In this bonus episode of Ask Dr. Change, Dr. Linda Ackerman Anderson shares an episode from the Change Signal podcast, hosted by Michael Bungay Stanier. Linda found this particular conversation especially relevant for leaders and consultants engaged in transformational change and wanted to bring it directly to her audience.The featured episode—“Is Your Organization Change Allergic?”—explores why many organizations don't simply resist change but have a deeper, systemic “allergy” to it. In her conversation with host Michael Bungay Stanier, Anne Gotte, SVP of Global Talent & Organization Effectiveness at Mondelēz International, challenges the idea that traditional change management is sufficient in today's environment. She argues that modern organizations require an ongoing capacity for change, not episodic interventions.Together, Anne and Michael examine the limits of top-down “decree change,” the importance of building emotional tolerance for uncertainty, and why embracing messy, imperfect leadership is often the most effective path forward. The dialogue offers grounded insight and practical guidance for anyone leading or supporting complex transformation efforts.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

The new Hays Global Talent Tracker, developed by Oxford Economics, shows that Ireland's workforce ranks highly in Innovation and Participation, but that high costs and skills pipelines could impact Ireland's long-term competitiveness when compared to key European rivals. Ireland has been ranked 33rd out of 35 of some of the world's leading economies in the new tracker, reflecting a mixed picture of strong innovation capabilities, offset by significant challenges which bring its ranking down. Overall, the report places Ireland behind European competitors such as Sweden (3rd), the Netherlands (7th), the UK (18th), and Germany (15th). The Global Tracker evaluates each country across five pillars of workforce quality. The pillars examined were Talent Value, Talent Participation, Talent Development, Talent Market Flexibility and Talent Innovation. While Ireland scored rankings in the global top ten for Talent Innovation (9th) and Talent Participation (10th), these strengths were offset by poor performances elsewhere in the other pillars of the tracker. A Story of Two Halves The core opportunity Ireland has to improve is utilising its strengths to address its weaknesses, in order to further improve and invest in workforce growth. Ireland's best results in the tracker reflect a highly educated, engaged, and digitally-savvy workforce that is resilient and ready to meet the demands of a modern economy - a major asset for employers looking to establish here. However, Ireland's ranking falls sharply in the pillars of Talent Value (35th) and Talent Market Flexibility (32nd), driven by high operational costs and growing pressure on skills availability in key sectors. The findings reflect the pressures of a market nearing full employment, where rising business and wage costs present an ongoing need to enhance productivity. Similarly, the ranking for Talent Development (20th) points to the importance of continued investment in Ireland's education and training infrastructure to ensure it keeps producing the specialised skills required to fuel its world-class knowledge sectors into the future. Global Context The Hays Global Talent Tracker concludes that no country performs perfectly across all workforce dimensions, and that those at the very top also have areas for development. Even high-performing nations such as Japan, which tops the overall index, ranks lower in areas like Talent Market Flexibility (17th). This global context shows that the key is not perfection, but for each country to understand and strategically address its unique economic pressures. Barney Ely, Senior Managing Director for Ireland at Hays, said: "The new Hays Global Talent Tracker offers valuable insights for Irish business leaders, policymakers, agencies and educational institutions. Ireland continues to benefit from a highly skilled and innovative workforce, but the findings suggest there are opportunities to strengthen our position further on the global stage. "The report highlights the importance of ensuring that investment in talent aligns with value creation and underscores the need to continue developing the skills pipeline required for tomorrow. "Encouragingly, the report positions Ireland as a country with strong potential to lead through innovation, adaptability, and its commitment to education and workforce development. "At Hays, we support organisations turn insights into action by helping them build workforce strategies that enable long-term success. Our focus remains on connecting employers with talent that drives real value, ensuring Ireland remains a competitive and attractive place to do business globally."

With the rise of AI and international labour mobility, companies are now rolling out the red carpet to find the best talent globally. But how do employers attract and retain their skilled workforce, and has Gen Z changed the rules for everyone? Tiffany Ang speaks with Manjit Singh of Sun Life Asia, Ichiro Miyoshi of Marunouchi Innovation Partners, Cisco’s Anupam Trehan and David Ha from Sanaka AI. This episode was recorded live at the Milken Institute Asia Summit 2025.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Walter Sabrin takes us behind the scenes of one of the most remarkable growth stories in the HR industry. As Chief Talent Officer at Vensure Employer Solutions, he's orchestrated talent strategy through 94 acquisitions in just six years, transforming a company with modest beginnings into the world's largest private HR outsourcing firm.The phrase "violent execution" might sound alarming, but as Walter explains, this term perfectly encapsulates the focused, competitive culture driving Vensure's explosive growth. This cultural alignment remains Walter's north star as he navigates talent acquisition across a global portfolio of brands, balancing aggressive scaling with consistent values.Walter's journey from competitive tennis to talent leadership has profoundly shaped his approach to recruitment. The discipline, compartmentalization, and resilience developed on the court translate directly to talent acquisition challenges. "You're never as good as you are when you win a point and you're never as bad as you are when you lose a point," Walter shares, highlighting how this athletic mindset prevents the emotional rollercoaster many recruiters experience when deals succeed or fail.Perhaps most fascinating is Vensure's near-shore hiring revolution. What began as 11 employees working from a house in Medellin, Colombia has exploded to 40,000 staff across 32 countries. This approach delivers approximately 65% savings on wages while dramatically expanding access to global talent. Walter candidly admits his transformation from American-centric thinking to recognizing the extraordinary capabilities of international talent when properly engaged and respected.While embracing technological advances in recruitment, Walter makes a compelling case for the irreplaceable human element in hiring decisions. Despite the hype around AI and automation, he firmly believes that human intuition – the "gut feeling" that can't be replicated by algorithms – will remain essential to quality hiring.Connect with Walter on LinkedIn or email him at waltersabrin@vensure.com to learn more about Vensure's approach to global talent acquisition and how their strategies might benefit your organization's growth journey.Support the showFeature Your Brand on the HRchat PodcastThe HRchat show has had 100,000s of downloads and is frequently listed as one of the most popular global podcasts for HR pros, Talent execs and leaders.

