WHEN POLITICS & EMPLOYER BRANDING COLLIDE   The Culture War gripping the United States has culminated a number of legislative changes which have direct impact on the recruiting industry. The landmark Dobbs vs Jackson ruling, which removed the Federal protection of a women's right to choose, has led to a number of states changing their laws which various reduce woman's right to abortion. What impact does this have on employer branding and talent attraction?   Indeed collaborated with academic institutions to tackle this very question - and will be sharing insights into this situation, before moving onto the panel discussion on what we can do about it, or even if we should.   - Recaps Dobbs vs Jackson - Context: Culture War - Indeed research - what is it, what do we know, how significant is the impact? - Company vs State, examples of measures taken - Distributed workforce, will this accelerate shift to remote? - What is the TA / HR policy, short of relocating HQ - Individual messaging to employees affected - Crafting employer brand for companies HQ in trigger states.   We're talking where politics and recruitment collide.     We're on Friday 15th September, 3pm BST with Pawel Adrjan, Director of Economics (Indeed), Erin Mathew, Senior Tech Talent Sourcer (PayPal), Brittany King, Senior Manager TA (The Kraft Heinz Co) & Mary Kay Baldino (Head of Talent Acquisition), R1 RCM       Ep223 is sponsored by our buddies Red Branch Media     If you've been on the fence about getting marketing support from the only pure HRTech Marketing firm out there, it's time to move. Red Branch Media hasn't changed their pricing since 2020 (yes, since COVID) but come New Year's of 2024...well, it's happening. Lucky listeners can lock in 2023 pricing for the full year, making budgeting for marketing and sales this year a SNAP! Hurry, the clock is ticking. We are mighty, but small, so we can only service 30 clients at a time...that means there are fewer than five spots left! CEO and Founder of Red Branch Media, Maren Hogan, will be attending HRTech and Unleash World this October. Snag an appointment with her to discuss how to lock it in ASAP. Red Branch Media, the sweetest little marketing agency in the world!  

Welcome to the CXR channel, our premier podcast for talent acquisition and talent management. Listen in as the CXR community discusses a wide range of topics focused on attracting, engaging and retaining the best talent. We're glad you're here. Chris Hoyt, CXR 0:16All right, everybody. Welcome to the CXR podcast and our expertise segment. I'm Chris Hoyt president of CareerXroads and this is where we grab 10 minutes with an industry personality or influencer to share just one thing with you, our listeners so that one thing might be a difficult lesson learned, or a career changing victory or defeat. The only guardrails are that it falls within any number of topics that hundreds of our leaders told us were a focus for them in 2020. So it could be equity, it could be ethics, leadership, you name it. Now, if you're interested in weighing in, and what's important moving forward this year in 2021, capital can't believe it's 2021. You can take part in our 2021 priorities benchmark that is actually open to everyone and found within the Research and Reports section of www.cxr.works. Now. If you're attending a live today, you get to participate via the chat feature of a broadcast. So feel free to ask the guest a question or two.

If we don't have time, you can always think of something later you'd like to ask you can always join us in our open and free exchanges that are actually found at CXR.works/talenttalk. So all that I'm really excited today to introduce our guest and one of my longtime friends, Maren Hogan. Maren is the founder and CEO of Red Branch Media, a full service marketing and advertising agency. Maren, how are you? Maren Hogan, Red Branch Media 1:36Great. I'm doing great this morning. Chris Hoyt, CXR 1:39Well, it's lovely to see you. Thank you for joining us. Maren Hogan, Red Branch Media 1:42Thank you. Chris Hoyt, CXR 1:44Maren our topic. Always I I feel like I want to tell everybody that I've just been I've been jockeying to get you on on the podcast for a really, really, really long time. I think I've just really wanted you on the podcast for a really, really, really long time. But we have made it happen. So our topic today is something that while I think some simplistic at heart, I found a little bit challenging just sort of put in to the right words, right? Or at least words that felt powerful enough for me to convey really what we wanted to talk about. And I can you know, I can summarize it as doing the right thing, even when that can't be measured. But you are the maestro of vocabulary. How would you sort of position what that conversation that we had about why this is important and what we wanted to talk about and share? Maren Hogan, Red Branch Media 2:38Yeah, so when you first approached me about what I would want to share, obviously, much of it is completely shaped by 2020. And everything that happened in that year, and I'm sure everybody's got their own horror stories and triumphs to share. But the thing that I really wanted to hone in on and I did find it difficult to articulate as, as we both did, was really, there's a lot of blog posts and books and podcasts, talking about doing the right thing, because it's good for your bottom line, or because it will increase retention, or because it will make you a better leader or whatever. And I didn't hear a whole lot of discussion about doing the right thing. Just because it was the right thing, or people who had done the right thing. And it still sucked. And so I think that that is for me one of the most important lessons that I've learned as a leader overall, but definitely through like this sort of roller coaster, that you know, running a business, managing employees dealing with the bottom line, and issues of leadership. I think that that's one of the biggest lessons that has come home to roost, but trying to find the way to put that like doing the right thing,

