HR Happy Hour 135 - 'Simulation Learning' - Feb 10,2012 | HR Happy Hour Episiode 135 - Simulation Learning Sponsored by Aquire Thursday Feb. 9, 2012 - 8:00PM ET Call in on 646-378-1086 Follow the backchannel on Twitter - hash tag #HRHappyHour Simulation learning really isn’t new. Remember when you were a child and your favorite response was “I can do it myself!” You then proceeded to copy the actions of the person you found so interesting and so, learned how to accomplish a skill on your own, by doing. That thought process holds true today. Adults learn best by doing. We learn when we use skills, correctly or incorrectly. We learn when we make mistakes in attempting to solve a problem. We learn when we are faced with a challenge and must involve others in finding the best possible solution. Simulation learning provides an opportunity to use skills, to make mistakes, to involve others in a safe environment for achieving new abilities. We use real world situations, situations managers might encounter regularly in the work world. We add to those situations new situations that push an individual, that challenge a person, that encourage new ways of thinking. This week on the show we welcome Kaye Mahon, Partner at Leadership Action Centre, and an expert on simulation and experiential learning to talk about the beneftis and opportunities of simulation learning, and how simulation learning can improve outcomes and company culture. It should be an interesting show, and I hope you can join us! | 2/9/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

HR Happy Hour 133 - 'Big HR Ideas for 2012' - Jan 27,2012 | HR Happy Hour Episode 133 - Big HR Ideas for 2012 Thursday January 26, 2012 - 8:00PM ET Call in - 646-378-1086 Follow the backchannel on Twitter - hashtag #HRHappyHour 2012 is just getting started and we did not really do a ‘Preview’ type show on the HR Happy Hour - a wider or bigger picture view of the big ideas, trends, challenges, etc. that we see organizations and HR leaders having to deal with and address in 2012. For many organizations 2012 will be a pivotal year. As the US and other economies slowly inch out of the long economic downturn and move back into growth and hopefully hiring mode, leaders and HR professionals might find themselves in a kind of transition period, between the slashing, cutting, and paring down period of recent years to a new phase of opportunity and growth. Change, growth, and adoption of new technologies is never an easy process, and often a little slower than we might desire. The history of enterprise tech and HR Tech in particular tell an interesting story and provide some important lessons to HR leaders today. Having insight into the past helps us plan for the future. This week on the show I am pleased to welcome HR industry legend Row Henson for a conversation about some of these big issues and challenges for HR leaders, as well as what HR leaders should be thinking about in 2012 and beyond. Row will lend her insight, perspective, and real world examples from the many leaders and organizations that she works with and supports, to talk about 2012, the big themes that we see impacting the Human Capital space, and what we think leading and innovative organizations will be doing to get a leg up on their competition. It should be a really fun show and I hope you can join us! | 1/26/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Best of HR Happy Hour - Ep. 108 - 'The HR Echo Chamber' - Jan 13,2012 | Note: This is a replay of Episode 108 - originally aired on July 7, 2011 HR Happy Hour - Episode 108 - The HR Echo Chamber Sponsored by Aquire Follow on Twitter - Hashtag #HRHappyHour This week the HR Happy Hour Show goes a bit inside baseball so to speak, with an examination and conversation about the state of the HR blogosphere; the increasing amount of activity, participation,and possible noise in the online HR space; and a look at whether or not all this activity, content creation,and energy expenditure is having an impact on the day-to-day practice of HR and Talent Management in organizations. Social and participatory technologies have created more forums for the creation and propagation of news, opinion, insight, and quite honestly promotion and advertising, that it seems like not a minute of the day goes by without a new blog post being published, a webinar being given, or a series of hashtag-indicated live tweets from one of the newly created grass-roots gatherings. But are the HR bloggers/speakers/social mavens having an impact in the real world of HR? Are we really just saying lots of similar things to a discrete and committed audience? Is the sheer volume making it impossible to keep up, and to discover the real value and insights being created and shared in the space? Join guests Kris Dunn, John Sumser, and guest co-host Trish McFarlane with host Steve Boese for a look at the state of the online HR world. I hope you can join us! | 1/12/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

