WCB Claims. Did you know you should prepare (not just avoid or respond)? Organizations implement elaborate OH&S policies to avoid injuries and then, when someone is injured we do things to respond. But we should also be PREPARED for workplace injuries so that we can act quickly to mitigate the financial impact to the organization. What does preparation involve? Well, things like having reporting processes in place, a plan to support employees, and modified work ready. This episode was

Leadership in HRM - applying the theories

The HR Hub ·

2022/01/18

Leadership theories abound. Can you make sense of them? Regardless, how do we apply those theories about leadership in HRM? In this video we talk about transformational leadership theory, which is (as I learned) the most common leadership theory. Knowing more about leadership in your organization can help you become a leader, but it can also change how you deliver HR service and support. Ryan Rex has been an HR leader and director. He is currently in the midst of his doctorate studying

Job Design. Or Job CRAFTING??

The HR Hub ·

2022/01/11

How do you go about job design? Or, as today's guest describes it, job CRAFTING! Traditional job design outlines a job without really thinking about the specific person who is going to do it. Dr. Benjamin Ritter encourages you to craft a job with the individual front of mind. 🤯 We talk about the challenges of this process. I've come from pretty traditional HR roots and had so many questions and 'what ifs'! Which Ben responded to with "So much fear!" It IS hard to grasp how we would do such a basic

What does an HR Manager do?

The HR Hub ·

2022/01/04

Let's be honest, you typically get a Manager job because you are great as an individual - but then you have to lead. You also need to be both a partner to your management peers and a supporter and developer of your direct reports. There is so much great insight in this episode around the similarities and differences between being a Manager versus a business partner. It also gives insight into some of the challenges of that transition and how to approach them. Todd Bassett is a VP of HR and and has

Privacy In the Workplace - Legislation and Policy

The HR Hub ·

2021/12/21

Privacy in the workplace is a matter of legislation, common law, and policy. Some aspects of privacy in the Canadian context are set out in legislation - and it can be a wide variety of legislation. BC, Alberta, Quebec and federally regulated businesses are subject to specific privacy legislation, but the rest of the provinces and territories rely on common law. Then there is employee privacy expectations which can be greatly impact by employer policy. How do you make sense of it? Gayle Wadden

The HR Hub ·

2021/12/14

What happens when there is a threat of violence at work? Hopefully you are prepared to do a threat assessment in the workplace. This is a concept that our American neighbours might be more familiar with; however Canadians are not immune. Furthermore, we practice and are prepared for the possibility of a fire, why not violence as well? There are a number of steps and training involved in conducting threat assessments. One of the first is to establish a team and process so that subjective judgments

Laywers & HR: The good and bad

The HR Hub ·

2021/12/07

Employment lawyers & HR often work together. I talk to a lawyer about that relationship and he shares the good and bad. You'll recognize some of his problems because they are similar to problems we can have working with our clients. And HR is often afraid of using lawyers because of the cost. But consider: a) The VALUE. Will it save you money and headache in the end? b) How to spend less for the same advice. You might not need a porsche when a honda will do. I talk to Stuart Rudner of Rudner

Compliance in HR

2021/11/30

Compliance in HR is simple right? We have to obey the laws. It's easy! But of course it's not easy: where do you find the relevant legislation (and regulations) and then make sure you have seen all the parts that matter to you? Gayle Wadden is a lawyer and the Chief Compliance Officer for Compliance Works. We talked in general about compliance in Canada because we have a lot to concern ourselves with: OH&S, Labour Relations, Privacy, Human Rights, Employment Standards, Pay Equity, and

Gender in the WorkSPACE

The HR Hub ·

2021/11/23

The concepts of gender are embedded deeply and inconspicuously into every aspect of our lives including our worklives. It isn’t just gender - expectations of around diversity (or a lack thereof) are everywhere as well. This conversation sheds light on why EDI is hard and how exclusion persists. Alicia Bjarnason studied a concept called 'gendered space'. She got curious when, during her STEM career, she looked around and wondered where all the women went.So we talk about her expertise, what makes

WCB Basics

The HR Hub ·

2021/11/16

This covers the Worker's Compensation Board (WCB) basics from an employer and HR's perspective. It's the bigger picture of managing claims costs and a compelling reason you need to get employees back to work as soon as possible. Better still you should avoid accidents altogether (but that's another episode). When a supervisor would rather leave a worked at home than bring them back to modified work... watch this. It's soooo expensive not to manage your claims. Kessie Stevens is a WCB expert and

Employee Voice in the Workplace

The HR Hub ·

2021/11/09

How is employee VOICE in the workplace different from SATISFACTION or ENGAGEMENT? Well, it's more frequent, measures more than engagement or satisfaction (although it might do that too), and it may be diagnostic. I spoke with Rob Catalano who started and runs WorkTango which is a tool to help their customers understand the perspective of their employees. Employee voice can be used to understand the sentiment of employees in general but also in response to particular initiatives or changes. For

HR for Startups

The HR Hub ·

2021/11/02

HR for startups is different. It's growth-focused and has some unique challenges. There is a lot of recruitment (of course), but also onboarding, and other activities. Some of the challenges may include helping founders get out of their own way. Maysa Hawwash is the CEO of ScaleX which is a fractional HR company devoted to helping organizations grow. Although sometimes they shrink too because growth is not linear. Scale X: http://www.scalex.ca/

Dennis Hill, Ph.D, an HR and information management specialist, talks about a lot of ideas here. You'll learn about cybersecurity for HR but ALSO a little about ransomeware, 5g, and blockchain and how these apply to the security of employee data.

Basics of People Analytics

The HR Hub ·

2021/10/19

What is people analytics and how is it different than what HR has always done? I looked at my 4-year old HR textbook and people analytics was not mentioned anywhere (nor was 'workforce analytics' or just 'analytics'). My guest, Allen Hornung, thinks this is because it is a quickly emerging element of HR. This episode goes into the basics of people analytics - what it is and how it differs from the activities we are more accustomed to. There is so much power for insights and decision-making in this

Workplace vaccination policy

2021/09/29

Do you have a workplace vaccination policy or are you thinking about it? As I learned in this video, mandatory vaccine policies are rarely mandatory and it may depend on the nature of the work. But I learned a lot about what is meant by the discussion and how employers (and their HR) might approach a vaccine policy. Stuart Rudner is a lawyer specializing in employment law. He talks about all of this. Links to his business, his book and a recent Ontario Human Rights statement on the issue are

Employee benefits in Canada

The HR Hub ·

2021/09/21

What is typical for employee benefits in Canada? Benefits are confusing - even for people in HR. Like, what services are covered? What percentage of those services? What is a paramedical anyhow? And benefits are COSTLY so it is to the employer's advantage to make sure that employees know what's covered, are using the services, and appreciate the value. Typically HR is the leader in this so we need to understand it first. This video explains the typical aspects of benefits packages that are often

Bullying and Harassment

Bullying and harassment are thrown about and sometimes as jokes - but what do those words really mean? How do you know if some behaviour really is bullying or harassment in the workplace? What if you are in HR and it's your job to investigate!!? A bully is not someone who is miserable. A bully is someone who is nice to some people but picks on an individual or group with the intent of undermining their dignity at work. A more complete definition is in the episode.
