On today’s show, David chats with immigration attorney Elizabeth Goss around issues with the work visa program in the United States. We’ll look at how things have changed since the election, what needs to be done and how companies navigate the visa application process in the weeks and months to come.

It’s something that was a hot topic of debate under the Trump administration who posed strict regulations that caused companies a great deal of headaches in recent years, whether it was H1B visas for skilled workers, which made up 22% of all work related visas issued in 2019, or H2A visas for agricultural workers that made up around 24%. The result of lowering the amount of people who can get these documents has been long waiting lists and unfilled roles.

On this edition of the podcast, David is joined by Mario Moussa and Derek Newberry, co-authors of the upcoming book "The Culture Puzzle: Harnessing the Forces that Drive Your Organization's Success."

They discuss what culture is, what it isn't, what drives it and how to evaluate it. This is something many organizations have been grappling with over the last year as corporate culture looks for ways to transcend the distance created by remote work and the stresses cause by the pandemic. 

Employee experience is a priority for a large percentage of HR professionals in 2021, with safe returns to work, hybrid work models and ongoing remote workforce building happening across industries. 

Ben Whitter is an employee experience advocate, expert and the author of two books on the subject. In this edition of the HR Exchange Podcast, editor David Rice chats with Whitter about where we still fall short on experience, where the next opportunity is and Whitter's newest book, "The Human Experience at Work." 

At our latest event, HR Exchange Network editor David Rice did an impromptu "Ask the Editor" session and it went better than anticipated. Today, he's decided to take questions from emails and social media messages and address them in an Ask the Editor podcast. 

This is a first attempt at this, so be sure to let David know what you think of the show and ask questions for the next episode by emailing editor@hrexchangenetwork.com. Be sure to include "Ask the Editor" in the subject line!