HR Happy Hour - 130 - 'NBA 2012 Season Preview' - Dec 23,2011 | HR Happy Hour - Episode 130 - NBA 2012 Season Preview Sponsored by Aquire Thursday December 22, 2011 - 8PM ET Call in 646-378-1086 Follow the backchannel conversation on Twitter - hashtag #HRHappyHour Our long national nightmare is finally over. No, I am not talking about the Republican campaign for the Presidential nomination, but the NBA lockout that for a time flirted with the disastrous cancellation of the 2011-2012 NBA season. Now that the labor issues are settled, and (most of) the wheeling and dealing is done, the National Basketball Association is set to embark upon its season with a full slate of marquee games on Christmas day. And since the Association represents probably the most interesting, compelling, and downright fun set of characters, storylines, and athletes in professional sports today, the HR Happy Hour show in partnership with The 8 Man Rotation, (Kris Dunn, Tim Sackett, Matt Stollak, Lance Haun, Steve Boese), will devote the final show of 2011 to a full-on, no lame attempts to tie sports back to work or HR, preview of the upcoming season. What will the late start, short training camps, and compressed schedule mean for the league? What teams made the sharpest moves in the off season? What clubs are ready to win now? What teams might just surprise this year? What players are on the decline and who is on the rise? The teams, the players, and the predictions for 2012 - you will hear it all and more on the HR Happy Hour Show this week. The NBA - this week on the HR Happy Hour. It will be a fun departure for the show this week and I hope you will join us! | 12/22/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Access to information and computing power tended to be scarce, expensive, and protected. Fast forward to today, where the internet, mobile access, social networks and other factors have combined to shift the flow of technological change and progress. Now, individuals have access to tools, networks, ideas, and each other in unprecedented ways, and in a manner that is changing the way we work, and the way the HR organization of the future will have to support their companies. Joining us to tackle these questions will be Yvette Cameron from Constellation Research with insights from Constellation’s latest research and their ongoing investigation of the Future of Work and its impact on people, processes and technologies.

HR Happy Hour 124 - 'Occupy HR' - Nov 04,2011 | HR Happy Hour Episose #124 - Occupy HR Sponsored by Aquire Thursday November 3, 2011 - 8:00PM ET Call in 646-378-1086 Follow the backchannel on Twitter - #HRHappyHour The Occupy protests have seemingly taken root beyond their humble start in NYC protesting against the perception of Wall St. greed and excess, and have begun to morph into something bigger, more fundamental, and potentially more meaningful that anyone originally would have thought. What do these protests have to do with Human Resources and the workforce? Well, plenty - shrinking job prospects and stagnant wage growth for the 99% are a key element in these protests. But at the same time, many people, including HR pros feel like the Occupiers are simply spoiled and feeling entitled. They want them to get out of the park and go get a job. This week on the HR Happy Hour Show we are having an open forum for the HR and Talent community to share their views on the Occupy movement, and hopefully to have some constructive dialogue on what we can all do to help turn things around. So this is your chance, loyal HR Happy Hour listeners, to get off the backchannel for a minute and join the conversation on the show. No guests, no specific agenda, no rules - just an open conversation about the Occupy movement, the lingering problems of unemployement and the stagnation of real income for most Americans, and the ways that organizations and HR professionals can make a difference for good. It should be a fun show and I hope you will join us - and call in! | 11/3/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Adapting to meet these challenges, via a combination of organizational alignment strategies, re-assessment and re-deployment of key HR skills, and more deeply integrating HR operations with business objectives are chief concerns of most HR leaders today. On the show this week, we will welcome Kim Seals, a partnrer from Mercer, to talk about the transformations happening in HR organizations, and some of the key concepts and frameworks that can help HR leaders better adapt to these challenging times. Business is changing, the workforce is changing, and HR needs to change as well to stay current, relevant, and important.

Youve probably read, seen, or at least heard of the Moneyball, the 2003 book by Michael Lewis that documented the innovative approaches for architecting the Oakland As baseball club in the early 2000s. Simply stated, the As, led by GM Billy Beane, implemented a highly analytical approach to talent acquisition, strategy, and evaluation that allowed them, (for a time), to acheive success against their much better funded competitors. Can Moneyball correlate and resonate with Talent and HR pros today? What lessons can we take away from the analytical approach to talent? Can we really leverage a trade secret for all that long? Tonight on the show we will kick it around, and maybe even mix in some NBA lockout, baseball playoffs, and WNBA finals chat as well. It should be a fun show and I hope you can join us. | 10/6/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

HR Happy Hour 115 - 'The New Employer Branding' - Aug 26,2011 | HR Happy Hour Episode 115 - The New Employer Branding Sponsored by Aquire Thursday, August 25, 2011 - 8PM ET Call in 646-378-1086 Follow the conversation on Twitter - hashtag #HRHappyHour The internet, the rise of social media, the constant connectivity that mobile smart phones and tablets provide have changed and impacted every form of communication and commerce. The ways that companies market goods and services, how they support customers, and certainly how they engage current employees and recruit new ones barely resemble many of the practices and processes from just a few years ago. Consumers expect information in real-time, with multiple delivery mechanisms, and the ability to sometimes participate in the process of production and delivery. And if a brand fails to act responsibly and respond positively to these seismic shifts, well they run the risk of being left behind. In the HR and recuiting space, companies are also increasingly mindful of their public face, the messages and implied promises that their employer brand makes to their communities. What does the company believe? What do they reward? What kinds of people like to work there? What does it mean to be one of them? Employer brand is about all this and even more. This week on the show we will talk about the new employer brand - open, social, and co-created, with Jake Dunlap - VP at Glassdoor.com, the leading site for employer reviews, information, and discussion. What does it mean for organizations? How can they win at this game? What is the role of the employee? Employer brand conversations are always lively - I hope you can join us! | 8/25/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

In society, in politics, in the workplace? For all the argument, debate, and discussion about the impact of Gen Y and Millennials as 'blocks', there are an equal amount of arguments that claim these generational labels are meaningless, and people need to be valued and managed simply as individuals. Does the greater context of life experience, exposure to technology, and the major societal events actually shape and help define a generation in ways that can be evaluated and leveraged. Can multiple generations survive and thrive in the workplace if these larger and broader trends are not appreciated? This week on the show, we will be joined by Brad Szollose, author of 'Liquid Leadership: From Woodstock to Wikipedia, Multi-generational Management Ideas That are Changing the Way We Run Things' to talk about these issues.

