This week on the show, the great Paul Hebert guest hosts and welcomes Derek Irvine, Vice President Client Strategy and Consulting for Globoforce, and author of 'Winning With a Culture of Recognition', for a look at how culture impacts organizational performance.

Culture and culture management have had increased attention in the last few years as an important driver of employee engagement and company performance. This week on the show Paul and Derek will take a closer look at culture and discuss topics around -

What is company culture?

Can company culture be defined and managed?

What is proactive culture management?

Does culture really 'beat' strategy as we often hear?

What companies really understand this and are doing a great job with culture management?

Culture is always a lively topic on the show and this week I hope you can join Paul and Derek for what will surely be an interesting and informative show.

It should be a fun show and I hope you can join us!

With the tremendous amount of change in the workplace today caused by increased global competition, the rise of mobile technology, the emergence of social networking and social media, and the need to manage a more diverse and more flexible workplace; the challenges on the modern HR organization perhaps have never been greater.

Adapting to meet these challenges, via a combination of organizational alignment strategies, re-assessment and re-deployment of key HR skills, and more deeply integrating HR operations with business objectives are chief concerns of most HR leaders today.

On the show this week, we will welcome Kim Seals, a partner from Mercer, to talk about the transformations happening in HR organizations, and some of the key concepts and frameworks that can help HR leaders better adapt to these challenging times. To get a jump on the conversation, head over to the Mercer site and download a free copy of their latest whitepaper, 'It's Time for the Next Generation Service Delivery Model'.

Business is changing, the workforce is changing, and HR needs to change as well to stay current, relevant, and important. I hope you can join us to talk about how progressive organizations are changing the way HR services are delivered today.

It should be a great show and I hope you will join in this week!
