  • Calling BS on Diversity Recruiting

    Calling BS on Diversity Recruiting
    Oct 2 2020
    In this episode, we are joined by Vern Howard, CEO of Hallo to call BS on Diversity Recruiting. An industry where billions are spent each year, the results are still disappointing and lackluster. Many companies continue to lack diversity in all ranks and we have even seen a decline in diversity at the highest levels of organizations across all industries and sizes.   Vern Howard is the CEO at Hallo, a diversity recruiting platform that helps connect college students across the country with leading companies like Apple and Google. He joins us to discuss what is wrong with diversity in the workplace today, how companies can avoid diversity washing, and how they can start right now! We will also talk about diversity training and things you should stop doing and things you can start doing so your company is not just a check the box type of organization.

  • Calling BS on Using Benchmarking in HR Decisions

    Calling BS on Using Benchmarking in HR Decisions
    Aug 18 2020
    Knee jerk benchmarking in HR systems and decisions has created a race towards the mediocre for most startups. Considering we're supposed to be the innovators there's an awful lot of cheating off of someone else's homework going on and most conclusions reached from a benchmarking exercise fail to remember that the information you're benchmarking against comes from a different set of circumstances, conditions and even just different human beings than the one in front of you. Plus just because it's normal doesn't make it smart or a good idea.  My hope is that HR leaders and company leaders, in general, are able to shift how they look out into the ecosystem from a benchmarking exercise to an inspirational exercise. But if you're going out to the world and asking it do define for you how you should run your own organization you're risking your success. Jonathan Basker has spent his career becoming an expert in how humans operate and cooperate inside of early-stage companies. His early career focused on cultivating talent and culture at companies like Etsy, Barkbox, Handy, InVision and betaworks where he was one of the first people to hold a Talent Partner-type role within the venture and developed the Hacker in Residence program - one of the original models for the VC studio ecosystem. He’s studied humans in myriad cultures; learning lessons along the way which are applicable to startups and individuals alike. These days he splits his time between supporting emerging leaders as an executive coach, supporting companies through organizational change and growth, and running around the hills and streams of the Catskills with a fly rod and a bow and arrow. He’s quite passionate about all 3 pursuits.

  • Calling BS on Company Perks

    Calling BS on Company Perks
    Jul 15 2020
    We often say that culture is not free food or ping pong tables, but something that employees experience every day they work with your company. Since the proliferation of startup culture, perks have been perpetuated as a way for companies to attract talent. Free food, ping pong tables, and arcade machines are just some of the most popular ones. If you ever watched an episode of Silicon Valley on HBO, you’d see the comedic side of perks in full force.  Perks are not just ping pong, free snacks, and happy hours. In this episode, we called BS on Company Perks and are joined by Karen Weeks, VP of Ordergroove. Karen has a contrarian viewpoint on perks and believes that perks should represent your specific culture and values and ultimately should support and motivate your organization. We dive deeper into how your company can think differently about the perks you offer your team. Bio Karen D. Weeks is a strategic partner whose drive is to help companies build and scale their culture to meet their business goals and help people find their career passions.  Her passion is around talent development, organizational effectiveness, individual career development, and helping teams through change.  Currently, Karen is the VP of People at Ordergroove and was named one of the 2020 Notable Women in Talent by Crain’s New York Business. Karen is also a career coach, a speaker, the published author of “Setting the Stage: A Guide to Preparing for Any Feedback Conversation” and the host of the new podcast “Getting off the Hamster Wheel”. Karen’s academic credentials include an MS from Villanova University and a BA from Elon University. She lives in NYC with her husband and furry babies.
