PODCAST - #HRHappyHour 263 - Introducing HR Market Watch

A few weeks back Trish McFarlane and I shared the exciting news of the launch of the HR Happy Hour Podcast Network, and shared the details on the first three new podcast titles joining the HR Happy Hour family. Two of the new podcasts, Research on the Rocks, with hosts Madeline Laurano and Mollie Lombardi, and We're Only Human, with host Ben Eubanks made their successful debuts on the network earlier this summer, and Trish and I can't be more pleased with how well both those shows have been received by the HR Happy Hour listeners.

Today I am really excited to share the debut episode of the third new podcast title on the HR Happy Hour Network, HR Market Watch, with host George LaRocque, industry analyst and founder of #HRWINS.

On HR Market Watch, George will focus on the HR Technology landscape, with a focus on new and emerging technologies from both startups and established solution providers, and share his and his guest's insights as to how these technology innovations can help you and your organization today.

On the first HR Market Watch show, George interviews Jamie True, CEO of LifeWorks, recently selected as 'The Next Great HR Technology Company' by attendees of the HR Technology Conference.

Details for this first show are below, and we can't be more excited to welcome George to the HR Happy Hour family!

The 19th Annual HR Technology Conference concluded last week, and on this episode of the HR Happy Hour Show, HR Tech Program Chair Steve Boese, and H3 HR Advisors CEO, and Conference speaker Trish McFarlane review some of the memorable sessions of the Conference, talk about some of the key themes and trends from the event, and talk about some of the key takeaways for HR and business leaders.

Steve and Trish cover some of the Conference's highlights, including the first ever Women in HR Tech Summit, the first 'Discovering the Next Great HR Technology Company' competition, the All-Star CHRO panel led by moderator Soledad O'Brien, the 2nd Annual HR Tech Hackathon, (and Hacklab), and what is always an attendee favorite - the Ideas and Innovators 'Ignite' presentations.

Plus, we talk about some of the innovations from the Expo floor, the continued importance of 'core' HR technologies like Payroll and Benefits, and the fact that the show probably needs some new intro and outro music.
