TalentCulture #WorkTrends

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, July 15, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about how to create a culture that rocks, and this week we're going to talk about how to build and market your employer brand. No matter how you slice it, it's really a lesson on research and positioning and how you end up marketing your company as the place to work. However, you can't be everything to everyone and too many companies are trying to be just that. No matter how "great" you think your company is, the "greatness" message won't weed out the people who aren't a great fit for your company. So first you should ask your current employees about what your company does well as an employer, and all of the things that it doesn't do well. Then build a real employer brand foundation so you can better extend that brand in the market. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as they talk about how to build and market your employer brand with this week's guest: Susan LaMotte, SPHR, founder of exaqueo, a workforce consultancy.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, July 8, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about the brilliant HR profession of today and tomorrow live from #SHRM15, and this week we're going to talk about how to create a culture that rocks. Because for those cultures about to rock, we'll not only salute you, we'll work for you and evangelize for you. Of course that's a reference to a classic rock song, but it's a mantra that continues to ring true when it comes to workplace culture today. Great "bands" and brands focus on culture first and foremost so it will drive engagement, business outcomes and ultimately success. As our guest this week puts it — culture is only as strong or weak as the employees that collectively make up the heart and soul of the organization. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we talk about the art of candidate engagement with this week's guest: Jim Knight, a leading training and development expert who worked with Hard Rock International for 20 years where he led the renowned School Of Hard Rocks.

We're going to talk about the brilliant HR profession of today and tomorrow. The HR profession has never looked brighter and HR leaders are now powerful change agents, amplifying talent engagement and driving business outcomes. And according to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), HR professionals are feeling more confident about the job security and growth opportunities than ever.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, June 17, 2015, at its new time from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about the art of candidate engagement, and this week we're going to talk about how employee engagement empowers the employer brand. Spending ridiculous amounts of money to source sought-after skill sets and recruit top won't get you very far when your employer brand has hit the skids. Meaning, if your current employees aren't usually happy, even jazzed about working for your company, then that poison seeps into the groundwater and taints the wells around for miles and miles. This is why you must step up your branding game and empower your own employees to evangelize your company culture in an authentic, transparent way. Energizing your employee base to truly engage, tell their stories, share their experiences and engage with potential employees is what empowers the brand. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we talk about the art of candidate engagement with this week's guest: Stacy Zapar, Founder of Tenfold, and recruiting strategist, trainer & advisor.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, June 10, 2015, at its new time from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about business strategies that help CHRO's sleep at night, and this week we're going to talk about the art of candidate engagement. One of the toughest challenges is recruiting in-demand tech talent and how to engage this elusive talent pool. The answer is the right mix of relationship building and empowering recruiting technology that helps recruiters develop a ready pool of tech candidates they can competitively source when the time is right. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we talk about the art of candidate engagement with this week's guests: Johnny Campbell, Founder and CEO at Social Talent; Sara Fleischmann, Purple Squirrel Hunter at Hewlett-Packard; and Stacy Zapar, Founder of Tenfold, and recruiting strategist, trainer & advisor.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, June 3, 2015, at its new time from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about how improving the candidate experience empowers a better workforce, and this week we're going to talk about business strategies that help CHRO's sleep at night. Industry experts and the media always talk more about what keeps business leaders up at night and less about actionable strategies that enable positive change and help them sleep. Let's try and change it up a little, particularly for heads of HR state. Change isn't easy, especially when being applied to solve business problems, but new HR initiatives are important, organization-shifting moments for a company. When CHRO's and their business leader counterparts consider a change for their organization, those who think beyond the ordinary get a sustainable outcome. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we talk about business strategies that help CHRO's sleep at night with this week's guest: Mark Stelzner, Founder of IA HR, a consulting firm that helps HR leaders transform their organizations with confidence.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, May 27, 2015, at its new time from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about how disruptive technologies will empower the future of HR, and this week we're going to talk about how improving the candidate experience empowers a better workforce. The hiring economy today is highly complex. Even though job growth has improved dramatically in the past 14 months, employers still struggle to fill jobs due to talent shortages. The Candidate Experience (CandE) Awards were created to provide a universal measure of the candidate experience. The "winners" are the ones empowering a better workforce. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we talk about how improving the candidate experience empowers a better workforce with this week's guests: Elaine Orler, Chairman and Co-Founder of the Talent Board and the CandEs; and Gerry Crispin, Co-Founder of the Talent Board and the CandEs.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, May 20, 2015, at its new time from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked why true relationship building rises above social, and this week we're going to talk about how disruptive technologies will empower the future of HR. The next 5-10 years will bring unprecedented change to the workplace and the role of Human Resources. There will be those disruptive digital HR technologies that will influence the form and function of HR in a myriad of ways including how and where we work today, how we recruit and hire, and how we train and develop the workforce. Not every technological disruption will be adopted nor will it transform HR for the better, but the fact remains that empowering a better workplace and workforce has already started today. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we talk about how disruptive technologies will empower the future of HR with this week's guest: Alexandra Levit, Future of Work speaker, writer and author of "They Don't Teach Corporate in College."

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, May 13, 2015, at its new time from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about the impact of gender diversity on technology business performance around the world, and this week going to talk about why true relationship building rises above social. Long gone are the formal protocols of the "offline" networking world. Professional and social networking took a lot more work to uncover, establish, and deepen mutually beneficial business relationships. Social media has made connecting and networking so much easier and accessible to nearly everyone with an Internet connection and a mobile device. In a hyper-connected world, those who are able to build, maintain, sustain and leverage their entire network outside of social, be more successful, and impact the world. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we talk about why why true relationship building rises above social with this week's guest: Rob Garcia, Silicon Valley product executive and co-founder and Chief Product Officer at ConnectUp.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show will be live from the IT@Cork European Technology Summit in Cork, Ireland on Wednesday, May 6, 2015, from 6-7pm GMT (1-2pm ET, 10-11am PT). Last week we talked about how to amaze every customer every time, and this week we're going to talk about impact of gender diversity on technology business performance around the world. A University of Cambridge study has observed that Ireland is fifth in the world for female economic power, ranking just behind Australia, Norway, Denmark and Finland. Overall the state of women in tech and business isn't great, but academic institutions are now seeing companies and STEM-based industries develop diverse talent pools that improve business performance. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we welcome our special guests from the IT@Cork European Technology Summit: David Parry-Jones, VP UKI Vmware; Caroline O'Driscoll, Tax Partner at KPMG, Vice Chair of IT@cork; and Michael Loftus, Head of Faculty of Engineering & Science at CIT.
