“A War For Talent Is Starting—Spoiler Alert: Workers Will Win” - Forbes

If you are an HR leader, you don't need headlines to tell you how hard it is to retain and attract talent today or that the employees are winning (and that's good news!).

But the change that is required isn’t just more flexibility or more perks - it might require a complete overhaul of your organization's culture. If that's the case, you don't want to miss watching this vlog post.

Our HR Mastermind Groups had the privilege a couple of years ago to have Paul Hoffman, the CHRO of Hunt Consolidated come in and share their journey on how they created an amazing culture even with such global and diverse businesses and now we have made an edited version available to our community.

Hunt is one of the largest privately held global companies in the w...

They call me Momma Bear of HR and my heart goes out to HR leaders and all that has landed on their lap in the last 18 months.#Pandemic, #DEI&B, #Retention, #GreatResignation, #RTO, #RemoteFirst, #EmployeeMentalHealth

So when this article was posted by one of our HR Circle Facebook members it completely hit home and I couldn’t have described the state of HR any better…

“After 18 months of unrelenting change, HR is burned out, too” 

Here are excerpts from the article..

“...there’s simply too much work to be able to fully step away and prioritize their (HR’s) wellbeing.”

“...(HR leaders) helping companies shift to remote work....drafted every type of business update and filtered down messages from the top, oftentimes bearing the brunt of negative feedback from employees.”

“The competition puts more pressure on HR to make sure their organization is offering the best and most attractive benefits, including competitive pay; flexible work arrangements; ample health and wellbeing support...

As organizations start bringing corporate events back and are trying to capture the hearts and minds of employees it is important to get the message and delivery right.

Today we interview Stephanie Weaver a public speaking coach since 2011and curator for TEDxSanDiego and organizes TED-style corporate events.

Stephanie shares what she sees organizations do to help their sr. executives deliver engaging and compelling messages in corporate events , customer events and town-halls.  Whether the executives fall in the "I don't need help" or "I hate public speaking" camp they all can benefit from a coach.

She shares with us the different types of talks beyond TED style talks and a framework for HR leaders to help their execs deliver more compelling and engaging communications to their employees and customers.

HR knows when it comes to career pathing and succession planning the process can leave employees feeling:

...Unclear about the metrics they’re being measured on

  ...Concerned with their promotion track

 ...Unsure about the impact it will have on salary

To help ease your workforce’s fears and create a career pathing process for retention join me in watching this month’s lesson with Felicia Taylor the CHRO at Trintech (Previous VP of Global HR and M&A at RealPage, Inc.) where she shares her expertise on:

 ...The importance of career paths in employee retention and performance management

 ...Why today’s workforce values job progression as much as pay

 ...Simple tools to help you launch competency-based career paths

 ...How to measure turnover associated with career growth to show leaders why employees are leaving for better opportunities

After watching this one-hour lesson you will gain new tools and expert knowledge so that you can tackle career development challenges in you...

A company who is not customer-centric or focused on employee engagement can make HR feel as though: 

      ...Employees are not reaching their full potential & become under-performers

      ...It is difficult to get anything meaningful done

      ...The unhappiness of the culture has a spillover effect into the quality of service customers receive

 In this month's lesson, Jeff Kramer the CHRO at 1st Global (prior)* shares the value of HR's journey. Moving from transactional HR to a strategic partner and then to ultimately focus on cultivating a culture that aligns employee engagement to creating a competitive advantage for the business. 

 After decades in HR, Jeff has the incredible ability to coach Senior Executives, educate them, get them on board, and make his initiatives business programs NOT human resources' agendas. 

 In this 30-minute lesson you will learn: 

  ...5 steps to engage employees

 ...How your company's competitive advantage has different culture implications

In the current age of technology disruption, information is constantly changing…

Senior leaders need to make quick decisions to solve problems and create solutions. Leaders tend to rely on business acumen to reach quick answers, but it’s people who move the business forward.  As talent professionals, HR has the opportunity to demonstrate their expertise for coaching people, but sometimes find:

• Influencing a leader to consider a different approach can be challenging

• HR is not valued as a consultative coach to the business

• Business leaders sometimes aren't engaged

To overcome these hurdles watch this month’s lesson on Coaching for Leadership IQ, with Mark Benton the VP of Talent Management & Diversity at McKesson.

With 20 years of experience in communicating with executives, building capabilities that translate into solutions, Mark has developed a successful framework for coaching leaders. By building trust, showing empathy, and approaching conversations from a position...
