Podcasts about Human resources

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Frederic Patitucci, Chief People & Culture Officer at Philip Morris International, to unpack how one of the world's largest organizations is transforming both its business model and its workforce capabilities at the same time.Frederic explains how PMI's bold shift toward a smoke-free future forced the company to rethink its operating model, moving from a single-product cigarette business to a complex multi-category innovation company spanning consumer technology, healthcare, and new consumer experiences.He shares how this transformation required new skills, new operating structures, and a completely redefined company culture, including codifying the PMI DNA and embedding it directly into hiring, performance management, leadership development, and everyday decision-making.Most importantly, Frederic reveals why the future of HR lies in managing skills instead of jobs, preparing employees for the skills that are rising, and helping people avoid career dead ends before disruption makes those roles obsolete.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode In this episode, host Carm Capriotto sits down with Lola Schmidt, COO of Schmidt Auto Care, to discuss how independent auto repair shops can professionalize their human resources and management systems. Lola outlines a deliberate, multi-step hiring process built to eliminate desperate decisions and reduce candidate ghosting. It begins with a focused 5-10 minute phone screen designed to evaluate attitude, communication skills, and professionalism before investing time in in-person interviews. Once hired, new team members go through a structured two-week onboarding experience that intentionally integrates them into the shop's culture and operations, complete with personalized touches and cross-training across the team. To establish clarity and transparency, Lola shares her “no gatekeeping” philosophy: providing candidates with a legally reviewed employee handbook before a formal offer is made. She also explains how to handle HR documentation and unemployment claims using a “no feelings, just facts” approach, relying on accurate records, clear timelines, and policies tied directly to the signed handbook. The result? Intentional systems that protect the culture, the employees, and the long-term health of the business. In this episode, you'll learn: How to build a structured hiring process that prevents reactive decisionsWhy a short phone screen reduces ghosting and wasted timeHow to hire for attitude and cultural fit firstWhat an effective two-week onboarding plan looks likeWhy a legally reviewed employee handbook is essentialHow to document HR issues clearly and objectively The Everyday Educator: How Leaders Reinforce Learning [THA 458]: https://remarkableresults.biz/remarkable-results-radio-podcast/a458/  4 Day Work Week and Our Own App [AW 146]: https://remarkableresults.biz/remarkable-results-radio-podcast/aw146/ Lauralee Schmidt, Schmidt Auto Care, Springboro, OH Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Learn more about NAPA Auto Care and the benefits of being part of the NAPA family by visiting https://www.napaonline.com/en/auto-care NAPA TRACS will move your shop into the SMS fast lane with onsite training and six days a week of support and local representation.

This week on Tapod we catch up with the amazing Natalie Flynn, Founder of Equidi, to discuss the latest WGEA gender pay gap and all things International Women's Day. We are making baby steps into our pay gap, but it's not enough and we're not sure we're even measuring the right data… What we can be sure of is that in many industries, there are still more opportunities at the ‘top end' of businesses for males, from management to the ‘C-suite'. We touch on AI and its impact on the gender labour market and much more. It's not about cupcakes; it's about action, and it's time we all took action… real action. PS. Who's up for a road trip to Canberra?Thanks to Taly for partnering with us this month.

