With this cycle of price increases and people not getting care, there seems to be a big focus on HDHP to try to keep costs down. How does Paytient help with this transition?

Meaningful Work and HR Trends with Marc-André Nataf, CEO, Cegid North America
00:29:59
Covid-19 accelerated the transformation of the workplace and the role that HR plays in it. The HR department has had to become more strategic since the onset of the pandemic and plays an important role in shaping the New Normal.
This comes with a different mindset, new skills, processes, and models. But at the end of the day, HR is still all about the human factor. That's why says today's guest, you should always keep investing in talent.
Bill's guest this time is Marc-André Nataf, CEO, Cegid North America,a platform designed to help companies better manage candidates, recruiting, training, performance, compensation, career development, and succession.
Questions Include:
Cegid recently acquired Talentsoft. What does that mean for the capabilities, goals and market strategy of Cegid in 2022/23?
You take a pragmatic approach in your recent article called Talent War: It’s Not All About Recruitment. You write “… to retain (high-performing employees), you need to know who they are. Who are the people whose departure would slow down the company's growth and harm its competitiveness? The first thing to do is to ensure that you have reliable data on the performance of each person, in order to go beyond the mere feelings of the managers.” How can leaders and HR departments best analyze and differentiate high performers/high potentials from those that are not adding to the bottom line?
Cegid recently released its HR Trends For 2022 report, In it, it says “While we can’t simply ‘go back’ to a time before the pandemic, it’s time to look back to move forward. What we can do is make the decision to build again, on strong foundations … That’s why our HR Trends for 2022 are based around thr

Candidates and Culture Fit with Dan Hunter, Workzinga
00:31:18
The pandemic gave employees the time to reflect on their relationship with work and frankly, many weren't happy with what they uncovered. This has led to record numbers of resignations in 2021 and 2022 is set to be more of the same.
The Great Resignation has ushered in a massive shift in what people value and what they are willing to tolerate in their work lives.
The key reasons driving the great resignation include a reduction in benefits, a worsening work-life balance, a desire to do more fulfilling work, or a toxic workplace culture.
Our guest today says that the days of matching web keyword searches with resumes and job descriptions are over! Instead, it's all about culture fit. Dan Hunter is founder of Workzinga, a job search and hiring platform emphasizing company culture fit.
Questions For Dan Include:
Tell us about the mission of Navorion LLC’s first venture, Workzinga.
What advice would you offer to employers who want to future-proof their organizations?
What is your greatest source of optimism about the future of work?
It seems like there’s a new headline every day. ‘The Great Resignation’. ‘TheGreat Reconfiguration’. And now the ‘Great Reevaluation’. What are the most important messages leaders need to hear from these headlines? How do the cultures of companies need to evolve?
You published an article on LinkedIn in early February 2022 called ‘What Does it Take For a Job Seeker to Get Noticed?’ Can you share some of your tips in the article that can help job seekers st

Building A Stronger Employer Brand with Terry Baker, Pandologic
00:23:54
It has never been harder to find and engage candidates. So how can your employer brand stand out while keeping your budget in check? When it comes to your recruitment sourcing strategy and finding the right candidate, there are several factors to consider.
Helping Bill Banham to get to the heart of how to mix AI with other approaches to candidate sourcing is Terry Baker, CEO & President at Pandologic, an AI-enabled recruiting platform.
Questions For Terry Include:
The Great Resignation is projected to be with us for a long time. What have employers learned from this experience so far that's helping them prepare for what’s next?
How do you see technology fitting into this narrative? What’s the role AI will play in continuing to help drive outcomes?
What are the risks with fully automated/AI-driven processes? Can great candidates be missed in a process where humans are removed from the early-stage screening process? Can checks be put in place?
One of the biggest challenges facing recruiters today is the sheer number of online job boards that exist. Can you share some stats around job boards (#s of boards, collective reach, engagement rates, etc).
Before one can even get to the candidate sourcing stage of the recruitment process, it's vital to tackle an important task: perfecting the job listing and requirements listed. What tips can you share?
Specificity is good for candidate sourcing, but sometimes an overly specific list of requirements can be just as dissuading to a candidate as a job listing stuffed with vague terms. What's the correct middle ground approach?
Knowing the value data provides, how can we measure success going forward?

