Should HR's main remit be to improve the performance and capacity of employees, so that the organization's resultant performance boost yields a better experience for the employees?

Reflection is a powerful tool that we too often neglect in favor of moving onward and upward. We pursue what's next, rather than optimize our paths forward by critically observing the past. In this brief anniversary episode, Tyler synthesizes the insights he has received over the course of the show and his career on the topic of reflection. If you …

It has been reported that a majority of US workers have used generative AI at work at least one time (many passing off work completed by such tools as their own). However, a much smaller percentage have integrated gen AI into their regular work, citing lack of use cases, fear of hallucinatory responses, security doubts, and other concerns. To allay…

Each year for the past 11 years, Don Taylor has asked the entire community for their opinions and feelings on what forces will have the greatest influence in the world of Learning and Development. Since the advent of ChatGPT, it’s been hard to see beyond the hopes, concerns, claims, and overall anticipation around artificial intelligence. So it’s n…

Far too often, we classify the way we conduct our emotions as “soft” skills, effectively secondarizing these capabilities behind the skillsets we think of as critical to our work. Ironically, communication with others is perhaps one of the few “skills” almost all of us share across our professions, and practice every single day. This week, Dr. Davi…

When it comes to proving one's knowledge, is there any greater demonstration than real-time application? Probably not. But, we can't always ask our people to apply their knowledge without ascertaining a high level of certainty that they won't make a big, hairy, dangerous mistake. So, what can we do? Why don't we take a page from Academia, and obser…

Everything we do begins with a thought. And, as flawed human beings, it’s possible that our thoughts don’t represent a perfect picture of the reality in front of us. Sometimes, when we let biases or cognitive distortions cloud our judgment, we create undue stress on our relationships. Luckily, according to this week’s guest Kirsten Larsen, we’re ca…

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts took a massive hit in 2023. Many companies’ diversity initiatives showed up on budget cut sheets, and it became clear that progress toward more inclusive organizations had been minimal and unsatisfactory. Many leaders, however, still understand the critical nature of implementing such changes. While th…

Generative AI has forever altered how we create and consume content online. Talent Intelligence has given us access to more data points about candidates than we could ever use. Workforce Intelligence has turned the most micro of our day-to-day tasks into opportunities for feedback and learning. Artificial Intelligence is here, and it has the abilit…

Human Resources departments are responsible for exactly what their name states: Maximizing the capabilities of the humans working within an organization. While this is achieved through a wide variety of functions, HR tends to be stigmatized as the department that holds up progress, enforces seemingly burdensome policies, and handles dirty work like…

The more an organization grows, the more complex its Learning and Development function must become. And in the modern business landscape, learning and development professionals have a duty to be increasingly ambitious about the impact their programs have on learners. With greater competition, more scrupulous consumers, and an ever-growing pool of t…

Learning and Development Professionals have allowed themselves to behave as order takers since the function was first introduced in organizations. As an arena generally considered disconnected from the products or services of a company (read: non-revenue generating), decision-makers tend to treat L&D as an insular, periodic problem-solver. At-the-r…

The relationship between learning and work is experiencing a period of rapid evolution. Whereas we once trained as apprentices or students for a very specific skill set that could reliably carry us through a lifelong career, we now enhance our abilities on a daily basis with the help of technology. Soon enough, we’ll have to embrace an entirely new…

Workplaces are full of interpersonal tension. Whether we choose to acknowledge it or not, every office or team features people who simply aren’t meant to get along. Organizations are composed of stringent hierarchies, they often rely upon and incentivize competition, and, let’s face it, working requires a level of forced decorum. So, it’s time that…

Most of us don’t need to look beyond our own office windows to see examples of work-induced stress. Unfortunately, the majority of us are also familiar with the greater suffering our mental health endures when that stress perpetuates. Nevertheless, we all have the power to seek fulfillment in our day-to-day lives, even if there is constant pressure…

It controls our every move and it houses our every thought… but how many of us understand how the brain works? Truthfully, there’s more that we don’t understand about the brain than we do understand. But that doesn’t mean we can’t capitalize on what we have been able to glean through neuroscience and psychological studies over the years. To help us…

We’re long past the point of hiring locally and keeping a business to just one geographical place.

