"Lower paid and unskilled workers were more at risk [of financial distress]." "Make sure you know what you need to do to recharge or renew... If you are just re-renewing in all of those areas, then that's actually going to make a difference."

"It's a difficult balancing act to get the messaging right” "The empathy is a difficult one as well because what you must steer clear of is trying to be too sympathetic and saying, isn't it awful?

"So they had a few hours in the morning to actually do the work. And that worked for everybody because they felt more in control." "But it's really tricky, though, for some people who are naturally unselfish or perfectionist because you're actually going against the grain almost." "So, you know, that's what I was going to say, it feels a bit meh sometimes, doesn't it? It's all a bit meh."

They discuss the challenges HR professionals face in understanding the possibilities of L&D, diagnosing training needs, and creating effective learning experiences. Katy provides practical tips and insights on designing training courses, maintaining energy, and incorporating different learning methods KEY TAKEAWAYS BEST MOMENTS "There's a lot of educating to do about what the art of the possible is with learning and development." "It's not a one size fits all. And I think sometimes we're doing ourselves, the participants and the businesses disservice if we just think, right, here's a one size fits all thing that everybody goes through in exactly the same way” "It's much harder to help people to explore and come to that realisation on their own through an activity or learning and then to draw that out and reinforce it and make sure that everybody gets that same learning, but they've got it more powerfully than you just telling” "It’s about engaging people before the workshop even starts. But it doesn't finish when it ends. We also need to be thinking about what next, how to follow up with people, how to support them, how VALUABLE RESOURCES The HR Uprising Podcast | Apple | Spotify | Stitcher The HR Uprising LinkedIn Group How to Prioritise Self-Care (The HR Uprising) How To Be A Change Superhero - by Lucinda Carney HR Uprising Mastermind - https://hruprising.com/mastermind/ www.changesuperhero.com www.hruprising.com Get your copy of How To Be A Change Superhero by emailing at info@actus.co.uk Email address: katy@makerealprogress.co.uk Website: https://makerealprogress.co.uk/ The Progress Place: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theprogressplace Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katy-walton-make-real-progress/ CONTACT METHOD https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13714397/Lucinda@advancechange.co.ukhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lucindacarney/HR podcast, The HR Uprising, Diversity, Equality & Inclusion, Learning and Development, Culture & Change: https://hruprising.com/hr-podcasts/

HR & AI - with Brandon Stevens

11/12/2023
Lucinda explores the topic of AI in HR with guest Brandon Stevens, founder and CEO of Scouter. They discuss the role of AI in recruitment and talent management, highlighting the challenges and limitations of current AI systems. Brandon also focusses upon the importance of accurate and comprehensive data inputs for AI to be truly predictive and prescriptive, introducing the concept of creating internal talent marketplaces and shifting from a position-based to a skills-based model. KEY TAKEAWAYS BEST MOMENTS "You cannot put a Band-Aid on this and truly fix it. Also, simultaneously, any AI that is true AI, machine learning, natural language processing, will not work until this methodology is transformed." "The younger demographic have a different expectation of experience. They come from a much more engaged world. And again, not everyone's the same. But my point is that the demographic challenge, not only are we producing less talent, if you will." "You have to introduce this and get buy-in, obviously, from leadership down to your employees. But in HR, I always start to look at this because simultaneously what this actually does as well is it consolidates your HR tech stack, right?" "Make no mistake, this will be standard procedure within the decade. I think educating yourself around this as a human resource leader is the number one thing you should do, is get a better understanding about what's coming and how to prepare for it."

"Often people will feel really frustrated like I really wanted to get an HR strategy or a people plan done this year but I just don't seem to have done it because I'm constantly busy throughout the day." "I think you've absolutely hit the nail on the head. That's probably the one key message I would love everyone to take away for their careers, which is you have way more control than you realise a lot of the time” "So often it can take a little bit of bravery if they're really finding this person challenging. Actually one of the really good solutions is to start investing more time in, start investing, spending more time with that person and really getting to know them."

10/29/2023
Lucinda is joined by HR expert Jim Moore from Hamilton Nash, who discusses the challenging task of conducting investigations into tricky people problems. Jim shares his experiences and provides valuable insights and tips for HR professionals and managers who may find themselves in the position of investigating sensitive allegations or grievances. From dealing with high-profile cases to navigating the balance of probability, Jim emphasises the importance of creating a safe and inclusive culture, training investigators, and seeking external support when necessary. KEY TAKEAWAYS BEST MOMENTS "There's no formula, there's no algorithm. And so you really can get into diagnosing what went on, figuring out what the narrative is, how did we get to where we are, and hopefully trying to find a route to resolution." "Most of the things that I get involved in typically involve very sensitive allegations and or very senior people… They need to have the perception of impartiality and independence." "As long as you tick all of those reasonable boxes, then yes, your actions would probably be supported." "One of the big problems with grievances and formal complaints is that there's a winner and a loser… The working relationship remains damaged. Someone always comes away unhappy."

10/22/2023
Lucinda is joined by Victoria Lewis-Stevens, MD at United Culture, to discuss the importance of purpose over perks in organisations.

Victoria shares her expertise in helping businesses articulate their culture and align it with their purpose, and talks about the role of line managers in driving engagement plus the need for organisations to invest time and effort in supporting and empowering them. KEY TAKEAWAYS BEST MOMENTS "You tend to get attracted to the brands and to the organisations that are out there talking about the difference they make in the world." "I think the secret and the key thing is it doesn't matter almost what the purpose, what the mission, what the values, what the strategy is of an organisation, it's how does the individual role connect to that." "I think most people, if they're engaged and they're in the organisation and they feel like their personal values reflect and support an organszation's purpose, most people are sensible enough to recognize, I can't have it my own way." "I think line managers and leaders are a very underserved community in large organisations with huge roles and huge influence."
