Human Capital Management Meets Wall Street
May 12, 2021 22:19 - 50 minutes - 46.7 MBCompanies have promoted very proudly that “people are their most important asset.” But behind closed doors, they managed human capital as an expense. Recent changes, however, at The Securities and Exchange Commission now say “put up or be shut up!” Public companies are now required to disclose information about “human capital resources.” The lines between old-school workforce management and bottom-line growth are merging. While this new requirement currently only applies to public companies...
Recruitment Crickets? Your Hiring Sucks
May 05, 2021 18:53 - 47 minutes - 43.9 MBIf you’re hearing recruitment crickets, this could be why: your hiring process sucks! The economy is showing signs of a boom. The job market is heating up. The labor market is tight. Wages are rising and time-to-fill rates are rising. And yet, the top talent that companies seek, simply walk away and head straight to the competition. Why? HR and managers aren’t always on the same page. The values and expectations of hiring managers don’t align with the messaging used to attract candidates. On...
Working Women Over 50 Are Not Done Yet!
April 28, 2021 21:14 - 50 minutes - 46.2 MBWorking women have made impressive progress. Just 20 years ago, S&P 500 companies claimed only 2 women among the elite CEO club.

But still, that's only 8 percent of CEOs, while women make up more than half the U.S. population. Women made gains in the C-Suite too but are still outnumbered 17:1. The pandemic took a pronounced toll on women. Some even called ...
What Is Virtual Reality and How Can It Change Our World?
April 22, 2021 00:20 - 49 minutes - 45.8 MBHave you experienced VirtualReality yet? Are you wondering what the big deal is? Are VR and AR just for gamers? How much different would our jobs and education have been if VR and AR were as common as Zoom? Did the pandemic come too soon for virtual reality? How much better could remote work and education have been if AR and VR had become as popular as Zoom? Video conferencing platforms like Zoom literally saved millions of jobs and probably our economy in 2020. But the 2D experi...
Is It Time for Employers to Embrace Side Hustles?
April 14, 2021 21:51 - 50 minutes - 46.4 MBDid you know the average W-2 employee is working 13 hours per week from a side hustle? From the extraordinary growth of workers pursuing side hustles to how people think about their homes and employee activism, the pandemic has altered and accelerated consumer trends … and they will have a long-lasting effect on HR. For example, one of the major findings from Clicksuasion's 2021 Marketing Survey was that 49% of the US population has some kind of Side Hustle. Instead of frowning upon and disc...

Women & Masculinity: Glass Ceilings to Sticky Floors
March 31, 2021 19:50 - 50 minutes - 46.2 MBYou're probably familiar with the glass ceiling? But have you ever heard about the glass cliff, glass escalator, and sticky floor? Dr. Kate Richmond doesn't believe that all men want to oppress women but masculine norms certainly present a strong argument that it's still a man's world. From birth, boys and men are socialized into a strict code that is difficult to break. The result is a workplace where gender inequity, motherhood wage penalties, sexual harassment, discrimination, and unpaid...
The Day Tomorrow Said No, Reboot Your Future
March 24, 2021 21:18 - 50 minutes - 46 MBTomorrow said NO to today sometime in the year 2020.

Love 'Em or Lose 'Em: Getting Good People to Stay
March 18, 2021 16:49 - 50 minutes - 46.7 MBRecruiting top talent is one thing. Getting your best employees to stay is another. But it’s not just about keeping people on your payroll.

Gender Diversity, Recruiting 2021, and the FairyGodBoss
March 10, 2021 22:27 - 50 minutes - 46.4 MBThe case for gender diversity has never been stronger. An overwhelming 98% of organizations in a recent FairyGodBoss survey say diversity hiring is a focus in 2021. That’s a great start but reaching diversity recruiting and hiring goals takes more than good intentions. A Bloomberg revealed how "White and Male Some U.S. Companies Are!" Only 1 company of 100 largest U.S. corporations exceeded the U.S.population in its percentage of Black and Hispanic female executives and managers. Romy Newm...

Reimagining How We Protect Our Digital Data
December 16, 2020 23:41 - 49 minutes - 68.5 MBCybersecurity thought leader Dennis Hill believes our data privacy vulnerabilities lie in the fact that companies store our data on centralized computers.
