Welkom bij een nieuwe podcast van Powervrouwen in de Automotive. We hebben weer een leuke gast in de studio. We gaan vandaag in gesprek met Shanice Tholel, Commercial Training Manager bij Renault Group Netherlands. Leuk dat je er bent! Shanice werkt inmiddels ruim vijf en een half jaar bij Renault en heeft daarvoor een jaar bij Nissan gewerkt. Daarmee is ze zo'n zes en een half jaar actief in de automotive, al ligt haar achtergrond eigenlijk in de HR. Tijdens haar studie Human Resources begon ze met een bijbaan in de beveiligingsbranche. Dat groeide uit tot een rol op het hoofdkantoor, waar ze zich steeds meer ging verdiepen in training en ontwikkeling en betrokken raakte bij het organiseren van assessmentdagen. Toch begon het na een aantal jaren te kriebelen. Ze wilde meer richting het organiseren van trainingen en het motiveren van mensen. Precies op dat moment kwam ze een vacature bij Nissan tegen, en zo zette ze haar eerste stappen in de automotive. Na nog geen jaar bij Nissan werd Shanice benaderd door Renault. Een bekende uit de HR-wereld kende haar werk en vroeg haar de overstap te maken. Die timing bleek bijzonder: kort na haar start brak de coronaperiode aan. Een nieuwe baan, een nieuw team en tegelijkertijd een wereld die grotendeels op slot ging. Alles moest plotseling online: van kennismaken met collega's tot het verzorgen van trainingen. Het traditionele, fysieke trainen was geen optie meer en er moest in hoog tempo een digitale structuur worden opgebouwd. Lange dagen en veel pionierswerk volgden, met als resultaat de ontwikkeling van een online leerplatform, R-Learning, dat vandaag de dag nog steeds de basis vormt. Met steun vanuit Frankrijk, maar grotendeels door lokale inzet, wist Shanice haar rol stevig neer te zetten. Als Commercial Training Manager werkt zij dagelijks met uiteenlopende partijen samen. De trainingscontent wordt in Frankrijk ontwikkeld, waarna Shanice met haar team de vertaalslag maakt naar de Nederlandse markt. Daarbij werkt ze nauw samen met product marketing en de trainers die de inhoud lokaal aanpassen. Zelf geeft ze de trainingen niet, maar ze organiseert alles eromheen en zorgt dat de uitvoering op rolletjes loopt. In de afgelopen jaren heeft ze een vast team opgebouwd: de Renault Academy. Voor elk nieuw model ontwikkelt de Academy een trainingsprogramma dat deels online en deels fysiek plaatsvindt. Zo werden in 2024 vier modellen geïntroduceerd: de Scenic, de Dacia Duster, de Renault Master en de Renault 5. Verkoopadviseurs, vestigingsmanagers, accountmanagers en serviceadviseurs starten met online modules, zoals e-learnings en webinars, en sluiten het traject af met een eindtoets. De fysieke trainingsdagen bieden ruimte om kennis in praktijk te brengen en om daadwerkelijk met de auto's te rijden. Vanuit Frankrijk wordt daarnaast bij elk nieuw model een train the trainers-sessie georganiseerd. Collega's uit alle landen komen dan samen om te leren hoe de trainingen idealiter worden verzorgd. Dat gebeurt via zowel statische als dynamische workshops. Vervolgens bepaalt elk land zelf hoe dit het beste vertaald kan worden naar de lokale markt. Vaak krijgen trainers ook de primeur om als eersten in een nieuw model te rijden. Uiteindelijk draait alles om het enthousiasmeren van het netwerk, want een succesvolle training legt de basis voor succesvolle verkoop. Als vrouw in een overwegend mannelijke branche merkte Shanice in het begin dat ze zich extra moest bewijzen. Ze voelde de druk: gaat ze dit waarmaken of niet? Door resultaten neer te zetten en successen te boeken, verdiende ze respect. Toch blijft het onderwerp bestaan. Hoewel sommigen zeggen dat gender geen issue meer is in de automotive, ervaart zij dat je als vrouw nog steeds soms over het hoofd gezien kunt worden. Het houdt haar niet wakker, maar ze ontkent de realiteit niet. Gelukkig ziet ze steeds meer vrouwen instromen, wat volgens haar zorgt voor een gezonde balans en een positieve ontwikkeling voor de sector als geheel. In haar werk als trainer en manager stuurt Shanice regelmatig grote groepen mensen aan, soms wel zeventig tegelijk. Ze noemt zichzelf geen leider in de klassieke zin, maar wel opdrachtgever voor velen. Haar stijl is persoonlijk en gelijkwaardig: iedereen weet wat er moet gebeuren, maar er is altijd ruimte voor plezier. Zelf doet ze net zo goed mee met sjouwen of voorbereiden, omdat samenwerken volgens haar pas echt werkt als je samen de schouders eronder zet. Ze benadrukt het belang van plezier maken, samen terugkijken op de dag en het uitspreken van dankbaarheid. Want, zo zegt ze, niets is vanzelfsprekend en waardering uitspreken maakt een team sterker.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we speak with Wouter Durville, Co-Founder & CEO of TestGorilla, about the rise of skills-based hiring and how AI is transforming recruitment.

