I’m convinced Lars Schmidt and I are kindred spirits, just look at the skateboards hanging on our walls!

Lars’ brand new book “Redefining HR” has made a HUGE splash in this industry and is getting rave reviews online. In fact, his book is #1 New Release on Amazon in Human Resources. It is jam packed with practical and real world experiences to help all HR practitioners and their organizations grow.

In this episode we explore the deep need to redefine HR starting today in order to adapt to the current challenges that companies are facing. He reminds us that disruption is not just an event we can recover from and go back to normal, but a new path that will lead us to improved efficiency and wellness in the workplace…however painful it may be in this moment.

Kevin Grossman is the President of Talent Board HR, a non-profit organization focused on the elevation and promotion of a quality candidate experience.

Kevin shares a story of how he got into the HR recruiting space by having a bad experience working with a potential employer and how it led to creating better experiences to recruit top talent. “It’s important to be wooed by the company. The experience starts even before day 1” Kevin sees the future of recruiting and is lengthening his stride towards it.

Pre-COVID, we had the lowest unemployment in decades, we were only measuring talent in a growth market and talent resentment was on the rise. In the now of work, the numbers fell off a cliff and millions of people are out of work. Kevin views it as a chance to reset and rebuild a better employer brand and experience for candidates.

Thanks for a great episode Kevin!

“Now is the BEST time to be a human…ever.”

This was my favorite quote from my podcast episode with Jill Katz, wow, we had synergy! Jill has such a shining personality that I had such a great time just listening to her, but she also brought the thunder when it comes to elevating #employeeexperience.

She taught me about the 5 Cs of change and how to embrace the new world of #digitalworkexperience, we talked about our losses in 2020 and how to move forward, and reminded us all that it’s not where your feet of butt are that matter! It’s about what you bring and how you bring it everyday.

As the final podcast episode of the year, I couldn’t have thought of a better person to bring such joy and hope to our listeners, Jill, thanks again for your brilliant spirit.

All the way from Dublin, Ireland, I was privileged to have on the show, Johnny Campbell, Co-founder and CEO of Socialtalent, THE hiring skills platform.

Johnny challenged us to think differently about how to move forward in the new future of work and thrive in the digital landscape. His insights can help organizations reach new heights and to not be afraid of change.

At one point I asked him about multi-tasking as we work from home and he said, “I don’t believe in multi-tasking.” It was a great reminder that it is important to slow down and focus on the task at hand.

As challenging and heartbreaking as the pandemic has been, it has also offered today’s workforce a chance to evolve and become better than ever. History is being written and we get to be a part of it!

Thanks again Johnny for delighting us with your presence and we’ll look forward to seeing you on future episodes.
