On the second episode of a special three show series recorded LIVE at the recent HR Tech China Conference in Shanghai, Steve is joined by the most frequent guest in HR Happy Hour Show history, Cecile Alper-Leroux who joined us live in China to talk about her new book titled 'From Dissonance to Resonance: Bringing your people and organization into sync.' Learn more and pre-order the book HERE.

On the show, Cecile shared her perspectives on the modern organization and workplace, the challenge and opportunity for HR professionals to help create truly resonant workplaces, and how new and innovative technologies play a key supporting role in helping drive these transformations. There can be a lot of disillusion and doubt in HR and in workplaces - with an increase in automation and many organizations still operating in a transaction based mindset. Resonance means finding a place where things feel 'right' and where people, and HR, and organizations amplify each other.

On the show Alan shared how the original idea for InfoSlips was developed (it was from receiving old, paper based paystubs), his thoughts on how to improve the way we communicate with employees via modern technology approaches, and the power of digitizing documents and employer/employee interactions.

Additionally, Alan talked about how with AI and other technologies, the capability exists to 'talk' with our documents - a really innovative idea and one that I bet you have not heard about before. And since it was a 'tech' and HR show, we also discussed the HR issues surrounding the increased automation of work, and what that means for HR and workplaces.
