DriveThruHR - HR Conversations DriveThru HR

HR professionals are often (or should be) the conscience of their organizations; serving as a guide while promoting appropriate and ethical behavior. Sometimes though the road is rocky and HR professionals misstep - whether through ignorance or, sadly, through indifference.

Join us for a provocative conversation with Janine Truitt (@MzJanineNicole) of Talent Think Innovations as we discuss how the HR community (and individual practiioners) can best confront and challenge the legacy thinking and actions around racism and sexism that, unfortunately, surface in far too many activities and interactions. 

It's 2020...it's time to be better. 

In the world of Talent Acquisition (and attraction!), providing a clear and compelling message to candidates has never been more critical for organizations that want to differentiate themselves. 

Join us for a lively and informative discussion with Elena Valentine of Skill Scout  when we discuss the foundations of effective storytelling and explore how the use of video can enhance the experience.

 

 

Join Michael and Robin as we discuss how health insurance costs businesses nearly $20,000 per employee, crushing the bottom lines of small businesses and putting a cap on wages that should be going up in the booming economy.

Chad DeFriece, a general manager at In-Line Packaging Systems Inc., a small North Charleston, SC manufacturing company, was sick of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on his self-funded health plan while seeing very little management of cost through the normal healthcare delivery channels. Chad knew there had to be a better way to deliver quality healthcare to employees and decrease costs.

Chad reached out to Tom DiLiegro, President of Benefits Advisors of Charleston, who builds employee benefits plans using the principles of the Health Rosetta, an open-source blueprint for better benefits.

Working together, Chad and Tom are saving In-Line Packaging more than $200K in health spending. At the same time, Chad was able to increase employee incentives, rival with larger competitors (like Volvo and Boeing), decrease employer liability, and cover 100% of the cost of primary care. 

We will be discussing:

Join us as Robin and Mike talk with Pam Culpepper of Have Her Back about Gender Equity in the workplace.

As the two-year anniversary of the #Metoo movement arrives, only 15% of women believe that the movement has had an impact on their workplace, career, and opportunities in general, according to a nationwide survey conducted by Have Her Back Consulting, a women-owned and led culture consultancy. 

The findings suggest that despite culture’s demand to advance equity for women, few companies have actually taken specific actions to change corporate culture. Perhaps most telling, 55% of respondents said the impact of #Metoo has been felt more on society and culture, while only 28% said it has had an equal impact on them, personally.

According to respondents, very few companies have taken actions to counter the issues that #MeToo identified. When asked what initiatives their employers have verbally committed to, 37% of respondents said “sexual harassment training” followed by 31% who said, “nothing.” When asked what actions were actually taken, 37% of respondents said “nothing” and only 28% said sexual harassment prevention training programs were conducted in their workplace.

We'll talk about:
