Unsurprisingly, the changing labour market is a hot topic at the moment. In the last episode of the show, we discussed a shifting emphasis towards developing an extended workforce that is task-focused rather than focusing on headcount.

Show notes

We have been talking about the rise of the gig economy for several years now but perhaps not properly considering its full implications. The labour market is now reshaping itself rapidly, and there are clear signs that many employers are looking at developing an extended workforce that is task-focused rather than focusing on headcount. The impacts for talent acquisition, talent management and employer branding are significant, and the role of technology will be crucial.

My guest this week is Jens Audenaert Division Vice President / General Manager for WorkMarket at ADP. ADP has been doing a considerable amount of research into the nuances of the extended workforce, and Jens has some valuable insights to share

One of the topics we were talking about back in March was what effect the pandemic would have on the way employers have to think about employer brand.

Ep 287 - Belonging & Inclusion Jul 29, 2020

Show notes

A global pandemic, economic dislocation and Black Lives Matter: three signs of how life is undergoing rapid change in 2020, and all of them are having a significant impact on what people are looking for in an employer.

One of the key aspects of navigating these changes successfully is helping people to feel part of their organisations. But not everyone feels like they belong. For example, the nonprofit Center for Talent Innovation has found that White men have the highest median belonging scores of any gender or racial group, but Black and Asian women score the lowest.

My guest this week is Ritu Mohanka, Head of Strategy & Business Development EMEA at Glint. Glint has just released results from 900,000 of its customers' employees, showing the sense of 'belonging' in a company is more closely linked to employee happiness than ever before. In our conversation, we talk about the challenges around belonging and identify practical ways employers can create a proper platform for genuine inclusivity.

In the interview, we discuss:

Ritu's story and her recent inclusion on the 2020 EMpower 100 Ethnic Minority Executives list
The effect the pandemic is having on employee's sense of belonging.
The relationship between belonging, performance and productivity
Why culture is more important than ever
Inclusivity and being heard
Creating a safe space for uncomfortable conversations
Active listening and being heard
Empowering managers with high quality and timely data
What does the future look like in terms of belonging and inclusion

Ep 286: Robotic Process Automation Jul 23, 2020

Show notes

The events of 2020 are accelerating recruiting automation at a pace none of us could have previously predicted. One of the problems with the current approaches to automation in talent acquisition is that things tend to be vendor lead, and finding a vendor who fully aligned to all of your needs can be a challenge.

In Episode 283, I discussed the importance of building a strategy for automation and having a helicopter view of all of the elements. However, it is only possible for TA Leaders to take that helicopter view if they have an understanding of the critical building blocks of automation.

My guest this week is Leigh Pullen, Co-Founder and CEO at CiGen a Robotic Process Automation services company based in Melbourne Australia. Robotic Process Automation or RPA as it is better known is something everyone in talent acquisition needs to understand.

In the interview, we discuss:

• What is Robotic Process Automation?

• Current HR use cases for RPA

• Combining RPA with Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence

• Humans vs Robots

• What will RPA make possible in the future

• The impact on jobs

My guest this week is Adriana Quevedo, Director of Executive Search and On-Boarding at Intel. Adriana has spent the last eight years helping to develop in house executive recruiting at Intel and has some great insights and advice to share.
