Michael chats with Professor Lynne Vincent of the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University.

ConnectedHR also opened their newest office in Austin, TX.

Michael and Robin speak with Jesse Meschuk, global career and HR expert, and Senior Advisor with Exequity, on how companies can navigate the pay transparency movement. Jesse share tips on responding to the new legislation and thoughts on where we are going in days to come.California recently passed a new bill that requires companies to disclose salary ranges in job postings as of January 1, 2023. This follows similar laws that have been passed in Colorado, Washington, and New York City. The California Bill also adds the requirement to provide salary ranges to current employees upon request and for employers with more than 100 employees, to provide a pay equity report annually showing average wages by job category comparing gender and ethnicity, which is a first for any state but is in line with many countries (most in the EU) which have a pay equity disclosure requirement. The first-of-its-kind annual pay equity reporting poses a series of questions and decisions for employers across the country, as many have a significant presence in California.

Take yourself over to Google (and google Leadership Skills) and you’ll be served up a smorgasbord of content. Leaders, we are told, must be adept at relationship building, decision-making, conflict-management, etc. etc. etc. Necessary and needed? Absolutely.

Join Michael as they chat with Rebecca Ray of the Conference Board as we discuss the evolving role of the CHRO in responding to crises and black swan events. On the show, we will discuss how: Going forward, CHROs will partner with C-suite colleagues and the board to help shape the company’s voice on social issues.The ability to work closely with, and benefit from, board directors in their human capital management oversight role will be increasingly important. Strong culture—where employees feel included, valued, respected, and connected to something greater than themselves—will create a competitive advantage in attracting and retaining talent.Technology and analytics will be even more critical in guiding CHROs as they work toward business goals. CHROs will lead the organization toward a seamless hybrid culture, offering flexibility and upskilling.Through successive waves of “black swan” events, CHROs will need to rethink leadership development. Successful leaders must thrive in virtual and hybrid environments with blended teams.

Join Michael as they chat with Markus Neukom as they chat about how managers can regain personal time and enjoy a better work life balance

Markus Neukom spent more than twenty years working with managers and professionals that are struggling to perform or progress in the workplace, many reaching the point they either reluctantly leave or increasingly, sadly are fired. But it is not their lack of expertise that is failing them and many only reach out for help when they are desperate, redundant or on the brink of being fired.

HERE'S THE TRUTH: I believe that thousands upon thousands of managers, from all over the world wake up every morning feeling powerless and unmotivated, asking themselves, "How can I do this one more day?" followed by "Is this as good as it gets – really?" If that's you… I have the solution.

Join Michael and Robin when they chat with Dr. W. Jason Dunne, a leader in nursing education and is currently serving as Vice President of Operations at Arizona College of Nursing.

According to the Arizona College of Nursing, with numerous campuses nationwide, we were faced with nurse burnout before the pandemic began. Now, taking Covid into consideration, it's even worse.

Once a female-dominated industry, males now account for more than 12% of U.S. nurses. Men thinking of becoming a nurse can count on career stability, competitive pay, a flexible schedule, and travel opportunities – no longer with the stigma attached. We will discuss why men are more frequently pursuing a career in nursing, discuss the most popular specialties, and offer tips and resources for those interested in the profession.

We will also discusss what’s happening in higher education and nursing, including an increasing nursing shortage, why should people consider a career in nursing despite the challenges (COVID, overflowing hospitals, etc.) and other topics.

Join Michael as they chat with Florence Sterlin about being a black woman leader and how her team successfully navigated the challenges of the pandemic by working together and using technology in partnership with Deltek to bridge the communication gaps and lead in new ways.

Women of color account for only 4% of C-suite leaders and are promoted to manager at far lower rates than men – so it’s no wonder that Florence faced challenges taking over her family’s engineering business.

Florence faced many hardships in 2016, but the communication gap the COVID-19 pandemic created soon became one of the most important hardships to navigate. Florence knew that the key to driving her family’s company forward was collaboration. Digital tools mended the communication gap between DB Sterlin’s employees and leadership, creating and sustaining a company culture of continuous feedback, connection and mentorship.

In this new world of hybrid work, HR professionals are challenged with having to create effective return-to-work strategies, while advocating for health and safety, and ensuring an overall positive employee experience. Join Michael as they talk with Elisabeth Giammona, HR Business Partner at Envoy about her experience developing hybrid work strategies and learnings from Envoy customers.

Envoy’s workplace platform is used in over 14,000 locations worldwide by companies such as Slack, Pinterest, and Warby Parker. Elisabeth understands from these customers that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to return-to-work plans. It’s important to consider: Not only onboarding new employees but existing employees: There’s been a significant amount of change in the last year and things look very different coming back. It’s important to consider the return as seamless as possible, giving both new and existing employees access to the information and resources they need to feel comfortable coming back.Concise communication: Employees are relying on companies to be clear on where they stand with return-to-work policies. Communication needs to be as clear and intentional as possible in an environment that’s constantly changing, especially when people are distributed.Safe ways for creating connection in the workplace: Consider bringing back-office happy hours and events to reconnect with coworkers, but also implementing digital ways to connect given we’re in a hybrid setting.

Join Michael (and maybe Robin) as they chat with Jeanniey Walden, workplace expert at DailyPay) as she provides insight on the Omicron variant, its impact on jobs and hiring, and the upcoming jobless claims.

The report uncovers some of the key factors leading employees to consider quitting in 2022 as well as those factors that have little influence on attrition. Featuring survey findings from over 1,000 US full-time employees between the ages of 18-64, the study asked respondents about their plans to quit their jobs in the next six months as well as their attitudes toward other work-related issues including feelings about their managers and colleagues, compensation, and professional growth opportunities.

No one ever imagined getting people to work in an office would become a huge employee relations issue. Join us Wednesday, Jan 19 as we discuss this issue with Andrew Morton, CEO of Bloom Health Partners.

Andrew Morton is a seasoned global technology executive with a track record of successfully building and running innovative companies.

As the raging Omicron variant of COVID-19 infects workers across the nation and the coronavirus pandemic continues to disrupt labor markets globally, employers nationwide are in search of the best solution to help companies and schools return to work safely.

Bloom Health Partners was born in the midst of the pandemic and has had a huge hand in helping Hollywood productions, theme parks, events, Fortune 500 companies—and now, schools—safely reopen their doors. Bloom helps companies and industries navigate the covid crisis and continue to function by offering flexible Covid-19 testing and advisory solutions.

What exactly is Bloom Health Partners?

Can you tell us a little bit about creating a pop-up covid testing site in a parking lot and what happened to lead up to that moment?

What happened next? How did Bloom go from a parking lot to working with Fortune 500 companies, TV and Movie Studios and schools ? What is your vision for the Bloom service platform?

Michael does a solo show to end the year with a quick review of a LOT of labor relations developments

Used as a humorous way of expressing farewell, used especially when a business closes, someone leaves a position, something is retired from the market, etc. The phrase comes from the title of the 1984 novel by Douglas Adams, in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.

r/antiwork uses the slogan "Unemployment for all, not just the rich!" Members of the subreddit are known as "idlers" in reference to the Protestant work ethic. Posts commonly criticize hustle culture[4] and share stories of employees' negative experiences at their jobs,[5] including unfair treatment and poor working conditions[6] as well as poor pay. The most common issues raised by members of the subreddit include "stagnation of wages, overworking, being expected to be on call on and off the clock."

Join us as we chat with Executive Recruiter Patricia Lenkov about gender identity as an area of company leadership which employers - particularly CEOs and boards - are far behind on.

Productivity is up, but at what cost to employees? Robin Erickson, PhD, joins host Crystal Miller Lay on the DriveThru to discuss insights in the world of work coming out of the pandemic and the impact onworkers. This is one DriveThru HR you won't want to miss.