HR Happy Hour - Episode 89 - 'The Union Label ' - Mar 04,2011 | HR Happy Hour - Episode 89 - 'The Union Label ' Thursday March 3, 2011 - 8PM ET Call in 646-378-1086 We've been doing the HR Happy Hour show for close to two years, and we've never done a 'unions' or 'organized labor' show before. Why? Well, for the most part unions and organized labor were not really topical, not terribly interesting, and seemingly almost a relic of a earlier time in industrial America. But in just the last few weeks the news from Wisconsin has thrust unions, labor relations, and collective bargaining from the dimly-lit back room to the front page. Today, you can't tune in to any cable news channel without getting the latest update from the statehouse in Madison. All of a sudden, we've all received a 10-minute course in collective bargaining. Do the events in Wisconsin have broader, more universal implications? Is this really a kind of 'Custer's last stand' for public sector unions in America? Do unions even have a place any more, in an economic landscape increasingly marked by rapid change, and institutions that are forced to evolve and adapt much faster than ever before? And one final question - since the issue of union support seems to be almost entirely tied up in politics, are elected officials of all stripes taking advantage of the situation in Wisconsin (and other states) to further there own aims? Lots of questions, lots of passion, and no easy answers. But after two years the HR Happy Hour will at least open up the floor as we talk about unions, labor, politics, and the future of work. Our labor relations guy, Mike VanDervort will join us for the show, as well as MIT's Thomas Kochan, and maybe even an additional guest or two, but we really want you the listener to join the conversation as well. Postscript - who remembers the 'Look for the union label' song? | 3/3/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

HR Happy Hour - Episode 88 - 'Feedback and Performance' - Feb 25,2011 | HR Happy Hour - Episode 88 - 'Feedback and Performance' Thursday February 24, 2011 - 8PM ET Call in 646-378-1086 Dread the annual performance review? Well, join pretty much all your colleagues and friends that have come to loathe that yearly exercise in futility, discomfort, and double-talk. Want to share the good news and recognize the great contributions of your team, your peers, or even your managers? I guess you could send an email. Better not 'copy all' though, because people get enough email every day. Maybe you could just get them a gift card or something. Although who will remember the $25 pop at Olive Garden come review time next spring. Hate the tools and sytems (HRIS, Talent Management, collaboration) that your organization has foisted on you? Join the club. Man it would be nice to get some help with the performance/feedback process, with the peer and team recognition process, and using a system that was actually fun and engaging. That would be pretty awesome. And what is more awesome is that there actually is a solution that can help your organization with all those problems, it is called Rypple. And better still Rypple co-CEO Dan Debow and Rypple Head of Sales David Priemer will be our guests this week to talk feedback, performance, and why enterprise software doesn't have to suck. It should be a fun and interesting show as we welcome the smarties from Rypple. | 2/24/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

HR Happy Hour - Episode 87 - 'Robots and Social Networks' - Feb 18,2011 | HR Happy Hour - Episode 87 - 'Robots and Social Networks' Thursday February 17, 2011 In the last thirty years the remarkable advances in technology have irreversibly changed and shaped our relationship with these technologies,and quite possibly each other. Whether it is the development and increasing influence of smart and sociable robots, or the constant connectivity and apparent intimacy of social networks like Facebook and Twitter; these modern technologies have impacted us in ways that perhaps were unanticipated, unwanted, and potentially detrimental. Do the advances in robot technology detract from our ability to connect and relate to each other? Does the constant connectivity, the prevalence of lives led online, in virtual relationships that have the potential to overtake our real world connections, threaten to drive us, paradoxically, into increased solitude? Are we trading the real for the artificial? And if so, what does that mean for us, for our relationships, our understanding of privacy, and for the future of our workplaces? Joining us on the show will be Professor Sherry Turkle of MIT, and author of 'Alone Together', to talk about the implications of the advances in these technologies, and the potential impacts, both good and bad, from the rise of the social age. This should be an interesting and provocative show, and I hope you can join us. | 2/17/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Point is, with smart and interesting guys like Bryan and William, you never know what direction we may head. From their shows you know Bryan and William are never shy from stating their opinions, and you can be absolutely sure for a fun, interesting, provocative, and highly entertaining hour.

