Social learning is everywhere around us – in short, bursty ideas that simultaneously draw us in and distract us from whatever we were intending to accomplish. It also brings us together across the digital divide. It’s time to embrace quality peer-to-peer exchange and shared insights…
Employer brands and personal brands – is alignment required? Should employers strive to promote a fit? And what is a good balance – for better or worse? We’ll explore these issues and more at #TChat this week…
If it wasn’t for those pesky, messy, meddling humans, the world of work would actually work flawlessly. We’d work together happily and collaboratively, without deceit,
In today’s increasingly informal work environment, what’s the most appropriate want to bring new hires and contractors into the fold? How can you make a lasting first impression, and support new hires throughout their indoctrination?
It’s no secret that organizational cultures have been hurting in recent years. But how can we expect culture to flourish on diminishing investment in the “human” side of business? And how long can HR wave its magic wand until business leaders reinforce culture at its foundations? #TChat sparked some serious questions…
Is it time for chief culture officers to emerge in the workplace? Is this what it will take to provide a bridge between executive leadership, business culture and an increasingly disaffected workforce? That’s what was on our minds at TalentCulture this week…
Once I dipped my toe into the Twitter pool, I knew there was no turning back. And now here I am one year later, writing the recap for the very chat that indoctrinated me into the social world of work…
Business is messy – and it’s only getting messier. So perhaps that’s where HR can truly make a difference today – to know the business, staff the business, teach the business and grow the business – all predicated on managing the messy yet mingled bad with the good. We can lead the way in helping business learn from its mistakes…
Human Resources…what does it mean to most people in today’s workplace? HR is usually seen less a curators of workplace culture and more as the police brought in to direct traffic or quell a riot. So how do we change it up? What can we do to add value?
I’d like to talk about several pet theories about employer/employee relationships. First, employees work to make money. Second, it’s Maslow’s world, and we just live in it. So what does this mean for the world of work? Let’s look closer…
Innovation and entrepreneurship, paired with good old-fashioned hard work, have created a new era of “fringe” benefits. But despite all the fancy tricks organizations offer these days, it seems like they may not get it. Recognition 101 = Listening.
Today’s work world is a tale of two job markets: It’s the best of times and the worst of times. While the “have nots” are merely hoping for a stable income (without any benefits), the “haves” are living large. That’s the focus of this week’s Extreme Perks, #TChat Edition…

Because we don’t blink here at TalentCulture, this seems like a good time to talk about the elephant in the room: job haves and have nots. But we are talent strategy professionals. It’s our job to think and talk about these things. So together, perhaps we can generate some solutions…
The world may be tired, but it’s time to get fired. Up that is. And we did this week, but just when we’re riding high
Is it really a small world after all when it comes to human capital management? Is it possible to balance a global workforce so it functions as one big happy team? Can domestic leadership spur international success? These are the questions we’ll ponder in the TalentCulture community…
“It seems to me, while it’s true that every dog will have his day — when all the bones are buried there is barely time
It’s an understatement to say that first contact with a recruiter can be stressful. Like a “close encounter” with a space alien – job applicants never really quite know what to expect. The ramifications can be profound – even if those consequences are unintended. So what can we, as talent-minded professionals, do to improve that first impression? How can we lead the way to better outcomes?
Most businesses around the world are small. Small businesses generate most new jobs. Most full-time and part-time jobs exist at larger companies. And all in between
