Want to Improve Law Firm Culture? Be Authentic
I never thought I would mention former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce in the same sentence as Merriam-Webster.
But a colleague recently reminded me that Merriam-Webster's word of the year for 2023 was "authentic." Defined as "not false or imitation: real, actual" or "true to one's own personality, spirit or character," many of us witnessed this special trait when we watched Kelce announce his retirement earlier this year.

We hear a multitude of ideas and solutions for attracting and retaining lawyers and business professionals in today's ultra-competitive environment. Tellingly, when surveying the landscape of a multigenerational workforce operating in a mixture of hybrid and remote work, authenticity is essential to workplace satisfaction and loyalty.
