    #211 - How Soft Skills Are Shaping Tomorrow’s Roles

    We are living in what one CHRO recently called “an era with no destination.” Jobs are evolving, technology is accelerating, and the rules of career progression are being rewritten in real time. In this forward-looking conversation, executive recruiter and career strategist Becky Heidesch joins us to unpack what AI, automation, and digital acceleration really mean for the workforce, especially for leaders and ambitious professionals trying to stay relevant. Becky opens with a bold reality: over the next five years, millions of jobs are projected to change or disappear. Is this a crisis moment or a reinvention moment? Her answer: both. For those who lean in, upskill, and embrace the tools, it is an unprecedented opportunity. For those who resist or delay, it can quickly become disruptive. We explore: • Why AI is coming for tasks, not people  • How automation can elevate human interaction instead of replacing it  • The growing digital skills divide across generations  • Why learning must become continuous, not episodic  • How leaders can prepare teams for roles that do not yet exist Becky shares her STEEP Qualifications Framework, focusing on Skills, Tools, Education, Experience, and Personal qualifications as a practical way to manage career growth. Her message is clear: you must get in the driver’s seat of your own career. One of the most compelling ideas in this episode is her “three-career strategy.” Instead of betting your future on a single lane, she encourages professionals to stack skills and think in phases. What you want in your 20s may not serve you in your 50s. Building multiple streams of income and developing adaptable capabilities creates resilience in uncertain markets. We also tackle education reform, corporate training, and the need to shift from memorization to comprehension. In a world where information is instantly accessible, competitive advantage shifts to adaptability, curiosity, and execution. This episode is not about fear. It is about agency. If you want to future-proof your career in the next 90 days, Becky’s advice is simple and powerful: get clear on your direction and start aligning your resources accordingly. AI is accelerating change. The question is not whether disruption is coming. The question is whether you are preparing for it. Be sure to check the show notes for Becky’s book, The Career Masterclass for Women. From Our Sponsor(s)...

    #210 - Medicare Cuts, Nursing Home Deregulation & The Death of the Wellness App

    In this week’s News Drop, we unpack three developments that could directly impact provider compensation, skilled nursing operations, and your employee benefits strategy. 💸 CMS Efficiency Shockwave The 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule is now hitting balance sheets, and the fallout is real. CMS finalized a 2.5% efficiency adjustment cut, alongside major practice expense reductions for facility-based specialists. According to AMA analysis, hospital-employed oncologists could see revenue drops of 10–20%, with infectious disease physicians facing 5% cuts for performing the same work. The federal push is clear: shift care away from hospital-owned settings toward independent practices. HR Risk: If specialist compensation models are tied strictly to wRVUs or gross revenue, Q1 bonuses could trigger unexpected pay reductions. ⚠️ RN Optional: Skilled Nursing Deregulation A major federal shift quietly went live in February: the repeal of the 24/7 RN mandate in skilled nursing facilities. While operators argue this expands access in rural markets, the on-the-ground reaction has been anxiety and resistance. LPNs and CNAs now face overnight shifts managing high-acuity residents without RN support. Some are threatening to quit rather than risk license exposure. Legal permission does not equal market permission. Action: If you operate post-acute facilities, do not let finance dictate overnight staffing. Pulse check your night shift teams immediately and market RN coverage as a competitive differentiator. 📉 The Death of the Wellness App Q1 2026 utilization data tells a clear story: fragmented wellness apps, generic EAPs, and point solutions are dramatically underused. Meanwhile, medical trend rates are rising nearly 10%. The era of benefit expansion is ending. The new mandate is intentional design. You cannot fix burnout with a yoga app if the nurse has unsafe staffing ratios and poor leadership. HR Strategy Shift: • Audit vendor utilization now • Cut solutions with sub-5% adoption • Reallocate spend to scheduling tools, AI-driven admin relief, and frontline leadership training Fix the work, not the worker. 🔎 This Week’s 3 Mission-Critical Moves Audit specialist compensation projections.Reassure LPNs and CNAs about staffing models.Review wellness vendor utilization and reallocate funds strategically.From Our Sponsor(s)...

