Guest: Mike Bollinger, Global Vice President of Strategic Initiatives for Cornerstone In today's competitive workforce, companies are scrambling to retain, reskill and remobilize their employees to meet new demands for growth and transformation. At the same time, employees are eager to grow in their careers and are yearning for more development opportunities. So how can HR leaders meet in the middle, accomplish both the goals of their business and their workforce, and ultimately double down on their talent development in 2023? In this latest episode of the HR Works Podcast, Cornerstone's Mike Bollinger (Global VP of Strategic Initiatives) returns to help us answer this million-dollar question by taking a closer look at findings from the 2023 Talent Mobility Study, released by the Cornerstone People Research Lab and Lighthouse Research & Advisory.

In this HRchat, we welcome Ben Eubanks back to the show. Ben is an HR analyst, author, fellow podcaster, and Chief Research Officer at Lighthouse Research & Advisory.As a human capital management industry analyst, Ben helps companies and vendors with strategy, content, and more. He has been a speaker for over a decade at events such as the SHRM Annual Conference, ATD TechKnowledge, and the HR Technology Conference.Previously, Ben worked as an "in-the-trenches leader in the HR field" within smaller organizations, government contracting firms, and the non-profit sector. Questions For Ben Include:You recently wrote a piece for the team at Workplace from Meta on creating an environment where employees can raise their voice and contribute without fear or judgment called The Democratic Workplace. In the article, you touched on the PRESS framework for transparency, how leaders can commit to openness, and whether this will ultimately lead to chaos.  Can you tell us about this PRESS framework and how it can help foster work environments that embrace innovation, collaboration, and free-thinking? "While there are some core concepts that remain critical (respect, fairness, and so on), the way companies approach it is continuing to go deeper than the old-fashioned (and ineffective) diversity quota on hiring." In an October 2022 session hosted by you and George Rogers, you talk with some leaders and experts that are pushing the boundaries when it comes to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. You also unveiled some of your new research on the topic; shedding light on what contributes to employee belonging (and what it means in terms of retention, performance, and more). Can you tell us more about the session and your new findings? In a recent recruiting study, you asked "what metrics are you using most often?" What are the findings and do you agree with the people analytics focus of, and hiring metrics used by, most orgs? How can we measure culture fit and 'culture add' in the hiring process? In early 2022, you published the second edition of Artificial Intelligence for HR: Use AI to Support and Develop a Successful Workforce. The updated book tries to answer: "How can HR professionals understand the variety of opportunities AI has created for the HR function and how best to implement these in their organization?" Tell us about the second edition and some of the hoped-for learning outcomes.  We do our best to ensure editorial objectivity.

Hiring has become a business issue, not just an HR or recruiting concern according to a new research report from Lighthouse Research & Advisory. The study surveyed 1,000 job seekers and 1,054 employers and collected its findings in “Hiring Is More Central Than Ever: How Employers and Candidates are Evolving in the Current Market.” In this episode of Start Smart, we discuss several of the report's major conclusions, including the growing visibility and priority of talent acquisition in the c-suite, recruiting teams' growing reliance on talent technology to meet those leadership expectations, the primary kinds of talent technology in which they're investing, and the lagging attention to measuring the effectiveness of their recruiting processes.  In addition, we also explore the undiminished importance of compensation in employment offers and whether that trend means all the commentary around the new dynamics in the labor force is overstated as well as the report's surprising conclusion about the length of time job seekers are willing to commit to filling out a job application.

Ben Eubanks is the Chief Research Officer at Lighthouse Research and Advisory. Being a human capital management industry analyst, Ben helps companies and vendors with strategy, content, and more. In this podcast, we have a candid conversation with Ben Eubanks, where he explains the role of HR in employee development. According to Ben, HR used to focus on employee training solely, but now they're concentrating on future-readiness, focusing on both hard and soft skills, innovation, and agility.

People are re-evaluating their priorities, resulting in a historic number stepping away from their jobs in what's being called The Great Resignation. That leaves companies desperately working to retain the talent they have while scrambling to build or buy the skills needed to sustain and innovate their business. This has rocketed career and skill development to a higher level than ever before, with business and HR leaders looking to learning for help. With the spotlight on us, what are we to do? That's a great question and one I thought so important and timely I'm pulling together an eleventh-hour Learning Tech Talks. Joined by my good friend Ben Eubanks from Lighthouse Research & Advisory we'll discuss what the research is saying and what we can do to help our organizations in their moment of need. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/learningtechtalks/support

About HR Like a Boss In late 2018, John began working on a presentation centered around the key concept that the best human resources professionals he knows have a unique understanding of the financial and business side of their organizations. In fact, some of the best are business people first and human resources professionals second. After delivering the fourth presentation to a local SHRM chapter the idea for writing a book was born. And everyone knows the best way to write a book about gaining expertise is to talk to the experts. These chats build the foundation for "HR Like a Boss" the book while providing game-changing advice from those conducting human resources "like a boss." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/willory/message

In today's HR Works 5 Minute Friday, I ask our guest Ben Eubanks, Chief Research Officer at Lighthouse Research and Advisory (https://lhra.io/) two simple questions. First, can we even go back to the way things were before? Second, even if we could, should we? Ben Eubanks is a veteran author, speaker, and researcher.