Robin is a Principal Researcher for The Conference Board, specializing in Human Capital. She is recognized as a thought leader for talent acquisition, engagement, talent mobility, retention, and people at work.

Lisa Rokusek, Managing Director of Rokusek Recruits, has something that's been keeping her up at night: "Tom Peters has a new book called Extreme Humanism," Lisa tells the DTHR team. "In an exchange asking us what it means to us in business, [she] answered: I see it as a move from a domination, comand/control mindset where we create docile bodies to a model where we embrace the richness of who we actually are." Join host Crystal Miller Lay as she and Lisa discuss how we can redesign and build better, more humane workplaces.

Chris Murdock of IQTalent Partners stops by to talk about successful partnerships and other topics.

Join Robin, Dwane, Crystal, and Michael as they look back at the week in review and ruminate about HR developments that caught their eye this week.

From the losses that come with entrepreneuralism to losses much more personal, Jason Seiden (@Seiden) of BRNDSTRM knows a thing or two about Grief. He'll be joining us Tuesday 6/22, Wednesday 6/23, and Thursday 6/24 for a special DriveThruHR series on grief and its place in Seiden's (and our) "profersonal" world.

On Tuesday, we started with working through an operational definition of grief with Jason: what does it look like and what is the grieving person's reality and responsibility to themselves and others. Wednesday, Jason and Crystal moved into how we can make it safe for the grieving who are walking wounded, a particularly timely topic considering the losses we've experienced over the course of the pandemic. In this episode, we'll look at grief, and how collaboration tools and social media can impact the well-being of the grieving when working through loss, as well as team dynamics. Join us!

This is part of our summer growth series, when we look at topics that are tangential and related to the world of work and HR, particularly around well-being, belonging and workplace dignity. We hope you can join us.

Six degrees of separation is the idea that all people on average are six, or fewer, social connections away from each other. As a result, a chain of "a friend of a friend" statements can be made to connect any two people in a maximum of six steps.

The 6 Degrees series with Michael VanDervort explores the possibilities of the 6 degrees of connection through a series of six conversations randomly dictated by our weekly guests. Hosted by @MikeVanDervort, the 6 degrees podcast is a fun and interesting thought experiment exploring business and social topics.

To launch our series, Michael will talk with Carrie Bucci of Mixtape Talent. Carrie is a formally trained and Certified Professional Coach, educated and evaluated by iPEC, accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF), as well as a Certified Yoga Teacher with additional certifications as a Y12SR Leader and Reiki practitioner.

Michael and Carrie will be live-streaming a 1-hour coaching session during this show, discussing creativity, intentionality, and self-care.

For many of us, the past year has been a time to pause, take a breath, and really look at our lives through the lens of what's working...and what's not. We'll discuss how working with Carrie, a Certified Career Coach, experienced People Operations leader and formally trained Yoga Teacher who helps guide creative makers and thinkers who are looking to make moves in their career, find greater work/life harmony, and rebuild my creativity.

At the end of the show, Carrie will also deliver a big reveal, sharing who she has selected as the second guest in this 6 show series! I can't wait!

From the losses that come with entrepreneuralism to losses much more personal, Jason Seiden (@Seiden) of BRNDSTRM knows a thing or two about Grief. He'll be joining us Tuesday 6/22, Wednesday 6/23, and Thursday 6/24 for a special DriveThruHR series on grief and its place in Seiden's (and our) "profersonal" world.

On Tuesday, we started with working through an operational definition of grief with Jason: what does it look like and what is the grieving person's reality and responsibility to themselves and others? In this episode, we'll move into how we can make it safe for the grieving who are walking wounded, a particularly timely topic considering the losses we've experienced over the course of the pandemic. Then Thursday, we'll look at grief, and how collaboration tools and social media can impact the well-being when working through grief.

This is part of our summer growth series, when we look at topics that are tangential and related to the world of work and HR, particularly around well-being, belonging and workplace dignity. We hope you can join us.

Join Michael and Robin on 6/3/2021 as they talk with Katherine Zitterbart (aka Katie Z.), a former HR professional now running a sex-positive counseling and yoga practice. We will explore how a stint in HR helped Katherine develop her practice and more.

Katie is a no-touch facilitator of practices that help to cultivate compassion, personal power, and balanced relationships. I’m sex-positive, which means I believe that all expressions of human sexuality that do not harm the people involved and occur in a context of consent are valid and worthy. For over 20 years, I’ve guided somatic practices, such as yoga and emotional alchemy, which help folks feel better in their bodies. As a designer of workshops and immersions, Katie draws on decades of experience and training in myriad communication skills.

Compassion. Communication. Consent. The core pillars of my Work and how I operate in the world

I design and deliver workshops, classes, immersions, events in three primary areas, about all of which I am deeply passionate: somatics (movement and yoga), communication, and sexual polarity. The core concepts of all that I do are rooted in over 30 years' of study in myriad traditions including Buddhism, Taoism, Critical/Queer Theory and Psychology.

In the spring of 2020, Katie was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer. We will explore how Katie's background in kink and corporate is helping her navigate a long and challenging walk on a path many have walked before, and how she is helping others.

CEOs and business leaders today must be skilled at more than making a profit. They should be industry thought leaders, savvy at all things digital, expert communicators with employees, media, and investors, and sharply attuned to political issues.

Alongside new facets of the job, demand for diversity and inclusion has put more focus on promoting women and people of color into the C-Suite.

This puts corporate America at a crossroads. Caren Kenney, CEO of Evolve Leadership, sees a distinct need for not only promoting women and minorities into the C-Suite—but truly investing in their success once they are there.

It’s widely reported that 2 out of 5 CEOs fail in the first 18 months and women CEOs are 45% more likely to be fired than their male counterparts. This is destructive! Kenney’s ideas for how to change the tenure of CEOs and business leaders include: How to make boards accountable for CEO successHow to better prepare and support women and minority leaders who are fast-tracked into senior leadership rolesHow to approach leadership development as a “whole person, whole life” equation: health, well-being, family, mental and emotional resilience, executive judgment and decision making, purpose- and character-based leadership.

Join Michael and Robin on 4/28/2021 when they discuss Employee Resource Groups and how to make them more effective with Cassie Whitlock, director of HR at software company BambooHR. An answer for workplace inclusivity in the past has often been affinity groups or employee resource groups (ERGs). Need more women in leadership or initiatives more LGBTQ+ friendly? Make a group for that.

Cassie Whitlock believes that while there’s an opportunity for ERGs to provide value within an organization, they’re not an end-all solution. At some point there becomes a scaling issue -- a group can’t be made for every possible delineation. And on top of that, ERGs can inadvertently exclude employees, creating the opposite desired effect.

ERGs can have a positive impact -- it all comes down to how they’re structured and if there is an internal locus of control and employees feel empowered to affect change. Here are the core elements Cassie believes companies need to focus on when creating/refining ERGs:

Establish a clearly defined purpose for each ERG that are aligned with a business need, and actively work toward that purpose

Each group needs an involved executive sponsor

Group leaders need to be knowledgeable and not waste time being counterproductive

Tell us about your self and Goodpath
Why are common chronic conditions like back pain and others so often not included in benefit plans.

Join us for a reality-based chat with our guest Chip Weatherbee, Sr Labor Relations Specialist, to discuss “all things HR” (and maybe a little bit about sports, racial justice and what we think 2021 will bring). p.s. you can follow him on Twitter here.

2020 has seen massive changes to the way we live and how we get our jobs done. And, right now, it seems difficult to picture what the future of work will look like in a post COVID-19 world.

