HR Labs Podcast: Torin Ellis talks beating unconscious bias

We’re thrilled to announce the third season of HR Labs, a podcast that explores how to create a better employee experience for all of your people. This season is hosted by Cornerstone’s Chief Learning Officer and VP of Organizational Effectiveness Jeff Miller and Chief Diversity Officer Duane La Bom. Through conversations with change-makers, activists, executives and experts, they’ll explore strategies for taking diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) initiatives from intention to action. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen. Unconscious bias in the workplace can be a fraught topic. While there’s research to suggest that some 95% of the population holds unconscious or implicit biases, some experts doubt the validity of this research. And despite more companies adopting unconscious bias training to help boost diversity and inclusion in the workplace, these efforts by themselves often fall short. The way forward, said Torin Ellis on the latest episode of HR Labs, is "to come at this [DEI] conversation differently." Listen to the episode here: Apple — Spotify Meet DEI Expert, Torin Ellis Torin is a diversity strategist, author, and co-host of the Crazy and the King podcast. He works with companies to advance their diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging initiatives, whether that’s by optimizing the talent acquisition process or engaging leadership teams. Through this work, he’s seen that companies often use unconscious bias training to show their commitment to DEI initiatives—but they don’t do the necessary work that lies beyond that initial training. Training, while important, shouldn’t take the place of real action—like having difficult conversations or actually holding employees and leadership accountable for their contributions to DEIB. Beyond Unconscious Bias Training In this episode, Jeff and Torin discuss what unconscious bias is as well some of the short- and long-term steps leaders can take to identify and mitigate bias in their organization at every value point— from recruiting and other talent strategies to employer brand, supply chain, and more. Check out the latest episode to learn more about what Torin says organizations and people can do to lift the "curtain of complacency and mediocrity" when it comes to diversity and inclusion in the workplace, and how he sees our greater humanity as the true ROI of DEI. And if you like the conversation, subscribe to HR Labs to never miss a future episode. HR Labs episodes are released biweekly: Check back with us on February 17 to hear Dr. Ella Washington and Duane La Bom discuss microaggressions. At the ~11:53 min mark of the episode, Torin states that the Democratic Party hasn’t had a Black woman lead a committee in 40-something years. After the interview, Torin shared with us that he misquoted from an interview Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence conducted on #RolandMartinUnfiltered. In the interview, Congresswoman Lawrence states there hasn’t been a Black female in a Democratic Caucus leadership position in over 40 years.

Compliance as a Culture Strategy

Compliance is an essential part of HR, but it is always the bare minimum and should be assessed and analyzed as part of an overall culture strategy. Issuing a policy that says "We don't discriminate" is not the same as a comprehensive inclusion and diversity program. Following the rules and filing reports are just part of creating a work environment where compliance happens on the way to larger goals for learning, performance, and wellness. But since HR never has to make the business case for compliance, it can be a persuasive approach to larger culture initiatives. In this on-demand webinar, we survey compliance issues, who they affect, and why it's essential to see compliance as a culture issue. You will learn: What compliance issues create risk for the organization What compliance issues create risk for employees Why people are the most important aspect of all compliance issues When compliance problems are symptoms instead of causes How to approach different compliance issues using tech, training, coaching and data How to make compliance an effective part of a comprehensive approach to work culture and strategy

Workology Podcast: Balancing High Growth with Employee Engagement, featuring Chirag Shah

Cornerstone's own Chirag Shah, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Growth Markets, joined the Workology podcast as a featured guest. Host, Jessica Miller-Merrell, and Shah discuss the pressure small & medium businesses face to grow at a rapid pace and the challenges that come with it. According to Shah, the biggest challenge SMBs encounter with growing their business is finding and retaining top talent. As the business grows, the talent scope and job responsibilities become more focused and specific, which makes finding the right talent a true scavenger hunt. Miller-Merrell and Shah also dive into specific examples of how Cornerstone "walks the walk" in terms of employee retention and development efforts, including "Development Day" where employees across the company teach courses on any and every topic (arts and crafts, anyone?). Listen to the podcast now and get expert insights on why employee development and engagement is more than a "nice to have" for every growing business. Click here to LISTEN NOW
