Podcasts about transformational hr

In a world heavily influenced by technology and evolving views on leadership and employee experience, people practice by and large, is still founded on the so-called 'Ulrich HR operating model' that was put forward in the 90s. Is it finally time to consider HR's next top operating model?  Join Nigel Cassidy and this month's guests: Dave Ulrich, University of Michigan - Ross School of Business, Natalie Shiels, Chief People Officer at Mosaic Group, and Perry Timms, founder of People and Transformational HR, as we explore what approach to HR would be fit-for-purpose in the rapidly changing business environment of today and the future.

Perry Timms is the founder and CEO of People and Transformational HR. He was ranked HR's Most Influential Thinker in 2022 by HR Magazine. An accomplished author and TEDx speaker, his 30+ year career focused on people, business change and performance means he now sits in the HR Most Influential Hall of Fame. In this episode, he shares his observations about the changing nature of work and explores the business case for agility, both as an organisational practice and as a mindset.   More importantly, he sets out why internal communication has such a centre stage role to play as we navigate a very different future of work.    Show notes Find out more about Perry:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/perrytimms/ Find out more about PTHR:  https://pthr.co.uk/ Watch the Barry-Wehmiller video Perry mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=or6YoXfHWSE

Good processes allow us to get things done, as long as they don't take more time!  In HR, there are two types of HR, in our opinion, Foundational HR and Transformational HR. A good audit and process allows us to have a strong foundation so that we can focus on the transformation of HR that ties to the people strategy.

If so, who are they and what have they done differently over the past 18 months to ensure they can find and attract the best candidates in ways that are both equitable and in line with ensuring an authentic fit?You have spoken a lot about HR being underskilled and underprepared to interpret and use the data available to them to find and retain top talent.

Lucinda is joined by special guest Perry Timms, founder and Chief Energy Officer of PTHR, for a timely conversation about the topic of energy and how we can invigorate and maintain the energy in our teams. Essentially, so that we can better face the challenges of the year ahead with an energised workplace!  KEY TAKEAWAYS Certainly, learning is a wonderful source of energy. We feel a sense of dynamic invigoration when we develop - almost like levelling up. It's not about fixing people. We should be seeking to fix the system itself. Thus enabling a trickling down of energy that invigorates our workforce. Energy begins with freedom. Indeed, many feel trapped in their job or their workplace. Furthermore, invigoration comes through granting people a sense of freedom, by dismantling barriers and encouraging imagination. Indeed, we sometimes waste the talents of a person by slotting them into roles that do not make full use of that talent. Therefore, we should always seek to tailor the person to the role. 'Energy is a premium resource' 'Most people are caged in their work' 'When we acquire new skills, when we force our self into new frontiers, our energy raises' 'There's a thing called the IKEA effect where you love what you build - that's what I want to see people do more'  VALUABLE RESOURCES The HR Uprising Podcast | Apple | Spotify | Stitcher   Host of The HR Uprising Podcast, Lucinda Carney, is also the founder and CEO of Actus Software, where you can find additional free HR Resources: https://actus.co.uk/free-performance-management-resources/ The HR Uprising LinkedIn Group 5 Steps to Boost Employee Energy - Actus Software Virtual Training: How to be a Change Superhero Virtual People Management Accelerate Potential Change Superhero Resources: Book: How To Be A Change Superhero – by Lucinda Carney Free Change Toolkit: www.changesuperhero.com How to Prioritise Self-Care (The HR Uprising) Latest Performance Management Blog ABOUT THE GUEST Perry Timms is the founder and Chief Energy Officer of PTHR - an 8-person global consultancy, setting out to create better business for a better world.

„Erstens: Ruhe bewahren. Zweitens: Durchatmen. Drittens: Nachdenken. Viertens: Einzelschuss.“ Carsten Horn, MD von Cinemaxx, ist ein mehr als beeindruckender Mann mit einer mehr als beeindruckenden Karriere. Und er scheint zu den wenigen Menschen zu gehören, die das Geheimnis der perfekten Balance gefunden haben. Er wirkt nahbar und empathisch seinen Mitarbeitern gegenüber.

Und sein Directors Team ist, sogar gendertechnisch, absolut im Gleichgewicht. Wie er seine erste Zeit bei Cinemaxx als Branchenfremdling angepackt hat und nach welcher Systematik er welche Fragen an seine Mitarbeiter gestellt hat. Was die „vier C´s“ für Cinemaxx bedeuten, was er unter „Transformational HR“ versteht und wie er mit Cinemaxx auf die Herausforderungen der Streaming-Dienste reagiert, hört ihr in Folge 30 von „Inside Team Building“.

My guest this episode is Perry Timms, author of the book "Transformational HR" and a practitioner who has spent the last twenty years in technology, organisational change and HR. He is also a global and TEDx speaker on the future of work, and a WorldBlu® certified Freedom at Work Consultant and Coach, helping organisations work in more liberated, democratic ways. We talk about what the future of HR, and work, could look like.How to follow Perry: Twitter: @perrytimms Website: http://www.pthr.co.uk/ Book(s) of the week: “The Fifth Discipline: The Art & Practice of The Learning Organization” by Peter Senge “The Seventh Sense: Power, Fortune, and Survival in the Age of Networks” by Joshua Cooper Ramo Other resources: Perry's book "Transformational HR" Perry's fantastic TEDx talk, “The Future of Work” The “Indian woman” I (rather ignorantly!) referred to in the podcast, interviewed in the documentary “Before the Flood”, is Sunita Narain.

Increasingly organisations are seeing learning not in terms of isolated interventions, but rather as the ongoing transfer of knowledge that comes through the everyday connections made between colleagues and within teams. This type of social learning is typically informal and self-directed, occurring as and when the need arises, often through the use of social media or similar collaborative technology. And it already takes place in almost every workplace, so how can organisations harness the potential of this behaviour in their own learning and development strategies? In this episode we chat with three social learning experts – Dr Clair Doloriert, University of Bangor, Perry Timms, People and Transformational HR and Julian Stodd, Seasalt Learning – about what social learning might look like for organisations, the challenges and opportunities of encouraging social learning in the workplace, and what it means for the L&D professional (as well as the employee) as organisations move away from controlled, classroom-based learning environments towards self-directed learning.
