Drive Thru HR

If I was writing an introspective retrospective blog post about the ups and downs of life in 2018 (which I’m not since I just deleted it.)

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’? $$$

Komal will discuss new innovations in the HR space including how to identify imposter candidates, inflated resumes and share some of the absolutely crazy ways in which she's seen candidates try and fool recruiters during the interview process.

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

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.
