    Human Resources In A Toxic Work Environment

    Are you trying to do HR in a toxic work environment? That's haard. You might see that things are not right and see that people aren't being held accountable for awful behaviour. Perhaps you feel a bit trapped in your job and can't switch and yet you don't have the power to really do anything about the problem. At this point, it's probably a long game and my guest has so much great advice. So much. Dr. Kevin Sansberry started in HR as an HR Advisor. Then he worked his way up to being Assistant Vice Chancellor of HR. Then he went off and did his own thing including a TedX presentation, consulting, executive coaching and the Toxic Leadership Podcast. I was delighted by the insight he had into tough HR issues - such as toxicity. You can tell that he has deep experience in HR. This is a fraction of the insight he shared: - As we discussed in a separate video, toxicity is an easy label, but rarely describes actual behaviour. - You are not without power even as an HR advisor. - You can change things, but need to think strategically. - Toxicity has its roots in culture. Focusing on anything else will be a bandaid fix. It was a fantastic discussion. One of the best if you are in HR.

    Understanding Microaggressions

    Microaggressions in the workplace continue to be hard to understand. I was involved in an investigation a while back alleging microaggressions and I was uncertain. So when I had the opportunity to clarify I did. I spoke with Sara Taylor who has been a DEI expert for a long time. She started her company, deepSEE Consulting in 2002. She has authored two books including, recently, 'Thinking at the Speed of Bias'. She has been a Chief Diversity Officer. She was on my panel discussion around DEI and it was wonderful to talk to her about this because I am a lot more clear now. 😳 Microaggressions are unintentional. 😔 We often apologize for hurting people unintentionally. Why not also apologize for a thoughtless assumption? 🧑🏽 Microaggressions are based on someone's identity (race, ethnicity, religion, gender, etc) 😇 Microaggressions are not about bad people doing mean things. 👿 If someone is deliberately mean based on any of those areas, it's bullying and harassment. I'm so much clearer now and it makes sense. There was so much to learn about from Sara's perspective and if you've been wondering, you won't after this discussion. Or at least you will wonder less. Find Sara Taylor at https://www.deepseeconsulting.com/ or on LinkedIn. You can find her books wherever you buy them starting with the most recent: Thinking at the Speed of Bias: How to Shift our Unconscious Filters Filter Shift: How Effective People See the World Find me, Andrea Adams, for small and medium business consulting and HR project management at https:/thehrhub.ca

    Wellness At Work - What Actually Helps Employees

    Has a wellness program ever had a positive effect on your well-being? To what degree? I participated in wellness programs - pilates and a free gym. But I was already so active, that the impact was meagre at best. It would be hard to say I was more well after that. What about you? That was the subject this week in my discussion with Tim Borys - fitness enthusiast, coach, wellness expert, author, and keynote speaker. We discuss whether or not corporate wellness programs are making a difference to our wellbeing. And, more importantly, how organizations can create more wellbeing. 💪 Wellness programs tend to be surface level - yoga and gyms. Not meaningless but also not that powerful. 🗯️ As the video says below, wellness programs will be totally pointless if your boss is an a*h*. ⚕️We're aiming for wellbeing and that concept extends to all the systems and people in the workplace. 🕺🏻If Tim had $100,000 to invest in creating wellbeing at work, I suspect he would 90% on leadership development. 🔬Leadership development programs are often too tactical to cover topics related to well-being. What are the goals of your leadership development program? Are you doing an adequate job of training leaders on concepts related to well-being? This was a thought-provoking chat around wellness - what works and what doesn't. Check it out! Find Tim at https://timborys.com/ or on LinkedIn Find Andrea (me) at https://thehrhub.ca

    Skills Based Organization - Easier Upskilling & Reskilling

    This episode was supposed to be about upskilling and reskilling exclusively... but we quickly talked about the skills-based organization because that is where upskilling and reskilling start. You have to know what skills you are trying to build! I had THE best person for this discussion IMO. My guest was Lori Niles-Hofman. Lori hosts an upskilling course on LinkedIn Learning. She describes herself as an EdTech and AI Transformation Strategist. She is an author having written The Eight Levers of EdTech Transformation which will be published this spring. She has also been an L&D leader for big organizations. Her command of the big picture and the details was impressive. This discussion was full of new ways of thinking: - A skills based organization moves away from discussions about job titles to discussions around particular skills. - People might be paid based on skills rather than job title. - Upskilling and reskilling become a lot easier when we focus on individual skills as opposed to a large set of skills as is common on an L&D program - Her clients focus on a limited number of skills as they move towards a skills-based organization - You might start with ONE skill. Her insight was so precise - it was amazing. And it was different, Lori is not afraid to consider new ways of doing things! Check out the sponsor for this episode! iSpring Solutions! https://www.ispringsolutions.com/ They have offered discount codes (good until the end of 2025) as follows: 'ANDREA-SUITE' - For purchasing iSpring Suite with a 10% discount.

