TalentCulture #WorkTrends

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, March 5, 2014. #TChat Radio starts at 6:30 pm ET (3:30 pm PT) and the convo continues on #TChat Twitter chat from 7-8 pm ET. Last week we talked about the Year of the Employee, and this week we're talking about disrupting the HR profession. DisruptHR is a new movement that is taking a non-traditional look at the HR profession, combining the best of TED talks and Ignite talks. HR can and does express divergent opinions on many facets of the human resources field. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about disrupting HR with this week's guest: Jennifer McClure, President of Unbridled Talent LLC, and co-founder of DisruptHR. A special thank you to our sponsors: RIVS, Virgin Pulse, Dice, and TalentWise.

Join us each week as experts help us explore issues shaping the world of work. The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, February 26, 2014. #TChat Radio starts at 6:30 pm ET (3:30 pm PT) and the convo continues on #TChat Twitter chat from 7-8 pm ET. Last week we talked about improving the quality of hire via reference checks and better interviewing, and this week we're talking about the "Year of the Employee." Quite appropriate and not a moment too soon. As we learned last week, Virgin Pulse's survey showed that most employees either "love" or feel "pretty good" about their company because it's a great place to work — but only a quarter of them say they feel love in return. However, according to this week's guest, companies in 2014 will focus on the top priorities of retention, engagement, and "attraction of talent," for the first time in nearly a decade. Plus, more than 60% of organizations say dealing with "the overwhelmed employee" is the biggest. Time for talent to take the power back! Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about the year of talent with this week's guest: Josh Bersin, Founder and Principal at Bersin by Deloitte, leading provider of research-based membership programs in human resources (HR), talent and learning.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, February 19, 2014. #TChat Radio starts at 6:30 pm ET (3:30 pm PT) and the convo continues on #TChat Twitter chat from 7-8 pm ET. Last week we talked about celebrated Valentine's Day the "world of work" way, and this week we're talking improved quality of hire via the threat of reference checks. The holy grail of hiring are the high performers organizations so long to find, recruit and retain forever and ever. The happy "A players" who create and add to your culture and improve the business bottom line. While rigorous screening techniques and assessments are in the midst of a renaissance, multiple interviewers and the threat of real-time reference checks can and are still powerful screeners. Yes, there are legally only a few "name, rank and serial number" questions potential employers can ask, but according to this week's guest, reference checks are still a powerful "truth serum." Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about the power of reference calls with this week's guests: Chris Mursau, Vice President at Topgrading, and Jean Lynn Director of HR at Home Instead Senior Care.

Last week we talked about finding your core genius, and this week we're celebrating Valentine's Day the "world of work" way. Yes, the figurative and hopefully perpetual Valentine's Day at work — employers loving their employees so they'll love them back. Showing employees a little love goes a long way. Really.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, February 5, 2014. #TChat Radio starts at 6:30 pm ET (3:30 pm PT) and the convo continues on #TChat Twitter chat from 7-8 pm ET. Last week we talked about pervasive technology and why recruiters need to be in the tech know, and this week we're discussing job satisfaction and career aspirations. We hear a lot in the world of work about finding your passion and being happy with what you do, but what is the reality of this sometimes super surreality? Quite real according to this week's guest. In fact, finding your core genius is a soul searching endeavor that includes self-reflection and prioritization of what's most important to you and then brainstorming career possibilities that match those elements. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about how to find your core with this week's guests: Maggie Mistal, who CNN dubbed one of the nation's best known career coaches, and one of her clients, Laura Rolands, a former Human Resources Executive for Chrysler and now an attention coach (thanks to Maggie).

Last week we talked about the Best 100, and this week we're going to discuss pervasive technology and why recruiters (all of us actually) need to constantly be in the "world of work know." The fact is, IT is not just about legacy mainframes and system administration of old -- it encompasses diverse range including the consumerization of everything we touch. And if you're part of the tech movement, according to a recent Dice Report, hiring is on the rise. If you're a recruiter sourcing and hiring tech folks, you need to stayed "skilled up" as well to keep the competitive edge. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about pervasive technology trends and recruiting with this week's guests: Shravan Goli, President of Dice, and Sara Fleischman, Senior Technical Recruiter at Concur Technologies.

There are several new companies as well as many repeats with big growth. But one thing continues to be clear — being a great workplace is the best employer branding strategy.

Last week we talked about why their companies need a committed "culture makeover" in 2014, and this week we're talking virtual workplace trends. The fact is, the rise of global networks and mobile technology now makes it possible to build a distributed workforce today -- anywhere, anytime, easily and cost-effectively while improving productivity and engagement. According to Bersin by Deloitte, Telus, one of the largest telecommunications companies in Canada, has "increased its employee engagement from 53 percent three years ago to 83 percent today" because more than 60 percent of Telus's 40,000 employees now work from home and have a supportive infrastructure that empowers getting work done.

Join us each week as experts help us explore issues shaping the world of work. Happy New Year! The TalentCulture #TChat weekly show is back live on Wednesday, January 8, 2014. #TChat Radio starts at 6:30 pm ET (3:30 pm PT) and then we continue the conversation on the #TChat Twitter chat from 7-8 pm ET. During our last #TChat of 2013, we talked about emotional intelligence, and this week we're going to discuss why business leadership struggles to retain key people and why their companies need a committed "culture makeover" in 2014. Workplace research continues to validate that employees who work in a "culture" that challenges, values and rewards them, are more emotionally committed their work, their colleagues and their companies, and rarely do they leave. They perform at much higher levels across the board and it's a reciprocal win for everyone. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about managing sound leadership and culture committment with this week's guest: Mike Myatt, CEO at N2growth, Forbes Leadership Columnist, and Senior Fellow at Gordian Institute.

Join us each week as experts help us explore issues shaping the world of work! The TalentCulture #TChat weekly show is back live on Wednesday, December 18, 2013. #TChat Radio will start at 6:30 pm ET (3:30 pm PT), and immediately after, our entire community will continue the conversation on #TChat Twitter from 7-8 pm ET. Last week we talked about the candidate experience, and this week we're going to discuss your emotional experiences - and how they affect everything you do in the world of work. Just over three years ago the first ever #TChat was about emotional intelligence, an important subject for most #TChat-ters. According to this week's guest, emotions drive our behaviors and performance, which makes or breaks our leadership. Usually we operate at high performance about 83 percent of the time — but it's the other 17 percent where emotions run high, and that's where our reputations are built. Emotional self-management is critical to personal influence, impact and inspiration, even for the naysayers this time of the year. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about managing our emotions at work and at play: Steve Gutzler, President of Leadership Quest, a Seattle-based leadership development company. This will be another informative "world of work" show and the last one before the New Year. Join us!