The Sapient Insights team recently completed its 23rd Annual HR Systems Survey. For this 2020/2021 survey report, new questions were added to see how the more than 1,900 participating organizations are addressing COVID-19 impacts on their organizations.

Join Michael and Robin as we start working on our next 1500 episodes when we talk about men and women in the workplace with David G. Smith PhD, and Brad Johnson PhD.

Evidence reveals that the #MeToo movement has not been a catalyst to move men to action in their organizations, but rather it has instead increased the likelihood of them avoiding women entirely, exacerbating gender inequalities.

There are, however, many men eager to learn how to really move the dial on inclusion. They are GOOD GUYS—they just don’t know what to do, or how to get started on their own ally journey.

David G. Smith Ph.D., a sociologist, and former Navy pilot, and Brad Johnson Ph.D., a psychology professor, guide these men in their new book, GOOD GUYS: How Men Can Be Better Allies for Women in the Workplace (Harvard Business Review Press, Oct 13, 2020). Based on their major qualitative study, they detail what excellent male allyship looks like and how to apply interpersonally (at home), publicly (at work), and systematically (through organizational change).

GOOD GUYS also reveals some of the obstacles men face—many of them don’t perceive gender inequities in the workplace at all (it’s hard to fix what you can’t see) and that men are unsure of how to take action (so they decide not to) and some see think any gains for women would mean losses for them.

In GOOD GUYS, they explain how to overcome these obstacles and to develop allyships that benefit all.

We are doing a show in this format on weekdays throughout September. On October 1, we will be airing episode 1500 of DriveThruHR, and so naturally, we wanted to try something different. The result is these episodes. Robin kicked off the series with her thoughts on the state of HR, kind of. Today is my turn and I'm going to talk about something a little more personal. I'm going to explain why Robin is Cranky these days, and when I mean Cranky AF!

Heather Kinzie, COO at The Strive Group, shares some #SnackableHR.

Robin Schooling, co-host of DrivethruHR and Managing Partner for HR + People Strategy with Peridus Group, shares some #SnackableHR.

Christina Wang has a few things to say about HR’s future; the systems, the structure AND the mindset of practitioners. With her penchant for driving change and fighting for justice, Christina proudly wears the badge of “HR Rebel.”

Join us for a lively discussion with Christina as we discuss both her personal journey through corporate America as an Asian-American and explore when it’s time to “raise one’s hand” to both influence the “people” side of the business and promote change.

Join Michael and Robin as we discuss the personal and professional costs of Elder Care in the workplace with Larry Nisenson of Genworth Financial.

We will discuss how employers can help their employees address a mounting issue facing human resources executives today. Corporate America should brace itself for a potential “Caregiver Benefit Crisis” that threatens to impact its employee benefits policies and fiscal bottom line. As our nation’s businesses begin to reinvent themselves for a post-pandemic world, the eye-opening facts from the recent National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP, Caregiving in the U.S. 2020 study have underscored the critical need for employee benefit policies to be reevaluated for our 42 million family caregivers who struggle to cope with the emotional, physical and financial challenges posed by caring for aging loved ones.

And, it's not just Boomers and Gen X anymore: Caregivers now span four generations with more young people providing care, including 6% who are Gen Z and 23% who are Millennials.

Is this a wake-up call for businesses and the future of employee benefit policies?

How can businesses and caregivers collaborate to address this mounting crisis?

How will these dynamics impact employers from a financial, productivity and recruitment perspective?

What employer and community resources are available to caregivers as they serve as the main source of family support?

Covid-19, obviously, has brought us social distancing and the elimination, for now, of large-gatherings. Numerous local, regional and global HR events have either been outright cancelled, or, in some cases, moved online with great success. And as we’ve adjusted to learning and socializing (ahem ...”networking”) in new ways, we can’t help but wonder – what will the future bring?

Join us for a conversation with our guest Vadim Liberman (the Liberace of HR!), Editor at TLNT and ERE.net and Co-Organizer for DisruptHR NYC, for a discussion about: the importance of online HR communitiesthe value of HR mediathe future of HR/TA events (live vs. virtual)

For 122 straight nights (over the last number of months), Bill Boorman spent his time cooking, feeding and providing care, compassion and supplies to the homeless (rough sleepers) in his village of Northhampton, England. Now, as conditions have changed, he’s switched what he's doing - but STILL doing quite a bit with the Northampton Hope Centre!

Bill joins us on this episode to discuss how he got involved, what he's learned and how he and the team are measuring the impact.

Follow Bill on LinkedIn or Facebook to keep up with #truFeeds and check out the Northhampton Hope Centre here.

Join Michael as he speaks with Domm Holland, CEO and co-founder, of Fast on how Fast is using flexibility to keep their workforce engaged during the C19 era.

On the show, we will discuss: How Fast recently introduced a flexible work plan for employees called Fast Flex, which gives employees the freedom to choose where they want to work on a given day. Domm will share to the details of the program, how it came to be (and why flexible company is something he’s encouraging all companies to embrace), how it has been received by employees, plus why it’s important to be open to new workstyles now and post-COVID (the new policy will be permanent).Even while many companies around the country are faced with layoffs and hiring freezes, Fast has continued to hire amid COVID-19, hiring and onboarding employees completely remotely. Domm will tell us how Fast has evolved the onboarding process for remote work, how he’s ensuring that people still feel a part of the Fast team and build relationships with their team from home, the tools Fast is using to help employees collaborate from home and what unique challenges and opportunities hiring remotely creates for companies.Data trends about flexible work - Domm will wrapup by sharing workplace trends he’s seeing, based on the research Fast has been doing on this topic, along data highlights we shared.

Michael will be talking with Rob Chesnut, author of Intentional Integrity: How Smart Companies Can Lead an Ethical Revolution, about to talk about ethics in a post-COVID workplace or integrity during times of crisis. Rob recently left his position as chief ethics officer of Airbnb but continues to consult in this area with Airbnb, eBay, Chegg, and others. Possible areas of discussion might be how integrity can guide decisions about: How and when to bring people back into physical workspaces. People are nervous about the transmission of the disease in closed spaces, but you need to get people back to work. Is it ethical to bring them back to work if you can’t guarantee they won’t get sick? How can you draw on integrity and values to make and build support for these decisions.How to handle furloughed staff – this is a group that will need some TLC. They are going to have conflicted feelings about returning to work, their key duties may have been unfulfilled leaving a backlog of work, and they may feel like they are on tenuous ground or borrowed time, making them less vocal about their needs or reporting ethical issues for fear of rocking the boat.Whether your ethics code worked… You’ve been through fire – it’s a great time to evaluate how your integrity and ethics codes worked for your company. Did it make decisions easier? Harder? Did it provide the guidance you needed? It may be time for an integrity reboot, but where to get started? How to support parents who have been juggling more than just work? How to manage remote workforces so they strive for integrity every day? What new ethical traps have come up beyond the Top 10 Rob identifies in the book? Who is responsible for ethics in a company – legal, HR, the CEO? And on.

Join Michael on the Friday lunch edition of Drive Thru HR when he will be talking HR With Kris Dunn aka The HR Capitalist

We will discussing some NBA, some of KD's book and where the Talent market is heading...or not. And of course, it wouldn't be a conversion with KD unless you talk a little hoops - specifically Covid and the NBA Bubble in Orlando.

Join Michael and guest Nick Kalm, founder and President of the Chicago-based communications consulting firm Reputation Partners.

Over the past 30+ years, Nick has worked with hundreds of leading corporations, non-profits, and academic organizations and their leadership teams to enhance, protect, and restore their reputations.

On the show we will cover:

Keeping Company Culture Alive While Working Remotely

How do you nourish a culture that’s rooted in face-to-face engagements when your full team has to work remotely for an extended period of time? Are You Prepared for the End of COVID-19?