    #209 - Well-Being Strategies Any Health Organization Can Use

    Recorded live at AdventHealth, this episode explores what it truly means to operationalize employee wellbeing at scale — and why it cannot live inside a single benefits line item. Kristin Duquaine, Executive Director of Employee Wellbeing, and Sarah Hawkins, Senior Manager of Employee Wellbeing, share how AdventHealth embedded wellbeing into its brand promise of “Feel Whole,” translating it into strategy, structure, and measurable impact. Wellbeing Is Not a Program — It’s a System In many healthcare organizations, wellbeing is folded into an EAP or buried in the health plan. At AdventHealth, it has dedicated leadership, executive visibility, and cross-functional integration. Kristin, a nurse with nearly three decades at AdventHealth, explains how her clinical experience shaped her belief that holistic wellbeing — mind, body, and spirit — drives long-term outcomes. That philosophy now informs systemwide workforce strategy. Measuring What Matters Wellbeing ROI rarely shows up in Year 1. The team is building a centralized data strategy to evaluate engagement, health risk movement, chronic condition outcomes, mental health impact, and differences across workforce segments. The goal is not participation alone — it is bending long-term workforce stability curves. The Health Champion Multiplier A cornerstone of the strategy is the Health Champion Network: 2,800 volunteer team members advocating for wellbeing within their departments. Key insight: volunteers, not “voluntold.” Champions are culture carriers and influencers. Departments with champions show significantly higher engagement in wellbeing programs. For smaller hospitals without dedicated FTEs, this offers a scalable model: build a grassroots network, equip them with tools, and multiply impact without adding headcount. Advice for Smaller HR Teams If you only have a few hours a week: • Make communication consistent, not episodic. • Tap natural influencers inside departments. • Integrate wellbeing into daily leader messaging. Wellbeing is not about marathons or meal plans. It is about helping people see themselves in the solution. This episode proves scale and humanity can coexist — when leadership commits to both.

    #208 - From Picket Lines to Basements:

    In this episode, we track three major developments shaping healthcare HR strategy right now: a catastrophic escalation in the Kaiser strike, a growing middle management collapse, and a new IRS benefit that could fast-track your workforce into the AI era. 🔥 Segment 1: The Engine Room Walkout Kaiser Permanente’s strike has entered week four — and it just escalated again. More than 500 licensed operating engineers have joined the 31,000 nurses already on the picket line. These are not bedside roles. These are the professionals who run high-pressure boilers, electrical grids for life support, and HVAC systems that keep surgical suites sterile. Travel nurses can backfill clinical gaps. You cannot easily replace licensed engineers. Many require state-specific credentials, meaning you cannot simply “fly someone in.” When facilities teams walk out, hospitals face an operational single point of failure. HR takeaway: Go to the basement. Meet your facilities leaders. Ensure wages are competitive. Build relationships before leverage shifts. ⚠️ Segment 2: The Middle Management Vacuum A new report highlights an alarming trend: nurse managers, directors, and VPs are resigning at unprecedented rates. Some nurse managers are carrying 200+ direct reports. That is not leadership — that is survival mode. At the same time, younger generations are signaling less interest in traditional leadership roles. Organizations face a critical question: Do we defend outdated management structures — or reimagine them? AI may remove administrative burden. But span-of-control audits and leadership redesign must happen now. HR takeaway: Pull a report this week. Identify your most overburdened managers. Schedule 15-minute check-ins. Rebalance before collapse forces your hand. 🤖 Segment 3: The IRS AI Subsidy Here’s the quiet headline of the week: the IRS just expanded guidance allowing employer-provided AI literacy and skill development to qualify as tax-free working condition fringe benefits (Publication 15-B). Translation: You may be able to subsidize AI training for your workforce — tax-advantaged. In a world where payers are deploying AI to accelerate claim reviews and denials, providers must move just as fast. HR takeaway: Audit your tuition and fringe benefit programs. Explore AI skill development as both a retention tool and recruitment differentiator. From Our Sponsor(s)...