HR Happy Hour - Episode 85 - 'Networks and Work' - Feb 04,2011 | HR Happy Hour - Episode 85 - 'Networks and Work' Thursday February 3, 2011 - 8PM ET It's not what you know, it's who you know. That old business axiom has been around since the rolodex and filofax days, but it likely has never been more true than it is today for the modern organization. Tapping in to the knowledge, professional, and social network connections of employees, alumni, partners, and even fans is fast becoming a key competitive differentiator for many progressive companies. But how does a enlightened leader take these ideas, which are kind of abstract, and distill and improve on them such that they become actionable and deliverable assets? What are the relevant networks and approaches for organizations to support, develop, and maintain? Can you really keep alumni engaged and valued after they leave? How open or closed should these networks be? Joining us on the show to talk about the power and potential of networks will be CEO of SelectMinds, Anne Berkowitch, along with SelectMinds Director of Product Marketing, Jim Milton. I hope you can join us for what should be an interesting and fun show. Call in 646-378-1086 | 2/3/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

HR Happy Hour - Episode 83 - 'Leadership in the Social Age' - Jan 21,2011 | HR Happy Hour - Episode 83 - 'Leadership in the Social Age' Thursday January 20, 2011 - 8PM ET Social Networking and Social Media are changing, influencing, and at times making traditional approaches to management and leadership seem somewhat dated, and perhaps ineffective. Leadership and Leadership Development in particular face new opportunities and difficult conundrums driven by the rapid growth of social media, and for more traditional leaders, particularly when faced with the changes in expectations these challenges are more pressing and acute. This week on the show we will be joined by Kevin Eikenberry, leadership expert and author to talk about leadership in the social age. What new challenges does social present for leaders? What if the leader is not naturally 'social'? Are the expectations of employees, customers, and the public for more openness and transparency forcing many leaders out of their comfort zones? Finally, we will also look at how current and aspiring leaders can further their own development by leveraging resources and approaches in the social space, as well as how HR professionals can incorporate social aspects into current leadership development initiatives.

Join guest co-hosts Trish McFarlane, practicing HR pro and author of the HR Ringleader blog, and Paul Hebert, owner of i2i, a Marketing and Incentive design consultancy, to talk about the big issues in motivation, incentives, recognition and engagement. Words that many HR professionals perceive as interchangeable will be our topic on this week's HR Happy Hour show. We'll specially cover: What is motivation and can HR do anything about it? What can HR do to do “engagement” better? Is it really HR’s problem? How should a company run incentives and rewards programs? What are most businesses getting right? Getting wrong? Greater understanding and ownership by the HR profession is needed in order to make a more effective impact on the business. From guiding behaviors that need to continue to fostering environments that discourage the less desirable behavior- HR is involved. Please set your clocks, watches, iPhones - whatever, you don't want to miss this special show with Trish and Paul. And who knows, maybe Steve and Shauna can run the Twitter back channel for a change! | 1/13/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

This week author and consultant Adele Lynn of the Lynn Leadership Group joins us to talk 'Emotional Intelligence'. You may have heard about Emotional Intelligence, you may think you know what it means, but perhaps have never thought about the importance of Emotional Intelligence from a leadership, organizational or recruiting perspective. Ms. Lynn will share with her some of the advice and knowledge gained from over a decade studying, consulting, speaking, and authoring several books on the subject of emotional intelligence. We will discuss an Overview of EQ, what makes a person with a high level of EQ different, and some examples of EQ interactions in everyday life. We will also dive into the emphasis EQ in the workplace why EQ is important in business, the importance of EQ for HR managers (e.g. how to ensure a high level of EQ in employees/new hire, as well as some tips/strategies for HR Managers on how to foster EQ in the workplace.

HR Happy Hour - Episode 79 - 'The New Communities' - Dec 17,2010 | HR Happy Hour - Episode 79 - 'The New Communities' Thursday December 16, 2010 - 8PM ET 'Community' might rival 'transparency' and 'engagement' as one of the most often repeated, and potentially misunderstood terms of the social networking age. 'Communities', especially online ones, take many forms, have a wide variety of platforms, and operate in so many different ways that it might be said that every community, be it a customer community, an employee community, or even the greater collection of people living in a city or supporting a cause, has it's own unique and distinct characteristics, needs, and benefits. With so many companies and HR organizations grappling the diverse and complex concepts of 'community', we thought it time to talk about communities, community management, and some of the ways organizations can extract the most value out of their supported communities, while simultaneously contributing to the community goals. Our guests will be Teresa Basich, Community Manager for Radian6, and two great guests from Kodak, Chief Blogger Jenny Cisney, and Community Manager Shruti Goradia. I hope you can join us for a fun and interesting discussion on communities and community management in this, the age of social networking. | 12/16/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

HR Happy Hour - Episode 78 - 'Politics, Religion, and Work' - Dec 10,2010 | HR Happy Hour - Episode 78 - 'Politics, Religion, and Work' Thursday December 9, 2010 When it comes to what drives alliances and differences in the workforce, generational lines have nothing on politics or religion. In a poll reported on by MSNBC just before the last election, over 70% of people admitted to not being able to control their passions when it comes to politics. Think about that... how many people get so worked up over their generation that they can't control their emotions? So on Thursday night, let's dive in. Here's what we already know: -The company policy exists. -It's bad business to discriminate for any reason, including religious or political beliefs. -It's also illegal. -It's socially dangerous to talk politics at work. -Religion and politics are both are facing major crises of confidence today. Bad business? Illegal? Social danger? Institutions in crisis? This is starting point... let's see where it goes. The great Jason Seiden, author of 'Super Staying Power' returns to the host's chair this week for what will be a lively and interesting show, I hope you can join in. | 12/9/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