Successfully navigate the communications challenges that will arise as we approach a new state of the COVID-19 pandemic. What are some of the less-discussed implications of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and what organizations can do about them? Responding to Movements

What are some best practices for employers to take when movements like Me Too, LGBTQI, or the current protest against incidents of police brutality against African-American people? How can companies prepare for the next issue they will be confronting?

What are some of the hidden risks employers may facein these troubled times?

Organizational and HR Leaders have faced some challenging times over the last several months while navigating the turbulent waters of “work in the time of a global pandemic.” In addition to business continuity and sustainability they’ve had to reflect and review (continuously) how they’re putting their VALUES into action. This year, more than ever before, has shown us that what companies (and leaders) DO for their employees, partners and communities during a crisis is the true test...regardless of the words on a wall or web site.

Join us for a discussion with Rob Caswell, Manager of Employee and Labour Relations with Carewell Innovative Health Care as we explore why and how “values” (corporate AND personal) are your best guide in times of crisis.

OhCanadaWeek (#Take2)

Success in today’s business environment means working differently; top-down, bureaucratic, hierarchical organizations are dead (and dying!) while trust and agility have taken center stage. Making an organizational shift to a new way of working, while not easy, can become EASIER when HR professionals influence their organizations by understanding various components of this transformation including purpose, freedom and the fact that leadership is a choice....not a “position”.

Join us for a chat with our guest Pam Ross with Blue Rebel Works who specializes in leadership development, culture design and reinventing work for a discussion centered on how YOU can find your groove and easily implement changes to reimagine and reinvent work.

OhCanadaWeek

Year after year numerous Canadians further their careers when they move and work in the US (thanks TN visa!). Due to current events however, some of these “plans” have been put on hold and it’s causing consternation for both employees AND employers.

Join us for a chat with our guest Tim Baker, HR consultant/adviser and Director of HR with Syndesus, Inc. as we discuss “crossing the border” and how, even now, opportunities exists to recruit and hire the needed talent from another country.

OhCanadaWeek

There’s the practice of HR in large corporate enterprises and then there’s the practice of HR in small/mid-sized business or start-ups. While both offer exceptional opportunities to do “great HR,” there’s something about the multi-hat-wearing creativity and boot-strappin’ HR that often occurs in smaller (or newer!) companies.

Join us for a chat with our guest Jeff Waldman, HR consultant/adviser and Founder of Social HR Camp as we dive into what he’s discovered about successful HR in the world beyond the massive corporate settings.

OhCanadaWeek

Compensation design (“how should we PAY and REWARD these people?”) is often one of those areas of people management that seems to be a mix of art-and-science. And NOW, in the Covid-19/POST Covid-19 world of work, it’s become even more complex.

Join us for a chat with our guest Bonni Titgemeyer, Managing Director at The Employer’s Choice Inc. (TEC) – a Toronto-based HR consulting firm.

OhCanadaWeek

HR is changing and evolving at an accelerated pace, moving from the staid and ordinary into a more progressive era. Or so we like to think. For while the “work” may be evolving, we have to wonder if HR leaders/professionals simultaneously evolving?

Join us for a discussion with HR professional – and involved community leader/activist - Christine Assaf as we explore how and when HR should lift its voice for justice and equality.

Join Michael and Robin as we chat with Rebecca Ray, Executive Vice President, Human Capital of The Conference Board on Thursday, May 7, 2020 at 1 PM ET to discuss developing a plan for returning to work from Covid-19.

As Human Resource leaders begin planning for the gradual reopening of the economy, they and their teams face a daunting task: creating a new workplace where employees can be both safe and effective. Achieving that will mean adjusting – and in many cases, upending – several processes in HR.

To help Human Resource leaders determine the various factors and suggested steps to take, The Conference Board has developed a planning tool that features three essential checklists. Each focuses on a different phase in the reset and recovery timeline: Assessment, Preparation, and Return. The planner and accompanying report are free to the public and can be used by both US and international Human Resource teams.

In the episode, we will discuss: The assessment phase - how to get started The preparation phase - getting your plan readyThe return phase - getting real in the workplace

After taking a week off, Michael and Robin are back with DriveThruHR Quarantini Episode #5. We are thrilled to be chatting with John Sumser and Heather Bussing of HR Examiner. Join us at 8 PM ET/ 7 PM CT/ 5 PM PT on Tuesday, May 5th.

We'll talk about who CARES and try to figure out who gives a FFCRA about all this stuff. It's not a labor law webinar, it's a discussion to try to help point you in the right direction to help your employees right now. We will also discuss really bad employers, blogging and what shows Jon is binge-watching right now when he's not reading the most recent several hundred-page piece of legislation coming out of Congress.

We will have open mic at the end of the show, so listen in for some great info and check in with us to say hello live Thursday night at 8 PM et 4/16/2020.

I have tailored and applied the same principles to HR. CPR's "CAB" and HR CAB Medicine At Sea - first dual-role Paramedic/Talent Acquisition Partner at Princess Cruise Lines. While supporting the Chief Medical Officer's talent needs, I also filled in as a paramedic on ships around the globe. Traveling to 40+ countries in two years.

We did a show last week where we checked with our HR community during this time of separation. The response was so good that we are going to do shows on Thursday night as a way to keep us connected. The format will be a little different. We will do a one hour show - 30 minutes with a guess and 30 minutes checking in with our friends and colleagues. On April 2 at 8 PM ET, our guest will be Jennifer Orechwa, COO at Projections Inc., an employee relations communications consultancy.

How can companies connect with employees right now?

Let’s talk about communicating with managers or front-line leaders

Is there anything companies should AVOID in their communication with employees?

the language we should use when we’re talking with employees. Word/Tone during times of crisis?

What about the need for two-way communication?

During a crisis, how can we give employees an opportunity to talk to US?

Communicating with newly remote worker

HR professionals are, it goes without saying, spending the vast majority of their time stewarding their teams and organizations through the impact of COVID-19; ensuring their employees are safe, focusing on business continuity, and facing the difficult challenges of furloughs and layoffs,

But day-to-day HR responsibilities still continue and there are things that we can’t let shift to the wayside such as continuing to ensure our workplaces (even the newly virtual ones!) are free from harassment and making decisions that are non-discriminatory.

Join Mike and Robin for a conversation with Jim Webber, Trainer/Investigator/Author, as we navigate the “things we can’t forget!” You can follow Jim on Twitter ... @JimWebberLOL (otherwise known as @EvilSkippySays)

We will talk about anything but COVID=19. See you then!

This week, we are beginning to see the potential economic impacts of the coronavirus resulting from travel restrictions, event cancellations, and the need to prioritize employees’ health while still maintaining some semblance of “business as usual”.

Join Robin and Michael as we talk with Courtney Harrison, CHRO of OneLogin on how organizations can prepare, drawing partly on her experience during the 9/11 terror attacks.

On the show, we will talk about: Work flexibility: What technology, process, and policies should be implemented in order to build a mass movement to work from home.Employee communications: How HR and leadership should talk to their employees about the virus without playing into fears, as well as the potential mental health impact among employees. Other steps employers can take.HOw does an employer determine when to take action. For background, Courtney was a leader at American Express during the 9/11 terror attacks in New York. The Amex headquarters was destroyed during the attack and her role including relocating an entire workforce (5,000 employees) and working with the Employee Assistance Experts to manage the trauma and emergency response

Join Robin and Michael as they talk to Craig Lemasters about how business people often get "stuck" in their daily work and how you can get unstuck.

On the show, we will discuss:

What elements of the macro business landscape cause organizations to get stuck? How do you know if you’re stuck? What are some of the symptoms? What steps can folks take to get unstuck? What are some of the top challenges you see learning & development / HR facing and how does your model help? How is it different from the traditional approaches? Where can people learn more if they want to deploy the model themselves?