Supporting Ukrainian Employees in Crisis with Vladimir Gendelman, Company Folders
00:23:04
What we're witnessing in Eastern Europe at the moment is terrifying and painful. As of today, huge swathes of land in the south, north and east of Ukraine have been invaded. Many predict it's only a matter of days before Putin's troops attempt to occupy the Ukrainian capital of Kiev.
Our guest today reached out to our editorial team a few days ago and we felt it was imperative to get him on the podcast to share his story with you as soon as possible.
Vladimir Gendelman is founder and CEO of Company Folders and an immigrant to the US from Kharkiv, Ukraine.
He employs a team of seven software programmers, graphic designers, and quality assurance engineers in Ukraine. Last week three of them were trapped in Kharkiv, where they were sheltering in windowless rooms in buildings that are shaking from barrages of shelling. Fortunately, they were able to escape. Millions more have not been as lucky.
Vladimir's team was previously based in Donetsk, the epicenter of the uprising in 2014, so, unfortunately, this is not the first time they've dealt with destabilization caused by foreign aggression.
Listen to this discussion Bill Banham had with Vladimir to hear his experiences of leading and supporting a team literally under siege. Hear too, his heartfelt plea to the West to do more to help.

Employee Rewards Trends with Jennifer Strauel, arrivia
00:24:35
Businesses across the US, Canada, UK, and elsewhere are scrambling to increase their workforce as they face historic labor shortages.
As employees' attitudes have changed as a result of the pandemic, they're looking for opportunities that provide more flexibility and value. And because the choice remains firmly with the candidate, this means companies have to change their rewards structures, as well.
In this HRchat episode, we discuss ways that HR teams and leaders can help attract strong candidates and successfully retain workers by offering travel benefits and rewards to go beyond traditional employee perks.
Bill's guest in HRchat 414 is Jennifer Strauel Chief People & Diversity Officer at arrivia, a technology company that works with employer brands and member-based organizations to design unique incentive structures, believes companies should offer benefits that inspire their workforce, using the power of travel to reward.
Questions Include:
Ignoring the labor shortage for a moment, can you paint a picture of the problem facing many employers if their best people are quitting en masse?
What can an attractive employee brand mean to a company's success this year?
Can you share examples of other new/newly popular benefits that are leading to more engaged and loyal employees? What unique benefits or employee programs has arrivia added or enhanced recently?
So arrivia’s travel software platform helps match employees with awesome experiential rewards like cruises, hotels, and tours. Tell me about why travel rewards are more impactful.
Let’s be real, how much does it cost to add benefits like these? What’s the ROI?
“Companies invest heavily in acquiring and retaining new customers. Their customer loyalty programs are significant drivers of growth and revenues. But they often forget to pay the same attention to talent acquisition and retention. If employees are a company's most valuable asset, why aren't they treating them as clients?” Talk about this quote from a recent post on the arrivia blog and how arrivia helps its clients treat employees more like customers.
Many countries appear to be through the worst of Covid. What does the prospect of Covid moving from a pandemic to endemic status in more and more countries mean for travel in 2022?

Can you offer any stats to support the power of online coaching compared to in-person? * When done correctly, how can coaching help to increase employee engagement, create higher levels of productivity, improve job performance and increase retention? * How has the pandemic changed attitudes of employees and leaders to online learning and, more generally, working remotely? * CoachHub aims to develop employees into highly effective, inspiring leaders.

During the Great Resignation, many recruiters are looking for refreshing ways to find new talent. In technology, a field that requires candidates of such particular and refined expertise, the challenge is even more nuanced.
Our guest today is Lauren Waters, Talent Experience Manager, Americas at Xero, accounting software that provides tools for small businesses, accountants, and bookkeepers.
Lauren understands the process of trying to land a job in the tech industry and has first-hand experience of what sticks and what doesn’t.

Mastering the art of phone impressions - Your team stresses the importance of bringing on your energy and enthusiasm when interviewing or networking over the phone. As the interviewer is not able to see a candidate's body language over the phone, it is vital to approach the call with vigor – within reason. It’s also important to balance between being excited and not seeming too desperate. Tell me more.

