  • Up Next @ Work, Episode 3 with CareerXroads

    On this episode of Up Next @ Work, Jeanne Achille and Kate Achille of The Devon Group sit down with industry legend Gerry Crispin of CareerXroads to talk about transparency. Gerry believes that there's a growing need for transparency in HR Tech, a space that's become increasingly blurry over the years. Which analyst is working with which company? Which influencer is promoting which product? Is anyone objective anymore? Gerry offers his thoughts on why transparency matters as the three work to find a clear-cut answer to the matter of disclosure.

  • Up Next @ Work, Episode 2 with East Side Staffing

    For episode two of Up Next @ Work, Jeanne Achille and Kate Achille of The Devon Group talk to Laura Mazzullo of East Side Staffing about the hiring landscape in 2024. What's happening? Can anyone make it make sense? And more than that, can anyone help out these poor recruiting teams? They need more support, access to resources, better training, or a hug, at least. No doubt it is rough out there this year, but together, Jeanne, Kate and Laura envision a few different paths forward.

  • Up Next @ Work, Episode 1 with WRKdefined

    On the inaugural episode of Up Next @ Work, Kate Achille of The Devon Group is joined by WRKdefined's William Tincup and Ryan Leary to discuss 2024 HR tech trends, Gen AI adoption and more. Will HR and talent professionals take a shine to Gen AI? Tincup seems to think the road to meaningful adoption rates will be long and arduous, putting HR tech vendors in the awkward position of selling to whom? For folks on the inside of the industry, especially HR tech marketers, there's lots to mull over here, given the gap in solutions versus buyers.

  • The Transformative Impact of Generative AI with Anoop Gupta, SeekOut
    Generative AI is in its infancy says SeekOut CEO Anoop Gupta; yet, it is already having a transformational impact. As we move from documents to dialogue, John is concerned about AI making judgments about people. Great people and great companies grow together says Anoop, who reinforces that our social systems aren’t built for accountability when the machines make errors and therefore humans still need to be present and accountable. Anoop shares a fun presentation tip thanks to ChatGPT and John doesn’t disappoint when it comes to asking tough questions. This is our 50th episode of #TheWork podcast and we’ve barely scratched the surface of what work means to all of us. Thanks for listening to and liking #TheWork wherever you access your podcasts.

  • It’s Nifty to be Fifty: Certifying HR & Organizations with Dr. Amy Dufrane
    Work is changing and we need to be ready for what’s next, says Dr. Amy Dufrane, the CEO of HRCI and HRSI. In this episode, we deconstruct the emerging role of AI in the workplace, reflect on the importance of ethics, and argue who’s winning the argument of human-powered critical thinking vs. relying exclusively on machines. John and Jeanne spar on whether HR can think mathematically and the overall financial acumen of HR professionals. Amy defuses our spirited argument with the facts: HR understands data, is relying on it to support business decisions, and going toe-to-toe with CFOs every day. We’re grateful to Dr. Dufrane for joining us on #TheWork podcast and we’d be remiss if we neglected to wish HRCI congratulations on its 50th anniversary. The best is yet to come!

  • Better People Decisions, Better Business Outcomes with Richard Rosenow
    Richard Rosenow is one of the HR industry’s leading experts in the rapidly rising field of people analytics. His experience spans the practitioner side – as director of people planning & analytics at Uber and workforce planning program manager at Facebook – as well as the vendor side, in his current role as VP People Analytics Strategy at One Model. The hairy problem of HR data lurking in different places doesn’t scare him; in this interview, he tells us about what HR needs, what IT expects, and the role of other HR vendors. Richard helps us understand how people analytics helps HR make people decisions - a participatory function that, when executed across the board, also helps organizations drive better business outcomes. What was previously “a wisp of an idea,” people analytics is well on its way to massive adoption. Thanks for listening to #TheWork.

  • Culture, Organizations, People & Kimonos with Michael Kannisto
    If you’re a regular listener of #TheWork #podcast, you know that John Sumser and Jeanne Achille love chatting with guests who have broad interests and a penchant for the creative. Guest Michael Kannisto defines creativity by helping people think differently about the future that can make their organizations better. As an example, he explains the enduring history of the kimono, a product – unlike many on the market today - that people have willingly spent discretionary funds on for more than one thousand years. Masterful at stepping around the mud called business as usual, Michael treats listeners to a peek into his dressmaking hobby and shares how to imagine possible futures. You’ll enjoy this time with the scenario director of Mindemiclab. Thanks for listening.

  • A Forgotten Talent Pool: Visually Impaired Candidates
    People with disabilities, including those facing vision loss, are overwhelmingly underemployed, with only 30% fully employed. Many employers don’t consider people who are blind or visually impaired when hiring, often because they think it’s too difficult to accommodate them in the workplace. Nothing can be further from the truth. In this episode of #TheWork, we chat with Marianne Haegeli, Director, Learning and Leadership, at NSITE. We learned so much from her. We know that you will too.

  • Fit Scores and AI with Mahe Bayireddi, CEO of Phenom

In this episode of #TheWork, we chat with Phenom’s CEO, Mahe Bayireddi. He discusses what employers need to consider when hiring frontline versus knowledge workers.