In this episode of Be Customer Led, we interviewed Ben Eubanks who is one of the most interesting people I've ever met. Ben has focused his career on thought leadership around human capital management and helping companies and vendors with strategy, content, and more. Ben and I talk about some very important topics all companies are facing right now, including: the importance of communication points in nurturing culture, how to maintain and develop a corporate culture in a remote or hybrid work environment, the importance of psychological safety and cognitive friction, the HR tech stack and cutting-edge tech available now that will blow your mind, using analytics to improve the employee experience, and how to change culture. This is such an important conversation given the systemic change COVID is having on every company, and how so many are thinking about a productive and positive path back to a post-COVID workplace.

When you hear Artificial Intelligence, what’s the first application that comes to mind? Perhaps robots or a mischievous computer program comes to mind. How about workforce development or employee experience? The reality is, AI isn’t just for IT or business functions. It’s something every talent and HR leader should be intimately familiar with as a powerful tool for transforming our work and our workforce. In this episode, I’m nerding out with Ben Eubanks from Lighthouse Research and Advisory. We’ll be exploring the different possibilities and important ways augmenting the work we do with technology can dramatically impact our organizations and employees for the better. We’ll also address the risks and important considerations we need to make to ensure we’re making these decisions carefully and ethically. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/learningtechtalks/support

J. Candace Clifford From the time it was founded in 1984, the United States Lighthouse Society has maintained an Archive of lighthouse data including photos, documents, and many other items pertaining to lighthouses, lightships, and related subjects. Starting in 2016, J. Candace Clifford, the Society’s Historian, and Tom Tag, the Society’s Technical Advisor, began researching ways of making the Archive more easily accessible to the public. Their work culminated in a database that is now on the U.S. Lighthouse Society’s website as the J. Candace Clifford Lighthouse Research Catalog. The National Archives Among the major components of the lighthouse research catalog is the lighthouse-related collection of the National Archives. Many of the photos and other items from the National Archives have been added to the Society’s research catalog. The National Archives and Records Administration is the primary repository in our country for lighthouse records. Jack Del Nunzio The interview for this special edition is Jack Del Nunzio. Jack is 22 years old and a full-time Master of Arts student in public history. He currently lives just outside of Baltimore. He has several part-time jobs.

While many organizations are working remotely and spread across the globe, it can be easy to feel disconnected.  Learning technology can play a critical role in the transfer of knowledge, sharing of information, and building of connections even when scale and location can pose limitations. This week Ben Eubanks, Principal Analyst at Lighthouse Research, joins us as we dive into how learning and technology can enhance and strengthen communication no matter where you’re learning from.

"HR is representing the people at your organization that deliver the results of whatever mission you have... There is no greater voice for the people than HR." We hear so much about large employers and enterprise firms in the news. These organizations are a key part of the global economy, but did you know that over 99% of employers in the US have fewer than 1,000 employees? Yes, really! This market of smaller organizations employs more than half of the US workforce and creates incredible value not just globally but in millions of communities where these firms create jobs and opportunities in their respective areas.  In this episode, Ben interviews Tom Hammond from Paychex to talk about this critical SMB (small and mid-sized business) market and how these firms operate. Last year Lighthouse Research ran an analysis of 1,000 employers to understand how they buy technology, hire HR staff, and outsource HR activities. This study offers critical insights as Ben and Tom talk about how many of these firms have HR technology, what drives decisions about hiring HR staff, and more.

Companies are putting more focus on helping people grow and develop not just for engagement purposes, but to field a workforce with greater potential and possibilities. -John Taylor, RiseSmart   Talent management is a process that many companies struggle with. Why? Because it's often burdened with legacy approaches, opinions, and concepts. Taking a more agile approach can help companies to not only survive, but thrive, in today's fast-paced business environment.   In today's discussion, Ben talks with John Taylor from RiseSmart about how employers can be more intentional about creating a talent approach that helps people perform at their best. The conversation touches on everything from recognition to the importance of agility, highlighting the key points today's talent leaders need to know to update and modernize their more conventional approaches to talent management.  To connect with John: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnwtaylorhrexecutive To learn more about RiseSmart: https://www.risesmart.com/solutions Check out the recording and notes from the webinar Lighthouse Research did with RiseSmart: https://www.risesmart.com/blog/5-ways-improve-employee-engagement-and-performance   Learn more about the Lighthouse Research Virtual Events schedule, check out http://lhra.io/virtual