Candidate Assessments and Pre-Hire Tech with Josh Millet, Criteria
00:25:40
There were 11.3 million job openings in the US at the end of January 2022 – a number that has been surging as an unprecedented proportion of employees leave their companies. The Great Resignation is being driven by a range of factors – from greater labor mobility to rapidly shifting employee demands.
This means companies have to be capable of hiring the right employees quickly and at scale through broadening their talent pools, cutting time-to-hire, and onboarding employees who will improve the company’s culture, increase diversity, and drive productivity.
In an era of high turnover and constantly shifting talent pools, can assessment technologies help to predict long-term talent outcomes or is it a resource only designed for the hiring and onboarding stages?
That's a key question today's guest tries to answer. Listen too, as we consider the challenges faced by larger organizations when competing to attract talent faster is a post-pandemic world of work.
Bill is joined by Josh Millet, Founder and CEO of Criteria, a talent decisions platform on a mission to help companies make objective, evidence-based talent decisions that both reduce bias and drive outcomes.
Josh founded Criteria in 2006 with a vision to create a SaaS-based pre-employment testing service that would make the highest quality employee assessment tools accessible to companies of all sizes.
Criteria helps organizations make objective, evidence-based talent decisions that both reduce bias and drive better outcomes for their teams.
Questions Include:
Much of the help you offer is top-of-funnel - can you talk about the assessments and pre-hire tools you offer?
You also help with talent mobility. What do you do to help with internal movement?
How can assessments cut down on the number of interview stages and speed up time-to-hire?
Criteria has a broad range of assessment and related tools. That includes purchases of an EQ assessment company out of Australia and, recently, a video recruitment platform. EQ - assessment - how reliable? Video recruiting - what more can be gained for virtual face-to-face screening?
Later this year you'll be administering 1 million assessments in a single month and you project 10 million assessments will be conducted by Criteria software in 2022! What kind of data does that offer?

Psychological Safety in the Workplace with Dionn Schaffner, Aurea
00:25:18
DEI is front and center in the corporate world, and for good reason. Highly inclusive companies innovate faster, attract top talent, and, according to Forbes, are more likely to hit their financial targets by up to 120%. Unfortunately, however, too often we see diversity initiatives like hiring diverse applicants turn DEI into performative quotas.
Today's guest says that, by combining remote work with new technologies, companies can turn the tides of their company’s DEI programs to focus more on building inclusive work environments to help all employees feel valued and safe.
Bill Banham is joined by Dionn Schaffner, Chief Diversity Officer of enterprise software company Aurea. Listen as Dionn shares ways she is incorporating DEI into the tech Aurea and its clients use in order to make teams feel more included within their company’s virtual culture. Be it including pronoun distinction in their video conferencing tools or prioritizing accessibility design elements in virtual workplace environments, technology has the ability to foster inclusion and connection.
Questions include:
Why is psychological safety so important in work settings?
What are ways leaders can build psychological safety in their workplace?
Is it always the leadership's responsibility to set the tone for this? Are there things an average employee can do to help their peers feel psychologically safe?
In two mins or less, what results do we see when a workplace is psychologically safe? How does this fit into the broader DEI conversation?

Why HR Leaders are Quitting with Claire Schmidt, AllVoices
00:21:57
In this HRchat episode, we consider findings from a recent survey of HR leaders that suggests HR pros are jumping ship in record numbers.
Bill's guest is Claire Schmidt, CEO and Founder of AllVoices, an employee feedback management platform that helps company leaders ask for, and act on, employee feedback of all kinds through a secure, truly anonymous communication channel. The platform provides real-time insights that help company leadership build and sustain healthy cultures.
Prior to founding AllVoices, Claire served as Vice President of Technology and Innovation at Fox, the Senior Director of Giving at Thrive Market, as well as the Director of Programs at Thorn.
Questions Include:
What has to fundamentally change when it comes to reporting issues in the workplace?
What are the main stages when it comes to reporting workplace issues and harassment?
AllVoices recently released a report called HR and the Great Resignation: Who’s Leaving, Hiring Outlook, and Strategies for Retention. The report surveyed HR leaders to better understand who’s leaving their jobs and why, what their organizations are doing to increase engagement and retention, hiring outlooks and strategies, and how HR leaders themselves are shouldering this weight. Let's run through some of the findings:
Tell us about the data sample. What were the demographics of those surveyed?
48% of HR leaders have seen over 30% of their staff quit in the past year and 28% of employees are leaving because they’ve found a better offer. Just how competitive is it at the moment? How difficult is it to keep one's employees?
$61,000 to $80,000 is how much the majority of HR leaders say it costs to replace an employee. Can you explain the business case for retaining existing talent v. hiring and onboarding new employees?
53% of HR leaders are burned out and 48% of HR leaders are looking for a new job! Why is it such a stressful time for HR pros or are we seeing the result of two long years of

