Sims Tillirson brings a ton of energy to today’s episode where we talk about employee benefits, music, bringing your whole self to work, and how HR Tech vendors need to better refocus how they sell to HR Leaders. Sims and I talk about his newest HR Song “Ice-cream Tuesday”. When we discuss benefits, we’re not just talking about what benefits matter but focus more on making sure your benefits drive employee experience. How do you connect your team to the benefits you’ve invested in for them?  Sims dives into his story of how he integrates his whole self (the good, the bad, the ugly) into his professional life. We finish the episode talking about how selling to HR needs to be different than just the same old sales metrics. Hint: focus on connections, not outbound calling stats. Focus on outcomes not just demoing your “industry leading product”

We are so excited to welcome our producer Laura Hundley from behind the screen to on the mic for this episode. We talked about how All About HR came to be and debut a new segment we have been talking about for quite some time “The HR Feed”. The HR Feed is a roll-up of funny, informative, smart, or interesting HR/workforce related posts we have found on social media or online over the past weeks. We also dive into the importance of onboarding / collecting employee feedback early in the employees' journey with your organization. The show wraps up with some best practices regarding data collection from your employee population. Enjoy!
