09/02/22 • 23 min

In this HRchat episode, Bill Banham is joined by Jason Mundy, VP of Marketing at Qstream, the leading enterprise microlearning and knowledge reinforcement solution proven by science and in practice to boost learner performance.

Questions Include:

What is microlearning?
Based on the findings from the 2022 Workplace Learning Report, how effective are current workplace learning programs? Where must more work be done to make them more effective and efficient?
How important are workplace learning programs in relation to fighting employee burnout and attracting/retaining talent?
Nearly half of those surveyed in the 2022 Workplace Learning Report say their organization needs a digital-led approach to training/learning opportunities so employees can learn on their own time. Why the resistance from leadership to go digital?
Follow up: How can organizations achieve a digital-led approach to training/learning? What are the benefits of employees training/learning on their own time?
According to Qstream’s study, compensation isn’t everything: nearly half of those surveyed think their employees would rather be offered more comprehensive and effective learning/training opportunities than be paid more. Why do you think that is?

About the 2022 Workplace Learning Report

In March and April 2022, Qstream commissioned independent research company ResearchScape to poll 534 U.S. business managers representing a variety of industries and company sizes to better understand the role that learning initiatives will play in combating the current workforce challenges. The survey also sought to uncover the perceived effectiveness of workplace learning programs today—and where more work must be done

Making ESG a Part of Your Business Strategy with Scott Lane, Speeki

If you’re a business leader, you’re legally obliged to optimize your strategy and resources to maximize shareholder return. This may lead you to assume that it’s not your responsibility, or in your best interest, to care about the environment, social, and governance issues (ESG).

But, actually, making ESG a part of your business strategy can unlock growth opportunities, reduce costs, and future-proof your brand in the eyes of an increasingly conscious public. Listen to this HRchat episode to learn how!

Our returning guest is Scott Lane, Founder and CEO of Speeki, a group focused on transforming compliance hotlines and other compliance areas using Ai technologies.

Speeki is also a player in compliance certifications and compliance auditing and one of the few bodies accredited by ISO for certifications under the ISO 37001 Anti-Bribery Standard.

Questions Include:

There seems to be lots of dialogue right now about ESG and whether it is a fad or something that will stay around. What do you think?
Is this just for large global companies or is there a place for smaller companies to build ESG?
You recently presented a webinar called Combining a whistleblower program with social listening to generate data. The webinar's goal was to show how to generate real data for one's #ESG and compliance efforts by combining an active #whistleblowing program with a proactive social listening tool. Can you tell me more?
How do most Human Resources teams get involved in ESG?
Does the process typically start with HR or is there a ESG officer?
Where do you think this ESG area will go in the future?

Employee Benefits Trends with Don Williamson, OHB

In this HRchat episode, we investigate ways benefits consultants can work with HR departments to get more for their employees. Listen too, as we look ahead to the AGILITY REIMAGINED summit on Sept 14th in Toronto.

Our guest today is Don Williamson, Founder and President of Oak House Benefits.

Questions For Don Include:

Your company is focused on benefits. Why is that the case? How broad is that focus?
Are there any particular trends in benefits that you are talking about with your clients?
What are clients struggling with at the moment and how are you helping them?
What kind of expectations do most HR people have in dealing with a group benefits broker or consultant? What services and products do they expect to get?
How often do HR Directors evaluate their benefits program? If they wanted to – how might they do that to determine if it is as effective as it can be? Do you agree with this approach?
The term ROI is used a lot in terms of evaluating the benefits of a company’s group benefits plan. How do most people define this – do you define it differently?
Oak House is sponsoring the AGILITY REIMAGINED summit. Tell us why you decided to get involved.
