| 13 Nov 2023 | HR & AI - with Brandon Stevens | 00:46:07 | |
Lucinda explores the topic of AI in HR with guest Brandon Stevens, founder and CEO of Scouter.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS "You cannot put a Band-Aid on this and truly fix it. Also, simultaneously, any AI that is true AI, machine learning, natural language processing, will not work until this methodology is transformed." "The younger demographic have a different expectation of experience. They come from a much more engaged world. And again, not everyone's the same. But my point is that the demographic challenge, not only are we producing less talent, if you will." "You have to introduce this and get buy-in, obviously, from leadership down to your employees. But in HR, I always start to look at this because simultaneously what this actually does as well is it consolidates your HR tech stack, right?" "Make no mistake, this will be standard procedure within the decade. I think educating yourself around this as a human resource leader is the number one thing you should do, is get a better understanding about what's coming and how to prepare for it."

| 29 Sep 2019 | Practical Interviewing Techniques For HR & Managers With Jo Irwin | 00:42:55 | |
Of course, you want to hire the most talented candidates. Some people believe that having line managers present as part of the interview process could help with finding the best fit for the role. However, know that interviews are more than this. It’s not about who and who isn’t present during the interview. We must think about the actual interview process and the decisions that will be made. In this episode of The HR Uprising Podcast, Lucinda talks to Jo Irwin from i4 Training on how companies can improve their interview process. Interviews are a good introduction for both parties—the interviewer and the interviewee. Therefore it is just as important for the panel to present themselves in a good light as it is for the candidate. In this podcast episode, Jo provides us with some great tips on how to achieve an effective interviewing process, from prepping the interview room to scoring candidates.

ABOUT THE GUEST Andy Salkeld describes himself as living a life of two halves. At least he did until he almost ended them both. Andrew Salkeld is a Chartered Accountant and member of the ICAEW. He trained at PwC specialising in Corporate. Following his move into industry he focused on business intelligence and analytics. Now, after numerous industry positions he is a Finance Director at a Leeds based tech business with ambitions of helping the high-street fight back. Sounds pretty good doesn't it? Sounds like he has it all figured out! But there's two halves to this story. Andy was diagnosed with depression a number of years ago. Following various events, he became suicidal and wanted to end everything. His life now has an almost end. He is medicated and regularly speaks to a therapist. Indeed, he does what he can to survive and now shares his story and experience with people all over the world in the hope that those that might be struggling and are too afraid to talk about it, like he once was, know that they are not alone. Andy first shared his story in Breaking the Stigma and has since gone on to publish it in Life is a Four-Letter Word. Andy describes himself as a geek. He loves board games, pop punk and ska music, enjoys cooking and being creative. He lives with his cat Pika and tries to enjoy life in the present, rather than worrying about the past and the future. Still everything from that first introduction. It just isn't what defines him anymore.

To rate or not to rate, that is the question! Are performance ratings still beneficial to companies? In this episode of The HR Uprising Podcast, Lucinda shares the pros and cons of using performance ratings. There are many things to consider first—the profile of your team, the work environment, and the work culture matter in deciding how you rate a team’s performance. You can’t just base it on another company’s scoresheet. According to Lucinda, performance ratings are necessary if you want to achieve meritocracy. These aren’t just numbers; we should aim that these will have a positive consequence. Therefore, we must also level up on how we converse about the ratings to our team. Lucinda’s got some great advice for you on how you can harness the benefits of having performance ratings, so tune in to learn more. KEY TAKEAWAYS