Join us Tuesday as Mike and Robin chat with leadership expert Adrian Gostick, the New York Times bestselling author of The Best Team Wins, The Carrot Principle, and All In (w. coauthor Chester Elton)

In their new book LEADING WITH GRATITUDE: Eight Leadership Practices for Extraordinary Business Results (HarperBusiness, March 3, 2020), they explore why gratitude is today’s most effective way to boost employee engagement and team performance, and key gratitude practices that boost team performance, morale, and ROI, while reducing turnover.

Based on a survey of more than 1 million employees at a wide range of companies (and decades of experience with leaders), the authors identify a “gratitude gap” where people feel unappreciated – and often under attack – at work. They found that leaders are often unclear on how hard their people work, challenges they face, and how much they would benefit from sincere and explicit gratitude.

On the show, the authors can explain why gratitude is one of our most misunderstood business skills, and outline eight (8) ways leaders can gain clarity on how people contribute, including:

● Assume positive intent, which makes it much easier to learn from setbacks;

● Walk in their shoes to understand their daily frontline challenges with one-on-one time;

● Look for small wins and recognize incremental progress, not just major milestones;

● Tailor feedback to each staffer, because rewards that excite some can alienate others;

● Encourage a culture of peer-to-peer gratitude, not just recognition from above.

100 years ago, in the 1920’s, there was a great time of economic prosperity; GNP growth in the US was strong and unemployment fell into the range of 2% - 5%. The stock market crash in 1929, and the resulting Great Depression, changed all that. Out of the Roaring 20’s came a lot of change.

So what about the NEW “Roaring 20’s?” Workers are speaking out, albeit in very different ways than they did 100 years ago, when they’re dissatisfied with working conditions. And, interestingly enough, HR professionals are increasingly vocal in their public activism.

Join us for a fascinating conversation with our guest Adam Rosenfield about HR as “change makers.”

Ted Bauer describes himself as “the Pied #Piper Of No-Bullshit Work Viewpoints,” and he has opinions!

A prolific writer, Ted muses aloud over at The Context of Things, drives conversations on Twitter, has a podcast called “The Blunder Years,” and posts regularly on LinkedIn and other channels – and he has a definite viewpoint about the world-of-work in which we toil! With a Master’s Degree in Organizational Leadership and a background in marketing (consulting, content, lead gen, etc.) he’s had quite a run in the “HR space” so he’s seen, well, LOTS of stuff.

Join us for this lively and provocative episode!

If you spend any time following HR trends, news and updates via social channels (Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) then you know our guest Kate Bischoff. She's an HR professional, an employment law attorney and an adjunct professor of HR compliance and she ALWAYS has something to say.

Join us as we discuss some of the latest news, rulings and updates from the world of employment law and workplace goings-on.

You can find Kate on Twitter, LinkedIn or at tHRive Law and Consulting.

HR professionals are often (or should be) the conscience of their organizations; serving as a guide while promoting appropriate and ethical behavior. Sometimes though the road is rocky and HR professionals misstep - whether through ignorance or, sadly, through indifference.

Join us for a provocative conversation with Janine Truitt (@MzJanineNicole) of Talent Think Innovations as we discuss how the HR community (and individual practiioners) can best confront and challenge the legacy thinking and actions around racism and sexism that, unfortunately, surface in far too many activities and interactions.

It's 2020...it's time to be better.

In the world of Talent Acquisition (and attraction!), providing a clear and compelling message to candidates has never been more critical for organizations that want to differentiate themselves.

Join us for a lively and informative discussion with Elena Valentine of Skill Scout when we discuss the foundations of effective storytelling and explore how the use of video can enhance the experience.

Join Michael and Robin as we discuss how health insurance costs businesses nearly $20,000 per employee, crushing the bottom lines of small businesses and putting a cap on wages that should be going up in the booming economy.

Chad DeFriece, a general manager at In-Line Packaging Systems Inc., a small North Charleston, SC manufacturing company, was sick of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on his self-funded health plan while seeing very little management of cost through the normal healthcare delivery channels. Chad knew there had to be a better way to deliver quality healthcare to employees and decrease costs.

Chad reached out to Tom DiLiegro, President of Benefits Advisors of Charleston, who builds employee benefits plans using the principles of the Health Rosetta, an open-source blueprint for better benefits.

Working together, Chad and Tom are saving In-Line Packaging more than $200K in health spending. At the same time, Chad was able to increase employee incentives, rival with larger competitors (like Volvo and Boeing), decrease employer liability, and cover 100% of the cost of primary care.

We will be discussing: the challenges faced by small business in providing health care for employeeswhat employees lose due to the cost of health careresources for business to respond to the challenge of health care costs

Join us as Robin and Mike talk with Pam Culpepper of Have Her Back about Gender Equity in the workplace.

As the two-year anniversary of the #Metoo movement arrives, only 15% of women believe that the movement has had an impact on their workplace, career, and opportunities in general, according to a nationwide survey conducted by Have Her Back Consulting, a women-owned and led culture consultancy.

The findings suggest that despite culture’s demand to advance equity for women, few companies have actually taken specific actions to change corporate culture. Perhaps most telling, 55% of respondents said the impact of #Metoo has been felt more on society and culture, while only 28% said it has had an equal impact on them, personally.

According to respondents, very few companies have taken actions to counter the issues that #MeToo identified. When asked what initiatives their employers have verbally committed to, 37% of respondents said “sexual harassment training” followed by 31% who said, “nothing.” When asked what actions were actually taken, 37% of respondents said “nothing” and only 28% said sexual harassment prevention training programs were conducted in their workplace.

We'll talk about: What companies are doing - right and wrong.How men and women see things in the workplace differentlyWhy a sense of urgency to work on gender equity must become a priority The pitfalls of not advancing Gender EquityGive us a brief history of Have Her Back ConsultingWhat are some of the barriers organizations face as they continue to tackle gender equity?What are a couple of things HR professionals can do to move the gender equity agenda along?

Mark joins Dwane to look back at Unleash and look ahead at technology trends.

SplashBI is an HR Focused reporting tool. They were kind enough to stop by at Unleash19 to chat a bit!

Join us as Robin and Mike talk with Mark Kluger about employment law issues employers are dealing with today and some potential answers to questions including

Should employers give gig workers benefits if they ask for them? Where the island of Digital is actually located, and why employers should know the answer to that question. New York harassment laws and the firing of McDonald's CEO Should employers give feedback to candidates? the legal advice and the real-world state of the labor market (Mark and I don't agree on this topic)

Mark practices exclusively in the area of labor and employment law on behalf of employers. For ten years, before founding Kluger Healey, LLC, he was Chairman of the Labor and Employment Department of one of New Jersey’s oldest law firms.

Thanks to the #Unleash19 conference in Paris, we were able to join a Q&A with Sir Bob Geldof. With a long career of driving change through music and performance, Geldof has become an icon in the entertainment industry. In this Q&A, we hear his views on music, the world, and what drives change.

China talks to us about the #Unleash19 Paris event and what's to come in 2020.

There’s a cliché which, as with many clichés, has some modicum of truth ---- HR professionals are the least prepared for the hiring process. As candidates they don’t have updated resumes and lack self-awareness. When hiring their “own” (i.e. another HR professional) they have unrealistic expectations and over-think the process. These two sides collide and chaos ensues: HR candidates get frustrated and HR leaders take-forever-to-fill-their-HR-positions.

Today's guest sees this first-hand. Laura Mazzulo is the Founder/Owner of East Side Staffing and specializes in the placement of HR professionals.

