TalentCulture #WorkTrends

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, April 8, 2015, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). Last week we talked about the predictive power HR can bring, and this week we're going to talk about the adoption of social software for workforce collaboration and communication. Social software today enables workforce collaboration and communication. The McKinsey Global Institute estimates productivity improves by 20-25% in organizations with connected employees, and the potential for revenue amounts to $1.3 trillion per year. But the adoption of internal social media will require a strategic change management initiative to move away from email that still dominates the enterprise today. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we talk about the adoption of social software for workforce collaboration and communication with this week's guest: Shel Holtz, Principal of Holtz Communication + Technology and a prolific blogger and co-host of the first and longest-running communications podcast, For Immediate Release.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, April 1, 2015, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). Last week we talked about the realities of the Ideal HR-vendor relationship, and this week we're going to talk about the predictive power HR can bring (we're proud sponsors of the Predictive Analytics World for Workforce). In a global market where the recruiters spend seconds reviewing resumes, it's no wonder the "gut feel in hiring" is less accurate than a coin flip. Enter predictive analytics: the ability to take what happened in the past and find common relationships and factors (leveraging human behavior and neural networks) to model and predict the future and report back in analytics with recommendations for the future. Departments like Finance, Sales and Marketing are already using predictive analytics. Now it's HR's turn. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we talk about the predictive power HR can bring with this week's guests: Chad W. Harness, VP of Lead Human Capital Analytics Consultant at Fifth Third Bank; and Jen Phillips Kirkwood, ADP Analytics and Innovation Ambassador.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, March 25, 2015, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). Last week we talked about how research and relationship building win in tech recruiting, and this week we're going to talk about the realities of the Ideal HR-vendor relationship. According to new KeyInterval Research, a practitioner centric market research firm founded by William Tincup and John Sumser, HR Department increasingly looks like a purchasing department with a specific set of subject matter expertise. HR is also getting increasingly good at managing vendors and other relationships that cause work to be done by people who are not direct members of the HR Team (employees). However, per Key Interval Research, only a tiny fraction of vendor-practitioner relationships produce extraordinary levels of excellence and return. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we realities of the Ideal HR-vendor relationship with this week's guests: William Tincup and John Sumser, long-time HR and recruiting industry luminaries and the founders of KeyInternal Research, a practitioner centric market research firm.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, March 18, 2015, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). Last week, we talked about email productivity and a new way to work, and this week we're going to talk about how research and relationship building win in tech recruiting. The competition for top tech talent is fierce, employers must still find creative ways to entice people with in-demand STEM skills to join their company -- getting to know who they're targeting is critical prior to and especially during outreach. According to Dice's recent Tech Candidate Sentiment Survey, at least 50% of candidate respondents said that they wish recruiters would do more research on them and their background before calling, but this is significantly down from 2013. The right online research tool combined with continuous relationship building and developing a repository for a ready pool of tech candidates, companies can competitively source the most qualified people when the time is right. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn about how research and relationship-building win in tech recruiting with this week's guests: Ashley Fox, Program Associate at Partnership for Public Service; and Pete Radloff, Lead Technical Recruiter with comScore.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, March 11, 2015, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). Last week we talked about the six steps to building a remarkable workplace, and this week we're going to talk about email productivity and a new way to work. Really. Email productivity. We know, we know -- sounds like a contradiction, but it's not. Email as we know it today is outdated and was invented before "Internet" was a household name. Instead of our managing email -- which really manages us -- what we need is a better way to communicate that focuses on deeper engagement and better outcomes. Social tools, and mobile and cloud technologies have significantly changed the expectations of consumers about online communications, social interaction and other collaboration tools. When it comes to the technology we use, we want our work experiences to echo our personal lives, while our organizations want tools with company-wide security and scalability. It's time for email to act more like a personal assistant. That's something the world of work needs today. