TalentCulture #WorkTrends

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, October 28, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about why recruitment should be transparent marketing, and this week we're going to talk about how hiring managers can reduce the cost of hiring. In an increasingly competitive hiring environment, hiring managers must improve their engagement and performance with recruited and candidates alike in order to hire and retain top talent. But all too often, this is far from ideal, and they unfortunately fail to do this effectively. The importance is crucial to hiring success and reducing the cost of hiring. Overall, a high percentage of mature talent acquisition functions report that they have high-performing relationships with hiring managers. With these relationships, a company's ability to hire qualified individuals efficiently and cost-effectively and meet today's business needs and tomorrow's challenges will excel and save potentially millions per year. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as they talk about how hiring managers can reduce the cost of hiring with this week's guest: Nikos Moraitakis, CEO of Workable, a technology startup reinventing hiring for ambitious companies.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, October 21, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about the three steps to selecting the right HR technology, and this week we're going to talk about why recruitment should be transparent marketing. Today's hiring economy is highly complex and competitive and finding top talent is harder than ever. If fact, attracting candidates and retaining current employees is a lot like attracting and retaining customers. Candidates want to be valued and have an engaging and transparent experience and how you treat them has a direct impact on your brand. In today's digital age, where people share experiences online, a poor candidate experience can be bad for business and translate to millions in lost revenue annually. The fact is – we are all job seekers and perpetual candidates – even if we're currently happily employed. Today's job seeker wants career development opportunities, a great company culture, and a positive experience — which is why transparent marketing is so critical. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as they talk about why recruitment should be transparent marketing with this week's guests: Susan Vitale, Chief Marketing Officer at iCIMS; Lori Sylvia, Chief Marketing Officer at SmashFly; and Michele Ellner, Director of Marketing at Montage.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, October 14, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about sourcing candidates in a way the increases retention, and this week we're going to talk about the three steps to selecting the right HR technology. Selecting the right HR technology can be a daunting task, whether it's a new solution or a replacement system. So many things have to be considered in this complex ecosystem relationship — cloud computing, best of breed and integrated HR and talent acquisition and management systems, and more. On the eye of the 2015 HR Technology Conference & Exposition, we want to share three selection steps to consider. First, outline your problem and goals — what are the problems with your talent strategy today and what are your goals for tomorrow? Second, research your solutions — now that you've documented your primary talent strategy problems and goals, it's time to find the right solution that will enable you to recruiting, hire, develop and retain the very best talent. Third, build the business case — the final step in this process is to create the business case for buying and/or replacing the right HR technology for your organization. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as they talk about the three steps to selecting the right HR technology with this week's guest: Mary Delaney, President, Recruitment Software Solutions at CareerBuilder.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, October 7, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about the neuroscience of what keeps leaders up at night, and this week we're going to talk about why sourcing referrals can improve retention. Predicting new employee tenure is about as easy as predicting the weather, even with various data inputs and powerful algorithms we have today. Most people these days stay in their jobs only about 3-5 years. But one thing is clear: referrals can and do have an impact on employee retention. If an employee is satisfied at work, whose performance is consistent, and of course is rewarded fairly, then he or she is much more likely to suggest referrals. They become a brand advocate. And if these referrals have a similar experience to those who referred them, they will in turn potentially last a little longer and make referrals themselves. In fact, even candidates that don't get hired will make referrals if their experience is a good one. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as they talk about why sourcing referrals can improve retention with this week's guests: Jessica Miller-Merrell, SPHR, President/CEO of Xceptional HR, author, speaker, HR professional, and workplace social media expert; and John Sumser, Principal Analyst at KeyInterval Research and editor at HRExaminer.com.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about workplace trends through the eyes of Millennials, and this week we're going to talk about the neuroscience of what keeps leaders up at night. Leadership has two common derailers: one is being too busy to win and the other is being too proud to see. The former looks at the psychology and neuroscience behind being overwhelmed due to constant connection. There's definitely a link between this and the impact it has on our productivity, performance, focus and general state of being. The latter deals with the psychology and neuroscience behind change in the workplace. As humans we are wired to resist change at all costs (our brains are literally designed to fight it). Understanding the human side of change and our innate biases can help all of us move through change more effectively and efficiently. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as they talk about the neuroscience of what keeps leaders up at night with this week's guest: Dr. Nicole Lipkin, sought-after speaker and business psychologist and author of What Keeps Leaders Up at Night and Y in the Workplace: Managing the "Me First" Generation.