Join Robin and Mike for a lively chat with Laura as we discuss the continuing evolution of the HR profession and Laura shares some tips from the candidate AND the hiring manager side to make the experience successful for everyone.

HR leaders have experienced a seismic shift as the role of the human resources leader has evolved to one that is truly collaborative and advisory. Long gone are the days when HR merely showed up, ticked off the boxes, and called it a day. (because yes...those days did exist....).

Join us as Robin and Mike talk with Kindrick Benoit, HR and Diversity Manager with SCP Health, about HR’s role as a change agent, how to build and maintain collaborative relationships with other leaders, and the critical importance of diversity and inclusion in today’s organizations.

Lane Sutton is a marketing and employer brand strategist, speaker, recent graduate and Recruitment Marketing team at what he calls a "humble retailer you may have heard of." What drives him? A passion for building relationships, making marketing lovable, spreading inbound to recruiting, the consumer experience, and connecting people with brands through content, strategy, and telling a story.

Lane shares, "Maya Angelou once said 'people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.' That's true brand and experience."

The early story: In his single-digit years, Lane realized business and marketing was his thing. While most kids his age were playing sports, business was his sport. After his share of lemonade stands, he started a blog reviewing products, movies, and restaurants at age 11. That got him his first social media consulting gig and speaking engagement at age 12. His first job was at HubSpot when I was 16. Since then, I've been transforming how brands attract people with some very recognizable brands. Learn about what's keeping him up at night (hint: it's job ads!) on this "double episode" of DriveThru HR.

Rayanne Thorn Krueger joins us to talk about working with vendors, and why HR Practitioners are so important to their success.

Katrina Kibben, CEO of Three Ears Media, joins Crystal and Dwane on the DriveThru. Katrina teaches recruiters to be better writers. That whole "best in class" thing? Katrina helps your team create it through custom training, assessments and content creation services that help hiring leaders understand how to tell the story and translate employee voices into creative recruiting activities.

Katrina is a storyteller. A tactical problem solver. A curious mind. A data nerd. For most of her career, she's been a marketer living in a recruiter's world - listening to both sides of the talent equation to understand issues and conceptualize solutions for recruiting and hiring better people. Today, she does all of that at her own company, Three Ears Media.

Katrina is also a tireless LGBTQ advocate for people everywhere so having her on today, on National Coming Out Day, makes a lot of sense in more ways than one. Read more about her stories on Coming Out, They Won't Hire People Like Me, Don't Ask Don't Tell at Work, and What's Not Okay to Ask a LGBT Co-Worker and listen to us tackle how we're still falling short on taking people for who are and what we need to do about it.

This week, we take a look at automation and communications, as well as taking a look back at HR Tech 2019.

Join Crystal as she talks to Steven Rothberg, Founder of COLLEGE RECRUITER. Steven’s entrepreneurial spirit was evident from an early age. Disciplined in fifth grade for selling candy during math class and in college for running a massive fantasy hockey league (who maintains a friendly rivalry with DTHR Co-Host Dwane Lay), Steven managed to channel his passions into something more productive after graduate school. A fully recovered lawyer, Steven founded the business that morphed into College Recruiter and now, as it's visionary, helps to create and refine the company’s strategy and leads its business development efforts.

Steven has been widely quoted by local, regional, national and international media including NBC Nightly News, MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan Show, U.S. News & World Report, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, USA Today, FOX & Friends, and CNN. Steven was named by Mashable as one of the 20 top people for job seekers to follow on Twitter, by Fast Company magazine as a "Top 50 online influencer", and LinkedIn as having a profile which was one of the top one percent most viewed.

Steven believes that every student and recent graduate deserves a great career. He also believes every organization should understand programmatic advertising and the impact it can have on an organization's diversity & inclusion hiring efforts. In part 1 of this 2 part series with Crystal and Steven, they will be talking about: What programmatic isHow it works The state of semi-transparency with many job boards and media outlets

HR practitioners love hockey. At least the ones on this show do!

Join Michael as he talks to Juliana Stancampiano, author of RADICAL OUTCOMES. Julianna is an entrepreneur and the CEO of Oxygen. For more than fifteen years, she has worked with Fortune 500 companies, both in them and for them. Her firm’s clients include Microsoft, DXC, Delta Dental (of WA), Starbucks, F5 Networks, Avaya, and Western Digital, among others. Her in-depth experience, along with the research that Oxygen conducts and the articles she has published, has helped to shape the perspective that Oxygen embraces.

Learning and development is a $140 billion business, but much of that money is wasted on ineffective programs that don’t deliver the training that today’s employees need, according to our guest Juliana Stancampiano.

“There’s no doubt that everyone in business must have a continually-evolving skill set,” says Stancampiano. “Customers have increasingly high expectations, and meeting those expectations demands the ability to leverage evolving technologies and new ways of working,” she explains. But all too often, organizations send their staffs to five-day training courses or assign them multiple online learning modules that fail to create measurable results.

What we will be talking about:

Why training may not be the only solution when companies are facing tough challenges What types of training will work in today’s data-driven business world What you need to know about “your audience” in order to create effective programs How to develop interactive training that engages employees Why focusing on outcomes is the key to building useful programs

Join us for today's timely conversation about whistleblowers and investigations.

Working in human resources we often (OK – ALL the time) seem to be talking about the employee experience – but what does that look like in action? How, when and why do things like trust, and cultural values play a part? And while HR has a role to play in enabling and nurturing a great employee experience, what about managers? How do we ensure EVERYONE is singing-the-same-song?

Join us this week when we talk with Erin Miller, VP of HR at PrecisionHawk (they do stuff with drones!) about her team’s approach to ensuring a people-centric approach to HR | People Operations. (you can follow her on twitter here )

Looking at Continuous Feedback Technology through the lens of HR Technology. How realistic is it for a business to deploy this kind of feedback loop, what does the technology look like to support it, and what does the data tell us about the model's effectiveness?

Bryan Chaney is the head of Employer Branding for Indeed and the founder of Talent Brand Alliance (TBA). Join host Crystal Miller Lay as they talk about the difference between employer branding and talent branding (is there one?), TBA's upcoming conference in London, and what's keeping him up at night.

If you've ever been to the #HRTech conference, chances are you've seen Jeanne Achille at work (and maybe didn't even know it!). Founder and CEO of The Devon Group, she's worked with some of the biggest names, and conferences, in HCI. Join hosts Crystal & Robin as Jeanne talks about how to get the most out of your conference experience, HR Tech (of course) and her newest endeavor, chairing the Select HR Tech Conference.

Are all recruiters, and recruiting functions, created equal? Of course not. Recruiting teams, after all, are filled with individuals with varying backgrounds, beliefs and...yes...biases.

On today’s episode Robin will dive into a lively conversation with Keirsten Greggs, Founder of Trap Recruiter, as we discuss () how recruiters impact and influence company culture/brand () what happens when recruiters insert their own bias into the recruiting process, and (*) how we can overcome challenges when, driven by today’s political climate and polarizing discourse, seemingly EVERYONE involved in the hiring process brings their biases to work.

In her business Kristen is actively focused on bridging the gap between the job seeker and organizations committed to attracting, hiring, developing and retaining diverse talent.

Let’s chat!

Join Michael as he talks health insurance alternatives with Shane Foss, CEO of Hooray Health.

With over 20 years of tenure as an executive in the medical industry, Shane Foss became frustrated with how under-served Americans were with the current healthcare options. He set out to make a change and in 2018 achieved this goal through launching Hooray Health, an unconventional health insurance company dedicated to providing affordable basic and urgent health care alternatives to high-deductible health plans. Through Hooray Health, Foss and his team focus on offering peace of mind to lower-income individuals and families who face medical challenges, while also providing business owners with an affordable way to reward and retain employees. Partnering with companies like Sedera, Ameritas, and Aflac, they have been able to add critical services and supplemental plans giving immense value to employers and individuals.

