  • HR in a Charity - Frank Advice March 19 episode

    I listened to this podcast in amazement. I am stunned that after all the horrific things Jennie has done at TPFA, you are posting a podcast pretending she is something great.

    Let me quote the Alberta Government who just stripped TPFA as the Management Body of their responsibilities of looking after 16 of their buildings “citing concerns of safety and security “ of the seniors that live at those properties under Jennie’s so called great leadership.

    Her HR practices are so great that her HR depar... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Problem with HR Strategy
Q: What should a HR strategy actually accomplish for a business, not just be a wish list?
A HR strategy should define where the business is headed, identify the capabilities needed to get there, and specify what changes are required, ensuring a direct link between people initiatives and business outcomes rather than simply listing HR programs.
HR Strategy - Looking Outside our Organizations
Q: How are you processing around AI?
Treat AI as part of a continuing evolution, retrain the workforce to understand AI capabilities and limitations, and emphasize engagement and reassurance to employees while gradually implementing AI to augment rather than replace core roles.
HR Strategy - Looking Outside our Organizations
Q: So if someone is watching this and going, holy, I'm running my HR function, our HR function is totally internally focused, how do you suggest they start changing that focus and perspective?
Act proactively by creating two groups within the HR team: one focused on maintaining stable internal processes, and another dedicated to monitoring external trends, inviting knowledgeable outsiders to present, and incorporating those insights into annual or six-month planning to begin iterative changes.
What is Constructive Dismissal?
Q: From a practical HR standpoint, what is one thing employers shouldKnow before making a significant change to an employee's role?
Contract language doesn't automatically grant a complete defense to a constructive dismissal claim; employers should assess the actual scope of change, consider providing notice, and possibly use amendment letters or new contracts with explicit consideration to avoid unilateral changes.
What is Constructive Dismissal?
Q: What are the most common things that trigger a valid constructive dismissal claim?
Significant changes to pay structures and duties are the most common triggers, especially when employees feel personally wronged by a demotion or pay cut; there's a strong incentive for employees to pursue claims when they perceive a major, unfavorable shift in their situation.
