PIE 2019: A Wake-Up Call for Parking Employers – Laney Solutions

PIE 2019: A Wake-Up Call for Parking Employers – Laney Solutions

 

 

 

The customer comes first. It’s a mantra heard in so many companies these days, but it’s one that is deeply flawed. See, there’s a problem with putting customers first.

 

 

It means that employees come in second, at best.

So much energy is spent today surrounding innovation, technology upgrades, and customer, yet many of us fail to recognize the importance of creating a positive employment experience for employees.

After all, a business is only successful as its employees, and that goes for any industry.

Whether you are a business owner, manager, or professional looking to move to a management role, those of us in the parking industry must understand how to attract and retain talent today.

This topic has never been more important than now. Between the mobility revolution and the record low US unemployment rates, parking employers are having to work increasingly hard to hang on to their best talent.

Furthermore, the employee-employer relationship has evolved and looks much different than even just a few years ago. The employee journey is fluid, and organizations must plan for movement into, within, and out of their company with flexibility and ease. Employees look at their jobs now as opportunities to pursue their passions, experience professional growth, gain new experiences, and expand their networks. And more and more, if employees aren’t getting these, they’ll leave.

To help managers and leaders in the parking industry develop strategies and tactics that will attract and retain top parking talent, Kathleen Laney of Laney Solutions will host the panel discussion, “Shifting Gears: How Hiring and Managing Parking Talent is Evolving in Today’s Mobility Market” at the PIE Expo in Chicago. This session will focus on how parking employers can create a positive employee experience to gain a competitive talent edge.

Take the wake-up call and don’t miss Kathleen’s session on Wednesday, March 13 at 10 am as she examines top parking employer’s issues with:

  • Stephane Jean-Marc Adovelande, General Manager – Chicago, LAZ Parking
  • Bryan Blackwell, Vice President of Business Development & Marketing – Amano McGann
  • Vanessa Solesbee, CAPP, Parking & Transit Manager – Town of Estes Park
  • Nicole Wylie, General Manager, SpotHero

PIE 2019: Shift Your Talent Strategy to Meet the Realities of Today – Laney Solutions

 

 

 

 

With the 2019 Parking Industry Expo just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about how you are going to plan your busy days in Chicago.

 

 

 

Make sure to mark a spot on your calendar for what is certainly going to be a highlight of this year’s show, the panel discussion, “Shifting Gears: How Hiring and Managing Parking Talent is Evolving in Today’s Mobility Market,” hosted by Kathleen Laney, President of Laney Solutions.

With unemployment at an all-time low, the job market is now largely candidate-driven, with more jobs available than candidates to fill them. For parking employers, that means it’s getting harder and harder to find and keep quality talent.  And in today’s fast-changing world of mobility, it’s important for parking employers to attract and retain the best teams possible in order to stay agile and competitive.

During this panel discussion, Kathleen will sit down with four of parking’s brightest leaders from various industry sectors to consider questions related to recruitment, retention, and management of employees. This will be an engaging session complete with audience interaction, games and thought-provoking discussions. Please join Kathleen on Wednesday, March 13that 10 am as she examines top parking employer’s issues with:

  • Stephane Jean-Marc Adovelande, General Manager – Chicago, LAZ Parking
  • Bryan Blackwell, Vice President of Business Development & Marketing – Amano McGann
  • Vanessa Solesbee, CAPP, Parking & Transit Manager – Town of Estes Park
  • Nicole Wylie, General Manager, SpotHero

How mobility is changing the way we work – Kathleen Laney, Laney Solutions

January 11, 2016

January 2016 brought big change to my life.  My husband, David, and I relocated from the NYC area to Denver, Colorado.  Our family, friends and business associates all asked, ‘But WHY??’ Our answer was something they were certainly not expecting.

KathleenLaneyDenverMove

 

After starting my company in 2014, it quickly became apparent I did not need to live in one particular location. My clients span across the US, Canada and in countries around the world.  I do most of my business via phone or online. As my business has grown, my schedule and workload became more than one person could handle.  With David’s unique skill set in search and online marketing, his skills transfer to the needs of our business and know works as a consultant. This further enabled us to move to an area that was less expensive and would provide new experiences.

While our circumstances are certainly not the norm today, you will see more and more people taking advantage of opportunities like this and the benefits of the new world of work.

The concept of work and how we engage in it is changing. Last year we saw Millenials surpassing Generation X as the largest generation in the American workforce. These younger workers are looking for different things out of work. They value work-life balance and freedom over higher pay more than the generations before them.  And so they look for jobs that give them this. With an internet connection, you can now access everything you need to get your job done.  The idea of a 9-5 job and commuting to an office is dead.

Technological innovations have also affected work.  Communication and collaboration between people in different locations are now easier, more accessible and cheaper than ever before. Enterprise level services are now accessible for the independent contractor or budding entrepreneur.

We will only see these trends manifest themselves more and more.  One significant change we have started to see and will continue to grow is the need for enterprise mobility.

Enterprise mobility is an emerging trend as work habits shift. More employees work out of the office using mobile devices and online platforms. Enterprise mobility gives workers the ability to work from anywhere, anytime, and on any device.  And as organizations respond to the needs of their workers by offering more flexible workplace policies, workforce mobility will become even more commonplace.A

For organizations to effectively provide such options to their workforce, they must invest in the necessary technologies and tools to facilitate these changes. Regardless of how your organization chooses to address such changes, all organizations must understand, plan and adapt to the future of work. Failing to do so will only create greater recruiting and retainment challenges, ultimately reducing your ability to remain competitive.

How has your organization adapted to the changing world of work?
