WorkTrends

You probably hear a lot of buzz about diversity and inclusion. But for many years, our D&I conversation has largely ignored one disempowered population: people with a criminal record. We interview Michelle Cirocco, chief responsibility officer at Televerde, about how we can all give people a second chance and create new opportunities for everyone.

Like it or not, we're all connected — and in our tech-driven world, organizations have more of a global presence than ever before. This week, recruiter and Recruiting Brainfood curator Hung Lee joins #WorkTrends to take a look at the global state of work.

We now have six generations in the workforce, but ironically we have never had more ageism than we do now. As the week's #WorkTrends guest notes, ageism affects everyone in the workplace, whether they're sixteen or eighty-six. By the time you're in your 40s, you will likely have experienced it. This week on #WorkTrends, host Meghan M. Biro talks to Vinay Singh about age discrimination in the workplace today, and why so many workers are feeling the impact.

Having an accessible workplace is not only the right thing to do, but it opens your organization up to an even wider candidate pool. This week on #WorkTrends, Meghan M. Biro speaks with Neil Milliken, the global head of accessibility, about making the office a great place for everyone.

We associate the business world with being cutthroat, but is that really how it should work? This week on #WorkTrends, Steve Farber joins us to talk about his newest book, "Love is Just Damn Good Business," and why "love" should never be a four-letter word at your business.

It's a turbulent world out there, but that doesn't mean organizations should stand by and wait for the worst to happen. Eric McNulty, co-author of "You're It: Crisis, Change, and How to Lead When It Matters Most," shares tips about leading organizations during times of crisis.

Your organization needs rockstars to thrive, but finding the candidates who will take your organizations from the backyard battle of the bands to sold-out arenas is more difficult than it looks. This week on #WorkTrends, host Meghan M. Biro talks to Fetcher cofounder Genevieve Jurvetson about how we can rethink talent acquisition, remove bias, and find candidates who will get your organization rocking.

While we all dream of working remotely, it's not as easy as it sounds. James Lloyd, founder of Redox, joins us to discuss the challenges of managing an all-remote team and leading a distributed company.

Work doesn't always suck — but sometimes, it really does. This week on #WorkTrends, Michael Brenner, author of "Mean People Suck: How Empathy Leads to Bigger Profits and a Better Life," joins us to explain how empathy is the key to creating both a better workplace and a better life.

Are you minding the gap? The compliance gap, that is. Keeping up with regulations can be a real challenge, but there are a variety of solutions and best practices HR organizations can use to stay on top of everything they need to know. This week on #WorkTrends, host Meghan M. Biro talks about how organizations can stay on top of compliance issues with Poster Guard's Shanna Wall.
