In episode 44 of The HR Famous Podcast, long-time HR leaders (and friends) Tim Sackett, Kris Dunn and Jessica Lee come together in the new year to discuss Gary V requesting to connect with Jessica on LinkedIn, the CHRO move of the week, and Google calling their employees back into the office (eventually). Listen below (click this link if you don’t see the player) and be …
I remembered watching Anchorman and realizing that Ron Burgundy was not only a sexy beast, but a maverick and trailblazer beyond all measure. He masterminded a polished, poised persona and he didn’t need to bother with such silliness as “wearing pants” to pull it off. He was a true hero of the 1970s and his heroic nature lives on today, …
As we continue to see the walls of our homes more than the faces of our colleagues, it may sometimes feel that the human-ness of work has been extrapolated from our lives, however, humans are still the core of an organization. The value of each individual in an organization creates culture. Which is why HR in 2021 needs to be …
In Episode 40 of The HR Famous Podcast, Tim Sackett, Kris Dunn and Jessica Lee appear at TalentNet Live and do a panel on behavioral trends among recruiters in 2020, using the 2020 Recruiter Nation Survey from Jobvite as their source for conversation.

If your news feed has been even remotely similar to mine over the past week (or months for that matter), then it hasn’t been hard to find lots of examples of leaders being hypocrites.

2020 is winding down and at the start of this year, none of us except Bill Gates had COVID-19 listed as an external force to deal with. This time last year if someone mentioned Corona to me, I would have immediately thought of the beer, Mexico and some chips and salsa. Fact: You, me, the President and President elect had …
Over the past months, people with seemingly nothing in common bonded together in grassroots efforts across the country over an out-of-control pandemic that is perpetually “rounding the turn”. One thing’s for sure: This has united the masses in ways not seen since the civil-rights movement and there is no turning back. I am the head of HR for a very …
Covid has brought about a heightened level of loneliness for many of us. While I have not stooped to talking to “Wilson:, the volleyball in the movie Castaway, I do spend 8-10 hour stretches many days by my lonesome. My dog Max is often my only companion and he is usually sleeping! My spouse is going into work each day …
Confession time: It’s hard not to LOVE Canadians. I’ve worked with a lot of our Northern cousins, and I’ve found Canadians to be generous, helpful, and kind. They don’t wear their partisanship on their sleeve, as so many of do here in Lower 48 plus 2, and they’re pretty easy going unless required to be something else. Yes, Canadians are …

It was frustrating, because I had a plan to stay there at least through my wedding in July, through the honeymoon, and then start job hunting after I hit 2 …
