Today on the HR Happy Hour Show, Steve and Trish talked about the most pressing issue facing HR leaders, organizations, and the workplace right now - the Coronavirus outbreak. We talked about some of the challenges facing HR and workplace leaders when dealing with the Coronavirus, the importance of increasing communication and being transparent with employees as this situation develops, and discussed how the disease is directly impacting organizations of all kinds.

In such a fast-moving and uncertain situation, HR has to make sure they remain deeply informed of the latest developments, understand how to prepare for more large scale remote and work from home scenarios, and to think about how individual employees and even their families may be affected. We also shared some of our own observations on the crisis, making decisions around events and business travel, and how to make sure that we remain safe while also making sure we can support our clients and partners.

This week on the HR Happy Hour Show, we were joined by Paul Rubenstein, Chief People Officer at Visier, for a conversation on new ways of thinking about workforce planning, learning agility and reskilling, and avoiding the headcount trap, when planning for the people and skills needed for the future. Traditional, headcount driven workforce planning needs to be reimagined to meet the dynamic and evolving needs of the business, and to help organizations prepare to address skills and capability gaps. We also talked about the importance of learning agility - both from an organizational and HR viewpoint, as well as with individual learners.

Additionally, we talked about transitioning to an HR leadership role from a consulting and business leader role, and how that experience helps shape your role in HR.
