Meanwhile, during this week's "Money Confessions" segment on Girls That Invest, the hosts discussed a controversial opinion they encountered on Reddit. The opinion, that art students should not receive government subsidies, sparked a conversation about the value of arts education. The hosts acknowledged that this is a divisive issue, but encouraged a thoughtful dialogue about the importance of arts in society. In summary, ShareSite's investment tracking platform is a game-changer for investors, and the arts education debate is a reminder of the importance of considering diverse perspectives.

    • The Value of Arts Education: Balance and Personal Growth vs. Job Security and EarningsArts education offers balance, personal growth, and potential recognition through self-teaching, but lacks job security and high earnings potential. The importance depends on individual perspectives and goals.

      The value of arts education is a topic of ongoing debate. While some argue that arts matter and provide essential balance to our lives, others question its relevance due to lack of job security and potential low earning potential. The arts landscape has also evolved, with opportunities for self-taught artists to gain recognition through social media and streaming platforms. However, the lack of funding for arts education in universities could limit access to formal training. Ultimately, the importance of arts education depends on individual perspectives and career goals. It's crucial to recognize that both arts and sciences contribute unique value to society and personal growth.

    • The Importance of Arts EducationWhile degrees and certifications are vital for some careers, arts education enriches society and personal growth. Balancing funding for arts education with other essential areas is crucial, acknowledging the value of both practical skills and artistic expression.

      While education and practical skills are important for career advancement, the arts should not be undervalued or overlooked. The speaker acknowledges the importance of degrees and certifications for certain professions, but also emphasizes the significance of arts in our society. However, she recognizes the challenge of balancing funding for arts education with other essential areas like healthcare, engineering, and finance. Furthermore, she highlights the privilege of being able to pursue education for personal interest and the need to be mindful of the socio-economic backgrounds that shape people's perspectives on education. Ultimately, she suggests that finding a balance between different areas of investment is crucial, recognizing the value of both practical skills and artistic expression.

    • Why Millionaires and Billionaires Aren't Giving Enough to the ArtsThe speaker discussed the perceived imbalance in funding between the arts and other industries and questioned why wealthy individuals don't contribute more to arts funding. The conversation also touched on the importance of recognizing the value of all roles and the potential for simplifying business transactions with tap to pay on iPhone.

      While the arts are valuable and essential to society, there is a perceived imbalance in funding between the arts and other industries, such as finance, science, and law. The speaker questions why millionaires and billionaires, who have benefited greatly from the arts industry, do not contribute more to its funding. The conversation also touched on the hierarchies and biases that exist in various fields, with some roles being undervalued or looked down upon. From a business perspective, every transaction represents the culmination of hard work and dedication. The speaker then introduced a solution for simplifying business payments using tap to pay on iPhone powered by Stripe.

    • Innovation in Contactless Payments with Tap to Pay on iPhone and StripeIPhone's Tap to Pay feature with Stripe enables contactless payments, expanding business reach, enhancing customer experience, and increasing revenue without additional hardware.

      Tap to pay on iPhone and Stripe offers a game-changing solution for businesses of all sizes, enabling contactless payments directly from iPhones without the need for additional hardware. This innovation leads to increased revenue, expanded reach, and enhanced customer experience. The government could learn from this approach, making decisions through a diverse board to ensure fair distribution of resources. In the arts and technology world, collaboration is crucial. The arts enrich our lives in various ways, from entertainment to essential services like music during medical procedures. Therefore, it's essential to coexist and work together to bridge the divide between different fields. Overall, the tap to pay on iPhone and Stripe discussion highlights the importance of innovation, collaboration, and fair distribution of resources.

    Meet the Workforce Therapy Files Team

    Meet the Workforce Therapy Files Team

    File 1:  We’re excited to launch our Workforce Therapy Files Podcast!  We thought it would be best to give you a brief, behind the scenes introduction to how this podcast concept evolved.  We’re actively work in the recruiting and staffing space.  Our conversations will benefit any business leader or HR professional challenged with building the right team, while managing large staffing requirements on a tight implementation schedule.  Oh, and it might be a good idea if you knew a little about the 3 of us, as well.

    Who Are These Professionals?

    Jamie Swaim, SPHR – Founder of Parcel, a team of HR consultants.  She’s worked in human resources for over 23 years.  She’s been involved in the entire HR lifecycle from pre-hire to retire.  Her experience involves working with a range of businesses from start-ups to Fortune 5 organizations. 

