TalentCulture #WorkTrends

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, August 19, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about how social networking and the job search pay off, and this week we're going to talk about why multi-generational leadership activism is in. Regardless of pop culture wisdom, every generation wants to change the world, and Millennials are no exception. But every new generation's flaws are also stereotyped and criticized by the mainstream media, to the point where it's non-productive. What if these very criticisms were the foundation for refreshing new leadership? The good news is they can be, if mentored and nurtured accordingly. In fact, this isn't the age to just mentor Millennials. We can learn better ways to grow our own talent and leadership skills from different generations. Engagement is out. Activism is in. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as they talk about why multi-generational leadership activism is in with this week's guests: Jon Mertz, thought leader, author and a Leader to Watch in 2015 by the American Management Association; and Danny Rubin, Millennial communications expert and author. Thank you to all our TalentCulture sponsors, partners and supporters!

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, August 12, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about how employers can help bridge the great debt divide, and this week we're going to talk about how social networking and the job search pay off. The power of social networking and social media is well known these days. It can be an amazing boon for your career development, but used unwisely can ruin you forever. Managing your online profile and persona consistently and accurately is where it all starts. Those organizations searching you and your "brand" out and reviewing who you are will be looking for anomalies that don't add up — and you want to always have everything add up — even if you're not looking for a job. Social networking isn't a quick fix for managing your career. You need to be thoughtful about your brand and your point of view and nurture every single day for it to pay off. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as they talk about how social networking and the job search pay off with this week's guests: Robin Schooling, accomplished HR Leader, strategist and advisor; and our very own Cyndy Trivella, marketing manager for SmartSearch applicant tracking systems and events & accounts manager at TalentCulture. Thank you to all our TalentCulture sponsors, partners and supporters!

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, August 5, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about why recruiting is a legitimate career choice, and this week we're going to talk about how employers can help bridge the great debt divide. It's nearly official — the fact that Millennials make up the majority of the workforce. But with all the possibilities ahead for empowering a better workforce, the future is bleak because of the burden of student loan debt and rising healthcare costs. They've reached crisis proportions and they're having a profound impact on the nation's workers and employers. It's a critical issue today with not only younger generations being able to save for the future, but many Gen Xers and Baby Boomers also feel these financial pains and bear the brunt of lingering student debt. Employers need to offer employees assistance with these issues is greater than ever, especially if they hope to recruit and retain key talent, reduce costly turnover and make up the ground they're losing due to the impact of their student debt and the healthcare reform on their medical benefits. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as they talk about how employers can help bridge the great debt divide with this week's guest: Dan Macklin, co-founder and vice president of SoFi, the nation's second largest marketplace lender.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, July 29, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about how HR drives positive workforce impact with the right data insights, and this week we're going to talk about why recruiting is a legitimate career choice. Recruiting has mostly been the accidental career choice. Professionals from varied backgrounds but with a unifying theme of marketing, sales and investigative technical savvy are the ones who've fallen into being recruiters and sourcers. However, unlike HR, formal education is still lacking for recruiters and sourcers. It's largely ignored and dismissed by academia, and yet there's a growing need for comprehensive corporate recruitment training programs. Recruiting is and should be a legitimate career choice and today there are organizations like the Sourcing Institute Foundation driving that change. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as they talk about why recruiting is a legitimate career choice with this week's guest: Shally Steckerl, founder of the Sourcing Institute Foundation and a pioneer in talent sourcing and recruiting.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, July 22, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about how to build and market your employer brand, and this week we're going to talk about how HR drives positive workforce impact with the right data insights. Carpe Diem HR! Time to seize the business day! HR has more momentum and presence in driving technology decisions than we have seen in years past. So how do we seize the day and innovation to make it impactful to our organizations and workplace? First HR has to understand the business and the metrics that drive competitive advantage. Across the HCM ecosystem, the right data is key. Asking the business to make decisions based on data insights can be scary if HR doesn't understand the relevance and credibility of the data. Join us and learn what data empowers HR to drive tech innovation towards a positive workforce impact. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as they talk about how HR drives positive workforce impact with the right data insights with this week's guest: Marc Rind, VP of Product Development & Chief Data Scientist of ADP Analytics and Big Data.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, July 15, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about how to create a culture that rocks, and this week we're going to talk about how to build and market your employer brand. No matter how you slice it, it's really a lesson on research and positioning and how you end up marketing your company as the place to work. However, you can't be everything to everyone and too many companies are trying to be just that. No matter how "great" you think your company is, the "greatness" message won't weed out the people who aren't a great fit for your company. So first you should ask your current employees about what your company does well as an employer, and all of the things that it doesn't do well. Then build a real employer brand foundation so you can better extend that brand in the market. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as they talk about how to build and market your employer brand with this week's guest: Susan LaMotte, SPHR, founder of exaqueo, a workforce consultancy.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, July 8, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about the brilliant HR profession of today and tomorrow live from #SHRM15, and this week we're going to talk about how to create a culture that rocks. Because for those cultures about to rock, we'll not only salute you, we'll work for you and evangelize for you. Of course that's a reference to a classic rock song, but it's a mantra that continues to ring true when it comes to workplace culture today. Great "bands" and brands focus on culture first and foremost so it will drive engagement, business outcomes and ultimately success. As our guest this week puts it — culture is only as strong or weak as the employees that collectively make up the heart and soul of the organization. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we talk about the art of candidate engagement with this week's guest: Jim Knight, a leading training and development expert who worked with Hard Rock International for 20 years where he led the renowned School Of Hard Rocks.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, June 17, 2015, at its new time from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about the art of candidate engagement, and this week we're going to talk about how employee engagement empowers the employer brand. Spending ridiculous amounts of money to source sought-after skill sets and recruit top won't get you very far when your employer brand has hit the skids. Meaning, if your current employees aren't usually happy, even jazzed about working for your company, then that poison seeps into the groundwater and taints the wells around for miles and miles. This is why you must step up your branding game and empower your own employees to evangelize your company culture in an authentic, transparent way. Energizing your employee base to truly engage, tell their stories, share their experiences and engage with potential employees is what empowers the brand. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we talk about the art of candidate engagement with this week's guest: Stacy Zapar, Founder of Tenfold, and recruiting strategist, trainer & advisor.
