HR Interviews Playlist

The climate emergency is the greatest challenge humans have ever faced, and it affects all of us. In August of last year, as part of The Inflation Reduction Act, the US federal government pledged $365 Billion to fight climate change. Since then, over 100,000 climate jobs have already been created in the US economy. Despite the seriousness of the situation and the obvious relevance to our sector, climate jobs and the climate emergency don't seem to be things we are discussing. This needs to change.

My guest this week is Natalie Lavery, Marketing Lead at Climate People, a Climate Tech recruiting firm. Climate People are fighting to make every job a climate job. It was brilliant to get Natalie's insight into a critically important market that is full of opportunity.

In the interview, we discuss:

• The reimagining of the global economy

• What is Climate Tech, and what are Climate Jobs?

• Is Climate Tech the future of all jobs

• Barriers to jobseekers taking climate jobs and how to break them down

• Awareness, mindset, and incentives

• The importance of diverse talent and diverse voices

• What can we all do to make our jobs climate jobs?

Digital Talent, the second book co-authored by Mervyn Dinnen and myself, came out a year ago this month. We've been blown away by the response to the book and want to thank everyone who has bought, read and shared it.

Twelve months is a long time in our industry at the moment, so I sat down with Mervyn to discuss the book's key themes and how things have developed over the last year. We recorded the conversation in a proper studio, so there is also a video version of this podcast (link in the show notes), which is worth watching just to take in the full glory of Mervyn's shirt. Enjoy the conversation

In our conversation, we discuss:

• The acceleration of Digital Transformation

• The ongoing disruption of Talent Acquisition

• Redefining talent

• Results versus noise in DE&I

• Taking a more strategic approach to hiring

This week in HRTech: Betterworks makes meeting more productive; Limeade integrates with Microsoft to make employee productivity accessible.

You've heard it before: "HR deserves a seat at the table." It's far from reality for most organizations that see talent acquisition as a cost center and not the heartbeat of any successful company. That's why we invited Jeff Lackey, founder and CEO at JKL Advisors and podcast host of 'Growing Your Business with People' to come to give some sound advice on how Human Resources can get off the sidelines and into the game. A great discussion for newbies and grizzled veterans alike.

We talk with Paycor's Gal Almog about AI and recruiting, and where recruiting technology may be headed.

In this episode, Jackye and Katee chat with Pam Luk. Pam Luk is the founder of Ember & Ace, an athletic wear brand for plus size kids. Growing up playing sports, she learned firsthand the importance of finding active wear that fits. After a career in project management, Pam wanted to ensure her daughter and other children are able to be comfortable in the clothes they wear for sporting activities. She went after that desire and launched a fashion line exclusively for active plus size kids. In June, Pam launched a Kickstarter campaign that was fully funded in just 17 days to help launch Ember & Ace!

Pam understands what it means to be plus-size while also being an active, healthy child and adult. She wants to bring more awareness around body diversity, how to talk to your child about bodies and embracing differences and tools parents can utilize to make clothes shopping easier. Pam has recently been featured on Eat The Rules, Burnt Toast, Well + Good, and more.