What we will talk about:

Why so many file personal bankruptcies due to medical expenses even though they have health insurance. Skyrocketing health coverage costs, 55% increase in health insurance premiums in the last ten years. What are employers facing in the current job market and what they need to know. The shocking figures of an average medical bill. What you should expect and deserve from a health insurance company - accessibility, simplicity, and affordability What should Americans be most worried about when it comes to healthcare? Do you see a future with a single-payer system - where people actually obtain a plan they want? What insights are there into health coordinators and proactive healthcare management? What should employers and business owners know when it comes to healthcare? What makes Hooray Health different and what type of companies do you work with? T

HR leaders at the edge of transformation.

The Association of Talent Acquisition Professionals (ATAP) was founded in 2016 to develop a body of unified educational, ethical and measurement standards, advocate on issues that impact those in our profession, and build a global community of inspired and informed professionals.

Newly named Executive Director Kristen Leblanc joins host Crystal Miller Lay on the DriveThru to share her thoughts on the impact Talent Acquisition can have on the business through candidate experience, all about ATAP and share recognition of the impact TA has on millions of people around the world.

You’ve sourced and screened. Your candidate has endured (perhaps) multiple interviews and (hallelujah) you’ve extended an offer. But now you wait and wonder “will they accept it?”

Every HR professional has their own (personal) philosophy of what the practice of human resources entails and they use that to define their primary purpose. Some view their most important responsibility to be the compliance expert (i.e. “policy police”). Others consider their role as the organizational culture and engagement champion to be at the fore-front. There are some who prefer HR to be seen-and-not-heard as they manage processes and procedures from the sidelines. Our guest this week, Nicole Roberts, VP of HR at BrightView, LLC considers helping others succeed to be top of mind.

Join us as we talk to Nicole about what drives her approach to HR when we’ll discuss how to STOP making assumptions about people’s behavior, the benefits of approaching our interactions from a place of positive intent, and the harm that comes when leaders (and HR professionals) treat employees “like children.” (ugh).

Back in February of 2010, Drive thru HR was launched as a daily - yes DAILY! – radio show discussing all things HR related. (Were people even using the term “podcast” in 2010? I’m not quite sure.......)

Over the years there have been various formats, broadcast schedules and hosts but one thing that has remained constant has been the focus on discussing items that matter to individuals working in HR | People Strategy.

Join us for this week’s show when we: talk about our latest re-bootdiscuss the latest news from the world of human resources P.S. This week’s show title “Everything HR” was also the title of the very first episode back on 2.1.2010.

“Fifty-three percent of people have left jobs or considered leaving their job because they think that their employers don't recruit or retain high-performing individuals. The recruiter's job is pivotal to the success of the company yet our poor reputation is causing our own undoing.” powerful opening words in Katrina Collier’s new book, The Robot-Proof Recruiter.

We are recruiting in different times, yet most companies don’t realise how transparent they are, how every employee now impacts hiring, and that not looking after people at any point - be they client, lurker, candidate, applicant, employee or alumnus, can destroy all of your recruitment efforts.

Katrina Collier, founder of The Searchologist, is a former recruiter determined to improve candidate engagement through the book, speaking, and facilitating hiring manager and recruiter offsites. She is also the founder of 5 DisruptHR events in the UK, an Ambassador for Hope for Justice, and podcast co-host of The #SocialRecruiting Show.

Join us as we chat all things candidate engagement, ghosting and well, she’s Australian, so we’ll probably go off topic!

Human Resources needs new skills, but what are the skills you will need in the future. Join Michael and Robin as they discuss this and other topics about the world of work with Zoe Harte.

The world of work is evolving rapidly. Yet only 1 in 5 HR leaders feels prepared to handle the challenges ahead.

Bias, of course, exists in many facets of the recruiting and hiring process. But how does bias against older candidates come into play? And when odes bias morph into plain-old illegal discrimination? According to a survey from AARP, nearly 66% of workers age 45 and older have seen or experienced age discrimination on the job.

This week we’ll be chatting with Jo Weech, founder of Exemplary Consultants. Jo is also a speaker and writer on HR topics and her LinkedIn article, posted in July 2018, garnered 10,000+ views and close to 2,000 comments when she posed the question: “Over 40 and Interviewing?

It’s a bit of a buzzword (buzz phrase?) but the importance of the candidate experience is still urgent and important with companies more than ever. There are real business impacts in terms of productivity, candidate conversion costs, and top of funnel marketing $$$ spend and sometimes, if the experience is not satisfactory, we still end up with disillusioned candidates!

Join us as we talk to Dwaine Maltais, CEO of Talentegy, to review findings from their latest research (2019 Candidate Experience Report) and discuss why more technology may not be the right answer.

DriveThruHR has been around for a long time. We're coming up on a decade. We've had lots of hosts, a few format changes, lots of fun, a couple of really bad guests (you know who you are.... j/k) and a shit ton of episodes. 1399 to be sort of precise. On Tuesday, April 16 - we will be recording episode number 1400.

So what, we often find ourselves asking, are the must have KSAs for HR professionals of the future?

As the digital transformation sweeps the world there are, of course, incredible changings happening in workplaces around the globe. In the recent “2019 HR Skills of the Future” report, the authors discuss the need for HR professionals to become digitally and numerically literate...but what does this mean in the trenches? How do individuals working in human resources take that journey? What does the future look like not just for the CHROs at large enterprises but also for Susie the HR Coordinator at a regional insurance office in Ames, IA or Monroe, LA?

Join us this week with guest Anthony Onesto, Chief People Officer at Suzy, who has led numerous HR transformations. Prior to becoming CPO at Suzy, he was Head of US for Konrad Group and founded KAE.ai, an artificially intelligent human resource agent that augments human resource departments and he’s helped build and scale several high-growth startups over the course of his career.

If there’s one industry that most people in the US have worked in at one stage it’s the restaurant industry; millions of people have flipped burgers or worked a cash register or slung food and drinks to thirsty/hungry patrons. For many people, the restaurant industry served as their first exposure to the world of work; good, bad or indifferent.

Joining us this week at the Drive Thru will be Jamie Griffin, founder of Good Workforce, and a Restaurant Chain Consultant and Executive who has worked across the spectrum of the restaurant industry; he’s partnered with Founders and he’s partnered with front line staff. He’s been involved as restaurant chains have gone through major transformation and he’s helped them scale at a tremendous pace.

Warble was created by Carolyn Holliday, Founder after personally experiencing the pain of a bad boss. She didn't believe she could turn to HR or higher level executives to help her. She was faced with two options: 1. She could continue to suffer and incur obstruction and targeting while my boss now attempted to dismantle my reputation, or 2. She could walk away taking her self-respect, experience, and reputation with her.

She chose option 2. This was the inspiration for Warble.

Warble is designed to help companies identify people problems before they negatively impact corporate culture and revenues.

This week our guest from Warble will be Jerry Moyer, who joined Warble, Inc in January 2018 to help deliver on its mission - helping companies identify people problems before they negatively impact corporate culture and revenues.

Through Warble’s web-based service, employees around the US can give anonymous feedback about co-workers or leaders who are exhibiting harmful or disruptive behavior that is impacting culture, productivity, or employee well-being. We will be asking Jerry to talk to us about: The Warble Founder's StoryWhat is Warble?How does Warble work?Who uses Warble?How does a company know they got a Warble, and what usually happens?

We’ll go where the conversation takes us around “a day in the life” of this fast growing company, the nifty things RevZilla is doing in the community, organizational culture (“what’s an intentional approach?”) and why, for 5 years in a row, RevZilla has been recognized as a Top Workplace in Philadelphia.

