A recent McKinsey report found that 100 million workers across the globe will need to find new jobs by 2030. That comes to about 17 million Americans that will be transitioning to a new career. However, an Amazon-commissioned Accenture report found that 33 million low-income Americans could be upskilled for emerging jobs with the right training. For this reason, Amazon recently announced that they are committed to training 29 million people across the world for free for in-demand skills. I am pleased to have on the show today Maureen Lonergan, Director of Worldwide Training and Certifications at AWS (https://aws.amazon.com/). Maureen leads a team of builders committed to training the next generation of diverse cloud talent. Maureen empowers AWS customers, partners, and employees to gain the skills and knowledge needed to leverage the power of the AWS Cloud. Maureen launched AWS Training and Certification in 2012 with the vision of delivering new training and certification programs to meet learners where the

Guest: Dr. Kamila Sip, Senior Director of Neuroscience Research & Science Content Lead, NeuroLeadership Institute Burnout. We’ve all experienced it, and it’s been talked about a lot over the last year. Unfortunately, it is often misunderstood or overlooked. Meanwhile, talking about it is only the beginning of what we can do to address the issue. In this episode, we discuss the signs of burnout, common misconceptions about what it is and how it works, and what can be done with a neuroscientist. Dr. Kamila Sip is the Senior Director of Neuroscience Research and the Science Content Lead for the NCI's Education Programs (https://neuroleadership.com/).

Guest: Naveen Bhateja, CHRO, Medidata Solutions Inc. Welcome back to HR Works Podcast’s 5-Minute Fridays. Today I am happy to share a few minutes of my recent interview with Naveen Bhateja, CHRO at Medidata Solutions (https://www.medidata.com/en/) as well as an HR tech advisor, investor, and board director. In this episode, we discuss why HR really should be included on boards of directors, among other things.

Guests: Harley Blakeman, Founder & CEO, Honest Jobs and Arthur Yamamoto, VP of Talent, Checkr, Inc. According to the World Prison Brief at PrisonStudies.org, the United States has the largest prison population in the world and the highest per capita incarceration rate. While we could discuss the ethics of such a system, today I’d rather discuss one of the consequences of this system: unhirable candidates among the formerly incarcerated. A job seeker’s incarceration becomes a matter of public record, except in certain specific cases, and comes up on even the most cursory background checks. While many have tried to make things fairer for these candidates, the truth is that the formerly incarcerated have serious difficulty landing jobs. In this episode we are going to explore why the perspective of not hiring the formerly incarcerated is misguided and results in the loss of potentially wonderful talent with two experts. Our first guest is Harley Blakeman, he is the Founder & CEO of Honest Jobs (https://www.

Guest: Carol Mackinlay, Chief People Officer, UserTesting If you are like me, you probably don't like change. It's an instinct for survival to keep on doing what works. Human Resources and that instinct are not particularly compatible. Change is the bread and butter of any HR role, and while that may put some like me outside of their comfort zone, it also invites personalities like that of today's guest. Today I am happy to share a few minutes of my recent interview with Carol Mackinlay, Chief People Officer at UserTesting (https://www.usertesting.com/). If you enjoy this episode, please consider checking in next Thursday, May 27th in our “Faces of HR” (https://hrdailyadvisor.blr.com/category/faces-of-hr/) column where I’ll share the rest of our conversation.

Guest: Samantha Hammock, SVP, Global Talent, Verizon This special episode of HR Works Podcast is available in video format here: https://bit.ly/3hrYk1K Last week I shared my first interview with people from Verizon to discuss their efforts to support professional women. This week I am pleased to release part two of that interview. Samantha Hammock, SVP, Global Talent, Verizon. We discuss the issue of women leaving the workplace in record numbers, how to stem the exodus, and how to bring them back into the workplace. Samantha, along with her peer Aimee Novak, also helped create Verizon's Women in Business program that they launched bringing together leading female business leaders in the space in a series of intimate video roundtables. They also launched a very recent effort known as The Women’s CoLab (https://www.verizon.com/about/womens-co-lab). This effort will bring together resources to succeed, both during the pandemic and beyond and in an increasingly digital world. Participants get access to trailbl

