      <title>Can HR Actually Be Transparent with the Frontline?</title>
      <description>Send us Fan Mail
Transparency is one of the most overused words in leadership.
Most organizations say they practice it. Few do when it actually matters.
Frontline employees feel the impact of decisions first: Schedule changes, staffing shortages, safety pressure, and new expectations with the same resources. Too often, they are the last to hear why those decisions were made, or to have someone in the room advocating for them.
That silence has a cost.&amp;nbsp;
When people stop trusting what they are told, they stop speaking up. When frontline voices disappear, risk goes up and performance goes down.
On this episode, we are joined by Aman Malhi, Director of People, Culture, and Operations at Refrigerative Supply. Aman is an award-winning leader known for building strong cultures in complex, frontline environments where transparency and advocacy are tested every day.

      <title>Operationalizing Engagement: How Leaders Make It Part of the Work</title>
      <description>Send us Fan Mail
Engagement tools have long been treated as a “nice to have.”
Something you invest in when there’s extra budget.And something that quickly gets cut when priorities shift.
But the reality is that work is constantly changing.
AI is reshaping roles faster than teams can adapt to the last changes, and frontline employees are being asked to do more with less.At the same time, managers are expected to drive performance while keeping people motivated.
In that environment, engagement can’t just sit on the sidelines or take a timeout.
Because when recognition, feedback, and connection aren’t built into how and where work actually happens, they disappear.
So maybe the better question isn’t how do we improve engagement.
It’s: how do we make it part of how work gets done every day?
That's exactly what we dig into in the newest episode of HR on the Frontline,&amp;nbsp; with Kendall Carroll, Director of Product Management at UKG, for Operationalizing Engagement: How Leaders Make It Part of the Work.

      <title>Connection, Community &amp; Frontline Performance w/ JD Dillon </title>
      <description>Send us Fan Mail
We spend a lot of time talking about frontline performance through metrics, productivity, and turnover.
But underneath all of that are people doing hard work every day, often under pressure, while trying to feel supported by the people and systems around them.
Today we’re joined by JD Dillon, former Disney leader, frontline enablement strategist, and author of the new book The Frontline Enablement Playbook.
One of the strongest themes throughout the book is the idea that connection and community are not separate from frontline performance. They shape whether people stay, whether teams trust each other, and whether great work is actually sustainable in these high pressure environments.

      <title>Resilient Workforces: How People Leaders Can Guide Teams Through AI and Change w/ Kat Kibben (Three Ears Media)</title>
      <description>Send us Fan Mail
Uncertainty has become the default setting of work.
AI is reshaping roles faster than job descriptions can keep up.
Frontline teams are being asked to adapt to new tools, new expectations, and new metrics, often without clarity on what’s coming next.
Recruiters are navigating a market that swings between talent shortages and hiring freezes overnight.
And leaders?
They’re expected to project confidence in a future they can’t even start to predict.
The conversation about uncertainty often centers on control—how to reduce it, how to automate it, or how to out-strategize it.
But maybe the more important question is: how do we navigate uncertainty with confidence when certainty isn’t an option?

      <title>When Culture Becomes Reactive w/ Lia Seth (Cylinder)</title>
      <description>Send us Fan Mail
Most organizations eventually hit a moment where the employee experience starts to fray.
It might happen during rapid growth, a restructuring, when new leadership comes in, or simply the slow accumulation of processes that no longer fit the reality of work.
Leaders often respond reactively, patching these issues as they surface, launching new programs, rewriting policies, and trying to rebuild trust after burning that bridge.
The deeper question is whether the systems underneath work for everyone in the first place.
Accessibility and inclusion are often treated as optional or secondary, but in practice, they should shape whether people can perform, feel like they belong, and thrive inside an organization over time.

And yet, we’re surprised when one of the most powerful drivers of performance and trust slips through the cracks.&amp;nbsp;
Not because leaders don’t value it. But because recognition is rarely designed to succeed. It’s left to chance, memory, or moments that are too late, too small, or miss the people who matter most.
So what happens when recognition stops being a nice to have and starts becoming intentional?&amp;nbsp;

      <title>Say Less, Mean More: Internal Comms That Work w/ Pamela Kaye (PK Communications)</title>
      <description>Send us Fan Mail
Most companies think internal communication is updates, newsletters, or another Slack post that just gets ignored.
But, employees experience it differently.
They experience it as trust, or the loss of it.They experience it as alignment, or confusion.They experience it as proof that leadership means what it says, or that it doesn’t.
In a moment defined by change, layoffs, AI disruption, and culture strain, internal communication has become one of the most underappreciated drivers of retention.

      <title>Is Connection a Crucial Performance Metric? w/ Dr Thorp (Quantum Connections)</title>
      <description>Send us Fan Mail
For years, organizations have tried to buy loyalty.
Higher pay. Better perks. More benefits.
But a growing body of evidence suggests that none of those are the real needle-movers.
A recently released study of 12,000 U.S. employees by Quantum Connections: Global Dialogue Initiative points to a striking truth:
Employees who feel seen by their direct supervisors stay longer, contribute more ideas, and help drive profitability.
It’s not compensation or perks moving the needle — it’s connection.
This research offers a timely reminder: the strongest organizations aren’t built on dashboards alone, but on meaningful human relationships — especially between managers and their teams.

