From HAL to PAL: Roald Harvey Puts AI to Work For

With AI feeling as though it arrived in the workplace overnight, opinions are still mixed— from visions of HAL to your next best pal—with fears ranging from obsolescence to legal and privacy concerns and its genuine effectiveness. According to recent studies, nowhere are those concerns more prevalent in the organizational picture than in the HR function—and for admittedly good reasons. We sit down with Roald Harvey, MBA, CHRL, Senior Director of People with Athennian, to learn more about the potential and perils of AI, as well as its ability to empower not just HR, but the people power in any business.

Jafar Owainati Helps Stack the Deck for Building HR Tech Business Case

From its administrative origins to its strategic present, the HR profession has evolved alongside the burgeoning demands of employers and employees alike—and so too has the technology to support the vastly expanded and specialized aspects of HR. However, the HR budget has always been held to a higher degree of scrutiny, burdened by its historical representation as every business’ primary cost centre. We sit down with Jafar Owainati, co-founder and CEO of Barley, to talk about what HR really needs to consider when building out an HR tech stack and, perhaps even more importantly, how to communicate its value in building the business case.

Tess Collard Brings Micro-Moments of Meditation

In a world where the churn and change never seems to stop, what if there was a way to better buttress and better ourselves and our teams against the worst of it? What if it was as simple as breathing? We sit down with Tess Collard, founder of Chapter Two Meditation and co-founder of Eleven Eleven Talent Collective, to take a deep breath or two and explore how the superpowers of mindfulness are making major strides in business thanks to both the burgeoning science—and the indisputable results.

Jen Singhal Looks at ESG Framework as Future-Proofing Driver of Present Day Innovation

Aside from looming legislation and regulations, the push for Environmental Social Governance (ESG) has been accompanied by a growing realization among progressive companies that those three words can be distilled even further—smart business. As a prior corporate-commercial litigator who spent the past decade helping grow Benevity into a global, CSR success story before recently founding her own consultancy, few know how to put ESG to work like Jen Singhal. We sit down to talk about how to unlock ESG’s potential today, and why you likely already have, at least in part.

Amanda Mallow Helps HR Talk the Walk of Private Equity: Bringing ‘Pie in the Sky’ to the Table for Top Talent

For those focused on the hard tangibles in a total compensation package, too often private equity compensation pitches miss the plate entirely with talent and dismissed as pie in the sky. We sit down with Amanda Mallow, EVP and Chief Human Resources Officer of Sophos, a cybersecurity company with a large Vancouver presence, to talk about why, particularly in tough economic times, when it comes to private equity compensation, communications are as key as the offerings themselves.

Jarvis Sam Encourages Leaders to Explore the ‘Why’ of DEI (While Looking to Obstacles Within)

DEI done right makes a world of difference—for those who need it most. We sit down with author, activist, educator and catalyst Jarvis Sam to discuss what ‘done right’ looks like and why the majority of DEI efforts, while well intentioned, fall short of expectations for employers and underrepresented talent groups alike. As founder and CEO of The Rainbow Disruption, his insights and experience continue to carry the true potential and profit of DEI forward.

QueerTech Breaks the Data Barrier with First-Of-Kind Research Report

While often touted as progressive, Canada’s tech industry has, until now, lacked the data to back up its claims – particularly in regards to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. With non-profit QueerTech’s release of Queering the Tech Ecosystem: Barriers and Opportunities—the first research report targeting the queer experience in Canadian tech—that progressive picture is largely questioned by the data compiled. We sat down with QueerTech’s Co-Founder Naoufel Testaouni to talk about not-so-ancient history, the impact of quantifying the queer experience in tech and finding the good news in hard numbers and first steps.

Shona McGlashan Offers Piece of Mind for Leaders Seeking Peace of Mind Around Mental Health at Work

Previously a topic plagued by taboos, mental health has become such a common concern for organizations that the doors of discussion are opening. For change strategist and governance professional Shona McGlashan, that conversation has become more prevalent in her work, offering leaders organizational insight in the areas of governance, equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and, increasingly, wellbeing of the mental sort. That all three speak to a unity of greater purpose and profitability is the mark of an evolving economy grounded in greater demands from talent and greater stressors for everyone—leaders included—than ever. We sit down to better define workplace responsibilities, as well as leave leaders with a few healthy practices of their own.

Google’s Anna Baird Talks AI, EQ and Taking Ideation Into Action

While leaders of every industry will speak to the virtues of innovation, when asked to actually define it and point the way for others, most agree that would be a great idea. Fortunately, as one of the world’s largest employers, Google was built upon empowering innovation across a global talent base, which currently sits at about 180,000. We sit down with Google Culture and Innovation Evangelist, Anna Baird to talk about what really drives innovation at any scale—and why these very human traits are of even greater importance to unlock the full potential of the emerging AI and generative AI technologies.