What was once a small online provider of shoes and accessories has in a few short years developed into a e-tailing juggernaut, famous for its exemplary customer service, dynamic leadership, and innovative talent management practices. We have all heard and read much about the vaunted Zappos culture, the openness and transparency that guides the organization, and the almost fanatical devotion of the brand's customers and fans. What is it like practicing HR at Zappos? How have they managed to make what for most is an elusive connection between business strategy and talent management strategy? How does HR help define and protect the Zappos culture, and ensure that rapid growth doesn't dilute what is special and unique? We will take a peek at the world of HR and Talent Management at Zappos with Zappos Cruise Ship Captain Jamie Naughton for what promises to be a fun and interesting show.

The first wellness show back in September had a few technical glitches, and we knew that the topic and our great panel of guests deserved a second airing, and the opportunity to do it right. Thankfully, our experts Tanya Barham, Greg Matthews, and Fran Melmed were able to join us again to talk about the increasingly important topic of wellness in the workplace. How do organizations try and sustain the momentum after Open Enrollment, what is the role that incentives and rewards play in workplace wellness initiatives, and why does it seem an evil conspiracy that McRib season and Open Enrollment season seem to totally overlap are just some of the topics we will hit. It should be a fun and lively show. Grab a beverage, a possibly healthy snack, and join us this week. | 11/18/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

One of the main challenges, and opportunities, for CHROs and for HR in general, was identified to be creating and supporting an environment for better enterprise collaboration, and to better unlock the potential in their workforces and ecosystems. How can HR stake its ground in Enterprise Collaboration initiatives? What approaches are successful organizations employing? What is the role of culture and the importance of metrics in enterprise collaboration efforts? And can you do any of this without new technology? This week we will take on the 'HR and Enterprise Collaboration' topic with two guests that can share different but complementary views and expertise. Matt Wilkinson from enterprise collaboration vendor Socialcast and Jon Ingham, HR and Management consultant, and leading HR 2.0 voice.

On the show we will talk about the overall findings from the study, and deep dive into the three main workforce gaps and opportunities identified by the CHROs. 1. Cultivating Creative Leaders - who can lead in complex, global environments 2. Mobilizing for speed - generating capability to rapidly identify and meet changing conditions and matching talent with opportunity 3. Capitalizing on collective intelligence - increased collaboration and knowledge sharing is seen as an essential need and a significant gap. Dan will help us understand the study's findings and discuss some of the recommendations for action that can help your organization with these challenges.

HR Happy Hour: 'HR Horror Stories II' - Oct 29,2010 | HR Happy Hour - Episode 73 - 'HR Horror Stories II' Thursday October 28, 2010 - 8PM ET Sequels are a funny thing. For every sequel that kicks butt and helps to further the story, (think Empire Strikes Back), there are about a dozen that are a ridiculous waste of time. Last year, just before Halloween, we held the first 'HR Horror Stories' show, and it was EPIC. Listeners called in to share some of the most incredible, frightening, and cringe-worthy tales from their time in HR, Recruiting, and general management. Look, we all know people do some crazy, inappropriate, and shocking stuff at work. And we know that most of the time HR has to come in and clean up the mess. Since we know that even though last year's HR Horror Stories show was off the chain, there are even more wild stories out there that need to be told. So this week, in the spirit of the season, it is 'HR Horror Stories II'. No scheduled guests. No agenda. Just you calling in to share your tales of shock and awe from your time on the front lines. Crazy interview stories, harassment, fraud, embezzlement? You name it, it is fair game this week. And if we don't get enough 'Horror Stories' called in, I will talk about basketball for the entire show. You have been warned. | 10/28/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