    Molley Ricketts - CEO & Founder, Incipio Workforce Solutions.  Incipio partners with companies for recruitment and retention efforts.  She’s spent over 25 years in recruiting.  She’s worked in compliance-oriented industries such as banking, down to third-party recruiting for the small business owner. 

    Jason Heflin – Owner, Crowd South.  Crowd South is a marketing agency heavily focused on workforce solutions and employer branding solutions.  Recruiting teams aren’t trained to be marketers, so this creates an inherent gap between the target audience and the company attempting to effectively recruit from that audience.  They have a successful record of working with Fortune 500 and Fortune 100 companies to help them to achieve their recruiting and staffing objectives.

    What Inspired the Idea of Launching a Podcast?

    Jason explains how the three of us have a solid track record of partnering together on various client projects.  Sometimes the group works together, while other engagements may not involve all of us.  What we realized is that we are encountering organizations with common challenges.  We bring a tremendous level of experience and perspectives often leading to effective solutions for our clients.  Based on this realization, we decided to bring it together in a podcast format to share information, tips and advice and third-party perspectives.  The idea is to provide some guidance, as well as an opportunity to lay the foundation for a conversation with prospective clients.

    What’s Behind the Title, Workforce Therapy Files?

    We understand how frustrating many HR-related challenges can be, because we actively work in this space.  We want the episodes to provide “therapy” for those who are feeling overwhelmed.  Sure, it’s a little tongue and cheek, but it’s real, right? 

    For those trying to recruit and hire hundreds or thousands of new employees and building retention programs, there’s not simply a formula.  Maybe, you’re feeling as if you’re left to figure it out on your own.  We going to help by sharing the knowledge we’ve developed over the years.

    Does It Feel Like the Fight of Your Life?

    Jamie recounts how exasperated an HR professional felt in describing her current assignment.  It sounded great at the outset, but this individual quickly learned that the tasks and expectations were going far beyond the picture originally painted.  This person was at her wits end just trying to keep up with the day-to-day grind of her role and the environment. 

    Spending 70-80% of your awake hours at work can be emotionally draining.  If we can provide a path to improving the candidate and employee experience, it has a direct impact on those individuals and our communities. 

    The Problem May Not Be What You Think It Is

    Molley describes how easy it is to focus on an arbitrary metric, rather than fully breaking down the actual needs and understanding how to best satisfy those company requirements.  She comments on how it may a deeper issue that’s actually driving the problem set that needs to be addressed.

    For instance, could it be something within the company culture that’s driving turnover?  What’s the cost to the bottom line if it’s not effectively addressed?  You may benefit from a different perspective enabling you to uncover a better way to reach a solution. 

    The market itself has evolved.  How you hired in the past may not be effective in today’s environment.  Mid-level managers and below may pursue multiple opportunities, simultaneously.  If your process isn’t efficient, you could easily lose out on the chance to hire a particular individual.  There are processes, tools and technologies available to make your communication flow much more in tune with the expectations and needs of today’s prospective employees.  You have to engage early and consistently.  We can help you to do that sooner rather than later.

    Is Your Company Ready?

    There are many situations in which the team is assigned to manage aggressive recruiting and hiring goals, but the company hasn’t adequately provided the right tools to achieve these goals.  Ensuring the proper strategy has been built, before the initiative is launched, is often overlooked.

    As this podcast evolves, you’ll hear us talk about metrics and performance, but we’re also going to focus on the overall experience, employee/candidate sentiment, the impact the challenge has on those who are tasked with implementing these recruiting, hiring and retention programs.  Do they have the proper tools, budgets and/or constraints, as well as expectations?

    What’s the Real New Hire Journey?

    Focusing on those critical first few days after the new hire steps into the role is a key activity.  What made them take the initial step to apply for the position?  How did you curate that communication?  Are you delivering on the promises that were inherent in those conversations about culture, roles and responsibilities, and other expectations? 

    It Doesn’t Have to Feel This Way

    In closing, Jamie comments about how she’s looking forward to helping HR professionals get back to what made the role so much fun, in the first place.  That’s much better than the state of mind she typically encounters; namely, exhaustion.  It’s not supposed to feel like you’re in the fight of your life.  As she says, “Connecting people with awesome opportunities is supposed to feel pretty magical.” 

    So, there it is.  That’s what the Workforce Therapy Files, an Employer Solutions Podcast, is all about and why we want you to follow along with us.  We’re three different professionals with our own unique experiences and perspectives.  We’re going to bring it all together, along with a little irreverent humor, because sometimes, you just have to laugh about it.

    Need Help Supporting Your Company’s Recruiting and Staffing Goals?