Guest: Aimee Novak, Vice President of Business Sales at Verizon This special episode of HR Works Podcast is available in video format here: https://bit.ly/3eZgSTU As women continue to leave the workplace in record numbers, it is more important than ever for organizations to get a handle on the situation and do whatever they can to help. Today we are pleased to release the first of a two-part video interview with two executives from Verizon discussing their efforts to support professional women. In this interview, I wanted to better understand two of their efforts. The first is the Women in Business program that they launched bringing together leading female business leaders in the space in a series of intimate video roundtables. The second is a very recent effort known as The Women’s CoLab (https://www.verizon.com/about/womens-co-lab). This effort will bring together resources to succeed, both during the pandemic and beyond and in an increasingly digital world. Participants get access to trailblazing leade

Guest: Nadian Zak, Senior Vice President of People, Vertava Health HR represents the middle ground between employees and employers. That gives HR a special kind of power that is neither from-the-top leadership nor that of a general employee. Rather, they have the power to influence both sides to reach their strategic outcomes. Today's HR Works Podcast 5-Minute Friday guest, Nadian Zak, Senior Vice President of People at Vertava Health (https://vertavahealth.com/) shares this view and explores this and other topics including why HR would be well-positioned to be an executive-level leader. If you enjoy this episode, make sure to check out the rest of the interview which will be shared on the “Faces of HR” (https://hrdailyadvisor.blr.com/category/faces-of-hr/) column next Thursday, May 13th.

What do poor diversity, hostile work environments, corporate espionage, and poor safety cultures have in common? They can all be found long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away. Whether you are talking about the Empire, the Rebellion, or even the First Order, the organizations that populate the Star Wars universe have a lot to learn from HR and safety professionals. I hope you all enjoy this lighthearted diversion from our often much more serious topics. I am very pleased to be joined today by Simplify Media’s own Justin Scace, a colleague of mine who is the Editor of the Environmental, Health, and Safety Daily Advisor. Justin is also the host of our sister podcast, EHS on Tap. We actually recorded another episode with an EHS perspective that is live right now (https://ehsdailyadvisor.blr.com/podcast/ehs-on-tap-e69-star-wars-day/).

Guest: Karen Crone, CHRO at Paycor. Employers often recognize employees' work milestones, but what about their life milestones? When organizations recognize life milestones, it shows they care about employees beyond their capacity as a worker. Today I am happy to share a few minutes of my recent interview with Karen Crone, CHRO at Paycor (https://www.paycor.com/) about this and other topics. If you enjoy this episode, make sure to check back next Thursday, May 6th when I’ll release the rest of the episode on our “Faces of HR” (https://hrdailyadvisor.blr.com/category/faces-of-hr/) column.

Guests: Ofer Reiss, CEO & Owner of ProfCheck LTD, and David Garcia, the CEO of ScoutLogic. In this episode, we are going to discuss background checks. So many organizations require background checks on potential employees, and there are countless services out there to assist you. But not all background checks are equal, and there are some tricky compliance issues to navigate as well. Finally, the pandemic has changed the nature of background checks as well. You may have noticed that we have been releasing a podcast every Tuesday and Friday. We are pleased to announce that this will be our permanent schedule for the foreseeable future. Every Tuesday we will launch a full-length episode of HR Works, and every Friday we’ll release our much shorter 5-Minute Friday episodes.

Way back in April of 2019 I spoke with today’s guest about virtual reality and sexual harassment. Some things have changed since then (I’m looking at you the pandemic), some things are the same (I’m looking at you ineffective sexual harassment training). Either way, we are very pleased to with us again today Morgan Mercer. Morgan is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Vantage Point (https://www.tryvantagepoint.com/), an organization that strives to leverage virtual reality immersive technology to tackle complex training challenges, such as sexual harassment training and diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.