    #207 - How to Show Up Authentic

    Building Your Personal Brand Without Losing Your Professional Edge, featuring Susie Jamerson, Chief People Officer of Corporate Services, AdventHealth Recorded live in Altamonte Springs, Florida, this episode brings real energy, real conversation, and real leadership insight. Susie Jamerson returns to the podcast, and this time, the conversation goes deep into something every healthcare leader is navigating right now: How do you show up authentically online without compromising your professional brand? 🌟 Authenticity vs. Professionalism – Is It Really a Debate? Social media has evolved. LinkedIn is no longer just a digital résumé. It’s becoming a conversation, a window into values, motivation, and leadership style. Susie shares how she intentionally built a public-facing social presence rooted in growth, inspiration, and positivity—while staying mindful of her executive role. Her guiding principle? Show your whole self. Just do it with intention. She opens up about: Balancing personal expression with career responsibilityLetting team members choose whether to connect on social mediaWhy authenticity builds trust instead of eroding authorityHow leaders can reduce generational anxiety by being more human🔥 Why This Matters for Healthcare Leaders Healthcare HR professionals often carry the reputation of being “stuffy” or rule-driven. Susie challenges that narrative. By allowing people to see the human behind the title, leaders can: Build deeper trust with teamsStrengthen psychological safetyImprove connection across five workforce generationsEnhance engagement without sacrificing professionalismLuke adds a powerful perspective from talent acquisition: Younger generations do not separate personal and professional identity the same way previous generations did. Trying to force that separation can create unnecessary tension and anxiety. 💡 Final Reflection If you want to grow as a leader in today’s healthcare environment, consider this: What is your creative outlet?What consistent thread defines your brand?Are you showing up the same way everywhere—or hiding parts of yourself?Authenticity, when done intentionally, strengthens leadership. It does not weaken it. Recorded live. Real conversation. Real leadership. From Our Sponsor(s)... Optimize Pharmacy Benefits with RxBenefits Elevate your employee benefits while managing costs.

    #206 - Strike Escalation and Scope Reversal in Healthcare

    This Monday News Drop covers three developments that should be squarely on every healthcare HR leader’s radar. 📉 Segment 1: NCLEX Pass Rates Dip The 2025 NCLEX pass rate dropped to 69.1%, down from 69.7% in 2024. On paper, that’s a 0.6% decline. In reality? Nearly 100,000 nursing graduates did not pass. In a nation already facing a nursing shortage, even fractional declines matter. The exam is the entry gate into practice. Fewer passes = fewer nurses entering the workforce pipeline. Additional concerns: First-time pass rate: 86%Repeat pass rate: 52%International repeat pass rate: 30%The question isn’t whether the test should be rigorous. It should. The question is how we support those who fall short and how we preserve the pipeline. HR takeaway: Monitor your license-pending hires closely. Retesting timelines matter. Retention of near-pass candidates matters even more. ✊ Segment 2: Kaiser Strike Expands Over 3,000 pharmacy techs and clinical lab scientists have joined the 31,000 nurses already on strike. Hospitals can run painfully with travel nurses. They cannot function without pharmacy and lab. This expansion underscores a core truth: every role in healthcare is part of the same operational chain. Break one link, the whole system strains. HR takeaway: Don’t ignore ancillary departments. Schedule listening sessions with lab and pharmacy leaders. Engagement in those groups may be the difference between stability and operational gridlock. ⚖️ Segment 3: Scope Snapback & Payer Pressure New Jersey’s pandemic-era practice flexibilities for APNs and PAs have expired. Advanced practice clinicians must now return to formal collaborative agreements with supervising physicians. Autonomy walked forward during COVID. It just walked backward. Simultaneously, Cigna announced 2,000 global layoffs, while PeaceHealth cut hospice nurses and clinical staff. 🚨 This Week’s Three Priorities Ancillary Check-In: Visit lab and pharmacy teams. Listen early.Scope Audit: Verify collaborative agreements and compliance.Denial Prep: Prepare billing teams for potential payer shifts.From Our Sponsor(s)...