Equitable HR Strategies with Amit Rappaport, CEO at Compete
00:23:41
In this HRchat episode, we consider how the pandemic has affected tech companies and ways we can adjust hiring practices and HR strategies to help attract and retain talent in more equitable ways.
Bill's guest is Amit Rappaport, CEO and co-founder at Compete. Amit is passionate about closing the gender equity pay gap in the technology industry. Amit and the team at Compete are on a mission to even the playing field for women in technology.
Questions Include:
Recently, Compete's data has shown spikes in unique benefits offered to employees outside of the standard salary/bonus structure empowering employees more than ever. Benefits such as mental health, hybrid work, and paternity/maternity are showing positive trends especially as employee motivations shift. We'll get into detail shortly but, at a high level, can you share some trends your team is seeing?
While women make up nearly half of the global workforce, they represent only 26% of I.T. employees. Even when companies can recruit women, they often struggle with retention. What are some of the changes you've seen in the tech industry over the past couple of years to try and counteract this?
Major tech giants in the U.S. are increasing their family leave time. Google just announced 24 weeks of paid leave. Similar companies will likely follow suit. What do you think this says for the tech industry in years to come?
As New York begins the mandatory salary transparency, this sector will be interesting to watch. To see how delivering the correct data might change and mold things better. Will data-driven decision-making change the face of HR? How can companies work towards a more equitable future?
HR departments are struggling to employ anyone at this time. The Covid 19 Pandemic led to a great resignation. Now we are seeing a 'return to work' yet clearly, employees' motivations have evolved from even just a few years ago, and many companies have yet to keep up. What would you say is important for HR to consider when looking to increase family paid leave, or introduce new benefits that fit along the same lines?
What are new hires in tech prepared to do and what pre-pandemic expectations are being rejected/negotiated? For example, are you seeing many new hires agreeing to work from the office but only part-time?
In your opinion, how important is it to have a core group of employees able t

What can a card mean to a colleague? Tell me why are cards expressing a happy birthday/congrats on a promotion/sympathy and other occasions an important gesture?
Your primary competitor is simply physical greeting cards, though you do have some digital competitors too. How do you stand out?
Who do you work with? Where does the HR department fit in?
The Great Resignation: Why is it so essential to do whatever is possible to ensure employee satisfaction and a positive/attractive company culture?

Improving Employee Happiness with Martin Blinder, Tictrac
00:29:25
Bill Banham's guest today is Martin Blinder, Founder and CEO at Tictrac, a leading Digital Health platform that empowers people through their data.
Martin has been named among the 15 most influential in Digital Health, and he's been featured in Wired, NYT, BBC, CNBC, Fortune, Mashable, the Wall Street Journal, and many other media outlets.
How can wellbeing tech like Tictrac help to improve employee happiness and, therefore, productivity levels?
A study by Officevibe found that 70% of employees say that friendship at work is the most important element to a happy work-life, while analysis by Gallup found that employees are 50% more likely to report high social wellness if they have a best friend at work. It is generally considered that there are four pillars of wellness – physical, mental, financial and social. While the first three are often focused on within a work context, the last should not be underestimated. Why does social wellbeing need to become a top concern for employers?
You founded Tictrac back in 2011. The wellbeing market seems to have been growing rapidly over the last few years, from a Tictrac perspective, what are the themes and trends you have been seeing?
Let's talk about the recent announcement of Dialogue and Tictrac coming together through an acquisition. What opportunities does Dialogue's acquisition of Tictrac create, and what additional value will a customer likely see?=
What are your predictions for how the global health and wellbeing space will continue to evolve over the coming few years?
Do you believe employee wellness will remain a top priority for organizations and will digital solutions continue to play a role?

Helping Women Employees Return to the Office with Caroline Dettman, Have Her Back
00:26:16
In HRchat episode 451, we consider what organizations need to know to cultivate a workplace that not only retains women employees but empowers their success.
The pandemic now feels endemic and companies want employees back in the office. Today's guest says that, when it comes to a preference in returning to the office, opinions seem to be directly tied to age.
Bill Banham is joined by Caroline Dettman, Founding Partner at Have Her Back, a DEI consultancy listed among Fast Company’s World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies for 2022.
Caroline and her team recently conducted a Women in the Workplace study to better understand how companies can improve the retention of female employees, at a time when women are leaving their jobs at historic rates. The study overwhelmingly suggested that Gen Z professionals are seeking the in-person workplace for networking, mentorship, and learning opportunities. Alternatively, Boomers, Gen X, and Millennials seem to be thriving in a remote environment due to their level of experience and other commitments.
Listen as Caroline shares her take on the findings plus she offers ways companies can improve their practices to better support different generations of women in the workplace.
You note the difference in hybrid vs flexible - some see that as the same, can you explain the difference and why one can be seen as more beneficial than the other?
The Women in the Workplace study overwhelmingly suggested that Gen Z professionals are seeking the in-person workplace for networking, mentorship, and learning opportunities. Alternatively, Boomers, Gen X, and Millennials seem to be thriving in a remote environment due to their level of experience and other commitments. What do the differences in generational preferences tell us about the new normal when it comes to in-person working?
But Gen Zers are digital natives so can't we replace in-person mentorship/learning/networking with online?
Were these findings surprising to you?
What do you think are the major things that employers need to keep in mind in this new "return to office" e

How to Better Engage Deskless Employees with Amir Nehemia and Yuval Magid, Connecteam
00:25:38
As the world continues to move away from a traditional office environment and toward a hybrid model or deskless/on-demand formats, employers need to find new ways to train and optimize their workforce to foster long-term engagement, motivation, and retention.
In this HRchat episode, we look at this shift and consider tech that can deliver better business results by helping non-desk workers stay informed, connected, and engaged at work.
Bill's guests this time are Amir Nehemia, CEO & Co-Founder and Yuval Magid, Chief Operating Officer at Connecteam, an all-in-one app for deskless workers.
Questions Include:
What are some of the most common misconceptions about the deskless workforce?
What are some of the challenges facing leaders and HR when it comes to managing and, engaging with, non-desk workers? How does it differ to managing and connecting with desk-based workers?
Let's continue to focus on where HR fits in. What data do HR leaders specifically need access to in order to improve their decision-making - on what is and what isn't working on the frontlines of their organization?
How does Connecteam help to improve communication and decision-making with employee-centric datasets and indicators for performance at an organizational level?
Traditionally, little of the $300 billion that is spent on business software each year has gone to deskless workers. How have they been left behind when it comes to modern work technology?
Many deskless worker industries have some of the highest turnover rates. For example, supermarkets and quick-service restaurant workers have 100% turnover each year. How can technology like yours play a role in increasing retention, as well as getting new hires up the productivity curve?
What are some of the benefits of deploying an app for deskless workers? Do you have any examples of the impact your customers have seen after deploying Connecteam?
How can HR leaders leverage tech such as yours to enable deskless employees to perform at their best and achieve tangible results?

00:23:39

Developing Emotional Intelligence with Debbie Muno, Genos North America.
00:27:38
Emotional Intelligence impacts workplace performance, leadership effectiveness, retention, engagement, sales, customer service, resilience, and teamwork - all outcomes that organizations are continually striving to hire for and develop.
It is a measurement of our ability to recognize, respond to, and cope with emotions. While traditional corporate training programs tend to focus on hard skills, teaching employees emotional intelligence is equally important.
A recent report on the subject, published by the Capgemini Research Institute suggested that “it wasn’t only teams and individuals who benefit from developing a greater capacity for emotional intelligence. Research conducted for the report found that, on average, 60% of the surveyed organizations realized significant benefits by having employees who display high EI.”
Thirty-plus years of working, psychometric assessment experience, and a formal EI education led Debbie in 2016 to the role as an Authorized Distributor and Master Trainer for Genos International, in which she works with coaches, consultants and trainers, organizational development specialists, HR professionals, corporate trainers, and business owners – helping them to fill the critical need of advancing emotional intelligence inside of their client companies and organizations.
Questions For Debbie Include:
Genos North America was formed to focus on growing and supporting the presence of Genos, the Certified Genos Emotional Intelligence Practitioner community, and clients in the US and Canada. Tell us more!
Can emotional intelligence be taught/developed?
Does Emotional Intelligence impact wellbeing? If so, how?
Talk about some of the benefits to the bottom line that employees and teams see following the implementation of Genos programs within organizations.
Is EI development just for leaders?
How can emotional intelligence training impact one’s personal life?
More About Debbie Muno
Debbie’s fascination with Emotional Intelligence started long before she even knew that it had a formal name. Working in television, competing in gymnastics, and being a business owner all taught her to address, man