Building a great practice requires more than strong clinical skills. It requires leadership that people want to follow. In this encore episode of The Burleson Box, Dustin Burleson sits down with leadership expert and author Sean Barnard to discuss the principles behind intentional retention. Sean shares lessons learned from decades of experience leading large teams across multiple industries and explains why most organizations lose employees long before anyone submits a resignation. The conversation focuses on practical leadership habits that strengthen culture and reduce turnover. Sean explains why retention begins on day one, how early check-ins with new hires build trust, and why core values only matter when they actively guide decisions. Dustin and Sean also discuss empowering frontline team members, improving communication inside growing organizations, and helping leaders stay connected to the people doing the work every day. For orthodontists, dentists, and healthcare leaders managing small teams or multi-location practices, this episode offers a thoughtful framework for building a culture where people feel supported, respected, and motivated to stay. Key Topics Discussed: Why retention begins during hiring and onboarding The importance of 7-day, 30-day, and 60-day check-ins with new team members How clear and meaningful core values guide difficult decisions Empowering frontline employees to solve problems for patients The leadership habits that strengthen culture and communication Why individual conversations matter more than group meetings or social events Finding the right balance between internal promotions and outside hiring Resources Mentioned: Intentional Retention by Sean Barnard Sean Barnard's website Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Let's be honest. The world feels a little nuts right now. Divided. Loud. Unsettled. Tired. And organizations don't exist outside of that. They absorb it. So in this episode, we ask a simple but uncomfortable question: What does OD need to be when the world feels like it's coming apart? And maybe even harder… How do we act hopeful when we don't always feel hopeful ourselves? That's not fluff. That's leadership. Instead of offering grand theories, we get practical. We suggest starting here: Stop trying to fix everything. Start by finding the energy. In every organization — even the messy ones — there are pockets of good energy. People who still care. Teams that still want to build something better. Conversations that feel constructive instead of draining. If you think in systems, you know this is true. OD's job? Go find that energy. Name it. Amplify it. Build from it. We also talk about diagnosing energy instead of just diagnosing problems. Ask: • Where do people feel most alive? • Where do meetings feel productive? • Where is there momentum — even if it's small? Energy is data. And then we double down on participation. Because when people help shape the way forward, they create the hope they're looking for. Participation isn't soft. It's catalytic. We close with a practical exercise inspired by Power vs. Force by David Hawkins — a simple way to surface the life-giving energies (like courage and willingness) versus the draining ones (like fear and blame) that may be shaping your culture more than you realize. Consider this episode another tool for your toolkit. Not because we have all the answers. But because in chaotic times, OD isn't just about alignment and strategy. It's about stewarding energy. And if OD can't create hope… Who will?

Most people say they want more. More income. More freedom. More control over their time. But when the moment comes to leave the security of a paycheck and bet on themselves, very few actually take the leap. In this episode of the New Jersey Business Podcast, Paul and Vanessa sit down with Karen Pineda to talk about what it really takes to move from employee to entrepreneur and start generating income that depends entirely on your own effort. Karen arrived in the United States from Venezuela ten years ago and started from scratch. After working multiple jobs and building a career in Human Resources, she decided less than a year ago to enter the life insurance industry. In just seven months, she generated over $120,000 in production, became a top producer, and is now building her own team. This conversation breaks down the mindset shift, discipline, and execution required when your income depends on you.

Suzi talks about developing interview practices that actually reflect the job, rather than examining esoteric knowledge or certifications - it's possible to have an interviewing experience that is actually enjoyable! The conversation dives into the power imbalance between employers and employees and how to resist being seen as lesser for not being employed. Work should be a mutually beneficial experience - we have to do better!LinksAppartenirRecorded January 29, 2026

What if your clinic doesn't have a culture problem - but a standards problem? Culture isn't what you preach. It's what you permit. In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, we sit down with Sara Siami - founder of The People Plugin - to unpack what culture really means inside a clinic. Sara challenges the idea that culture is about perks or personality, and reframes it as the standards of behaviour and performance you accept and tolerate. We break down her four-part framework for turning people problems into performance (outputs, outcomes, behaviours and attitudes), the difference between hitting numbers and living values, and why HR should be a proactive investment - not a last-minute rescue plan. Sara also shares how to run performance reviews that actually build trust (using the SCARF model), create accountability without fear, and address issues early before they become expensive mistakes. If you want a stronger team, clearer standards, and a culture that drives performance, this episode is your practical playbook for building a clinic that performs at every level.Resources:You can find Sara Siami at https://www.thepeopleplugin.com/  and book in with her at  https://meetings.hubspot.com/sara-siami Need to systemise your clinic?