Never underestimate the power of phone answering skills. The way a dental practice phone is answered can lead to a new patient appointment (or the lack of one). Good skills can lead to de-escalation of a frustrated patient and to the positive feeling of satisfaction while neutral or negative skills can unintentionally upset a patient or drive a patient away. Dr. Kuba and Bethany jump into this very important topic in today's episode. When is the last time that you considered the way in which your phones are answered? The impact of the phone is incredible, so listen closely! Previous Episodes Worth Revisiting: The Basics of Team Building  How to Tackle Uncomfortable Conversations with Employees

In this episode, Bob ‘n Joyce pick up where they left off in Episode 204, exploring the infectious power of energy. Too often overlooked, energy shapes how we provoke, improve, and influence the people and systems around us. Each of us carries this superpower, capable of sparking positivity—or negativity—based on how we show up. Every system is in constant flux, driven by the ebb and flow of energy. Today, we share practical ways leaders and OD practitioners can harness this invisible force to elevate individuals, teams, and entire organizations. It begins with learning to see energy at work, everywhere and all the time. Tune in for an energy boost that's guaranteed to lift your day!

This week on Tapod we sit down with Steve Ward – Global Employer Brand and Recruitment Marketing Expert and Head of Strategic Insights at Blackbridge Communications.

We cover usage, development, ethics, and government regulation—hell, we cover everything. AI is here to stay, and it will make our lives very different; just how different is the question we all want answered. Thanks to Paradox for your support this month.

It has been an urban revitalization like few others in the world. Legendary in fact. Bilbao and its metropolitan district has a strategic location near the sea which confirmed its strength as a trading center and evolution into the great economic giant of the Basque Country in the days of iron and steel, shipyards mining. But in the 1970's and 1980's it hit the skids and went into a deep crisis. As its problems got deeper people left, it physically grew uglier while its environment became more polluted. As we learned during previous conversations in 2023 https://tinyurl.com/ydh3b7fn its recovery was a modern wonder and perfect example of what the Intelligent Community movement is all about. It was a systematic plan with a flourish, one that literally defines “the soul of a city.” In 2025 for the first time, Bilbao made the ICF's list of Smart21 Intelligent Communities. We decided to go back and have another discussion with its new Director of Modernization to get more on this story of a truly great 21st Century community. Here it is. Just for ICF podcast listeners! Ane Miren, a Law graduate from the University of Deusto, has an extensive professional career linked to people management and talent development, having specialized for the past six years in comprehensive technology leadership. Her extensive professional experience in the private sector has allowed her firsthand experience with leading Basque industry companies such as ITP Group and Vicrila, the German multinational Rothenberger, as well as the hotel sector, where she led Human Resources and Health and Safety departments. In the public sector, from 2015 to 2019, she became a member of the Board of Directors of BilbaoTIK, a municipal technology entity of the Bilbao City Council. In 2019, she acquired the position of General Manager of BilbaoTIK until her appointment as Director of the Modernization Department of the Bilbao City Council on August 1, 2023.