Maren Hogan is the CEO and Founder of Red Branch Media, a full stack marketing agency that develops career sites, candidate personas, job advertisements and employer branding content that targets and attracts qualified talent. In this episode of the TechRecruit podcast, Stacey Broadwell & Maren Hogan discuss how companies can attract talent by taking a "marketing sales funnel" approach to recruitment. The challenges companies face, such as; diversity and inclusion, competition for talent, overcoming ethical objections and attracting the right talent through job advertisements can often be overcome through Maren's "candidate first", "select in" method as the way to build and engage audiences. Maren takes the audience on a discovery journey by interviewing with company stakeholders, hiring managers and team members and then reveals how she transcribes those values and stories into an employer brand worthy of attracting quality hires through targeted job advertisements. Lastly, Maren offers her own motivation she brings to work along with a stellar Tech Stack that makes it all happen. Maren Hogan will be speaking at the TechRecruit Conference, on candidate personas, building an editorial calendar and contact lead funnel.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, September 10, 2014, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). The #TChat radio portion runs the first 30 minutes from 7-7:30 pm ET, followed by the #TChat Twitter chat from 7:30-8 pm ET. Last week we talked about building legendary teams in the inner game of business, and this week we’re going to talk about how millennials are different, but not as different as companies think. There continues to be so much hubbub about millennials taking over the world of work, with lots of research around it, but unfortunately no one is taking the time or making the plans to manage them. It’s like businesses are playing the anthropologists, watching from afar, taking notes but avoiding interaction at all costs — until, of course, they have to hire them — millennials are expected to make up 75 percent of the workforce by 2025. There are many myths about millennials that abound, however, that should be addressed sooner rather than later, according to new research conducted by Oxford Economics, commissioned by Successfactors/SAP. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-creator and co-host Meghan M. Biro as we learn more about why we misunderstand millennials and how we should change that with this week’s guests: Jacob Morgan, author of “The Future of Work” and Co-Founder of Chess Media Group; Dr. Karie Willyerd, SVP Learning & Social Adoption at SuccessFactors, an SAP Company; and Christa Manning, Senior Vice President of Research at Horses for Sources (HfS). Thank you to all our sponsors and partners including SAP/SuccessFactors, Red Branch Media and HRmarketer Insight.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, September 3, 2014, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). The #TChat radio portion runs the first 30 minutes from 7-7:30 pm ET, followed by the #TChat Twitter chat from 7:30-8 pm ET. Last week we talked about why HR pros need to support each other and help each other thrive, and this week we’re going to talk about people, performance and building legendary teams. In two months’ time, we’ll be cheering for our favorite players and teams during the baseball Fall Classic, these will be legendary teams that have been performance focused to drive winning outcomes. In business, the same is true. Focusing on people and their performance is what drives better outcomes for business. When your people win, they feel more capable and confident, translating into happy people. They are then more likely to be candid in communicating and advancing the business and driving innovation. Businesses that excel focus on their employee-customers first. Allowing employees to reach their potential as they drive results for any and all shareholders, and of course, their paying customers. Join TalentCulture #TChat Shows co-creators and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about people, performance and building legendary teams with this week’s guest: Patrick Antrim, an author, speaker, entrepreneur, leadership coach and CEO.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, August 27, 2014, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). The #TChat radio portion runs the first 30 minutes from 7-7:30 pm ET, followed by the #TChat Twitter chat from 7:30-8 pm ET. Last week we talked about how we can identify, survive, or leave a poor company culture, and this week we’re going to talk about why HR pros need to support each other and help each other thrive. HR professionals spend a lot of time taking care of the people within their organizations, but so many fall short on supporting themselves and others with the HR space? In some ways it's like the cobbler is good at his job but forgets to make shoes for his own kids. Unfortunately HR can be an obstacle, not a conduit to accomplishing things for the organization, the employees or each other. Practitioners are focused on jobs versus careers. Beyond certification (controversial as it is now), HR pros don’t take enough time to network and help one another, but they can and should. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about how HR pros need to support each other and help each other thrive with this week’s guests: Keith Bogen, HR pro and chief networking officer of Whine & Dine Networking; Ed Han, wordsmith with a passion for networking and helping people put their professional best foot forward, especially on LinkedIn.