In the realm of topics that just won’t go away there is “employee engagement;” we continue to talk, discuss and debate. Is there anything “new” to say? Our guests this week, Jamie Notter and Maddie Grant, think there is!

Join Mike and Robin as they chat with Jamie and Maddie (from Human Workplaces) as we discuss:

Why culture is more important than engagement and what the relationship is between the two. How to define employee engagement in a way that connects directly to what makes both your organization and your employees more successful. Why engagement surveys are so flawed and how to dig into your culture to go beyond “symptom” metrics. Why do we persist with the generational stereotypes? (OK – that’s Robin’s question/hot point!)

It would be divided up into 4 acts and set to a soundtrack made up of old Elton John Songs.

Act 1 - “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”

Act 2 - “I guess that’s why they call it the Blues”

Act 3 - “I’m still standing”

Act 4 - “The Bitch is back”

And the post-credits closing scene of the vlog would be set to two sings by David Bowie. - “Golden Years” and “Rebel Rebel”

Hello 2019!

For this show, we are super excited to be able to interview the Dynamic Duo. No, not Batman and Robin. Stop it.

We're going to interview one of the major HR powerhouse duos in North America. Those fine folks who live on the icy edge of Lake Erie, the ZuCo's. What do you mean you still don't who I'm talking about?

Okay, our guests for this weeks #DOtheWork show are Frank Zupan and Tammy Colson. We'll be talking about some very diverse stuff around work including wine, being trapped in the hourly workforce, unemployment, Underemployment, Awful employment, temporary employment, self-employment, and the 2019 inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And of course, we will close with a wine recommendation for those fans that are unhappy about their favorite artist not being nominated. (Think Warren Zevon)

We’re super excited to dive into this week’s #WorkplaceNow show as Mike and Robin talk with John Baldino; the brilliant, high-energy President of Humareso.

John’s a #PhillyGuy (Yo!) so we’re sure to talk cheesesteaks, Eagles football, and music but we’re also going to pose a few questions such as...

When we consider that by the year 2020, 42 million Americans will be self-employed, what does that mean for the workforce? With the rise of self-employment, contract work and the gig economy, how do we cultivate organizational “juice?” What’s the impact of all of this on culture, succession planning, intellectual property and knowledge management? What happens to inclusionary efforts and considerations around diversity of thought, experience, socio-economic background, orientation, and disability? But... isn’t work merely a “transactional relationship” in the end? What if it IS all about the ‘benjamins’? $$$

Join us for this week’s episode when Mike and Robin talk to Henry Albrecht, CEO of Limeade about how to break down HR silos in your organization. Henry is energetic, irreverent and passionate about the evolving employee engagement industry, and he has some ideas on how things could be done better. He’s seen what works, what doesn’t and has tips for HR pros to align across functions and campaign for better resources and technology that will serve the greater good.

Talent management, benefits and diversity/inclusion pros are siloed in their roles, but they’re striving for the same thing: a more engaged workforce that can drive business results. Employee engagement is a recruiting & retention tool, it drives well-being, productivity, and innovation and is linked to better stock market performance. Nine out of 10 CHROs cite employee engagement as their top priority, yet the teams beneath them are duking it out for attention. What if they all worked together?

What else do we intend to talk about? Here’s what we’re planning:

Why did you decide to start Limeade?

Many people still think of well-being as a benefits strategy. How do you respond?

Why are HR silos preventing companies from approaching well-being as a business strategy?

Can you share an example of a company that’s getting it right?

What can HR pros do to break down silos? (Short term & long-term)

What’s the #1 thing HR pros need to be prepared for in 2019?

Join us for this week’s episode when Mike and Robin talk to Katee Van Horn with Bar the Door Consulting and Coaching. Katee is a diversity and inclusion speaker, coach and strategist whose previous roles include VP of Global Engagement and Inclusion at GoDaddy. (We’re going to make her tell a quick story of what she and her team did there – because it’s fascinating!)

Creating a diverse and inclusive workforce involves more than just adjusting your hiring practices. As Katee has pointed out “you can’t just add numbers; hiring ten African American women is great, but if they don’t have a great experience and don’t have the opportunity to move up the ranks, they’re going to leave.

What else do we intend to talk about? Here’s what we’re planning: Understanding IntersectionalityThe importance of thinking about “balanced teams and underrepresented groups” vs. “diversity”What companies can do to start (or continue) their journey to nurturing an inclusive culture @DrivethruHR

On this week’s episode, which happens to be running on the day of the US mid-term elections with numerous state and local races also occurring, we’ll be having what promises to be a robust and timely discussion.

Join Mike and Robin as they talk to Steve Paskoff, Owner and CEO of ELI, Inc., and a former EEOC trial attorney.

We’ll talk about the emotionally driven issues, especially as it comes to politics and elections, that people bring into the workplace with them. We’ll talk about: How to productively address social, political and other sensitive issues and frustrations being felt by virtually all groupsTips and tools for dealing with elections and other issues in the news at workSuggestions to help employees productively talk through these issuesHow organizations can foster productive conversations about sensitive issues in the workplace And remember – VOTE on 11/6/2018 (either before or after the show).

We're back. Again. Really. This time we're really back.

We've set up a schedule and everything. Like a content/planning calendar that's color-coded and has columns labeled "responsible party."

We are definitely back.

We're starting with this show and then we'll be LIVE (Noon, CT) every Tuesday thereafter. OK; chances are we won't broadcast on major national holidays. But every other Tuesday we'll be here.

On this week's show Mike VanDervort will be joined by Robin Schooling to discuss the future of Drive thru HR.

They'll take some live calls, and, in the spirit of Halloween, share some good old-fashioned spooky HR Horror Stories.

SHRM18, #CUE2018, #DTHR,

Michael talks with Mary Dale Walters, senior VP of communications at Allsup.

It’s hard enough to get a job and if you have a disability, your chances are even worse.

A new study found that employer misconceptions and stereotypes contribute to the extremely high (83%) unemployment rate for people with disabilities.

The fact that 96% of people with disabilities have an “invisible disability” that’s not readily seen, combined with employer uncertainty on the cost of employing these individuals, contributes to inaccurate stereotypes. In reality, employees with disabilities bring new perspectives to the workplace and may actually save employers money.

Telework, the common go-to solution, isn’t as easy as it seems. Almost half (45%) of employers surveyed require a probationary period that prohibits telework.

Mary will offer tips for employers to crush these barriers and create a disability-friendly work culture.

Here's the deal. Life is too damn short to spend it feeling stuck. Or frustrated. Or focused on doing what you “should” do. Getting beyond these feelings takes work and guts but it’s well worth it. Having a partner in crime to help you navigate these waters makes it less daunting and quite frankly, gets you to your destination quicker. I work with people (and the businesses that employ them) who are looking to kick ass in their organizations and beyond. People who are feeling lost and want a guide to help find and do work that matters to them while having enough energy left over to enjoy life.

Host Michael VanDervort talks to Kelly Poulson

Talking HR and #Workhuman with John Baldino Live!

Human resources is an art form. Balancing the law, various organizational construct principles and the differences in people takes great skill and a hunger to improve the balance daily.

At Humareso, we strive to be the dynamic partner to companies who are seeking to remain compliant, culturally astute and profitably mobile.

We believe in the greatness of people – their ability to rise from failure, to accept a challenge and to innovate business.

To that end, we serve to encourage staff of all levels while maintaining the highest regard for business plans and corporate strategy.

Created out of sheer exasperation with the “go-to” Job Boards (you know who they are, you’ve probably been annoyed by them when you’ve had a job opening or while job searching), Kenny Berger, CEO of WorkSearch, decided that if there wasn’t a better way available, he was going to make one!
