This Episode: `The Last 100 Days – with Michelle Parry-Slater`

Lucinda welcomes back guest Michelle Parry Slater from Kairos Modern Learning to discuss the concept of the “last 100 days.”

Michelle shares her personal experience of working her notice period before relocating to Australia and highlights the importance of focusing on the end of the employee lifecycle as much as the beginning.

Key Takeaways

Shift the focus from just the first 100 days to also include the last 100 days of an employee’s journey in the organisation.
Encourage open and honest conversations between employees and managers about career aspirations, motivations, and potential exits.
Emphasise the importance of knowledge management during transitions to ensure valuable information is not lost when employees leave.
Build high trust relationships between managers and employees to facilitate better communication and understanding of individual needs and aspirations.
Aim for employees to leave with advocacy, involvement in recruitment of successors, and a sense of legacy to create a positive impact even after they depart.

Best Moments

“We only ever hear people talking about the first hundred days. And it got me thinking, what does the last hundred days need to look like? And why don’t we talk about it?”

“Essentially, that whole employee lifecycle starts with that brand awareness. And I think some of that brand awareness rubs off from the last hundred days, because if you’ve got people leaving with advocacy…”

“Do you think companies are scared sometimes? Let’s say you’re a smaller business or, you know, you hear the expression people talk about dead man’s shoes, you have no intention of going anywhere and people perceive that the only way is, is into your job.”

“I think that especially in a smaller company, it’s very comfortable, it works, why are you going to rock the boat?”
