In this episode of the Work in Progress podcast, Brian Peckrill, executive director of the William G. McGowan Charitable Fund, and Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., president and CEO of SHRM, join me in a discussion on how an ethical leader can foster a strong culture of integrity and inclusion from the top of the organization to the bottom. For the past three years, the McGowan Charitable Fund and SHRM have partnered to present the Ethical Leader of the Year Award to a CEO they believe embodies the belief that principles and profits are not incompatible. "There are great leaders out there in the world who are making business decisions that have both great financial impacts, but are also mindful of their stakeholders, their customers, as well as their workforces," says Peckrill. Peckrill says there are six core competencies that make up an ethical leader – character, integrity, accountability, empathy, self-awareness, resilience, and courage. "Leaders need all of these. Sometimes they need different qualities at different moments, but to really put forth a leadership practice that doesn't just benefit the financial performance of the organization but pushes the organization forward and serves its people, (leaders) need all of these values." He adds that CEOs that embrace these values are transforming both their organizations and society. SHRM's Taylor agrees and says without strong ethical leadership at the top organizations can struggle. "It's because the culture is not one that makes clear that ethics is the way we do business. When you think about ethical cultures, it is both a treetop and a sort of ground-up grassroots effort to get this right. We need every employee, and we need all leaders. And we do this right, then we have business cultures that are successful and ethical." He says there's a right and a wrong way to do business and the ethical decision is one that we've got to make sure that we teach our colleagues how to recognize. This year, McGowan and SHRM presented the Ethical Leader of the Year Award to Marvin Ellison, president and CEO of Lowe's. Peckrill says Ellison was an easy choice based on how, under his leadership, the company has invested in its workers and the communities it serves both during and after the COVID pandemic. Listen to the podcast here or wherever you get your podcasts to learn more about Ellison's leadership and also more about the benefits to a company when the CEO makes a clear choice to set ethical standards and insist they are followed from the top to the bottom of the organization.

It's about doing the right thing and the right thing yielding great business results and great people results.” “Human beings don't like that they talk about change, but change is more than a word... Society is incremental progress.” Johnny C. Taylor: Website: SHRM.org Twitter: @SHRM LinkedIn: Johnny C.

In this episode of Work in Progress, I'm joined by Johnny C. Taylor, president and CEO of SHRM – the Society for Human Resource Managment – from their annual conference held last week in Las Vegas. There was a lot of talk at the annual conference about skills-based hiring and skills training, notably from guest speaker former president Bill Clinton and from the SHRM leadership, including Taylor. "We shouldn't require a college degree if the job doesn't require it. There are a lot of benefits to going to college that go way beyond economics, but we shouldn't make our economy less efficient by lowering workforce participation when we have 10 million open jobs," President Clinton challenged the in-person audience of 21,000. That's a message we have been hearing a lot lately in workforce development, so I took the opportunity to ask Taylor a question that I have been thinking about: If you don't use a college degree as a proxy for what a job seeker knows, how does an HR professional screen for skills and talent? "It's really hard and it's time consuming. It's not efficient. Part of the degree requirement was it was efficient. I could weed out people who didn't have it. A proxy for smart was what the degree was. Well, now that means HR's got to go back to the fundamentals, and that is interview people," Taylor tells me. He says that those HR managers need to ask questions that show just how curious and smart an applicant is. "We need smart people. Smart doesn't mean you went to Harvard and have a college degree. Can you figure things out? During the interview process, HR people are trying to figure out how does your mind work. I'll ask you questions. How can you solve problems? And are you curious? That's real big," Taylor says. He adds that being a team player and having the willingness to work hard are equally important. "There's nothing that you can communicate better during an interview to a hiring manager more than the fact that you're willing to work and you're going to work hard at it and work smart. If applicants will get that across – hiring managers, if you're looking for those things – we can almost train anyone to do anything." And that brings us to the next big question: How do employers attract and retain talent? "One of the issues that's top of mind right now is training and development. Given that 50%, even as much as 70%, of the jobs that exist today won't exist five years from now – or will be so meaningfully reconstituted that they won't exist – if we are not investing in our employees' professional development...then employees will leave because they're going to go where they can get the talent to remain competitive for decades," says Taylor. He the companies that are succeeding in attracting and holding onto the talent they need see upskilling and reskilling as essential, and they are offering education benefits to their workers as part of their benefits package. "The first thing that companies are saying is, 'This training is for both of us. It's not just for you and it's not just for us; it's for both of us. We have to give you skills that will make you competitive in a rapidly-changing economic environment, and you need them just in case things don't work out here and you need to go somewhere else. Even if you leave me, it's yours.'" Taylors says this is important because America has a worker replenishment problem and it's everyone's problem. "I often say this, America is browning and graying at once. We just don't have enough children out there ready to be the future workforce so we've got to get people to remain in the workforce longer and we've got to ensure that they have the skills to remain in the workplace longer. It doesn't matter that you want to be in the workforce, and that you need to be in the workforce, if you don't have the skills that we need. And that's the problem. "We've got 165 million jobs. The struggle is a lot of those people are leav...