    Accountability: What gets done and HOW it gets done

    HR is often asked to help increase accountability in the workplace. Because people just aren't doing their jobs they way they are supposed to! We often think it's because they don't care. Sometimes that's the case, but other times they just don't care about the impact they're having on others. I spoke to Mitch Warner, Managing Partner of the Arbinger Institute. Things got a little uncomfortable for me - but I guess that's when the learning happens right? He talks about an aspect of accountability that we don't think about often. That is, the accountability to others so they get their work done. The impact on others is frequently overlooked. This episode will make you think - every once in a while I have a guest who turns a topic on their head and this was one of them and I was there for it! 💪 Accountability is about getting your job done - but not at the expense of the effectiveness of others! ☠️ This is sometimes described as toxicity, but this is kinder and more productive. 💡 He has specific tips for leaders on how they can get their employees to consider their impact. 🥱 For people who don't care... maybe they need a new job. This was inspiring - I love a new way to think about things! Check it out! Find Mitch and the Arbinger Institute at https://arbinger.com/ You can find their books (The Outward Mindset and Leadership and Self-Deception) anywhere you buy your books but also via their website: https://arbinger.com/store/ Find me, Andrea Adams at https://thehrhub.ca/ or connect with me on LinkedIn!

    HR Trends 2025 - What The Research Says

    I figure we are mostly looking for the truth. And while 'truth' is hard to find, some things bring us closer. Like research. Also it's 2025. What HR debates are we still working through in our hunt for truth? This was the focus of my discussion with Dr. Catherine Connelly. Catherine is a leading HR researcher with a passion for research. When I asked Chat GPT for a 'future of HR' expert, her name was one of the top three. She is a Professor and Business Research Chair in Organizational Behaviour, in the Human Resources and Management department of the DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University plus many other qualifications. We talked about: - Hybrid & remote work. I was hoping to settle the debate once and for all, but it's much more nuanced. Are you surprised? - AI - it continues to be biased because it trains on our data. Which has bias baked in. We'll have to audit but even if we could get totally unbiased AI, we still have biased people in our organizations (see the video below). - Employee Experience - We need to focus on the basics. - A theme running through our discussion was the much maligned middle manager. They are critical to success in a lot of this. I hope to try another of these episodes because I believe the pursuit of truth is a fundamental. It's like happiness: we'll work at it, but never quite get there. Still, it's a worthwhile and critical journey. We had an insightful conversation... check it out!

    2024 Retrospective

    Happy end of 2024! I learn so much from the guests on my show. And so does Angela Nguyen of the Leadership Within Podcast. So we joined forces to discuss what we learned this year!

    Steps In Talent Acquisition: Preparation Is Key

    The #1 reason hiring fails? Not treating recruitment like the project it really is. So project mistake are you guilty of maybe: Not revisiting the job description? Forgetting to ask the client if they'll be on vacation (I've done this one)? Not pushing back when client says the want the talent but don't want to pay? Mostly we just need to treat recruitment like a project. Meet with the client, set the goals, check in when goals aren't being bet etc etc. My guest this week, Wendy Sellers aka The HR Lady dropped more truth bombs about what it really takes to attract top talent in 2024. She's hilariously outspoken so it's unlikely you'll misunderstand anything she says. Wendy is an author, podcast host, and plain spoken HR expert. She has been featured in USA Today and even has radio show. Completely 'on brand' she wrote a book for HR called "Suck It Up, Buttercup". Really! And in this discussion she brought her practical, no-fluff approach to talent attraction. Some other insights 🎯 Recruitment is 50% marketing and 50% HR. This is probably why another guest though recruitment should be part of marketing. 💰 If you want a less expensive employee, you'll probably have to train them. You'll have to pay anyhow. 💰 If you want top talent... you'll have to pay. 📋 You need to look at the job description. 🎯 Sometimes you need a bum in a seat. Even so, there are strategies. It was full of the basics of getting the job done right. Which too often aren't done right. Check out the full conversation! Find Wendy on her podcast or YouTube channel The HR Lady!