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, August 20, 2014, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). The #TChat radio portion runs the first 30 minutes from 7-7:30 pm ET, followed by the #TChat Twitter chat from 7:30-8 pm ET. Last week we talked about how data analyses can help companies understand and measure company culture, and this week we’ll extend that conversation to how to survive a poor company culture. Of course company culture and cultural fit have a huge impact on day-to-day happiness. Being able to identify when a culture is turning bad, and what we can do about it, are obviously critical skills for managing our career happiness. Culture originates with leadership values and the core business mission, and then flows from the people inside an organization do with all of that, and eventually with what meaning is attached to all those continuously evolving behaviors. When the accepted collective behaviors lead to conflict and strife, we’ve got a bad culture on our hands. Lots of things that can create a bad culture, but all of them can be summed up by three factors we’re going to discuss this week on the show. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about how to identify, survive, or leave a poor company culture with this week’s guests: Anuj Shah, Co-Founder of Traba; and Michael Flynn, Head of Marketing at Traba. Traba mentors know how companies choose candidates and walk you through the best way to tell your story for landing interviews and jobs.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, August 13, 2014, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). The #TChat radio portion runs the first 30 minutes from 7-7:30 pm ET, followed by the #TChat Twitter chat from 7:30-8 pm ET. Last week we talked about passive recruiting strategies, and this week we’re going to talk about how data and the right analysis can help companies of any size understand and measure company culture. There it is again — company culture and employee engagement. But mercy we must keep working towards the goal of improving it. According to Strategy& of PwC, 96% of employees have stated a "culture change" is needed at their company. But culture goes deeper than a workplace flexibility, pizza lunches and ping-pong tables. In fact it should drive most every aspect of business – from customer relations to internal practices. This week we talk “Talent Science” — the science of using quantifiable data to find and hire employees that will be most engaged with the company, therefore contributing more to the bottom line.   Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about how data can change company culture with this week’s guests: Brent Daily, Founder of RoundPegg, employee engagement software that increases business performance through applied culture science; and Natalie Baumgartner, a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with a specific focus on assessment and additional training in strength-based psychology.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, August 6, 2014, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). The #TChat radio portion runs the first 30 minutes from 7-7:30 pm ET, followed by the #TChat Twitter chat from 7:30-8 pm ET. Last week we talked about about workplace bullying, and this week we’re going to talk about passive recruiting strategies. Converting job seekers into job applicants via relevant career content is easy when they’re looking for a job. But what about those who aren’t? The elusive passive candidate — that’s where you have to be smarter and engage them in conversations around relevant career content, but not literally job-specific content, at least not all at once. According to this week’s guest, after a 90-day case study on social media content, conversation-based content increased response rates by 54%. We should teach recruiters and sourcers how to engage prospects in real conversations. But whether it’s on a forum, user group, blog, simple email or any social network, how do we get the passive ones to start a conversation with us? Strike up a conversation as you would face to face. Talk to them about things they care about first. Recruiters should always know their market and their talent. Recruiting is only human and all about relationships. Always. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about passive recruiting strategies with this week’s guest: Bryan Chaney, a global talent sourcing and attraction strategist and Sourcing Executive at IBM.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, July 30, 2014, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). The #TChat radio portion runs the first 30 minutes from 7-7:30 pm ET, followed by the #TChat Twitter chat from 7:30-8 pm ET. Last week we talked about the state of HR Technology, and this week we’re talking about workplace bullying and the legal and moral implications. Wow. According to one recent study, 96% of American employees experience bullying in the workplace, and the nature of that bullying is changing thanks to social media and online interactions. Even though the employment world is already heavily regulated, one major gap remains: workplace bullying. No state prohibits bullying, unless it relates to a protected group (such as race, sex or disability). But workplace bullying has harmful, reverberating effects, not only on the victims, but also on the witnesses. The good news is that we don’t need to wait for a law to be enacted to prevent and respond to bullying. Progressive employers who want to be successful ensure their cultures are bully-free. This week’s guest will talk about how.    Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about workplace bullying with this week’s guest: Jonathan Segal, an employment lawyer and partner with the international law firm Duane Morris LLP, as well as an active TalentCulture #TChat community member.

