Lauren Tokawa liked thisLauren Tokawa liked thisOne of the biggest lessons I’ve learned working with leaders and teams is that the conversations people avoid are often the ones that matter most. Not because people are unwilling to speak up, but because the final piece, the “Last 8%,” can feel uncomfortable, risky, or difficult to articulate. But when concerns stay unspoken, teams lose clarity. Decisions slow down. Misalignment grows quietly in the background. In this article, I explore why high-performing teams create space for honest conversations, even when they’re difficult, and why trust is often built in those moments. Special thank you to Bryan Witt for introducing me to the concept of the “Last 8%” and the conversations behind it. #Leadership #WorkplaceCulture #TeamPerformance #Communication #AplinBlogThe Last 8%: What Teams Don’t Say Is What Holds Them BackThe Last 8%: What Teams Don’t Say Is What Holds Them Back

Lauren Tokawa liked thisLauren Tokawa liked thisGrateful. Humbled. And slightly wondering how 28 years went by this quickly! I’m honored to be recognized among the #Top50HumanResourceProfessionals at the OnCon Icon Awards hosted by OnConferences. It’s a meaningful milestone - one that prompts reflection more than celebration. Over nearly three decades, I’ve had the privilege of working with some truly exceptional people. This recognition is as much yours as it is mine 🙌 To my peers - thank you for the healthy debates, the shared wisdom, and the constant push to think better and do better. To my colleagues - thank you for your trust, collaboration, and the everyday moments that quietly shape strong organizations. To my teams, past and present - you’ve been the real engine behind every outcome. Your commitment, resilience, and willingness to go the extra mile (sometimes several extra miles) never go unnoticed. HR has evolved tremendously over the years - from a function often seen as transactional to one that sits at the heart of strategy and culture. I’ve been fortunate to witness and contribute to that shift. If there’s one thing this journey has reinforced, it’s that organizations don’t transform - people do. Along the way, there have been challenges, tough conversations, and more than a few “we’ll figure it out” moments. But those are often the experiences that shape perspective, build resilience, and ultimately define leadership. And yes, HR still means wearing multiple hats - coach, advisor, problem-solver, occasional diplomat - and on some days, all before lunch :) Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey - those who supported, challenged, mentored, and trusted me with the responsibility of helping build better workplaces. This recognition is a reminder to keep learning, keep listening, and keep showing up with intent. The work continues, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. #Gratitude #HRLeadership #PeopleFirst #Teamwork #Leadership #Growth

Lauren Tokawa liked thisLauren Tokawa liked thisJob scams aren’t new. But they’re getting harder to spot. We’re seeing a rise in multi-channel recruitment scams impersonating real agencies, using professional language, real job titles, and links that look legitimate. That’s what makes them dangerous. ⚠️ If a job opportunity starts with a rushed request or a link you didn’t expect, pause before engaging. In this blog, we break down: • What these scams actually look like today • How to verify links and domains • What legitimate recruitment should (and should not) look like Because real opportunities stand up to scrutiny. 🔗 Read more: https://ow.ly/3bZX50YRcxu #JobSearch #Recruitment #CyberSecurity #CareerAdvice #Hiring #AplinBlogNew Recruitment Scam Alert: How to Spot Fake Job Messages and Verify URLs - Aplin BlogNew Recruitment Scam Alert: How to Spot Fake Job Messages and Verify URLs - Aplin Blog