Questions for Luke include:
You work with human resources teams at hundreds of companies every day. What are you seeing in the way of hiring trends right now? What are the biggest common pain points and how are you helping them overcome these challenges?
What are your predictions for the post-pandemic rollout of hybrid work policies?
In a time when it's hard to engage top talent, how does the interview process play into the talent acquisition strategy?
How does the hiring process relate to employer branding and reputation management?
Promoting from within - does Kognitiv do this because achieving culture fit is tough?
A comprehensive funnel can be hugely beneficial for acquiring the best talent to move your team forward. But, can HR technology backfire if not implemented or managed properly?
How do you recommend teams approach this important HR tech infrastructure development to positively impact their talent acquisition strategy moving forward?

Are We Talking Ourselves into a Recession? With David Garrett, Joveo
00:23:52
The U.S. has witnessed unprecedented increases in job openings and, subsequently, a tight labor market. The economy saw a sharp post-Covid recovery last year, however, in recent months, high inflation and ensuing policy tightening has lowered growth forecasts and caused many to expect a fall in the creation of jobs.
Indeed, the economy contracted at an annual rate of 0.9% in the three months to July. Yet July also saw 528,000 new jobs as the unemployment rate fell to 3.5%!
So what's going on? Should we be worried or are things actually looking pretty good for the remainder of this year and 2023?
The US economy has shrunk for the second quarter in a row, a milestone that in many countries would be considered an economic recession. The contraction, at an annual rate of 0.9% in the three months to July, has drawn widespread attention as worries about the economy grow. Should we be worried?
What is a technical recession?
The July 2022 US Jobs report showed Payrolls actually increased by 528,000! How is this potential recession different from previous incarnations
Given there's nothing fundamentally 'wrong' with the US economy, are we 'talking ourselves into a recession'?
How are/should HR pros and leaders prepare for a downturn?
Will some jobs remain in demand even if a recession does hit? If so, which ones?

Questions For Chris Include:
Can you take a few minutes and share some of the conversations you enjoyed at the SHRM annual conference, a few of the talks you attended, and your overall thoughts on the 2022 event?
Can you take some time, run through the upcoming People and Performance Podcast episodes, and offer a preview of what folks can expect this season?
In season 5 of the People and Performance Podcast, we introduced a new question. It's a second question we now ask of all of our guests. It is: Can you share one piece of advice or some direction you were given by a mentor, leader or colleague that inspired you to perform at a higher level in your career? So, Chris, we'd love to hear your answer to this question.
We're looking at a potential recession although that's not by any means certain. If it does happen it will be a unique kind of recession. How do you think the labor market in the US will fair over the next year and will we see budgets cut for hiring, onboarding and career development?
What else is going on at Fidello at the moment? Will you be attending any events you’d like to mention or can we expect any news from your team in the next few months?

We’re in the midst of an unprecedented shift in terms of the labor markets; making talent acquisition and retention both more critical and more complex than at any time in recent memory. What are you seeing organizations doing in response to try and gain an edge or create some stability?

Analytics and AI Leadership Coaches with David Creelman
00:23:39
In this episode, we ask: once we have all our basic analytics in place, how can we continue to improve decision-making? Listen too, as we preview the upcoming AGILITY REIMAGED Summit in beautiful downtown Toronto on Sept 14th
Joining guest host Pauline James on the show is David Creelman, CEO at Creelman Research.

You and I worked together on a project for the European Union IPO division last year, which is responsible for intellectual property like trademarks. They needed to adapt to meet the opportunities AI technology. Can you tell the audience about that project and it matters?

