Eric KnaufGUEST
But what I found, so I found an article that was published in HBR, Harvard Business Review, in 2019.
Eric KnaufGUEST
They featured a story that was put together by BetterUp.
Eric KnaufGUEST
And what FedRope found was that companies that have belonging outperform in the market, beats their competition by 56%.
Eric KnaufGUEST
They have half the attrition, 75% less sick leave, and 4x the throughput on innovation.
Eric KnaufGUEST
And each one of the pillars has something similar.
Eric KnaufGUEST
Another one that actually caught my attention around psychological safety was a study that found you could actually predict attrition six to eight months in advance if there's low belonging.
Eric KnaufGUEST
So going back to the original study by BetterUp, you can cut attrition by 50% by simply fostering an environment that provides those five things, psychological safety, inclusion, support, connection, and purpose.
Eric KnaufGUEST
So that for me was the aha moment.
Matt WilkinsonGUEST
[laughs]
Kinsey SchofieldHOST
... your Substack? Uh, I love that you reported on your Substack that Harry is no longer working for BetterUp.
Matt WilkinsonGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Kinsey SchofieldHOST
Considering how prominent that relationship was promoted when he joined the company, what was it, chief impact officer?
Matt WilkinsonGUEST
I don't know.
Matt WilkinsonGUEST
I only found out about it the last couple of weeks, 'cause I was like, "Well, why is he moved to, you know, does he have any job?" So as I'm trying to investigate to see whether he actually had a job.
Matt WilkinsonGUEST
You know, I know he sleeps in and he struggles to get to the school run, so why on earth can't he actually, you know, can't actually do that? What's he actually doing for a living? Yeah, and he, he left BetterUp last year.
Matt WilkinsonGUEST
That, that, that, that, that, he no longer gets paid any money to, to, to be a Chimpo.
Stacey BaumGUEST
So that's one of the broad brushstrokes that we have now that I think we're ahead of the curve and re able to afford to offer t to any employee that's in management and coaching programs out there.
Stacey BaumGUEST
We've been partnering with BetterUp and that program has been really well received.
Stacey BaumGUEST
Maybe sometime on the podcast, we'll have one of our employees that have successfully completed that and shared their story.
Stacey BaumGUEST
But we've had a number of employees just be very emotional about that journey through BetterUp and improving personally and professionally.
Stacey BaumGUEST
And it feels really good that we're a part of having that impact on our people.
Bob WhalenHOST
Stacey, what are some of the components of the Better Up program? So what could an employee, you know, educate themselves on using the Better Up program, you know, as part of their development?
David CooperHOST
pros? Is this a new social skill I got to learn? How to use AI and how it'll be perceived by others when I do?
Sarah E. NeedlemanGUEST
I would say yes in the sense that, so there was a survey in late 25 from BetterUp and Stanford School, a social media lab.
Sarah E. NeedlemanGUEST
They found that 40% of 1,150 full-time U.S. desk workers had received AI slap from a coworker in the preceding month.
Sarah E. NeedlemanGUEST
And they said dealing with each instance took on average nearly two hours.
David CooperHOST
is this the new way to navigate office politics to use ai with sort of like social subtlety so that people won't see you in a certain negative way you'll still be seen as productive but you won't be seen as someone who i don't know annoys people inundating them with tons of pros is this a new social skill i gotta learn how to use ai and how it'll be perceived by others when i do
Sarah E. NeedlemanGUEST
I would say yes in the sense that – so there was a survey in late 25 from BetterUp and Stanford School, a social media lab.
Sarah E. NeedlemanGUEST
They found that 40% of 1,150 full-time U.S. desk workers had received AISLA from a coworker in the preceding month.
Sarah E. NeedlemanGUEST
And they said dealing with each instance took on average nearly two hours.
Martin SeligmanGUEST
But the problem for me was its intellectual pointy-headedness.
Martin SeligmanGUEST
About seven years ago, Gabriella Kellerman and I, with BetterUp, called together a meeting of about 10 of us to ask the question about mattering.
Martin SeligmanGUEST
Is mattering a better notion? And what we found, both in our meeting and then our subsequent research, that if I asked you, John, how much do you matter to your family? If you disappeared tomorrow, vanished, what would happen to your family? How much do you matter to Passion Struck? Would it keep going? People had a very good handle on how much they mattered.
Martin SeligmanGUEST
They could talk about it articulately, and they could rate it on a one to seven scale for their family, for their work, and for the world.
Gleb TsipurskyGUEST
There was something like eight executives in the group, mid-sized businesses.
Gleb TsipurskyGUEST
And when I started talking about shame, one of them told me that he just had an experience in this company like this.
Gleb TsipurskyGUEST
So he's a CEO.
Gleb TsipurskyGUEST
And the VP of sales did a big presentation that the VP of sales does every year on the best client that they got that year, the largest client.
Gleb TsipurskyGUEST
So it describes all the contacts, how they got them, all the stuff and implications for the company and so on.
Gleb TsipurskyGUEST
Now, after the presentation, which went swimmingly, it went great, the VP of sales, and this is a presentation to the other executives, the VP of sales came to the CEO privately and said, hey, I want to tell you something.
Gleb TsipurskyGUEST
Previous years, this took me about three days to do, as you know.
Gleb TsipurskyGUEST
And so people don't talk about how they're using AI.
Matt WilkinsonHOST
And Harry doesn't have a job.
Matt WilkinsonHOST
He doesn't work for Better Up anymore.
Matt WilkinsonHOST
That was a stream income.
Matt WilkinsonHOST
Everything he has in the UK is all charities and patronages.
