I give around 50 keynotes a year around the world to various organizations and conferences in all sorts of industries. One of the things that people always tell me after my talks is that they want more. How can they go beyond a 45-60 minute keynote to really grasp the concepts of employee experience? […]
When you think of the flashiest and sexiest departments in your organization, what do you think of? It’s probably not HR or IT, but as the workplace continues to change, these two areas are right in the middle of the evolution, making them two of the best places to be. […]
I am constantly amazed at the size of human resource teams that companies continue to have. The small amount of resources that HR people and talent related functions receive, especially at massive global organizations, is quite shocking! In an organization with 50-100 thousand employees or more, it is not uncommon for the HR team to be only 100 or so people to support all of those employees.

HR practitioners should be working closer with CIOs and IT teams to determine what technologies make the most sense in their organization. CIOs and IT teams need to begin looking beyond the features of technology to the needs of employees that will be using the technology. […]

HR is at a complete turning point! It is the most ripe for disruption and change. The entire role is changing into a department that engages employees and creates and environment where employees want to show up, not where they just need to show up. […]