Flexible staffing gets talked about like a silver bullet.
“More agility.”
“Lower costs.”
“Better coverage.”
But on the frontline, flexibility can either unlock performance, or quietly break trust, culture, and consistency.
Today, we’re digging into what actually works when it comes to flexible staffing for frontline success, not theory, not buzzwords, but real-world execution.

Gratitude was never meant to be a checklist item.
Especially in hiring.
Candidates feel pressured to send the “perfect” thank-you note… and some managers treat it like a secret pass/fail test.
But here’s the truth: a scripted thank-you email isn’t the same as genuine appreciation — and confusing the two is hurting both candidates and companies.

      <title>The overlooked side of DEI w/ Rachel Shaw (Rachel Shaw Inc)</title>
      <description>Send us Fan Mail
DEI is talked about constantly, but there’s a whole side of it that doesn’t get the attention it deserves.
Disability inclusion and caregiver support aren’t “nice-to-haves.” They’re a big part of the workforce and ignoring them means we’re leaving out the people who need equity and belonging the most.
Our guest today has spent her career helping organizations get this right, with practical, empathy driven strategies that support employees and protect the business.

      <title>Making Parental Leave a Competitive Advantage w/Lydia Bowser (Wave HQ)</title>
      <description>Send us Fan Mail
Today’s working parents don’t want to have to compromise their career progress for the sake of their families – or vice versa.&amp;nbsp;
That’s why a good parental leave policy can actually be a competitive advantage when it comes to attracting and retaining staff.
But what goes into getting parental leave right? How do you ensure that working parents are given the support they need, both before and after their new arrivals? And how do you ensure that they get the same opportunities to grow and advance as others in your company, and don’t have to put their careers on hold?&amp;nbsp;

      <title>NOW of work w/ Guusto Co-Founders Skai and Joe </title>
      <description>Send us Fan Mail
Guusto Co-founders Skai and Joe, recently appeared on the NOW of work podcast, powered by Mercer.&amp;nbsp;It made for a great conversation and so we thought we would share it with you here.&amp;nbsp;"Please join us in welcoming Skai Dalziel and Joe Facciolo, Co-Founders and Co-CEOs of Guusto! Today's discussion will delve into Guusto's history of building a culture of recognition from the head office to the frontlines.
Old pals, Skai Dalziel and Joe Facciolo, go all the way back to 1988 when they grew up together in a small town just north of Toronto. They both attended the University of Western Ontario, where Joe studied Psychology and Sociology, while Skai studied Engineering and Business. After graduating, they both traveled the world for a few years before returning home in the midst of the global financial crisis.
In 2008, they kickstarted their first business venture, Dining Tours (think high-end food and wine crawls). Despite local success, they were unable to expand without strong relationships with restaurants in other cities. Around 2012, Skai and Joe noticed that restaurants would often receive calls from people requesting to send a drink to a friend for a celebration or to show appreciation to a client. However, the staff would often refuse to take credit cards over the phone. Aha! There should be an app for this!
From 2012 to 2017, the pal duo built Guusto from the ground up. They partnered with a clean drinking water foundation that fueled their motivation.

Guusto Co-founders Skai and Joe, recently appeared on the NOW of work podcast, powered by Mercer.&amp;nbsp;It made for a great conversation and so we thought we would share it with you here.&amp;nbsp;"Please join us in welcoming Skai Dalziel and Joe Facciolo, Co-Founders and Co-CEOs of Guusto! Today's discussion will delve into Guusto's history of building a culture of recognition from the head office to the frontlines.
Old pals, Skai Dalziel and Joe Facciolo, go all the way back to 1988 when they grew up together in a small town just north of Toronto. They both attended the University of Western Ontario, where Joe studied Psychology and Sociology, while Skai studied Engineering and Business. After graduating, they both traveled the world for a few years before returning home in the midst of the global financial crisis.
In 2008, they kickstarted their first business venture, Dining Tours (think high-end food and wine crawls). Despite local success, they were unable to expand without strong relationships with restaurants in other cities. Around 2012, Skai and Joe noticed that restaurants would often receive calls from people requesting to send a drink to a friend for a celebration or to show appreciation to a client. However, the staff would often refuse to take credit cards over the phone. Aha! There should be an app for this!

      <title>Making Parental Leave a Competitive Advantage w/Lydia Bowser (Wave HQ)</title>
      <description>Send us Fan Mail
Today’s working parents don’t want to have to compromise their career progress for the sake of their families – or vice versa.&amp;nbsp;
That’s why a good parental leave policy can actually be a competitive advantage when it comes to attracting and retaining staff.
But what goes into getting parental leave right? How do you ensure that working parents are given the support they need, both before and after their new arrivals? And how do you ensure that they get the same opportunities to grow and advance as others in your company, and don’t have to put their careers on hold?&amp;nbsp;
In this week's Culture Clinic, Guusto’s Co-Founder Skai Dalziel talks to Lydia Bowser, Senior Director, People &amp; Culture at Wave HQ, about how to build parental leave policies that work.