The way we do work will change drastically in the next 10 years.

We very well may be living through a historic inflection point. The point at which artificial intelligence grows from an esoteric machination to a tool that revolutionizes how most of society does its work. But what industries and aspects of our day-to-day lives will AI impact most? And what should we watch for as that impact begins to be felt? Thi…

Thanks to ChatGPT and its competitors, we may very well be witnessing the first generation of humans who will grow up having ubiquitous access to advanced AI assistants.

The greatest athletes in the world have all had coaches, even in their prime. Lebron James, Serena Williams, Leo Messi–all continued to be coached for the duration of their careers.

It seems that issues of systemic inequality and discrimination tend to make their way into the public consciousness mostly around clear moments of injustice, or even tragedy.

Everyone has had a bad boss. In fact, many of us have been bad bosses at some point in our careers. There are plenty of reasons why someone’s leadership can have a less than positive impact on those they’re leading. Overwhelm is quite common, though plenty of bosses simply lack systems that allow for an honest review of their impact and performance…

For generations, we’ve been building our teams toward the objective of strong culture fit. “Will this new candidate get along with the rest of the team? Does everyone have similar beliefs and values that allow us to communicate well? Are our work styles compatible?” It’s time now to realize that seeking culture fit actually impedes an organization …

Middle managers don’t always get the respect they deserve. While they handle a majority of the direct oversight of people in organizations, they seem to end up… stuck in the middle. Mediocre. Middle class. Meh. Nevertheless, these leaders are capable of making as much impact as C-suite executives, provided they control the pace of work that comes t…

Difficult conversations about management and wellbeing at work are often handled with recycled platitudes. “Speak up if you’re not feeling well.” “Feedback is encouraged and accepted 100% of the time!” “Autonomy is important to employee growth.” But anyone who has ever worked knows that these things are easier said than acted upon. To help us add s…

What’s your favorite team? Most people, when asked this question, will think first of athletics. Many will immediately picture a football team–of either the association or American variety. Very few, if any of us, are quick to think of our own teams at work, even though those are the teams we spend the most time with. Why is that? There are many re…

Budget. Value. Impact. These are the three most commonly used words found among the responses to Donald Taylor’s question, “what is your biggest L&D challenge in 2023?” This, of course, comes from Taylor’s annual Global Sentiment Survey. While he typically only asks a multiple choice question about “What’s hot” in L&D, this year he added this open-…

Engagement at work has always been… uncommon. In fact, Gallup polls from the last 10 years show that only about 1 in 5 (at most!) employees can be considered fully engaged in their workplace. Thankfully, learning and development practitioners are perfectly positioned to boost motivation through well designed learning opportunities. But making such …

Although employees expect more from their organizations in these turbulent times, many feel as though they’re getting less. With a lack of clarity around how the next wave of AI will impact job security, it’s only fair for workers to ask companies to arm them with tools and education that gives them a fighting chance. But, that’s no small task, and…

The most recent Conference Board workforce survey has shown us that many people are growing less content at work. 34% of respondents said their mental health had gotten worse in the last 6 months, while 37% feel a decreased sense of belonging. Almost half of these respondents attributed their feelings to a challenging workload, and considering the …

Learning and Development efforts are very rarely associated with thrilling, addictive content. In fact, quite the opposite–until recently, when the media landscape changed forever. As e-learning burst into the spotlight during the pandemic, the public also became fascinated by their favorite educators on social media. Now, L&D leaders have a wonder…

How can we expect employees to feel secure in their roles if seemingly every day another major corporation announces a round of layoffs? How can we expect everyone to feel fulfilled when just a couple years ago we saw how industries, the economy and the world operated with barebones resources during a pandemic? How can we convince our people that t…

While Artificial Intelligence has the potential to revolutionize the business world, human history has shown a tendency to charge ahead of our own technological readiness. The unstoppable flurry of new AI applications in the last few years has captivated everyone’s attention with promises of greater efficiency and power. So, how do we make sure tha…

What is the highest compliment you can pay a leader? That they are comfortable in their own skin. An authentic leader brings their authentic self to the workplace, and, through their actions, encourages everyone else to do so as well. But, well… easier said than done. It’s one of the hardest times to be a leader in history, with the 21st century be…
