The POZCAST: Decoding Success with Adam Posner

LIVE from Transform 2025 in Las Vegas! Steve Hunt is focused on helping companies design and deploy technology-enabled processes to improve workforce adaptability, experience, and productivity. I believe that meaningful and fulfilling work is critical to human happiness. Creating high-quality work environments positively influences the lives of employees, their families, their managers, their customers, and their broader society. Better work environments create better world environments. In the 20+ years I've been doing this sort of work, I've had the fortune to play a role in the implementation of systems that have improved productivity and engagement of millions of employees working for hundreds of companies ranging from small start up organizations to the largest employers in the world. My experiences have also led to authoring hundreds of articles and presentations on topics related to strategic HR and workforce productivity as well as two books on HR process design and implementation: “Commonsense talent management: using strategic human resources to increase company performance” (Wiley Press, 2014) and “Hiring success: the art and science of staffing assessment and employee selection” (Wiley Press, 2007). We dig into: - What’s the biggest mistake companies make when designing technology-enabled HR processes? - How can organizations create work environments that truly enhance adaptability and productivity? - From your research and experience, what’s the key to hiring success in today’s workforce?
