The New Talent Code

Mary Faulkner, principal at IA-HR, joins The New Talent Code to discuss the questions every HR leader should be asking as they gear up for a business transformation.

As a talent strategist and problem solver, Faulkner has extensive experience helping organizations optimize their HR practices to take a more future-forward approach. She specializes in change management and teaching people how to transform their organizations from within.

This episode explores best practices for when to start the change management process, how to get leadership buy-in, and how to identify broken processes before embarking on a transformation journey.

Here are the biggest takeaways from the episode with Mary Faulkner:

- "If you find yourself constantly changing, but you don't have a change methodology to help support people through that change, all you're going to feel is chaos. It's never too soon to start thinking about change management, your communication plan, your training plan, your stakeholder identification." - Mary Faulkner [11:37]

- "The organizations where they centralize that ownership of a job description, I think it's smoother. So it's not the hiring managers reacting to something and having to rewrite it, somebody else is doing it for them. Someone who's knowledgeable, someone who understands the market, somebody who has talked to compensation." - Mary Faulkner [20:12]