HR Happy Hour - Episode 66 - 'Wrestling with Wellness' - Sep 24,2010 | HR Happy Hour - Episode 66 - 'Wrestling with Wellness' Thursday September 23, 2010 - 8PM ET Subtitle - 'It is quite possible you are too fat to work here'. You can't swing a cat around the office these days without coming up against some corporate wellness type initiatives. Whether it is Sally in Accounting handing you a pedometer, a company sponsored Weight Watchers meeting (oddly they are always at lunch time), or the benefits team trying to convince, cajole, or badger you into quitting smoking, twinkies, or sitting on your butt all week. Wellness in the workplace is a fact of life for many of us now, and for the folks in the organization responsible for keeping the company's benefits costs under control, it is really a serious matter. But wellness at work is kind of a contradictory concept. We want folks to work like dogs, put in extra hours, fuel up on caffeine to keep going, and often engage in lots of behaviors that are not all the 'well'. And the idea of an employer monitoring your habits, diet, and really personal affairs does not sit well with many employees. And the last thing we want is for the company or employees to turn into the diet police at work. But health care costs spiral out of control, and orgs can't continue to bear these increases (and neither can employees). So where is the happy medium between 'big brother' monitoring and thoughtful, successful, and enlightened wellness programs. I am not sure, so this week Fran Melmed, Tanya Barham, and Greg Mathews will join us on the show to wrestle with wellness. I hope you can join us. | 9/23/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Perhaps it's because inside organizations and as leaders and HR professionals we get caught up in the day to day, burdened or even overwhelmed by outdated processes, tired information systems, and rigid, inflexible structures and hierarchies that may have served a noble purpose in the past, but now seem to keep us stuck and unable to do the important and interesting work we know we are capable of. We know we have to get smarter, more nimble, and better able to react to changing conditions in the external marketplace, as well as in the management of organizational information and unleashing of internal talent. It would be hard to argue those points, and while we know them to be true, the trick is how to go about making the changes needed, and as leaders and HR professionals how to raise our games to deliver on these objectives. Better technology, more business-savvy HR teams, and deeper understanding of how to tie employee efforts with personal and organizational goals - those are some of the keys to unlocking the future, and they will be what we will discuss this week on the show with our special guests Leighanne Levensaler, Vice President of HCM Strategy at Workday, and Jennifer Fitzpatrick, Director HR & Talent Management at Chiquita Brands International. Leighanne and Jennifer not only know the talk, but they know how to deliver, and they will share their insights and expertise to help you understand how to enable 'Tomorrow's HR Today'.

HR Happy Hour - Episode 59 - 'About Your Performance Review' - Aug 20,2010 | HR Happy Hour - Episode 59 - 'About Your Performance Review' Thursday, August 19, 2010 - 8PM EDT So let's talk about your performance this past year. I think you did do an overall excellent job, and you are a valuable resource to the team, but I am under pressure from HR not to give out too many 4's and 5's, so I have to give you a 3. Don't worry, you are still well thought of in the organization, and since we are looking to hold the line on annual salary increases, the ratings this year are not all that important. Any questions? Great, just sign and initial on the last page. How about those (choose from among) Yankees, Red Sox, Braves, Dodgers? Sound familiar? A little cynical? Only happens in 'bad' companies? Maybe. This week on the HR Happy Hour show we take on, and I mean take on, one of the sacred cows in HR and management practice. The annual performance review. Who among us actually looks forward to giving or receiving these? Why are they so dysfunctional, one-sided, and in many organizations, kind of meaningless? Our guest this week, Professor Samuel Culbert, author of 'Get Rid of the Performance Review!' argues that they need to be scrapped once and for all. That they do not serve any useful purpose, and actually degrade morale, performance, and results. You might agree, you might disagree, but you have to join us this week to really make up your mind. Yes, we want to talk to you this week 'About Your Performance Review'. We promise it won't be too painful. | 8/19/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

HR Happy Hour - Episode 58 - 'Job Boards and the Future' - Aug 13,2010 | HR Happy Hour - Episode 58 - 'Job Boards and the Future' Thursday August 12, 2010 8PM EDT So much has changed in the world of work and recruiting in the last five years. Global recession, rising unemployment in many countries, the maturation of social networks as a viable platform for job advertising and candidate sourcing, and oh yeah, an every three month or so prediction from someone that 'the big job boards are dead'. Despite all the turmoil and change, the big job boards are still around, and most of them are not simply sitting still, rather they have come to realize that innovation, adaptation, and flexibility are absolute requirements for survival in a world of reduced hiring, shrinking HR budgets, and the increasingly popular notion in many companies that big job boards are no longer needed, when direct access to candidates via social networks has never been easier. This week on the HR Happy Hour show we welcome Tom Silver, SVP of Dice.com, the leading job board for IT and other technical positions. You would be hard pressed to find an experienced IT worker that has not spent significant time in the last 10 years trolling Dice. Tom will share with us his insights on the world of the big job board today, what Dice.com sees as the major challenges in recruiting highly skilled workers today, and some of the new products and services Dice is rolling out in response to the dawn of social recruiting. An insider's view into the big job board scene - it should be an interesting show and I hope you can join us. | 8/12/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

HR Happy Hour - Episode 57 - 'Exceeds Expectations with Sonar6' - Aug 06,2010 | HR Happy Hour - Episode - 'Exceeds Expectations with Sonar6' Thursday August 5, 2010 8PM EDT The words 'performance review' and 'suck' are so often in the same sentence that it really is not all that surprising to find that the vast majority of managers and employees look at the annual performance review with at best, trepidation, and at worst, dread. I mean, performance reviews suck, right? Well a few years ago a software company called Sonar6 was formed, and understanding the baseline assumption that performance reviews suck, set out to build a solution that would (gasp) actually make performance reviews and performance management, interesting, engaging, and assuredly not 'sucky'. Sonar6 makes some of the most innovative solutions for performance management and succession planning that you perhaps have never seen, (but you need to). They also have a fun and offbeat approach to marketing and communications that is a refreshing change of pace from the mainstream. I mean for a small company from New Zealand to make a name for itself in the crowded HCM space, you have to think differently, right? Joining us on the show will be Mike Carden, Co-founder of Sonar6 to share their unique story, their approach to performance management, and why more companies aren't as cool as they are.

