January 18, 2024

While these lunch discussions are among the most popular features of Executive Platforms’ events, they are by their very nature small-group private conversations among people who have opted in to engage on something that really matters to them. In this interview, Betty very generously shares some of the key takeaways of that conversation with a wider audience in the hopes that we can all do our part to improve access to Mental Health resources and destigmatize talking about this important issue.

Centering Equity in your DEI Journey — A Conversation with Toni Lowe of Huge

February 1, 2024

At the most recent edition of the North American HR Executive Summit we sat down with Toni Lowe, the Chief Diversity Equity Inclusion Officer at Huge, a creative consultancy that works with organizations ranging from Google and Nike to Audi and the NBA. Toni hosted a themed lunch discussion on the importance of Equity as the foundation upon which all DEI programming should be built upon, and in this interview she shares some of the most important takeaways from that conversation. The acronym of DEI sometimes lumps things together in a way that clouds issues and makes it difficult to prioritize work that HR practitioners can and should do to move their cultures forward. Toni makes a powerful case that Diversity and Inclusion cannot be achieved if Equity has not already been addressed and included on an ongoing basis, but what does that look like in real terms?

TA has always been an area of special expertise among HR professionals, and many organizations attribute their success at becoming employers or choice to how they attract and recruit their people in the first place. With that said, traditional methods can be time intensive, repetitive, and vulnerable to conscious and unconscious biases. All of that can be addressed and improved upon using the latest generation of HR tools and technologies. In this discussion we explore what HR leaders need to know about the evolving nature of recruiting. Give it a listen!

Jessica Jones of Alliance Technical Group — Culture Transfer Strategies During Mergers and Acquisitions

April 10, 2024

At the most recent edition of the North American HR Executive Summit we sat down with Jessica Jones, the VP of Human Resources & Legal Compliance at Alliance Technical Group. Jessica hosted a themed lunch discussion on culture transfer strategies during mergers and acquisitions, and in this interview she shared some of the key takeaways from that conversation. M&A activity is one of those topics where HR professionals have a lot of important work to do in a tight time frame, but are often reluctant to talk about specifics. One of the great advantages of the themed lunch discussion format is that it’s an hour around the table with people who opted into this specific topic because it’s relevant to their own experiences and expertise. What an opportunity for like-minded people to share best practices and lessons learned on an important but specific and sometimes sensitive topic. Give this episode a listen!
