SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:
1:15 – Starting off the episode with a big question: in 10 years, what is your dream HR job? JLee wants to be the #2 in line to a great #1 HR employee at a certain organization. Tim says he wants to be Chief Performance Officer for the US government (sounds pretty tough…).
3:20 – Harvard Business Review published an article about the 21 HR jobs of the future and KD wrote a blog post on his blog about it. Some of these jobs include chatbot and human facilitator, algorithm bias auditor, and work from home facilitator. Do you think any of these jobs will really come to fruition? JLee thinks that these jobs really just live in skills and trends rather than full jobs.
5:30 – KD comments on how a lot of job titles have changed over the years to better reflect or change the perception of what kind of function a job has.
7:30 – KD is interested in the idea of a second act coach and a gig economy manager. What new jobs brought up by this article do you like?