Ben Eubanks is the principal analyst for Lighthouse Research and Advisory, a human capital management firm that recently conducted a study on video in the candidate experience. Topics discussed: Go to HR tech this year? What did ya think What’s a typical day like for an HCM analyst? Really interested to talk about video today and when I first saw the news of the study that you did I know it would make for a great podcast, how did the study come about and who did you survey? Quote: the study sheds light on ways companies are wasting money on video production while failing to meet the preferences for candidates. I walked away from this study with an overwhelming sense of “people want to work for people, not companies,”... Walk us through the major findings? I just don’t see major employers every taking this route...there are too many rules and regulations that exist that will prevent them from being transparent with vide...to those employers you say what? What were the Key takeaways? Learn more at https://www.rectechmedia.com/ and for the study go to: http://lhra.io/blog/videos-job-candidates-actually-want-see-not-branding-video-new-research/

Tried to find a new job lately? It’s easy to feel like a rat in a wheel, running faster and faster yet getting nowhere. Despite this being a candidate’s market, it’s easy to feel like you are never going to get ahead of the game. In today’s conversation (click here to listen), Ben Eubanks interviews Terry Terhark, founder and CEO of randrr. randrr is a recruiting technology firm that is focused on meeting the needs of candidates and individuals by providing highly targeted job opportunities and career insights. During the conversation, Ben and Terry discuss what’s wrong with recruiting today and how to meet the needs of today’s job seekers. In addition, Terry talks about the issues he sees that bleed across generational and demographic lines, hampering each company from being both efficient and effective with their recruiting efforts. Ben also points to some recent data from Lighthouse Research that focuses on talent acquisition priorities for 2017 and why they matter within the context of the conversation. Here’s a brief snippet of the conversation: Ben: So, would you say then that we’re in a candidate’s market? Terry: I definitely think recruiters understand that today. And it’s not just in high pressure fields like we’ve seen traditionally such as nursing, software, etc. Now it’s crept into skilled trades, sales, and other areas. There’s tremendous pressure. Recruiters understand that it’s a candidate’s market, but from a company perspective they don’t necessarily realize that opinions have changed. Even today some of the statistics that we have gathered show that the process for job search or recruiting is disappointing and frustrating. Nearly three in four polled individuals said their online job search is frustrating. Company behavior and recruiter behavior has to change to fit that. Ben: This definitely reminds us of the recent case study with Virgin Media. The company was losing tons of revenue because it treated its “silver medalists,” or candidates it didn’t select, so poorly. Those individuals wouldn’t even shop at the company after that treatment, but the company turned it around and really points to that as a huge revenue opportunity today. Terry: That’s the issue. We see that companies are getting an average of 150 resumes per posting. That’s virtually impossible to qualitatively sift through, yet many technologies people use encourage more applications/submittals both for candidates and for employers, which compounds the problem… Click here to listen to the episode and find out what the answer is to this and other problems facing companies today.

We're Only Human 9 - Sourcing, Recruiting, and Organizational Priorities Host: Ben Eubanks Guest: Madeline Laurano, Co-Founder, Aptitude Research Partners Sourcing isn't a new activity in the talent acquisition world. There have always been hard to fill jobs, but we're seeing more of this kind of issue than ever before. In fact, a recent CareerBuilder study puts the cost of open positions at nearly $800,000 annually, tallying up costs that include lost productivity, low employee morale, and higher turnover due to burnout. In addition, one Lighthouse Research study of talent acquisition priorities pegs sourcing as the number one area that business leaders plan to focus on in the coming year. In this episode of We're Only Human, host Ben Eubanks is joined by Madeline Laurano, co-founder of Aptitude Research and co-host of Research on the Rocks, another HR Happy Hour network show. She and Ben discuss some of the key aspects of sourcing, such as employment branding, recruitment marketing, and technology's role in the process. In addition, they examine the impact of AI, machines, and algorithms on the sourcing world, breaking down some of the hype and illuminating an amazing competition that exemplifies that to get the best results, we need humans and machines working together. Get all this and more in the latest episode of We're Only Human on the HR Happy Hour podcast network.

In the latest episode of Trends in Talent Management Podcast series, we met with Ben Eubanks, Principal Analyst of Lighthouse Research and co-founder of HRevolution Movement, to discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on human resources (HR). Artificial or augmented intelligence (AI) isn’t your standard computing machine that’s set to follow defined programming rules, but rather a system that can understand, reason, learn, and respond based on evaluating large amounts of data.
