One of the things we saw without a doubt was that if you had invested in workforce planning, or if you had invested in talent management, or if you had ensured that you had an idea of where your organization was sitting, at least from a talent perspective, you just did better in this last two or three years.” “The technology of the future—the piece that I think we're all sort of trying to figure out—is taking the really sticky business challenges that we have right now, which are always more of a process than they are a technology, and starting to figure out how to automate those because we have automated, for the most part, everything that is easy to automate in our world.”Contact:LinkedInProduction by Affogato Media

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
