Happy Labor Day Weekend, and the end of the first-week extravaganza we are calling #SnackableHR.  These are short episodes offering up one HR tip or idea from friends of the show. 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.
