Are you concerned about a growing disconnect between HR and core business operations? In the latest episode of the TroopHR Podcast, I had the privilege to connect with Rebecca Taylor, Co-Founder and Chief Customer Officer of SkillCycle, to discuss HR's crucial role in bridging this gap. Here are the key takeaways: ✅ The Disconnect between HR and Business: Among the business community, there is a concern that HR has become increasingly disjointed from the core business. We discussed a recent example where HR, potentially dismissed or distracted by non-critical initiatives, overlooked crucial financial indicators that led to over-hiring and subsequent layoffs. Rebecca shares some great ways to close these perceived gaps. ✅ Justifying HR Investments: From CAPEX to FTEs, HR will need to get accustomed to leaner tech-empowered teams. This provides a unique opportunity to better hone our business justifications for these types of investments. Rebecca emphasizes the importance of clearly communicating the potential ROI for HR initiatives, just as any other leader in the business would. She adds, "In order to provide ROI data, you have to start with data." ✅ Embracing the Messy Reality of Career Paths: We challenged the notion that every leader's career unfolds like a perfectly choreographed movie. While retrospective views of our careers may fit neatly into a cinematic narrative, the reality is more akin to a sometimes messy, albeit purposeful, adventure. Listen to the full episode to learn more about how HR can better align with and drive impact for the business. 🎙 Episode here:  https://lnkd.in/ecpEcddF

Why Aren’t More Companies Using On-Demand Compensation Consultants? I’ve always been surprised by how many companies don’t leverage the benefits of an on-demand compensation consultant model. In today’s competitive market, getting compensation right is critical—not just for attracting top talent but also for retention and overall business performance. Yet, many businesses either overextend internal HR teams or rely on outdated salary data, missing out on opportunities to align pay with business strategy and market trends. An on-demand model gives companies access to expert insights when they need them, without the overhead of a full-time hire. It’s scalable, cost-effective, and offers immediate solutions tailored to specific business challenges. With compensation strategies playing such a pivotal role in shaping company culture and driving results, why wouldn’t more organizations consider this flexible and efficient approach? 💡 We offer one of the best On-Demand Compensation Consultant Models available in the market today. #HRConsulting #CompensationStrategy #TalentAttraction #Retention #BusinessGrowth #HRLeadership #CompensationConsulting

Every company we are talking to right now is going through some TA transformation or replacing some part of their TA tech stack. Smart and proactive budgeting is a critical exercise in this process. But budgeting for TA is a complex and requires balancing the needs of the recruitment process with the broader financial constraints of the organization. According to our latest report with Paradox, TA leaders face more challenges with budgeting than they did a few years ago. •       1 in 2 TA Leaders face challenges this year with getting budgets approved. •       72% of TA Leaders stated that there are more key stakeholders involved in their decisions. •       Only 38% of TA Leaders feel confident in building a business case for technology. •       64% of TA Leaders fear that they will lose budget. •       Less than half of TA Leaders can show ROI. This report is one of my favorites that we have published (I included a link to download in the comments). It sets the stage of a successful TA Transformation journey.

“What are you learning” is an important growth mindset shift in how to engage with employees and think about development. The number of times over the years I’ve been asked “how do I get promoted?” and when I ask “what do you want to experience that you haven’t? Or what do you want to learn in a new role? Or “what skills do you want to showcase and acquire?”, those questions haven’t been thought through. Let’s have quality conversations with our teams through the lens of skills and learning and ask the right questions to encourage them to do the same.

Providing clarity around tech for TA leaders With all the "noise" TA leaders face internally and externally it is almost impossible for them to focus and get their technology right Our mission is to help make it easier It starts with helping them get clear answers to the following questions: What does your business value from TA? What core problems do you have? What are the biggest opportunities? Where are you wasting resources? What is the right tech to help you? How should you design it to meet your needs? How much should it cost? What is the ROI/ business case? What will future performance be? Rooting for you!

Talent acquisition leaders are largely left out of their company’s strategic planning process, and many feel they operate as “order takers” according to findings in our new ‘Talent Acquisition at a Crossroads’ report with The Josh Bersin Company. Companies are cutting their TA spend, and at the same time, CEOs feel that skills shortages are getting worse. Moving from transaction to strategy is now critical for business success. In his latest blog, Josh Bersin discusses the latest Talent Climate research. #Talent #TalentAcquisition #HumanResources #HR #Recruitment #Staffing #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Tech #Technology #TalentClimate
