Cooking food over an open fire is nothing new. It’s been happening around the world for thousands of years. When it comes to barbeque, however, it’s typically associated with flavors and cooking styles deeply rooted in the American south.²

What’s interesting to us is how regional dishes are crossing all kinds of boundaries. Whether it’s authentic Texas barbeque showing up on menus in Ireland or a mash-up of flavors you wouldn’t ordinarily associate with barbeque, this popular trend is introducing all kinds of opportunity³.

These new dishes are showing up on menus everywhere and operators are getting creative with their applications and preparation styles⁴. Think brisket eggs benedict, smoked brisket with Thai green curry sauce or pit smoked turkey-based soups, sliders and nachos. We’re also seeing restaurants highlighting regionality (Texas vs Kansas City vs Carolina) and other unique flavor details to make their dishes stand out.

This might sound strange coming from a meat producer, but we love how the popularity of barbeque is moving beyond animal proteins. Similar cooking and smoking techniques can be applied to all kinds of fruits, veggies, cheeses and plant-based proteins to add more flavor, texture and interest to any dish.

A recent study done by LiveCareer found that job prestige ranked as the highest priority across all generations of workers. People want recognition and respect. And they value being acknowledged for their success and achievements, whether it be an informal affair or through a rewards program³. Simply put, employees will be more engaged, motivated and dedicated when they feel respected by the places in which they work³.

There are distinct differences in the way each generation likes to communicate. Boomers, for instance, prefer face-to-face communication while Gen Z’ers would rather text⁴. Managers can’t embrace five different managing styles, of course. But they can take a step back and cultivate more effective communication by asking employees what they value, what they need to succeed and what their expectations are⁵. Taking the time to listen, empathize and provide as much choice as possible is what matters most to employees of all ages³.

While career development is most important to Gen Z’ers, the opportunity for growth is still a priority among Millennials and Gen X’ers⁵. That means your organization can attract more employees by paying attention to where they want to go and committing to helping them get there. Asking employees about their ambitions and offering learning opportunities to help them achieve their goals will demonstrate that you’re committed to their futures.

Purpose is also a priority for all workers⁷. People want to feel like they are part of something bigger than themselves and they get inspired when they feel connected to the mission of their organization⁷. Take the time to show employees how their work fits into big picture goals and offers support to local communities.