The #TChat radio portion runs the first 30 minutes from 7-7:30 pm ET, followed by the #TChat Twitter chat from 7:30-8 pm ET. Last week we talked about values based leadership and this week we’re going to talk about the state of HR Technology with a co-chair of Human Resource Executive’s HR Technology® Conference and the host HR Happy Hour Show, a radio program and podcast -- Mr. Steve Boese. Employee engagement and recognition, company culture, cloud computing, HR data management, talent analytics and integrated HR and talent acquisition and management systems continue to be hot trends in the HR tech space, not to mention social collaboration and video (from recruitment to onboarding to core talent management). And a better user experience to boot is what it’s all about today. There’s a renaissance of new edge applications improving recruiting, learning and talent engagement, and HR buyers are more sophisticated that ever before. Plus, #TChat community members can get $600 off of the HR Tech Conference full rate (expires August 4). Pssst…the secret code is TW14 (case sensitive).

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, July 16, 2014, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). The #TChat radio portion runs the first 30 minutes from 7-7:30 pm ET, followed by the #TChat Twitter chat from 7:30-8 pm ET. Last week we talked about amplifying the talent engagement experience, and this week we’re going to discuss values based leadership. Leadership development isn’t anything new, but it’s is clear that people today care about different things and their expectations from business in their roles as associates, customers, investors, and community members are rapidly changing. For organizations to keep up, leaders have to go first; the culture of any organization is an extended shadow of leadership. For business leaders to successfully transform themselves and bring others along with them, they must come from a place of passion, purpose, competency and authenticity. There are those words again, but unfortunately businesses are not keeping up and still use old school leadership mind-sets and skill-sets of the past. The squandering of the extraordinary potential that lies largely untapped in our employees and organizations is painful to witness, but there is hope. This week’s guest calls it Values Based Leadership, similar styles include Authentic, Servant and Truly Human Leadership. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about values based leadership with this week’s guest: Mark Fernandes, Chief Leadership Officer of Luck Companies, a global Values Based Leadership (VBL) organization.

The #TChat radio portion runs the first 30 minutes from 7-7:30 pm ET, followed by the #TChat Twitter chat from 7:30-8 pm ET. Before the 4th of July break we talked about how organizations can and should differentiate, and this week we’re going to talk about the benefits of true talent engagement. Unfortunately talent management strategies of the past no longer work. Today people work differently, are motivated differently and are engaged differently. Millennials may have pushed all the employer flexibility buttons, but now every generation is demanding more. For example, employees want ongoing growth opportunities, workplace flexibility, tools and systems that encourage collaboration, and commitment to a reciprocal climate of support and encouragement, all of which lead to payoffs in employee retention, satisfaction, and overall business performance. The key, today, is to drive a higher level of contribution and deeper engagement through a better “people management” experience that can lead to better and more lucrative business outcomes.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, June 18, 2014, from 6:30-7:00 pm ET for radio, 7:00-8:00 pm ET for the Twitter chat. Last week we talked about the power of workforce culture and continuous talent mobility, and this week we’re going to talk about authenticity. The fact that it’s more than a buzzword. That it has truly powerful significance to both employee and employer. That it’s hard work and usually involves some risk, but the payoff potential is huge. And the fact that authenticity is an inside job — you have to start with yourself. Unfortunately according to this week’s guests (and the hosts as well), authenticity is not that simple, it’s not neat and orderly, it’s not always safe, and it’s certainly not as common as we’d like to see, especially in the workplace. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about true authenticity with this week’s guests: Jason Lauritsen and Joe Gerstandt, co-founders of Talent Anarchy where they speak on and write about helping companies build cultures that fuel innovation.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, June 11, 2014, from 6:30-7:00 pm ET for radio, 7:00-8:00 pm ET for the Twitter chat. Last week we talked about how to have a transformative onboarding experience for new hires, and this week we’re talking about the power of workforce culture and continuous talent mobility. According to 2013 SuccessFactors WFA Benchmarking Data, normal voluntary turnover is 8.9% annually compared with 18.8% voluntary turnover for hires with their first year of employment. That’s more than double. It’s no wonder companies struggle to retain top talent from the moment the ink is dry on the new hire paperwork. Plus, once onboarded, networked and contributing, every single employee is a perpetual candidate and a growth opportunity for the company at large. In turn, providing a continuous mobility experience  to your workforce that includes the flexibility to dial up and down their level of contribution, while ensuring they’re career paths are personalized growth opportunities, are the keys to retaining knowledge and your competitive edge. Why look outside first when you already have an internal talent community and referral network? You invest a lot in your talent up front and to lose them quickly because of little to no nurturing empowers your competitors, not your company. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about the power of workforce culture and continuous talent mobility with this week’s guest: Tracey Arnish, SVP of Talent at SAP.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, June 4, 2014, from 6:30-7:00 pm ET for radio, 7:00-8:00 pm ET for the Twitter chat. Last week we talked about how to visualize real-time talent alignment, and this week we’re talking about how to have a transformative onboarding experience for new hires. According to the Talent Board’s 2013 Candidate Experience Awards report, based on data from nearly 50,000 candidates from over 90 progressive companies, new hires are sometimes met with less-than-ideal onboarding processes. They’re usually bombarded with disparate paperwork on the first day, as well as left with many questions about everything from benefits to job responsibilities. Nobody wants to do their “day 1” paperwork from a cold, dark office. They want to do it from the comfort of wherever that comfort derives. They want to get on with the cultural immersion — and get to work. A good onboarding experience is crucial to the success of every new employee, and a happy candidate experience makes for exceptional hires and happy customers. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn how to have a transformative onboarding experience with this week’s guests: Todd Owens, President & COO at TalentWise; and Wendy Matyjevich, SPHR, Managing Partner of Human Capital for BlackRain Partners.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, May 28, 2014, from 6:30-7:00 pm ET for radio, 7:00-8:00 pm ET for the Twitter chat. Last week we talked about the inspire or retire leadership theorem, and this week we’re talking about how to visualize real-time talent alignment. Employee turnover is a common challenge for organizations of all shapes and size and industries. It’s an overgrown and thorny path that leaders and HR teams walk bare foot daily, with no compass to guide them. This wild “talent cycle” can create poor climates and cultures where your people are forced to scramble and hire reactively each time an employee makes a move toward the door. Focused on the people not the processes combined real-time talent alignment technology allow leaders to better visualize their human capital investment, while simultaneously engaging employees and driving performance. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about visualizing real-time talent alignment with this week’s guests: Andre Lavoie, CEO and co-founder of ClearCompany; and Matt Norman, a Dale Carnegie Training franchise president.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, May 21, 2014, from 6:30-7:00 pm ET for radio, 7:00-8:00 pm ET for the Twitter chat. Last week we talked about talent-centric recruiting experience, and this week we’re talking about the inspire or retire leadership theorem. Yes, that’s what we said. The first part of this theorem is a reminder that from the junior employee to senior management, leadership is everyone’s business. When organizations are in a VUCA environment (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity), they are usually flatter and everyone must lead. You’ll learn more about the theorem soon, but until then, inspirational leaders encourage their team by example and allow their people to take the lead in accomplishing the organizational vision. The most significant contribution we can make as leaders today is to leave a legacy of inspired leaders behind to take care of tomorrow. We can leverage our skills, talents, and experiences to transform our people into leaders. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about the inspire or retire leadership theorem with this week’s guest: Thomas S. Narofsky, Founder and Chief Inspirational Officer for the Narofsky Consulting Group, a leadership development, team effectiveness, and executive coaching consultancy.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, May 14, 2014, from 6:30-7:00 pm ET for radio, 7:00-8:00 pm ET for the Twitter chat. Last week we talked about building resilient workplace cultures, and this week we’re talking a talent-centric recruiting experience. According to the 2013 Candidate Experience Awards survey results, communicating a company’s culture is a key differentiator today. Focusing on engagement experiences for all involved in recruiting can also lead to better business outcomes like better hires, and improved retention. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about how talent-centric recruiting improves business outcomes with this week’s guest: Elaine Orler, President and Founder of Talent Function and Co-Founder of the Candidate Experience Awards.

Last week we talked about creating a better candidate experience, and this week we’re going to cover building resilient workplace cultures. Because without resiliency, the ability to bounce back from life’s everyday obstacles and overwhelming adversities would be a daunting task. The good news is that resiliency can be learned; it’s a process, a belief system and a skill set. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about creating resilient cultures with this week’s guest: Michael H. Ballard, a resiliency expert who specializes in workplace programs.