In this episode of Hiring to Firing, hosts Tracey Diamond and Emily Schifter trade the drama of reality TV for the real-life stakes of employee separations, using shows like The Bachelor, The Great British Bake Off, Top Chef, and The Voice as a lens to discuss layoffs, terminations, and RIFs. Joined by Lauren Tilashalski, senior associate general counsel at Global Payments, they unpack how employers can move beyond "gut feel" eliminations to legally compliant, people-centered processes.

After nearly 30 years navigating the corporate rollercoaster in Human Resources across industries including legal, healthcare, insurance, environmental/chemical, local government, and energy, she experienced firsthand the frustrations many professionals face—long hours, broken promises, lack of opportunity, fear of change, and even unexpected layoffs.

Now, Stacy brings that experience and passion to coaching others who are ready for a change but aren't sure where to begin. She guides clients toward their "Career 2.0"—a future of greater fulfillment, autonomy, and purpose.

In this episode, Trisha sits down with Rick to talk about how communication really works inside organizations. They move beyond announcements and memos to look at communication as an ongoing cultural process that shapes trust, clarity, and effectiveness. Together, they explore how messages change as they move through layers of leadership, why first-line supervisors matter so much, and what makes listening across teams challenging, especially in times of change. Throughout the conversation, they return to a simple idea: communication gets better when leaders pay as much attention to what they are hearing as to what they are saying.   Rick Rarick is a leadership coach and former Human Resources and Management Development executive with Levi Strauss, the Coca-Cola Company, Fiserv, and Invesco. During his professional career, Rick was responsible for helping his organizations define their vision and purpose, develop talent pipelines, and create cultures where people were committed to their work and each other. His work with clients is grounded in coaching the whole person: including the mental, emotional, and spiritual self. His approach to leadership is about taking initiative, defining a vision, and helping those around you be successful.   Conversation Overview Communication as Culture, Not an Event Continuous Flow vs. Big Announcements The Critical Role of Supervisors and Context Listening and Feedback Communication Across Levels and Silos Leadership Self-Awareness and Assumptions   Resourses Rick Rarick at The Leader's Journey The Leader's Journey Blog https://www.youtube.com/@theleadersjourney

What if the biggest obstacle in your organization isn't resistance — but thinking? In this episode, Bob 'n Joyce explore why smart leaders keep applying logical, linear solutions to problems that require something different. Drawing on the work of Edward de Bono and his ideas on lateral thinking, we examine why better analysis doesn't always produce better outcomes. True creativity — the kind that shifts culture and unlocks strategy — happens when leaders deliberately disrupt their own patterns of thought. That doesn't come naturally. It takes structure, intention, and often a skilled OD practitioner willing to redirect the conversation sideways. We share practical ways to apply these concepts in your organization, including how to: • Interrupt entrenched thinking • Expand options before narrowing them • Facilitate conversations that create possibility instead of reinforcing positions If you're an OD professional or executive leader, this conversation may challenge how you approach your next strategic discussion. Sometimes progress doesn't require more effort. It requires a different question.

Are your sales reps following a script, or thinking strategically about each opportunity? Jeff Cramer, Sales Coach for Nolan Consulting Group and founder of Perceptive Learning, tackles one of the most common problems in trades sales: autopilot selling. When reps run the same process for every customer, they create tactical fatigue—high volume, low profit, and constant price pressure. Jeff explains how to build a sales GPS that aligns every action with your business goals, why strategy must come before tactics, and how role-playing can transform your team's preparedness. If your reps are busy but not profitable, this conversation will change how you approach sales.Today's Podcast is brought to you by Graco

He shares how reducing human led HR queries from €15–20 per case to cents per prompt unlocked both massive efficiency gains and a better employee experience.Most importantly, he breaks down the real transformation behind the technology, from rebuilding HR team capabilities, to adopting product thinking, to deciding where AI belongs and where humans must stay firmly in the loop.
