Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The One Where HR Stops Assuming and Starts With Evidence with Prof. Rob Briner

Q: How should an HR director begin aligning HR activities with organizational objectives and demonstrate value?

Understand the business deeply, ensure HR activities tie to objectives, prioritize where HR can have the most impact, and measure intermediate outcomes to show progress.

The One Where HR Stops Assuming and Starts With Evidence with Prof. Rob Briner

Q: What should HR leaders do first to adopt an evidence-based approach in their function?

Define the business-relevant problem, gather input from multiple sources, apply a structured decision process, and only then consider interventions, with leadership supporting the process.

The One Where HR Stops Assuming and Starts With Evidence with Prof. Rob Briner

Q: On what HR ideas do the evidence challenge the most, and what actually happens when you start digging into the data?

Briner identifies three broad beliefs that are often assumed to be true but lack robust evidence, then expands to broader, more nuanced beliefs about topics like teams and performance, urging a structured, evidence-based approach.

The One Where We Introduce the Podcast

Q: What advice would you give leaders or HR professionals about shifting to systemic ways of working given current challenges?

Educate leaders to think systemically, consider coaching to develop those capabilities, and be prepared to replace leaders who cannot think in systems with more adaptable models and evidence-based frameworks.

The One Where We Introduce the Podcast

Q: Can you walk us through an example of linear thinking versus systemic thinking and why the latter changes the game?

Linear thinking leads to quick fixes and misaligned incentives; systemic thinking requires educating the entire organization to think in systems, so the whole system can become transparent and adapt to complexity.