Last week we talked about candidate experience through the eyes of the job seeker, and this week we're going to talk about workplace trends through the eyes of Millennials. These kids today with their mobile devices and instant communication and need for continuous feedback and the job hopping — the fact is, there are a lot of misconceptions about how the Digital Generation works, and what motivates them to perform. PeopleFluent, an HCM technology company, has just produced and published its first proprietary research project on millennials. It highlights millennial workplace trends and how managers can use this information to better recruit, hire, engage and motivate the now majority of the workforce. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as they talk about workplace trends through the eyes of Millennials with this week's guest: Frank Moreno, Vice President of Product Marketing at PeopleFluent, the leading total workforce HCM technology company.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, September 16, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about why compliance is a complex HR necessity, and this week we're going to talk about candidate experience through the eyes of the job seeker. The process of looking for a new job is very personal. It often starts with a moment—the realization it's time to move on, a supervisor pushing someone's buttons, a life-changing event. At that time, the first instinct of today's mobile-first, digitally-savvy workforce is to pull out their device and start the search. Is your organization ready to seize that moment? Most aren't, and there's a growing disconnect between how candidates find and connect with companies online. Career sites represent the largest source of hire, and yet too many recruiting leaders overlook that. To truly understand what drives candidate behavior on the Web, you need to see the experience through the eyes of job seekers. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as they talk about candidate experience through the eyes of the job seeker with this week's guests: Joe Essenfeld, Founder and CEO of Jibe; and Ivan Casanova, SVP of Marketing and Product at Jibe. Jibe helps companies create a consumer-level experience every time a candidate interacts with your brand. Thank you to all our TalentCulture sponsors, partners and supporters!

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, September 9, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about the upcoming HR Technology Conference and Exposition, and this week we're going to talk about why compliance is a complex HR necessity. Most companies want and need to scale over time to be successful. They need to sustain that growth and they'll need the right talent to do it. That means the ideal goal for HR in any organization is building the best performing teams and finding the greatest talent. But that doesn't come easy – HR can't focus on talent acquisition and management unless compliance is addressed. Compliance is a necessity that HR cannot ignore, but it's increasingly complex, both in our own country and even more so as you enter the global market and have to deal with regulations from other parts of the world. HR technology providers need to be partners in compliance for HR because it can help reduce risk and give them more time to focus on what matters most in their organization. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as they talk about why compliance is a complex HR necessity with this week's guest: Todd Owens, CEO of TalentWise, a technology company that has completely transformed one of the most critical tasks that every company depends upon for success – hiring new employees.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, September 2, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about the how to recognize and stop workplace bullying and harassment, and this week we're going to talk about the hot HR technology trends of 2015 and the upcoming HR Technology Conference and Exposition. It's that time again to cover the trends and current innovation in HR Technology, why they're important, how HR and technology intersect inside modern organizations today and tomorrow. Cloud computing, HR data management, talent analytics and best of breed and integrated HR and talent acquisition and management systems continue to be hot trends in the HR tech space. How they can be leveraged in organizations regardless of size and strategies to make the best choices and investments in HR Tech are at the top of mind for inquiring companies. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as they talk about the hot HR technology trends of 2015 with this week's guest: Steve Boese, co-chair of Human Resource Executive's HR Technology® Conference and a technology editor for LRP Publications.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, August 26, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about why multi-generational leadership activism is in, and this week we're going to talk about how to recognize and stop workplace bullying and harassment. You may have read the Amazon news recently about their toxic workplace culture. While not new news, the unfortunate fact is there are too many other "bullying" and undermining cultures in business today. Like pollution, workplace bullying and harassment does not usually kill you right away, but an enormous amount of misery is caused — and time wasted — because of unkind words and behavior that cause hurt feelings that take a toll on workplace productivity and relative happiness. All of us can take leadership roles in helping prevent and stop harmful behavior by example, create clear boundaries about what is and is not acceptable, and a plan for upholding these boundaries. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as they talk about how to recognize and stop workplace bullying and harassment with this week's guest: Irene van der Zande, Executive Director and Founder of Kidpower Teenpower Fullpower International, a global nonprofit leader dedicated to teaching emotional and physical safety skills for people of all ages and abilities.