Earlier this month, the Trump administration announced a stunning $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas—the main channel through which U.S. employers hire foreign professionals in technology, engineering, and research.The move has sent shockwaves through America's innovation ecosystem, prompting fears that companies will either look abroad—or scale back their ambitions at home.Few countries will be as impacted by this change as India, whose citizens account for nearly three-quarters of annual H-1B visa petitions. So, what happens when the world's largest economy makes it harder for global talent to come in?To answer this question, Milan is joined on the show this by Britta Glennon. Britta is an assistant professor of management at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and a faculty research fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research. Her research focuses on immigration and cross-border innovation. Much of her work dispels long-held myths about immigrants and how they influence the U.S. economy.Milan and Britta discuss the pluses and minuses of America's “demand-driven” skilled immigration system, the impact on Indians of the Trump administration's massive new fee on H-1B visas, and how the availability of skilled worker visas impact offshoring decisions. Plus, the two discuss how America's competitors are poaching U.S. talent, the complex connection between immigration and innovation, and the economic costs of the green card backlog.To watch this episode, click here.Episode notes:1.

The US has long attracted top global talent, but changes to the H-1B visa are prompting skilled workers to consider other options. Countries like Canada, the UK, and China are quickly adapting to lure them with faster, flexible visa programs. The key question: can Singapore turn these strengths into a competitive advantage for attracting global talent, and what would it mean for its economy and innovation?

Shiyan Koh, Managing Partner at Hustle Fund, joins Jeremy Au to examine how geopolitical shifts, demographic decline, and education policy are reshaping global talent and innovation flows. They explore Japan and Korea's push into Southeast Asia, the unexpected impact of smartphone culture on fertility, and how political actions in the US are disrupting the university pipeline and research ecosystems. They also critique bureaucratic inefficiencies in tech transfer and reflect on assimilation policies, academic flywheels, and the cultural nuances behind talent mobility. 06:57 Japan and Korea face demographic urgency: Fertility rates in South Korea have dropped from 800,000 births in the 1980s to just over 200,000 in recent years. Corporate leaders are looking to expand into Southeast Asia through joint ventures and partnerships, viewing Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines as key markets. 12:25 Smartphones may be suppressing fertility: Shiyan references an article arguing that smartphone penetration is highly correlated with falling fertility rates. Despite strong family policies in Scandinavia, birth rates continue to decline. The theory suggests that digital bubbles reduce real-life interaction and desire to form relationships. 18:21 Immigration and assimilation face friction: The US excels at integrating newcomers through education and culture, but places like Singapore struggle due to uncertain work visa policies. Students who attend local universities often don't know if they can stay, making long-term integration difficult. 27:41 Political interference weakens academia: Harvard has faced withdrawal of federal research grants, student visa suspensions, and potential taxation of endowments. Shiyan compares it to a "cultural revolution" for US academia, where the cancellation of research funding disrupts entire projects and damages long-term scientific work. 38:44 Academic tech transfer often fails: Jeremy critiques the inefficiency of Asian university IP portals. Unlike MIT's open-access system, some institutions limit what patents are visible and make it hard to search or filter. Feedback on the issue was ignored, revealing a culture of bureaucratic avoidance that blocks commercialization.

Skyrocketing costs of attendance, declining enrollment, the advent of artificial intelligence, campus debates about free speech, and a crackdown on diversity initiatives: Today's universities are in a pickle. Adding to this pickle are President Trump's threats and actions on slashing research funding — the financial lifeline of modern universities. Last month, the Chronicle of Higher Education highlighted a new survey of a diverse group of university presidents who were asked if they “believe the Trump Administration is at war with higher education” — and 94% answered they strongly agree.Luigi and Bethany speak to one academic leader with deep experience at the heart of these debates: Nicholas Dirks, former Chancellor of UC Berkeley (2013-2017) and author of the book, "City of Intellect: The Uses and Abuses of the University." Together, the three of them discuss which idea of the university is still valid in the 21st century, how fundraising changed the governance of higher education, and how universities might navigate the challenges of Trump's second administration.Revisit our previous episodes:Universities and Politics: Should They Mix? with Hanna GrayThe Economics of Student Protests
