Drive Thru HR

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).

You can follow Nicole on Twitter and check out her blog here.

The beauty of doing a live show? Sometimes our guests have last minute conflicts.

But not to worry - Mike and Robin spend some time talking about a people-centered culture, allowing employees to co-create the employee experience, and challenges faced by HR professionals eager to "transform" their organizations.

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!

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? Have these things happened to you?”

Raise your hand if you’ve ever implemented an HR Technology solution at your organization. (counts hands...yup; most everyone). Naturally, it’s often only AFTER a solution has been implemented, and the post-mortems begin, that we fully realize what we could have done better. Alas.

If you’re in the process of an implementation or if you anticipate diving in at some stage in the future, you’ll want to join us for this week’s show!

Caleb Fullhart, CEO and Systems Practice Lead of Strio Consulting, joins us with his top tips for successful planning and implementations of HR technology. With 20+ years experience in all facets of TA and HR Tech (integrations, configurations and implementations), he specializes in big data analytics, demand planning and cyber security.

Give us a listen as we discuss everything from planning and system configuration to acceptance, adoption and usage.