This week, we dig into the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit's new Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) collective action notice standard, the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL's) relaunched Payroll Audit Independent Determination (PAID) program, and the DOL's scaled-back approach to wage and hour investigation penalties. Seventh Circuit's New Standard for FLSA Notice  The Seventh Circuit has introduced the Richards framework, a middle-ground standard for FLSA collective actions. This decision deepens the circuit split over notices to potential plaintiffs and could lead to Supreme Court involvement. Learn how this could impact your compliance strategies. DOL Relaunches PAID Program  The DOL has relaunched the PAID program, letting employers self-report FLSA violations to avoid litigation or liquidated damages. The program now covers select Family and Medical Leave Act corrections. Discover how this voluntary option supports compliance. Wage and Hour Investigation Penalties Scaled Back A new DOL directive reduces penalties during wage and hour audits. Liquidated damages won't apply in pre-litigation investigations but may still be pursued in litigation. See how this change could affect your risk management strategies.  -- Download our Wage & Hour Guide for Employers app: https://www.ebglaw.com/wage-hour-guide-for-employers-app. Visit our site for this week's Other Highlights and links: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw401 Subscribe to #WorkforceWednesday: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw-subscribe Visit http://www.EmploymentLawThisWeek.com This podcast is presented by Epstein Becker & Green, P.C.

AI is already showing up in HR, whether it's writing job posts, drafting performance reviews, or powering employee chatbots. But when does it actually help, and when does it cross the line into risk? In this episode of Human Solutions, Pete Wright sits down with Kyle Pardo and Terry Cook to talk through the real-world ways AI is being used in HR today—and the very real challenges it brings with it.Kyle shares where AI shines in everyday workflows—first drafts, checklists, and summarizing feedback—while Terry highlights the legal and ethical traps that can follow, from biased algorithms in recruiting to compliance errors that could land an employer in hot water. Together, they unpack why “human in the loop” isn't just a catchphrase, but the key to making sure AI adds value without undermining trust.The conversation also digs into guardrails every HR team should be thinking about: data security, identity verification, and building living AI policies that evolve with the technology. Whether you're experimenting with new tools or worried about shadow AI use in your company, this episode offers a grounded look at how HR leaders can embrace the benefits while avoiding the pitfalls.Links & NotesAIM HR Solutions Training CatalogAIM members can reach the HR Helpline at 800-470-6277 or helpline@aimnet.org for inquiries Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (EST).

We see opportunities that are too often overlooked. Fresh from a week-long immersion in healing energy at the Omega Institute, Joyce shares her big takeaway: blocked energy is everywhere, stifling creativity and slowing momentum. The challenge — and opportunity — for HR, OD, and all leaders is clear: unleash energy so people and organizations don't just get by, but thrive. Join us as we explore how to tap into this vital force to spark innovation, build prosperity, and create workplaces (and lives) that flow. So grab a healthy snack and step into the conversation — the power is all around us.

Toph leads the discussion and review of Coldplay's 2005 album ‘X&T' – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!   Welp, lots to cover today.  Let's start with dead people…Nubs' summer concert schedule…and kiss cams.  From there, we will get into everyone's love of Human Resources, bad track sequencing, What's Happenin' (the 80's television program), whether or not The Wrestling Album was good, and whether or not The Coral Reefer Band playing Jimmy Buffet songs by themselves is a money grab or not.  But most importantly – and perhaps in the most important public safety message 2T&A has ever delivered: don't…please don't…do the “Concert Stand Behind” maneuver.  Ever.  It could cost you your career.  Just say no.
