"I get to be in a group with peers in a safe place with trust, (I) can bring challenges... and get ideas on how to find solutions.
They're my go-to... they've been a true resource to me, ... coming back to this group & hearing what others are doing really gave me ideas ... to take back & implement in our org..."

Terry Snodgrass, senior HR partner, Access Healthcare Services.

Terry Snodgrass:
So as a senior HR partner, how the HR Mastermind group has benefited me and the organization, it's really benefited me, first and foremost, for the past, I've been with the organization for four years, since the inception. And I feel like I've grown tremendously over the course of this time. And I've stretched. I've definitely seen opportunities for growth, both personally and professionally.

Terry Snodgrass:
How it's helped me translate that into my organization is just being able to be around other individuals that are going through either similar experiences or bring that true diversity of thought that is helping me to think differently and to show up differently and also think about how that would translate into my organization.

Terry Snodgrass:
So for someone that's considering joining HR Mastermind, I would say definitely, definitely join. It's been a fantastic opportunity for me. I've been with this...

My name is Jonathan Mayes. I'm Senior Vice President and Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer for Albertsons Companies.

Jonathan Mayes:
So what would I say to someone who is evaluating whether to come next year? I would say come and here's several reasons why. First of all, just the networking, I mean, just the amazing people I have met today, highly skilled in what they do. Second is just the content of the presentations, I think can just help lift your whole game with regard to all things HR. Third is inspiration. I mean, just coming, just to meet people who can also kind of put wind in your sails. I think those and other reasons are reasons why I would strongly recommend that you come.

Jonathan Mayes:
So one key takeaway I want to share today is just one to acknowledge that bias is real. It's really hard, if not impossible, to completely overcome, but there's hope. And I'm going to share some tools to help people identify bias and also to combat bias.

Jonathan Mayes:
So...

About the VLOG:

I have been hearing so much about how Talent Acquisition is a huge challenge today for HR leaders and how TA teams are burning out and can't keep up.

So, I recorded a quick 16 minute vlog about the high-level strategies that helped me when we were loosing revenue because we didn't have the talent and the techniques we used to turn things around and even have an amazing pipeline of talent to choose from over time.

• We decreased time to hire from 3 months to 2 weeks and
• Turnover numbers plummeted from 50% to 9% because we had actual slates to pick from (and...

If you are an HR leader, you don't need headlines to tell you how hard it is to retain and attract talent today or that the employees are winning (and that's good news!).

But the change that is required isn’t just more flexibility or more perks - it might require a complete overhaul of your organization's culture. If that's the case, you don't want to miss watching this vlog post.

Our HR Mastermind Groups had the privilege a couple of years ago to have Paul Hoffman, the CHRO of Hunt Consolidated come in and share their journey on how they created an amazing culture even with such global and diverse businesses and now we have made an edited version available to our community.

So when this article was posted by one of our HR Circle Facebook members it completely hit home and I couldn’t have described the state of HR any better…

“After 18 months of unrelenting change, HR is burned out, too” 

Here are excerpts from the article..

“...there’s simply too much work to be able to fully step away and prioritize their (HR’s) wellbeing.”

“...(HR leaders) helping companies shift to remote work....drafted every type of business update and filtered down messages from the top, oftentimes bearing the brunt of negative feedback from employees.”

“The competition puts more pressure on HR to make sure their organization is offering the best and most attractive benefits, including...

As organizations start bringing corporate events back and are trying to capture the hearts and minds of employees it is important to get the message and delivery right.

Today we interview Stephanie Weaver a public speaking coach since 2011and curator for TEDxSanDiego and organizes TED-style corporate events.

Stephanie shares what she sees organizations do to help their sr. executives deliver engaging and compelling messages in corporate events , customer events and town-halls.  Whether the executives fall in the "I don't need help" or "I hate public speaking" camp they all can benefit from a coach.

She shares with us the different types of talks beyond TED style talks and a framework for HR leaders to help their execs deliver more compelling and engaging communications to their employees and customers.