The panel will discuss 'How do People and Culture divisions need to adapt their structure, approach, and services to ensure they are equipped to meet the changing needs of employees and the organization?' Tell our listeners about the panel and some of the hoped-for learning outcomes.
In a recent article on tlnt.com, you write: "It’s probably fair to say that people analytics has finished its hype cycle. Most analytics practitioners have their feet firmly on the ground and are busy improving data quality, dashboards, and the skillsets of HR professionals who use their data... so, the sort of question I’m often asked is "where does people analytics go from here? Or, once we have all our basic analytics in place, how can we continue to improve decision-making?" The answer is to shift from a focus on data to a focus on evidence and to shift from talking about analytics to talking about evidence-based

Making ESG a Part of Your Business Strategy with Scott Lane, Speeki
00:22:20
If you’re a business leader, you’re legally obliged to optimize your strategy and resources to maximize shareholder return. This may lead you to assume that it’s not your responsibility, or in your best interest, to care about the environment, social, and governance issues (ESG).
But, actually, making ESG a part of your business strategy can unlock growth opportunities, reduce costs, and future-proof your brand in the eyes of an increasingly conscious public. Listen to this HRchat episode to learn how!
Our returning guest is Scott Lane, Founder and CEO of Speeki, a group focused on transforming compliance hotlines and other compliance areas using Ai technologies.
Speeki is also a player in compliance certifications and compliance auditing and one of the few bodies accredited by ISO for certifications under the ISO 37001 Anti-Bribery Standard.
Questions Include:
There seems to be lots of dialogue right now about ESG and whether it is a fad or something that will stay around. What do you think?
Is this just for large global companies or is there a place for smaller companies to build ESG?
You recently presented a webinar called Combining a whistleblower program with social listening to generate data. The webinar's goal was to show how to generate real data for one's #ESG and compliance efforts by combining an active #whistleblowing program with a proactive social listening tool. Can you tell me more?
How do most Human Resources teams get involved in ESG?
Does the process typically start with HR or is there a ESG officer?
Where do you think this ESG area will go in the future?
Want to hear more about Speeki? Check out HRchat episode 357, released in late 2021.

Employee Microlearning and Knowledge Reinforcement with Jason Mundy, Qstream
00:23:57
In this HRchat episode, Bill Banham is joined by Jason Mundy, VP of Marketing at Qstream, the leading enterprise microlearning and knowledge reinforcement solution proven by science and in practice to boost learner performance.
Questions Include:
What is microlearning?
Based on the findings from the 2022 Workplace Learning Report, how effective are current workplace learning programs? Where must more work be done to make them more effective and efficient?
How important are workplace learning programs in relation to fighting employee burnout and attracting/retaining talent?
Nearly half of those surveyed in the 2022 Workplace Learning Report say their organization needs a digital-led approach to training/learning opportunities so employees can learn on their own time. Why the resistance from leadership to go digital?
Follow up: How can organizations achieve a digital-led approach to training/learning? What are the benefits of employees training/learning on their own time?
According to Qstream’s study, compensation isn’t everything: nearly half of those surveyed think their employees would rather be offered more comprehensive and effective learning/training opportunities than be paid more. Why do you think that is?
In March and April 2022, Qstream commissioned independent research company ResearchScape to poll 534 U.S. business managers representing a variety of industries and company sizes to better understand the role that learning initiatives will play in combating the current workforce challenges. The survey also sought to uncover the perceived effectiveness of workplace learning programs today—and where more work must be done

So if this gap exists and is crucial to business, what does it take to close the gap? - Do you have any examples?

Wages keep going up. Is this sustainable?
New skills are the top growth competency for recruiters. These skills are focused on DEI, making decisions, and learning how to use an HR strategy. Tell me more about how recruiting has dramatically changed over the past few years. Will an impending recession change hiring practices and the skills companies seek?
One of the big positives of the pandemic was a widening of the talent pool. How does Emp Trust accelerate hiring processes for remote hires with options ranging from the self-registered agent, notary network, leveraging your PAN integration, and scheduling visits to the closest I-9 verification centers? https://emptrust.com/Products/I-9-Remote.html
Despite the widening talent pool, many companies continue to prefer to hire internally. Why is this the case?
