We ask the question… "Is your department a victim of organizational stereotyping?” Often, HR is seen as the beating stick, or disciplinarian, whose role is to enforce company policy. Well, it's time to rethink that notion When our guest Lydia Miller, CHRO at Children's Home Association took over HR, leadership had bigger plans. By empowering managers with the skills to lead, coach, and inspire, Lydia is helping establish HR as a true value-added strategic partner, charged with the betterment of the organization. We'll talk about that, plus how AAIM has helped Lydia on her way to where she is today!

AAIM goes for the gold with a Money Update that lines up the compensation trends of 2024, and imagines them racing down the track to predict what it might take to win in 2025. Phil hands the baton off to crowd favorite Mikey Mac who can flat out book it when it comes to getting out ahead of the competition and holding them off with strategies that deliver value to employees and employers alike. Learn to sprint past slowing inflation, hurdle over rising unemployment, and still hear the sweet sound of your company vision playing from the podium.

Staying ahead in the rapidly evolving landscape of leadership is key. And when you're choosing your path when it comes to developing your leaders, “Are you budgeting to train current team members or budgeting to replace them? Because as special guest Matt Wideman says, “you have to do one or the other.” This week, with Phil and Matt's help, we introduce insights from Gartner research and cover real world success stories from AAIM members who are on the cutting edge of developing their people.  Plus, Burt will cover what you need to know regarding California's fast food minimum wage increase.

In an era where conversations about AI replacing jobs are everywhere, it's natural to feel anxious about robots taking over. But there's more to the story. This week, AAIM member Nicole Koblesky from the Rock River Valley Blood Center joins us with her unique perspective of knowing there's no substitute for human blood, just like there's no substitute for real human talent. Phil and Nicole explore effective hiring strategies, including how to hire for potential and cultural fit, and the importance of developing your team to be better than you.

Your job is hard. You're expected to know if FMLA covers this person…if a PTO payout is required in this circumstance, or how part-time is defined in this scenario! Well, you're not alone - you have an ally!   To prove it, we turn to AAIM's HR hotline and reintroduce Monique, our very own AI helper, to showcase how employers can leverage AI tools to address real-life questions and scenarios in the workplace.

Unlocking your team's full potential starts with recognizing the unique strengths each member brings to the table.   Heath Luehmann, a Leadership Coach and Senior Training Consultant with AAIM, shares his expertise in human growth and development, which brings lasting change to individuals and organizations.    This isn't about memorizing personality profiles; it's about utilizing your human resources in a way where everyone thrives and contributes to the organization's success.   Join us as Heath uncovers the genius of building a team that loves what they do.

He is the former president of the Clerkship Directors in Internal Medicine and a recipient of numerous awards including the CDIM Service Award by AAIM. Dr De Fer completed his Medical school from University Of Missouri-Columbia and Residency in Internal Medicine from Barnes-Jewish Hospital at Washington University. All of us want to become leaders, but is it possible to flex the muscle of leadership during our training period? Today, Dr. Thomas De Fer shares how everyday, all of us, regardless of our seniority are put in positions of leadership, from being a fourth year medical student teaching other students to a senior resident on an inpatient team with interns and medical students. What do we need to practice to become great leaders? Two things. Clarity of requests and stating the conditions of satisfaction. Tune in to learn Leadership 101 with Dr. De Fer. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. A good internist isn't just a great communicator, but rather someone who can mold their communication to suit the patient in their current situation. Being upfront and honest with patients builds strong, therapeutic relationships with them. 2. Leadership isn't just at the macro level. It can also be subtle. There are small leadership opportunities where residents can flex those muscles: practice clarity of requests and stating conditions of satisfaction. 3. The critical ingredient that a mentor is looking for in a mentee is engagement:  mentors don't carry the weight of engagement. That's the mentee's job.

A workshop addressing how to improve the learning environment for our students, residents, colleagues and ourselves.
