Episode #54 | Hiring For Fit

Friday, February 19, 2021 • Duration 24:18

When employers talk about someone not being a “good fit” for a job, could it actually be code for biased hiring? There is no denying that when it comes to diversity in the workplace, there are countless benefits it plays in driving innovation, increasing productivity, and expanding into new markets. Hiring someone because they connected on a personal level isn’t a strategy. Before employers are sitting across the table from that potential candidate, it’s important that organizations revamp their approach to create a more equitable hiring environment and enable hiring top-notch talent.

Mary Ann Masarech, Lead Employee Engagement Consultant, shares some practical advice for inclusive hiring practices and what’s really at stake for companies when diversity is not a priority.

Episode #53 | Critical Practices for Driving a Successful Technology Implementation

Thursday, February 4, 2021 • Duration 24:28

The famous line in the movie “Field of Dreams” goes, “If you build it, he will come.” Your users may come to your new technology platform because they have no choice, but will they know what to do once they’re there?

Time and time again, analyst studies point to user adoption as being THE critical success factor for a technology implementation to reach its intended objectives.

In this episode, Neil Cucuzzella, Vice President of Enterprise Technology Adoption (ETA) at GP Strategies, shares some critical insight and practical applications for optimizing your organization’s next technology implementation and adoption.
