ATWC EP33 – Nicole Martin shares why HR is everything

Making Work Better: Employment Law & Workplace Challenges

“HR has changed. HR is no longer the compliance department, it shouldn’t be the police department, and it better not be the therapist’s office.”

That’s just a taste of what you’ll get in this podcast. Tune in as Kristen shares the mic with Nicole Martin, founder and CEO of human resource management consultancy HR Boost, to discuss what got her started in HR consulting, living each day with presence and purpose, and projecting positive energy. Kristen and Nicole also examine the challenges of talent acquisition and retention, immigration and technology in relation to the talent shortage, becoming aware of one’s cognitive gifts, and the need for cultivating an intentional workplace culture as opposed to a “culture by default.” If you pay close attention, you’ll also learn Nicole’s unique and favorite interview question!

Nicole Martin conceives of HR as more than just payroll and benefits, maintaining that “HR is everything.” This insight led her to undertake HR consulting post-recession in 2010 and to launch her start-up. She found a few initial clients, created an impactful business name, and has been leveraging her passion and energy to create winning workplaces ever since. Nicole has shared her insight and passion with the world through her several books, including The Talent Emergency, The Human side of Profitability, and The Power of Joy and Purpose. She also serves as the host of the internet TV show HR in the Fast Lane.
