NOW of Work

Talent development is nuanced, with career “engagers,” motivators, individual values, and skill gaps of each employee determining potential career opportunities. So how can it be scaled for an entire workforce? You democratize it, says Anne Fulton, CEO and Co-founder of Fuel50. “We love what our science brings to the business,” putting information about potential fit for a particular job in the hands of employees, the very people who should own their own future. At a time when talent optimization and internal mobility are more critical than ever for business agility and even business continuity, bringing rigor and science to decisions about talent just makes good business sense. Anne Fulton might call it business science. Enjoy this fascinating conversation between Jason Averbook and Anne Fulton.

What do adaptability and resilience look like in business? How are you behaving or operating now that is a positive improvement over how you operated pre-Covid? George McGehrin tells a start-over story many entrepreneurs, business owners, anyone for that matter can relate to. When stars do not align in your favor and you’re forced to rebuild and make decisions all over again, how do you rebuild better and smarter than before? What new decisions do you make? It’s a story we can all learn from in an historic year that has handed us the opportunity to rebuild just about everything. Perhaps the Great American Dream is the Great American Start-Over Story. Take a listen to George McGehrin with Jess Von Bank.

Take a listen as Jason Averbook and Jess Von Bank continue their conversation with Trish McFarlane and Steve Boese of H3 HR and the HR Happy Hour. The conversation continues with personalization and prioritization when it comes to how, when and where we work. That’s just one long-awaited and surprise benefit of the pandemic driving everyone out of traditionally defined and structured workplaces and known, well-worn norms. But wait: just because we “went digital” during Covid, does that mean we just push things remote and online and say we’re digital now? NOPE. Remote doesn’t mean digital, tech doesn’t equal digital, online doesn’t imply digital. Digital requires a new EXPERIENCE, and that requires intentional design, a unique approach, and an elevated experience.

Trish McFarlane and Steve Boese do incredible work to support HR and the HR Technology space. That’s why Jason Averbook and Jess Von Bank hosted them on the Now of Work, and why they had a billion questions. “When do we get to stop talking about Covid?” “What do the unemployment claims, jobs reports, and reported dismissals need to show us before we can claim economic recovery?” “How does the talent pot get re-sorted and re-mixed when HALF of American small businesses won’t survive Covid and when entire industries and verticals are being shattered?” “How did the pandemic act like a GREAT CLEARING when it came to workplace redundancies?”

Work has changed forever, and it's ABOUT TIME. We were 10 years behind when it came to matching our experience of work to our experience of the WORLD. Just one way work has changed is how we think of it, how we structure and compensate work, who performs it and the employment relationship people desire, and how we think about “employees" versus "talent opportunities." We want flexibility, customization, and personalization to Work Your Way. We’ve called it the gig economy, the contingent workforce, and other things, but let’s stop separating it from our holistic view of WORK. There are a lot of different actors in the complicated landscape of the extended workforce; a holistic model and manageable experience should be the goal. Dan Beck & Annrai O’Toole join Jason Averbook on the Now of Work to talk about Utmost and their important exploration of the extended workforce.

Don’t miss this episode with Susan LaMotte, a pioneer in Employment Branding who started at Ritz-Carlton and Marriott running a portfolio of 18 brands before Employer Branding was even a function. How did working in hospitality force her to rethink work, what did it teach her about a company’s core values, and how did that drive her to found Exaqueo? Susan sheds light on what her company - already virtual pre-Covid - learned through the pandemic, and she comments on how brand strategies need to shift in the NOW of Work.