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn about email productivity and a new way to work with this week's guest: Carolyn Pampino, Design Director of Collaboration Solutions for IBM.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, March 4, 2015, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). Last week we talked about the three elements of a clear and compelling business vision, and this week we're going to talk about the six steps to building a remarkable workplace. Nice segue, don't you think? It's the people that guide and propel the workplace, right? If it were only so easy. From this week's guest's experience opening a shop a month as part of her organization's UK start-up, she found that 20% of strategies lead to 80% of retention and profit and none of them are vague platitudes like "be nice to your people." No, they are all practical, immediately applicable, step-by-step processes, and we'll tackle all six tonight on the show. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn about about the six steps to building a remarkable workplace with this week's guest: Mandy Johnson, best-selling business author, active speaker, advisor and executive educator.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, February 25, 2015, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). Last week we talked about how 2015 will be the best year for recruiting since 1999, and this week we're going to talk about the three elements of a clear and compelling business vision. Developing business vision and strategy are difficult to execute. Most leaders default to actions steps and tactical plans and spend most of their time here. Even if they invest up front to create the vision, sustainable investment is short-lived. Plus, less than 10% of the organizations she's visited are led by managers who have a clear sense of where they are trying to lead people. What to do? For a business vision to be compelling and provide ongoing guidance, it must illuminate all three elements of a compelling vision including purpose (or mission), values, and a clear picture of a desirable future. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn about the three elements of a clear and compelling business vision with this week's guest: Dr. Jesse Lyn Stoner, Founder of Seapoint Center for Collaborative Leadership and co-author of the bestseller Full Steam Ahead: Unleash the Power of Vision.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, February 18, 2015, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). Last week we talked about how to become workplace fascinating, and this week we're going to talk about how 2015 will be the best year for recruiting since 1999. Consider this: more jobs were created in 2014 than in any other year since 1999. According to a recent New York Times article, employers have hired more than one million people since November 1, 2014. However, it's not all "Happy New Year" champagne and caviar; there is still an end-of-times dirge bemoaning that upwards of 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed. Either way, company culture and transparent relationships will be the primary drivers for successfully recruiting and retaining employees in 2015. The talent acquisition teams that get this will facilitate winning. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn about how 2015 will be the best year for recruiting since 1999 with this week's guest: Will Thomson, Global Sales Recruiter for Rosetta Stone and the Founder of Bulls Eye Recruiting.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, February 11, 2015, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). Last week we talked about whether or not HR should be split into two branches, and this week we're going to talk about how to become workplace fascinating. Of course there are plenty of personality assessments tell you how you see the world. But how does the world see you? What makes you most fascinating, and most valuable to the people around you? You're all about to find out. Over the past two decades of research on communication, this week's guest has found that there are seven different ways to communicate and add value to your "audience." We've taken "The Fascination Advantage" here at the TalentCulture #TChat Show. It's pretty awesome. And we'll give you the opportunity to take it as well! Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn about how to become workplace fascinating with this week's guest: Sally Hogshead, creator of The Fascination Advantage™: the world's first personality test that measures what makes someone most engaging to others.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, February 4, 2015, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). Last week we talked about how authentic storytelling in the workplace impacts talent strategies, and this week we're going to talk about whether or not HR in the enterprise should be split into two branches. In fact, one of the hottest topics being discussed at the C-suite level is whether HR should be split into two distinct functions – one that handles administration and one that manages leadership and organization. Research by Bersin by Deloitte supports the recommendation because HR is swamped with administrative tasks. In fact, nearly 50 percent of business and HR leaders surveyed said their companies are "weak" on preparing HR to deliver programs aligned with business needs. The right technology enables HR to scale certain tasks in a way that humans never can, bringing efficiencies to a complex administrative process that can't be achieved otherwise. HR needs to leverage this ability, so it can fulfill a critical role in the organization's business strategy. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn about whether HR should be split into two distinct functions with this week's guest: Todd Owens, Chief Executive Officer at TalentWise.