In this episode of Work in Progress, SHRM president & CEO Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., joins me to discuss the movement toward skills-based hiring, how hiring managers and employers are navigating this shift, and what job seekers can do to increase their chances of getting hired. In my conversation with Taylor, we discuss how employers and hiring managers can better signal the skills they are looking for in a particular job and how job seekers can better tell the story of the skills that they have that match the employer's needs. "There's a paradigm shift, to your point, from the resume and the degree being a proxy for smart and capable and having the skills. We're in the middle of a level of transition that we've never seen in such a short period of time, in the workforce. Hiring managers are trying to keep up with it," says Taylor. "We are relying very heavily on feedback from the customer, and the customer would be people who are actually interviewing for a job. I want to know who's showing up. What's the language? How are they describing themselves and their skills and qualities and characteristics?" he adds. Taylor says many of the questions during the job interview are now about what the job seeker is technically capable of doing. "I'm looking for someone to tell me what they've done, when they've done it, what were the results. You've got to leave that interview making me know that, when I hire you to be a technical writer, that you can actually write. I don't care about what school you attended. I don't care about your degrees, at all. Can you do what I'm hiring you to do? "The most important thing you've got to do is to become a storyteller, even if you're not great at it. Storytelling is going to get you the job," Taylor tells me. The conversation also touched on many other subjects, including the importance of credentials, older workers, and diversity and inclusion.

Hybrid offices. Work-from-home. Unlimited vacation. Parental and sick leave. Diversity, equity, and inclusion. The scrutiny of company culture has intensified during the pandemic as millions ask: Is there a better way to work? Johnny C. Taylor set out to write a book about this in March 2020 when we all expected a 2-3 week "pause" in normalcy. Two years of pandemic later, the thesis of his book transformed. RESET: A Leader's Guide to Work in an Age of Upheaval is Johnny's analysis of a radical post-COVID re-think. But he's not just an observer. Johnny is a lawyer, longtime HR pro, and currently the CEO of the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM), an organization that educates and advises HR professionals. And while HR was previously viewed as the team to nag about payroll and benefits, Johnny says they've become the "emotional first responders" in a time of unprecedented uncertainty. Johnny explains what workers want and expect from companies in 2022, the power of the perfect CHRO + CEO partnership, and why Diversity & Inclusion efforts require more than passionate good intentions. He also shares how firing one employee long ago changed his life forever.

How well is HR heeding its own advice to workers and reinventing itself to remain relevant and productive? Society for Human Resource Management president and CEO, Johnny C. Taylor Jr., on the importance of workplace culture, reskilling, and expanding the talent pool.

From the CEO and president of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) comes the ultimate guide to transforming the way we select, retain and train our employees in a radically changed business environment. With the growth of remote work and an increased focus on diversity and inclusion, companies are increasingly finding themselves in a war for talent as they source and recruit candidates from all over the world. They need to find new ways to contact people and new sources of talent. They need to create an enduring and tangible culture that helps everyone feel empowered to do their best work. And they need to develop inclusive organisations that leverage differences for growth and innovation. Informed by more than 70 years of experience and expertise and propelled by extensive original SHRM research, Reset delivers a candid and forward-thinking vision for leaders to reimagine their company cultures in a time of global upheaval. Part call to action, part strategic road map, Reset challenges business leaders' underlying assumptions about workers and the workplace, delivers practical strategies for finding and keeping the talent needed to make businesses successful and introduces dynamic tools to sustain that success over the long haul. Now is the time for leaders to completely reimagine, reorganise, and Reset their operations to create a more daring, resilient and sustainable future. This is the audiobook that will guide them exactly when they most need it.