HR Happy Hour - Episode 54 - 'Enterprise 2.0 and HR' - Jul 16,2010 | HR Happy Hour - Episode 54 - 'Enterprise 2.0 and HR' - Thursday July 15, 2010 8PM EDT Enterprise 2.0, defined as 'the use of emergent social software platforms by organizations in pursuit of their goals', has become an increasingly important concept for organizational leaders to understand and leverage. Enterprise 2.0, or E2.0 for short, is changing the way companies interact with customer and communities, how information is shared, created, and consumed, and in many progressive companies, is altering some of the fundamental processes and definitions of work. Certainly the proliferation of tools and platfroms on the social and participatory web, social networks, shared co-creation of knowledge repositories, and the realization of the power of networks have begun to impact the inner working environments of many organizations today. Success in E2.0 projects is much more about understanding and influencing people - their behavior, habits, and the collection of shared beliefs and practices that shape an organization's culture. Hey - those sound quite a bit like the topics that a great HR leader should not only understand, but should be able to help shape. In fact, many of the fundamental pillars for lasting success with E2.0 seem to be squarely in the HR pro's sights. So why does it seem like HR has been largely missing from the E2.0 conversations? How come HR seems to have ceded this ground to the IT folks? What can and should a savvy HR leader be doing not only to become more aware of the capability and potential of E2.0, but also to help lead organizational efforts. Joining us on the show will be Professor Andrew McAfee, the author of 'Enterprise 2.0 : New Collaborative Tools For Your Organization's Toughest Challenges'. Professor McAfee coined the term 'Enterprise 2.0', and is the most influential thought leader in the space. I hope you can join us for what should be a interesting and informative show. | 7/15/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

HR Happy Hour - Episode 53 - 'Re-thinking Talent' - Jul 09,2010 | HR Happy Hour - Episode 53 - 'Re-thinking Talent' Thursday July 8, 2010 - 8pm EDT The long lasting and lingering economic recession, shifting workplace demographics, access to information and talent growing exponentially, and likely the final days of the traditional 'employee/employer' social contract are all conspiring to make locating, acquiring, and retaining the talent that organizations still need ever more challenging. The recession in particular is forcing a new generation of workers to think differently about work and nature of their future relationship with an employer, or more likely the many employers they are going to have in their working careers. Workers and candidates have been forced to adapt, but what about organizations? Are the organizations that need to have access to and support from ever more capable collections of talented staff doing enough to adapt themselves to this new environment? What approaches and strategies for talent acquisition make the most sense in a world where compensation, benefits, and long-term security can no longer be promised? Does traditional internal career pathing even make an impact on the modern employee that fully expects a short tenure at an organization? What organizations are today are changing and morphing the fastest and best to remain competitive and successful in their talent acquisition efforts? Joining us to talk about these issues will be Susan Burns from Talent Synchronicity and Jennifer McClure from Unbridled Talent (and hopefully you too). | 7/8/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

HR Happy Hour - Episode 52 - 'I Fought the Law' - Jul 02,2010 | HR Happy Hour - Episode 52 - 'I Fought the Law' Thursday, July 1, 2010 - 8PM EDT So now everyone, your dad, your kids, your grandma, and your employees are happily tweeting, friending, liking, and sharing information on public social networks like Facebook and Twitter. In the corporate world, reactions to this phenomenon have varied from outright bans on one extreme, to fundamental embrace of the tools on the other extreme. And no matter what position your organization stakes out along the continuum, risks, opportunities, and choices abound. How much transparency and openness is too much? What kinds of risks are there for organizations in policy making and in enforcement? Are there particular elements of employment law and organizational exposure that need to be considered? It is naive to propose outright bans on these tools, as it is equally naive to promote unfettered and unmonitored access and usage in the workplace. This week we will be joined by Eric Meyer, Paul Smith, and Joan Ginsberg, all HR and/or legal experts, to talk about these and other issues. Please join us!

HR Happy Hour - Episode 51 - 'Live from Gettysburg' - Jun 25,2010 | HR Happy Hour - Episode 51 - 'Live from Gettysburg' Thursday June 24, 2010 - 8PM EDT Gettysburg. For most Americans, and students of military history the name alone conjures up thoughts of devastating battle, loss, heartbreak, and ultimately redemption. The scene of a terrible and significant three day battle in the American Civil War and the setting for one of the most famous political speeches in history, Lincoln's legendary Gettysburg Address. Learning more about the battle, and the leaders on both sides of the field offers important lessons - not just in military tactics, but in leadership of organizations and of people. What drove the best leaders on the field that day? What did they possess that compelled men to hurl themselves into incredibly dangerous situations simply to follow them? Where did they go wrong - after all many thousands of brave soldiers never returned from Gettysburg. The HR Happy Hour show is pleased to broadcast live from Gettysburg as a guest of the Conference Board's Gettysburg Leadership Development Experience. Join us with some very special guests as we talk history, leadership, courage, and even a bit of tragedy - live from Gettysburg. The HR Happy Hou | 6/24/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

