Although some rescues are lucky enough to have "brick and mortar" facilities, many rescues in the US rely on foster homes to house pets and foster parents to care for pets until they're adopted. Without fosters, rescues must stop intake, which means more pets die on the streets and shelters. If you've ever considered becoming a pet foster, this episode will share the ins and outs and ups and downs of fostering.  Your host Amy Castro talks with Nora Burns, a leadership expert who needed a "heartbeat in the house," during the Covid pandemic and since has fostered several pets for local rescues in Colorado. Amy and Nora discuss:- Why fosters are so needed by rescues- How pets benefit from being in foster homes versus in shelters- What fosters gain by bringing a "just for now" pet into their homes - and it's more than just puppy kisses- What to look for in a rescue or shelter if you're considering joining them as a foster- And more!

Jeannie and Adam explore hiring and new employee processes from the candidate's perspective with Undercover Candidate™ Nora Burns.  HR Undercover A good team is critical to the success of any business, so why is it so hard to attract and keep good talent? It seems most organizational leaders think their hiring processes are solid - while most job candidates have horror stories about their experience.  You’ve heard the horror stories from friends and colleagues... In fact, you probably have horror stories of your own. So what's really happening during your own hiring and new employee experience processes? And more importantly, how does it affect your ability to hire right for the experiences you want to deliver? Because how you hire, not just whom you hire, can have a big impact on your brand. “You’ve not only lost me as potential talent, but you’ve also lost me as a consumer…” -Nora Burns That's what today’s guest Nora Burns wanted to find out, so she invested years in finding out! Nora is with us to day to share some of her insights from 200+ job interviews as The Undercover Candidate™, and 15 months working on the front lines of 5 Fortune 500 companies as The Undercover Employee™.  Nora shares unbelievable stories about how easy it was to land interviews and even job offers based on fictitious qualifications! What’s more, you’ll be shocked to hear how very common inefficiencies, inconsistencies, and wasted opportunities loom around the typical hiring process. “I was offered jobs you should NEVER EVER offer me…” -Nora Burns So what are we doing wrong, and how can we do better? How can we stop shooting ourselves in the foot with inadequate (and sometimes destructive!) hiring processes? Nora has collected amazing insights and tips for you in based on real-world experiences. She’s so good at going undercover, we had to verify that we have the REAL Nora Burns! Expert tip: “Your employment brand is your bread and butter when it comes to recruiting and retention. If you’re destroying that little by little, nick by nick, you’re going to be in a world of hurt.” -Nora Burns Interview highlights: How did Nora come up with the idea of going undercover as job candidates? [2:30] What are the most common issues with how organizations handle the hiring process, and how can they do better? [6:50] Nora and our hosts discuss different ways internal processes and timelines disrupt access to great talent. [10:20] Interviewers are NOT paying attention. You won’t believe these inconsistencies that were overlooked! [14:00] Nora went undercover as a hired employee, and you won’t believe how these employers handled it! [16:55] What can we all do to improve the hiring process, and how can we hire best to serve our customers? [20:35]   About our guest Since stepping into the world of human resources more than two decades ago, Nora A Burns, SPHR has interviewed and on-boarded thousands of candidates and new hires for positions ranging from file clerk to executive vice president. Along the way, she decided to study and evaluate the hiring process from a different perspective, by participating in job interviews across the country. She did this not in her usual role of interviewer or hiring consultant, but as a candidate for administrative, supervisory and managerial roles. As The Undercover Candidate™, Nora has participated in over a hundred interviews to gain insight into the hiring process from the candidate’s perspective. Professional curiosity then took her a step further as she recognizes that effective hiring is only the first step toward building a great workforce, Phase two of her research involved spending a year working “undercover” for a variety of large, well-known organizations as a customer-facing employee in entry-level positions.  Nora shares insights learned through speaking engagements while continuing to experience and oversee interviews and on-boarding processes of client organizations who looks to HR-Undercover, LLC to “mystery shop” their employee experience. Nora is passionate about helping associations and corporations hire and develop top talent to advance their overall mission and strategy. Her engaging, no-nonsense style and sense of humor has captivated retreat, workshop and conference audiences across North America. She tailors every keynote, workshop and session to her client’s specific needs.  A strong believer in community involvement, Nora is an active volunteer with Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, and The Gathering Place.  Originally from the Midwest, she lives in Denver, CO with her exceptionally cute labradoodle, Bella.

Permission to Speak is the video blog and podcast that loiters at the intersections of leaders who want their people to speak up, technology that facilitates connections, and results that serve an organization’s higher purpose. Topics covered in this episode include: - Building cultures of respect - The Undercover Candidate & Undercover Employee - HR Undercover - The job interviewing process - The onboarding process - Trend #1, Bad Math, not realizing the impact the hours assigned and suddenly changed employees - Trend #2, Getting Paid, specifically communications about payday, when it is, how it works - Trend #3, Lack of Protection of Confidential Information of Our Employees, go through great length to protect client information, but employee information available for everyone to see/access - Not investing in the front line managers, they manage their front line staff poorly, then we promote one of the front line employees and there only example has been poor management; then it continues on up as people are promoted from within but never receiving an example of how to manage well - Great pride of promoting from within, but the challenge of not having good examples of how to manage well - Need training and need good training, interactive, facilitator lead training - Trend #4 – Death by bad Computer Based Training - Need to have a cross-blend of those not promoted from within so you can have a blend of ideas - Need lack a blame game when someone says “I don’t know how to handle this.” Need to be able to get help with not just what to do but why to do it that way. - If your organization doesn’t support you by helping you learn to be a great manager, find examples other places in your community like the rotary, the chamber, through professional associations, other volunteer organization, the scouts, your church, etc. Look for great mentors and managers. And read. So many great books and resources – libraries are free, ask the author to gift you a copy of their book. Expand your thoughts beyond “What is the company doing for me?” - Stay interviews, ask people why they stay, 30 days, 60 days 90 days, 180 days. Ask, “Are we doing what you were expecting we’d be doing with respect to your schedule, in terms of our management, about how we communicate with you about our policies and our guidelines, etc.?” - Take value in your exit interviews - Talk to people you didn’t hire. After going through interview process, ask, “Would you still want to be our customer?” - Use multiple streams of insight. Open door. One-on-one. Surveys. - Barriers to an environment where employees feel they have permission to speak. - Barrier #1, employees talk, the moment we don’t take action when people are discriminated against, we close the door to further information - Barrier # 2, dismissing employee suggestions with ease, rather than exploring the ideas further and be thankful that the frontline employee cares enough about the organization to even make suggestions! - Frontline people want to make a difference, help the organization & provide superior customer service - Take the time, leave some space for you to change and develop

Her memories of her early years in New York City are particularly vivid and poignant; losing her best friend during the early days on AIDS, waiting tables alongside Jennifer Coolidge and Sandra Bullock and the first time she was able to get into Studio 54.
