Talent acquisition leaders are largely left out of their company’s strategic planning process, and many feel they operate as “order takers” according to findings in our new ‘Talent Acquisition at a Crossroads’ report with The Josh Bersin Company. Companies are cutting their TA spend, and at the same time, CEOs feel that skills shortages are getting worse. Moving from transaction to strategy is now critical for business success. In his latest blog, Josh Bersin discusses the latest Talent Climate research. #Talent #TalentAcquisition #HumanResources #HR #Recruitment #Staffing #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Tech #Technology #TalentClimate

Done with SHRM and want to take some action? I got you, we just launched a petition over at Equitable HR Guild! SHRM's recent actions and long-standing issues, such as high costs, outdated practices, lack of DEI focus, corporate bias, and anti-union stances, have made it clear that SHRM is no longer a reputable authority on HR. Join us in this call to divest from SHRM and support more inclusive and equitable HR practices. By moving beyond SHRM, we can open doors to a broader pool of talented HR professionals and build more diverse and inclusive teams. We envision this petition as a way to bring our collective voices together to advocate for meaningful change. Consider these calls to action: 🔺 Let your SHRM certification lapse. 🔹 Remove SHRM certification requirements from job postings. 🔸 Embrace more diverse qualifications. ◾ Stop sponsoring or attending SHRM events. 🔻 Promote equitable and inclusive HR education. 🔸 Advocate for better representation to lawmakers. 🔹 Commit to embedding DEI in your HR practices. Sign the petition at the link below and help us drive the change we wish to see in our workplaces. Please share as well! Big thank you to Angela R. Howard, Mahal Maningas, and all the folks I've chatted with over the last few days who helped make this possible!

Hey HR, CDO, and Organizational Leaders: What are the reasons you are hearing for organizations (private, public, non-profit) dismissing the focus on DEIAB initiatives as a priority?

The countdown has started! Many leaders working for Centra know the meaning of the words "Compensation Overhaul". It is a roadmap that started in the Fall 2022 and will culminate in pay equity and market adjustments in May 2024. The work is guided by these principles: 1.    Planning. 2.    Clarity through transparency. 3.    Process Consistency. 4.    Fairness. 5.    Purpose. 6.    Pay equity. 7.    Leadership accountability. Thanks to organization-wide support for the work, HR has created a compensation program and capability that will be a game changer for Centra's workforce and culture. Centra has implement standard pay structures and policies, clear criteria for promotion, and standardized documentation of compensation to minimize room for bias. Communicating clearly about pay equity is nearly 13 times as important for employee retention and engagement as talking about “high levels of pay and benefits,” according to a March 14 report from The Josh Bersin Co., a human capital advisory firm. "While most companies know they must increase pay during times of inflation, they do not understand the problems they create when people feel the system is unfair,” Josh Bersin said. Nobody said it was going to be easy. But with a thoughtful and flexible plan, collaboration, communication, and execution, success is around the corner, with Centra Human Resources leading the charge! https://lnkd.in/guDNApzR.

Thank you Dix & Eaton for such a great session today - Make Your EVP an MVP. So many good takeaways today from the panel with George Sample, MBA, SHRM-SCP, Lindsay Domingo, SHRM-SCP, Cynthia Burns and Sandra L. Reid, SCMP. Wonderful job moderating Theresa Gutierrez! Some of my key takeaways included: * recruiting is everyone's job, including how you talk about your company * what is your aspirational strategy and how will your employees help you get there? * using a multi-channel approach with a clear, consistent message * delving into your metrics to find out where you're winning and losing * how to know when it's time to make a change in your message #employerbranding

Organizations and HR leaders have various methods to prioritize employee well-being, but one often overlooked aspect is leveraging digital tools. These innovative technologies can engage workers who may not seek help for their mental, physical, or financial challenges.
