In HRchat episode 301, we consider the tools and resources needed to ensure successful L&D and workforce planning initiatives. Listen as we also chat about what it takes for HR to foster an environment that successfully elevates employee wellbeing and career development.
I’m joined this time by Phil Harrington, Chairman and CEO and Dr. Spencer Niles, Senior Vice President, Career Planning and Development at Kuder, a career guidance solutions provider. Dr. Niles is also is professor of counselor education and co-director of the THRIVE Research and Intervention Center at the William & Mary School of Education.
Listen to this HRchat interview and hear Phil and Spencers answers to such questions as:
- What are the traditional and new challenges a job-seeker would face when considering a new career, including obtaining new skills in a socially distant environment?
- What happens to those who are in a deficit of hope following weeks or months on virtual job boards?
- What are the fears held by under-skilled employees with regards to being left behind and/or becoming obsolete?
- What are some of the opportunities available to employees and employers if they get their career guidance and L&D efforts right?
- What are the big questions you and your team hear from HR professionals when trying to create or refine strategies to foster an environment that elevates employee wellbeing and career development? How have requirements being changed by the crisis and its aftermath?
- Succession planning: How can firms scared of losing high-performing employees in a rebounding labor market at least ensure that they have trained folks within the company ready to step up when called upon?