    #205 - Leading Talent Through Change

    In this episode, Luke Carignan sits down with Kelly Trummer, AVP of Talent Acquisition at Wellstar Health System, to unpack what’s next for healthcare recruiting in a rapidly evolving workforce landscape.  With prior experience at Yale New Haven Health and Southcoast Health, she brings a national perspective on what’s changing—and what must change—inside healthcare TA.  For Kelly, talent acquisition in healthcare is about direct impact. Every hire affects patient care. That purpose continues to fuel her work and leadership approach.  The Post-Pandemic Reality  The workforce challenge has shifted. We are no longer hiring our way out of shortages in nursing, imaging, and therapeutic roles. Instead, organizations must rethink strategy:  • Develop internal pipelines • Engage future talent earlier • Reduce friction in recruiting processes • Compete in an increasingly tight labor market  AI Is Not Replacing Recruiters  One of the most powerful themes of the conversation: AI is not eliminating recruiters—it is elevating them.  By removing administrative burdens, automation allows recruiters to focus on what matters most: relationship building, intentional conversations, and strategic workforce planning.  However, adoption requires balance. Healthcare organizations must bridge generational divides in comfort with AI while ensuring candidate experiences remain human-centered and frictionless.  The recruiter of the future? Agile, relationship-driven, and technologically fluent.  Differentiation in a Crowded Market  For Wellstar, competitive advantage comes down to how the organization treats its people. Total rewards, wellbeing programs, and individualized career paths are not just benefits—they are differentiators.  Kelly reinforces that talent acquisition leaders must invest in their own teams and build peer networks across the industry. Collaboration, not isolation, will define success in the years ahead.  Final Advice for TA Leaders  • Plug into your national healthcare TA network  • Invest in your people  • Build internal pipelines early  • Stay agile  • Embrace change proactively  The future of healthcare talent acquisition will belong to leaders who move early, think long-term, and bring others with them.  From Our Sponsor(s)...

    #204 - Telehealth, Strikes, and International Nurse Visa Progress

    Healthcare HR leaders finally get a moment to exhale, but the work is far from over. In this week’s Monday News Drop, Bo Brabo, Luke Carignan, and ASHHRA President & CEO Jeremy Sadlier break down three critical developments shaping workforce strategy, compliance, and recruiting right now.  Segment 1: The 11th-Hour Telehealth Save Congress narrowly avoided the telehealth cliff. The Healthcare Access and Modernization Act of 2026 has been signed, extending Medicare telehealth flexibilities through December 31, 2027. Patients can continue receiving care from home, but new guardrails are in place. Starting in Q2, CMS will conduct quarterly audits of providers billing more than 50% of visits via telehealth. HR takeaway: Release February 1 claims, but immediately flag high-volume telehealth providers and refresh documentation protocols to prepare for increased scrutiny.  Segment 2: Kaiser Strike Enters Week Two The Kaiser Permanente labor dispute continues to escalate. With more than 2,000 travel nurses deployed to maintain operations, unions have filed unfair labor practice charges, arguing replacement workers are being paid double what staff nurses requested. Tensions are rising, and public perception is becoming a key pressure point. HR reality check: The hardest work comes after the strike ends. Rebuilding trust, preventing “us vs. them” culture, and aligning leadership, HR, and labor relations will define long-term outcomes.  Segment 3: The Visa Surprise The State Department’s February 2026 Visa Bulletin delivered unexpected good news. EB-3 priority dates for nurses from the Philippines and India advanced nearly nine months, opening a rare window to accelerate international hiring. Strategic guidance: Speed matters, but ethics matter more. Vet international recruitment partners carefully, ensure compliance with ethical standards, and invest in structured onboarding and community integration to support long-term retention.  This Week’s Priorities: • Green-light telehealth billing while preparing for CMS audits • Monitor labor activity and cultural risk inside union environments • Accelerate international nurse pipelines with integrity and structure  Healthcare HR is no longer reacting to disruption. It is shaping what comes next.  From Our Sponsor(s)... Optimize Pharmacy Benefits with RxBenefits Elevate your employee benefits while managing costs.
