of The McKinsey Podcast.

The beauty battleground: The sprint to win on services | Beauty companies looking to capitalize on fast-evolving trends should act on the growing convergence of brands that offer beauty products and brands that offer services. INTERVIEW Three questions for Andrés Rodríguez-Pose Andrés Rodríguez-Pose, a professor of economic geography at the London School of Economics, focuses on regional growth and inequality, innovation, migration, and development strategies. The following is an excerpt from a recent edition of the McKinsey Global Institute’s Forward Thinking podcast. What factors make a particular place successful? There is no single factor that makes a place dynamic. Things that make a city or region dynamic today may not make it dynamic in a few years’ time. Most of my friends in urban economics would tend to say that big cities are typically successful places. That combination of agglomeration and density in big cities has made them highly dynamic throughout history. But cities have come and gone, and they have periods of high growth and low growth. London, for example, has been very prosperous and, especially over the last quarter of a century, very dynamic. However, that has not always been the case. From the 1930s until the mid-1990s, it had a worse economic performance than the rest of the UK. Cities and regions have to reinvent themselves constantly. To do that, they have to have the right human capital, the right accessibility, and the right infrastructure that can also adapt to different conditions. Having the right institutions is crucial: weak institutions will prevent talent and innovative capacity from emerging. Many countries have opted for devolution or decentralized administration as a way to shore up regions that are lagging behind. How effective is that trend? When we look at the returns of devolution across the world, especially in terms of economic growth and employment generation, it’s not that decentralized governments have been far more successful than centralized governments. In fact, in many parts of the world, and especially in parts of the developing world, decentralization has been an outright disaster. Not because decentralization, per se, is bad. Decentralization can deliver far greater returns because it matches policies to the needs of people that might vary. The main problem with decentralization is that it’s normally done at the wrong time and with the wrong methods. Most countries decentralize in periods of political and economic crisis. Meaning that it’s done top down, without strong demand or strong capacity by local governments. Often, central governments are reluctant to transfer resources. As a result, we end up with what is known as unfunded mandates—limited resources for the number of tasks that local governments have to do. Therefore, they end up doing them not particularly well. You’ve written compellingly about ‘the revenge of the places that don’t matter.’ What do you mean by that? Everything is intertwined. So when you have economic problems, they sooner or later become serious political problems. We’re seeing this trend in the developed world and in many parts of the emerging world. Let’s take France as an example. Over the last quarter of a century, only the region of Paris has grown above the national average. That means that all other regions have grown below the national average. That is a phenomenal process of economic polarization in a country that remains highly prosperous. In China, economic polarization increased rapidly in the second half of the 1980s and throughout the 1990s, with very rapidly growing coastal areas and big cities around the coast, and a much less dynamic inland. What did the Chinese government do? It tried to promote development inland with more active policies, including by developing infrastructure and investing strategically in research facilities inland to improve the quality of education and training. We need to have dynamic big cities, dynamic medium-size cities, and dynamic small cities, towns, and rural areas. Because when we have that, we maximize talent and innovation and help to minimize the polarization that leads to political tension. — Edited by Barbara Tierney Share this Three Questions BACKTALK Have feedback or other ideas?

  TODAY'S NEWS. TOMORROW'S INSIGHTS. A daily newsletter from McKinsey & Company   Edited by Belinda Yu   Editor, Atlanta A global view of health The news • ‘Zombie cells.’ Discrimination, problems with family life, and other forms of social stress can prematurely age the immune system, according to one recent study. People who report being highly stressed exhibit lower levels of disease-fighting cells and higher levels of “zombie cells,” which are cells that are no longer capable of dividing. Immune aging can make vaccines less effective and contribute to health problems like cancer and heart disease. Taking deep belly breaths is one way to counteract stress. [CNN] • You’ve got a friend. Maintaining strong friendships can help people stay healthy, but many are lonely. In the US, 12% of Americans reported having no close friends in 2021, up from 3% in 1990. Feeling lonely and being isolated from loved ones can hurt in more ways than one. Such conditions have been linked to increased risk for anxiety and depression, among other issues. It can be tough for time-crunched adults to make new friends, so one place to start could be reconnecting with old ones, suggests one psychologist. [NYT] In most countries, a higher share of respondents younger than 24 reported fair or poor social health than did those over age 65. Our insights • Beyond physical health. “Health” is often thought of in physical terms. In fact, about 75% of health studies focus on physical health while excluding other critical aspects of health. But individuals around the world define health much more broadly, reveal McKinsey senior partner Martin Dewhurst and colleagues. A new survey finds that about 85% of respondents in 19 countries rank mental and physical health as either very or extremely important, while 70% and 62%, respectively, say the same about social and spiritual health. • Lean on me. Across countries, genders, and age groups, many residents report that their family and friends—even more than public- and private-healthcare systems and communities—offer the highest level of support for their health. The lowest percentage of respondents, 7%, describe the support of family and friends as “not applicable.” Explore attitudes toward health around the world, and learn what individuals and organizations could gain from developing a more comprehensive view of health.

  TODAY'S NEWS. TOMORROW'S INSIGHTS. A daily newsletter from McKinsey & Company   Edited by Belinda Yu   Editor, Atlanta Live long and prosper The news • Strike a pose. If you want to live longer, pose like a flamingo. In a recently published study, researchers asked people aged 51 to 75 to stand on one leg for ten seconds. Seven years later, those that weren’t able to maintain their balance were 84% more likely to have died. Having good balance is tied to overall health. It’s especially important for older people, who can become seriously injured by falling. Feeling wobbly? Practice balancing by starting small; for instance, try standing on one leg while holding onto a chair. [Axios] • Older workers welcomed. Job applicants with gaps in their resumes used to be regarded with suspicion, but nowadays, many employers host reentry programs for experienced workers who, after some time away from the workforce, are rebooting their careers. Return-to-work initiatives are gaining traction among private employers due to labor shortages and longer life spans. And public-sector employers are starting to launch programs that make reentering the workforce easier, including for previously retired workers who are charting a second act. [MarketWatch] “The 60-plus economy is worth over $22 trillion worldwide. Every business and entrepreneur should be thinking about how we can support healthy aging and longer life spans.” Our insights • The longevity economy. People are living decades longer, yet we don’t have the products and services to support healthy aging across longer life spans, says Stanford Graduate School of Business lecturer Susan Wilner Golden. That’s the idea behind the longevity economy, which includes all of the economic activity that will sustain older lives. In the US that market is worth more than $8.6 trillion. By adapting their offerings to be multigenerational, companies can expand their customer base and help people live healthier, more purposeful lives. • Stealth features. “Big, beige, and boring” are the typical characteristics of products designed for older adults, but it doesn’t have to be that way, says Golden. Introducing “stealth features” for older people makes devices and machines easier for them to use but in a way that doesn’t call out the accommodations. For example, BMW has redesigned its entire dashboard, recognizing that older drivers may need bigger dials and more contrast in color, but has kept the exterior of the car the same.
