Paycom’s Tiffany McGowen and Jennifer Mathew join host Morgan Beard to discuss talent acquisition in an ever-changing marketplace.

McGowen, Paycom’s vice president of talent acquisition, shared similar sentiments regarding the future of hiring. “Just seek first to understand, and then build your strategy to react and react quickly, but don't overreact,” she said.
With so much unknown, it’s essential to be proactive with talent acquisition management, but finding a starting point can be challenging.

Initiatives geared toward promoting diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) are increasingly vital to a business’s success.
Philanthropist and award-winning actor Hill Harper says, “We are only as good as the person who doesn’t feel heard, who feels marginalized, who is not experiencing pay equity, who doesn’t have their holiday celebrated, who doesn’t even have their holiday acknowledged, who’s told to hide parts of themselves.”
DEIB efforts are at the forefront of many human resource professionals’ minds. But how do we make sure we’re supporting these goals year-round?
In this episode of HR Break Room, Hill Harper will discuss:
methods to build a culture with empathy and understanding how to build trust and open communication throughout a workforce the value of perspective in order to live fulfilled lives in the workplace

Ravin Jesuthasan, futurist, author and human capital thought leader
With competition in the labor market at an all-time high, it’s essential that an organization’s culture attracts and retains in-demand talent to achieve and maintain success. Therefore, HR must innovate, evolve and reinvent its processes to create an experience that meets the demand of today’s employees. In order to remain competitive, having the tools candidates expect isn’t just an option — it’s essential!
According to futurist Ravin Jesuthasan, the function of HR is shifting from its traditional role as a steward of employment to a steward of work. With new technologies, HR is empowered to reshape the work experience for every employee companywide; in doing so, HR will sit alongside business leaders to orchestrate new work ecosystems and organizational structures.
In this episode of HR Break Room®, Jesuthasan joins host Caleb Masters to consider:
how the digital transformation and democratization of work are reshaping the
requirements of HR HR’s evolving role in enhancing the employer brand and overall employee experience the importance of leveraging new HR technology to enhance workflow and streamline processes To learn more about how the right HR tech can enable HR to reinvent its purpose within an organization, read our blog post, “Conquering Turnover Through Effective HR Tech.”

Steve Boese, HR Technology Conference program chair and HR Happy Hour podcast co-host
Last year forced many employees to engage with workplace technology more than ever before. As a result, top candidates are paying close attention to the tech potential employers provide employees. With the U.S. Department of Labor reporting more than 10.4 million open jobs in September, the competition for talent is heated. In order to remain competitive, having the tools candidates expect in today’s business environment is essential.
It’s not enough, however, for an employer to just implement new tech; they have to ensure these tools are accessible, are stress-free and provide meaningful value.
