In this podcast we talk with Harry Glantz, an accomplished HR leader and agent of change. Harry recently retired as the senior vice president/chief human resources officer at Railworks Corporation, which does maintenance and construction for railroads. Our discussion includes what employers need to do now with respect to the changes that have taken place with today’s workforce and the prevalence of remote working. While many employees may not be ready to come back to the office fulltime, Harry believes that others miss the opportunity to interact with management and basically “show off” the project they’re working on. That conflict is just one of the important topics we explore with Harry who also gives us a unique perspective on collaboration.

So if you want to know:

– How collaboration can only be effective if it involves a cross section of the organization

– About the importance of senior executives being visible to their employees

– What may happen if the economy doesn’t improve in the next few months

– Why senior management shouldn’t count on virtual meetings with employees to create the connections today’s employees want

– About the need to look at every employee as a contract worker