This week, Kathleen welcomes Johnny C. Taylor Jr., the President and CEO of The Society for Human Resource Management. SHRM is the largest HR professional association in the world, with over 300,000 members in 165 countries. Johnny is also the author of the new book, RESET: A Leader's Guide to Work in an Age of Upheaval.

We're taking a week off from releasing new episodes, so today we wanted to re-up one of our favorite episodes of the show, a conversation with Johnny C. Taylor Jr., CEO of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).   With more than 300,000 members around the globe, SHRM promotes the role of HR as a profession and provides education, certification, and networking to its members, while lobbying Congress on issues pertinent to labor management.   In this episode, we discuss the idea that furthering diversity was at the center of the 20th century, while inclusion is the issue of the 21st century. According to Taylor, workforces underestimated just how complicated diversity is to manage. He shares his belief that empathy will bridge that gap between diversity and inclusion, and lead us towards a better future.     If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to follow or subscribe wherever you are listening, and share the show with your colleagues and friends.

The world of work as we know it has been turned upside down. The rules have changed in everything, from the day to day operations of leading virtual teams, to building a culture that attracts and keeps amazing talent.As leaders, you must face the hard truth that your biggest challenge isn't technology, it isn't innovation, and it isn't even leading.

He's the author of Reset: A Leader's Guide to Work in an Age of Upheaval. If you're an individual contributor, this challenge will give you hope for a better workplace and a better world.

ROLES: CHROs who fail develop an instinctual approach to solidifying their role, necessitating constant validation RELATIONSHIPS: CHROs who fail prioritize relationships (when hiring) above results or data. RIGHTEOUSNESS: CHROs who fail need to be right at all times without accounting for other perspectives “Culture is the cure amid chaos” -- At SHRM, they've defined themselves by their guiding principles: Bold Purpose Excellence & Accountability Flexibility & Agility Smart & Curious Collaborative Openness How Johnny earned the CEO role? He's had a wide range of jobs: Lawyer, a business leader in 'for-profit,' business leader in non-profit, understands being responsible for his own Profit and Loss of a business Since Johnny was seven years old, he knew he wanted to be a lawyer Why leaders need to become excellent writers and speakers: Inspiring employees has become table stakes to be an excellent leader How to work on this? READ. Johnny regularly reads with his 11-year-old daughter to help her work on this. "Grammar matters. Typos matter. We judge people on those things." Hiring: What does Johnny look for in a candidate to hire: Technical competencies - They have to know how to do the job Cultural alignment - We do not hire brilliant jerks Curiosity is key: "Tell me something you've been thinking about that would surprise me..." Self-awareness: Tell me about situations where you've been wrong or failed... Their motivation: "Why do you work? What has changed most over the years? "Culture is everything now. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are getting better." How can leaders create a healthy culture that acknowledges and prevents racism, sexism, and bias? "We have to talk about it." Acknowledge it Commonalities of people who sustained excellence: Curiosity - receptive to change Fiercely competitive - They want to win Exist for a bigger purpose The RESET - The opinion and perspective of Human Resources is changing... "They can't be the department of NO anymore." "The job of the HR professional is to help their leaders get a good return on their hiring investment." Life/Career Advice: Become really good at something. Become an expert Build relationships Build empathy - "When I was a young 'hot-shot' attorney, I would run through people." You need to build empathy for others."