HR Happy Hour - Episode 49 - 'The Why of Work' - Jun 11,2010 | HR Happy Hour - Episode 49 - 'The Why of Work' Thursday June 10, 2010 - 8PM EDT Why do we work? Is it just for the pay check, to get the bills paid and keep the lights on? Or is there more to it, like a search for meaning, community, or engagement in a cause that is important or meaningful? In their new book 'The Why of Work', Dave Ulrich and Wendy Ulrich describe that through our work we seek a sense of purpose and meaning, and that by tapping into that meaning we can enjoy more successful and positive workplaces, more engaged workforces, and more successful organizations. How can leaders strive to create more abundant organizations, that are better connected to the needs of customers, employees, shareholders, and communities while providing employees more opportunity to find their true motivation and get more connected to the work, to each other, and to the organization. Dave Ulrich, Professor of Business at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, and c-founder of the RBL Group will be our special guest on the HR Happy Hour to talk about The Why of Work, finding and creating meaning in the workplace, and the ideas behind the abundant organization.

The team from the Women of HR will discuss the goals for the new site, what we want to accomplish and our personal reasons for participating in this new venture. Shauna and crew hope the site will fill a very important need as a resource for women and workplace issues, a place for advice, mentoring, and where we can build a community as well.

Indie culture has its roots in the Beat poets of the 50s and stretches to the present day, as thousands of creators make, build, and showcase their ideas and themselves on and offline, and in a scores of constantly changing ways. Why is indie culture, and the indie ethos so enduring and what does it tell us about the modern workplace and the new skills needed to succeed in a global, fast-moving, and constantly changing business world? How does one stay indie once you start climbing up the corporate ladder? Or are big corporate interests always going to see indie creations and ideas as something to 'leverage' and use up? Joining us on the show this week will be Kaya Oakes, author of 'Slanted and Enhchanted: The Evolution of Indie Culture' to talk about the history, development, and current state of indie and help us to understand how the indie ethos is relevant to today's individual and organization.

While most of us would agree that more flexibility in the design of jobs is desirable or 'better', often HR professionals have difficulty understanding how to design more flexible workplaces, to develop flexibility strategies that will work for the organization, and to even understand their important role in this area. Joining us will be Cali Yost, of the FlexStrategy Group and WorkLife Fit, Inc., writer at Fast Company, and an expert on workplace flexibility, to talk about how to move Work/Life from discussion to action, and how HR professionals can be better equipped to lead and support these important initiatives in their organizations.

We will preview the upcoming Social Recruiting Summit set for May 17 in Minneapolis, talk about the NBA playoffs (sort of) and how sports and organizational talent management are so intertwined. Because we all know it isn't about 'sports'. It is about talent assessment, development, alignment, and execution. It is about creating an environment that brings out the best in talent, and allows people to live up to their potential. Or it really may be about the NBA playoffs. Joining us on the show will be Kris Dunn, the HR Capitalist and the chair for the Social Recruiting Summit, Lance Haun from ERE and Rehaul.com, Tim Sackett from the Fistful of Talent and the smartest guy in HR - the Professor Matt Stollak.

Thursday - April 22, 2010 - 8PM ET Benefits are one of the most critical components of the overall compensation package for employees, but are frequently misunderstood, underutilized, and poorly communicated. Recent research shows that while employees place a significantly high importance and value on benefits, employers consistently underestimate how significant that satisfaction with benefits drives overall job satisfaction. Why are employers missing the connection here? What strategies and technologies can be brought to bear by organizations to make their benefits offerings better understood and better utilized. How does social media play into this equation? What do the upcoming major changes in US Health Care policy mean for employers and employees? What should companies be saying/doing/sharing?

So how do you 'do HR when your are the only one doing HR?' We talk about some of the specific challenges in doing HR for small organizations, with no (or little support), many times in organizations that have never 'had' HR, and with people that often don't think they need the help. We will explore how working in the small business environment challenges you as the HR professional. How is it harder/easier that being a cog in the HR wheel at a big company? Is it better for your overall development? And we will examine some of practical things, like technology, resources, ways to leverage networks and information so that you are not so 'on your own' all the time.

Money, perks, benefits, stock options, you know the drill. Organizations every day have to find the right balance in their compensation strategy. Pay too little, and you become the Pittsburgh Pirates, and all your good player leave the first chance they can. Pay too much, and you are the New York Knicks, buried in the standings and with a soured reputation as a team with a bunch or underperforming overpaid has-beens. What is 'fair' and 'right' in compensation programs? Has the recession killed 'pay for performance'? Can companies get away with lowballing on pay and trying to compete with culture and opportunity? Joining us on the show to talk $$$, will be Ann Bares, Becky Regan, and Margaret O'Hanlon. I hope you can join us as well. | 3/11/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
