We"re Only Human ·

2020/07/08

"We need to own what we do. We've been apologizing and apologetic for being in HR instead of owning what we do. Every other profession says, I'm a salesperson, I'm a finance person. I'm a marketer. We go, I'm sorry. I'm in HR." Steve Browne In this conversation, a replay from the most popular session at HR Summer School 2020, Ben talks with Steve Browne, the most connected person in HR, about how to be an intentional connector, how to add value to relationships, and why HR is an essentially human

"The assessment traditionally has seemed a bit disconnected from the job role. This can come across as friction. You've worked hard to find a candidate and you want them to join--this can seem disjointed." Jora Gill, SHL Hiring is a balancing act. We want to drive candidates into the funnel, create positive experiences, and bring the best candidates into the organization, but we also need data to help make the right choice. While AI has been challenged for its impact on hiring, new evidence shows

"We are wasting talent. We can't afford as a nation, as a society, to waste talent."

In today's episode, Ben interviews Brenda Weitzberg about her company, Aspiritech, and how it is able to hire individuals on the autism spectrum for specific tasks that

"People don't want flexibility. they want complete control over their time." Today, we keep hearing that flexible work is the way to go. People want it. They crave it. Yet in today's episode of We're Only Human, Ben talks with Jody Thompson, creator of the ROWE movement. ROWE stands for "results only work environment," and it has been around for some time (the first book, Why Work Sucks, was published in 2008).

"As the head of HR, I'm now suddenly expected to be a doctor, virologist, and epidemiologist." That quote came from a discussion with an HR leader in the last few days, and it clearly outlines what many companies are going through right now. In today's conversation, Ben talks with Brett Meager of Paycor to learn how employers are responding to the dynamic situations happening across the country as well as how the company is supporting its small and mid-size clients in the middle of the chaos.

Agile talent acquisition? What's that? Many of the talent leaders we encounter have heard of agile as it pertains to the software development industry, but what lessons does this methodology have for today's talent leaders? Agile, at its core, is about prioritizing (ruthlessly) on the things that need to get done. In agile talent acquisition, managers hold more power to set priorities. At the same time, recruiters and talent advisors get the benefit of clearer communication, a framework that sets

"HR is representing the people at your organization that deliver the results of whatever mission you have... There is no greater voice for the people than HR." We hear so much about large employers and enterprise firms in the news. These organizations are a key part of the global economy, but did you know that over 99% of employers in the US have fewer than 1,000 employees? Yes, really!

2020/02/26

Employee paid leave is often overlooked because it has been around for what seems like forever. It's fairly standard, and the biggest advancement in recent history has been moving from a split vacation/sick model to a paid time off or "PTO" model, where employees can use the leave flexibly for illness, vacation, or other personal needs as they see fit. The problem, though, is that people still don't use that time as they should. They carry heavy leave balances, which creates liability for their

Today, more workers than ever are in roles that do not provide them with an office, a desk, or even a computer or email address.

WOH 73: What it Takes to Mentor Women (and Men)

We"re Only Human ·

2020/01/23

In our study on Disruption and Reskilling, we found that one of the top ways employees want to learn new and different skill sets is through coaching and mentoring. However, mentoring is one of those concepts that is often oversimplified in the workplace. It's more than a casual conversation or one-way relationship. As today's guest on We're Only Human puts it, there's a level of "needed nervousness" to create positive tension and a supportive relationship. In other words, if you're always