In this episode of the Work in Progress podcast, Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., president and CEO of the Society for Human Resource Management—better known as SHRM—sits down with me at the ASU+GSV Summit 2021 to discuss upheaval in the workforce, the questions hiring managers and employers want answered now, and the issue that makes him want to climb onto his soap box. An Unprecedented Period of Adjustment "We're in the middle of a level of transition that we've never seen in such a short period of time in the workforce. There's a paradigm shift from the resume and the degree being a proxy for smart and capable and having the skills, to a different world where maybe (qualification for a job) doesn't show up in a bachelor's degree or a person with a graduate education, it just shows up. "Hiring managers are trying to keep up with it, and it's tough. That's the only way I can describe it." Taylor says hiring managers are relying heavily on feedback from the people who are actually interviewing for a job. "I want to know who's showing up (and) how are they describing themselves and their skills and qualities and characteristics. I don't mean to dance around it, but it is really difficult. I've been at this work now 25 years in human resources, and let me tell you, even I'm a little flummoxed at times." Tell Me Your Story According to Taylor, that means hiring managers now want job seekers to not only describe your technical competency, they want you tell them who you are, what you've done, and what kind of results you've gotten in the workplace. And you can't get all this simply from a resume, he adds. "The most important thing you've got to do is to become a storyteller, even if you're not great at it. Think about it. We don't allow people to say to us, 'I'm not good at this, so trust me.' You've got to get good at it," says Taylor. "(You've) got to be able to convince me that, 'I'm agile, I'm flexible. I'm a lifelong learner.' Anyone can put those three words, those phrases on a resume, but if you give me a story, you tell me how you're agile, you tell me how you have been flexible, give me examples at its core, storytelling is going to get you the job." Taylor acknowledges that it could be difficult for some people to become a storyteller, but he emphasizes that in this new work environment it is crucial. "They've got to commit themselves to it. I wish I could tell you there's a magic way to do it, but long gone are the days when a degree that you got 20 years ago matters to us. It doesn't. Because the world changes too much in a 20 year period. Heck, it changes a lot in a five year period. So more and more, you've got to be able to evidence that you can change with the times, because the one thing we know that's constant is change." Ageism in the Workplace This brings us to the question of the midcareer worker who might have lost their job and are now trying to find their way back into the workforce. "We openly discriminate against people in the workplace based on age," states Taylor. "It drives me nuts. It is personally—when I get on my soap box—it's that point." "Ageism in the workplace is one of the biggest, most tragic forms of discrimination in the workplace. We have to address that head on and sensitize people to the fact that—if you keep waking up—one day you too will be 50, and therefore you have to, 25-year-old, understand that this is in your best interest to change the narrative and the way that people think about it." Taylor goes on to say it is up to CEOs, like himself, to establish that diversity, equity, and inclusion isn't just about race, gender, or national origin, it includes age. "We 've got to broaden the definition so that it encompasses everyone. Opportunity for all. It starts with the CEO and boards, we've got to say, diversity is not a program and an initiative, it's the way we do business here." The conversation was insightful and engaging,

Let’s Fix Work Episode 71 This week I get to introduce you to a dear friend of mine, Victorio Milian. Some people refer to him as the most disruptive man in human resources. Is that hyperbole? Is that true? Well, on the surface, Victorio is a human resources consultant, a father, a husband, and a volunteer.  He also is a hobbyist photographer. So yes, he's got a normal life. But he is also the founder of a movement called #fixitSHRM. SHRM is the Society for Human Resource Management. Why does it need to be fixed? Well, that's exactly what we're talking about today. What would you do if an association that represents you starts to behave in a way that you don't agree with? Do you stay with it? Do you leave it? Do you speak up? What happens when you try to reach out to the leadership and they don't respond? Victorio was faced with this dilemma, he made his choice and the #fixitSHRM movement was born.  I will let you decide whether or not you believe Victorio is in the right or wrong. But this is for sure, our conversation is one worth listening to and worth having, without a doubt.  So if you're interested in a conversation about ethical leadership and hearing about one man’s attempt to fix an organization he feels is misrepresenting HR, then sit back and listen to this episode of Let’s Fix Work.  In this episode, you’ll hear: Why people describe Victorio as disruptive in the world of human resources Victorio’s definition of ethical leadership, what is it and why it matters Leadership begins with us, it starts at a local level SHRM and how Victorio feels about it We discuss whether or not people need a seat at the table in Washington to truly affect change Why Victorio feels his battle with SHRM is important The HR workforce’s role and responsibility in the world of HR Some parallels Victorio sees between the world of HR and the world of photography Resources from this episode: Victorio on Twitter Victorio on LinkedIn Humareso  Creative Photography Consulting Skyword  Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM)   Articles of interest: Well-known advocate to lead White House board on historically black colleges  SHRM CEO Johnny C.

SHRM's President and CEO Johnny C. Taylor Jr. has made several changes since taking the helm at the beginning of 2018. This podcast features a wide-ranging conversation with Taylor at the SHRM 2018 Conference and Exposition in Chicago on key challenges affecting HR professionals today. Chief among them is the oft-voiced complaint that, too often when people go to HR, nothing happens. "A lot happens, but people just don't know it's happening," said Taylor. "And that's the part that we've got to do a better job as a profession of reacting to." Taylor explains that much of what HR does must be kept confidential, and people don't always realize that.

Callie and Deanna talk to Johnny about leadership change, how it impacts organizations, the importance of getting managers on-board and HR's role. Together they "pull back the curtain" on the org change happening at SHRM and the need for initiatives like the culture club.
