This new series brings together several leading professionals in human resources and employee insights to engage in bold discussions, creative challenges, and fresh perspectives on the future of work.
Vancouver, British Columbia, October 28th / PRNewswire / -- Award-winning employee insight leader and creator of Visier Workforce AI, Visier, today announced the launch of “Talk Nerdy to Me” – a brand-new video podcast series. Unlike traditional executive interviews, this series takes topics beyond conventional discussions to focus on real experiences that shape work styles. The show invites renowned individuals from institutions such as Eaton, Merck, Providence, and eBay to discuss artificial intelligence, employee insights, and how bold leadership driven by curiosity can reshape the way organizations operate.
As artificial intelligence transforms the workplace, human resources leaders are facing increasing pressure to go beyond traditional processes and demonstrate measurable business impact. However, some of the most valuable discussions about the next steps do not take place in boardrooms or industry conferences; rather, they emerge when industry leaders are encouraged to challenge established assumptions, share unfiltered opinions, and embrace a degree of unpredictability.
This is precisely the starting point of “Talk Nerdy to Me”. The series is hosted by the chief preacher of Visier, formerly from CHRO Paul Rubenstein, and draws inspiration from non-traditional interview formats such as “Hot Ones”, combining thought-provoking questions with unexpected hands-on activities. In each 30-minute episode, guests will discuss some of the most pressing issues facing today’s workforce while also painting portraits, decorating cakes, making sock puppets, and completing other creative challenges.
Paul Rubenstein signifies: "The future of HR belongs to those who are not afraid to challenge traditional thinking, pose sharp questions, and rethink the way organizations operate. At the core of this series is the celebration of the curiosity, creativity, and courage required to transform employee insights into meaningful business impact."
This series invites industry leaders to provide different perspectives on this challenge, including:
- Senior Directors Workforce Analytics & Planning from Eaton, discussing how to take personnel analysis beyond the reporting level to empower managers and link labor decisions with business outcomes.
- Visier Chief Human Resources Officer Pramukh Jeyathilak, discusses how to recruit talent in light of artificial intelligence reshaping jobs, and how to combine the art with the science in talent decision-making.
- Aptitude Research Founder and Chief Analyst Madeline Laurano, discussing why HR must take on more risks, challenge traditional methods, and measure their impact through business results.
- Merck, Vice President of Human Resources and Employee Analytics, Jeremy Shapiro, discusses how artificial intelligence can enable HR to get rid of administrative tasks and create new opportunities for rethinking work design and employee experience.
- eBay Senior Director of Employee Analytics Scott Judd, discussing how to transform employee insights into actionable recommendations in order to drive sustainable organizational change.
These conversations collectively reveal a common theme: The next chapter for HR is not just about having better data or adopting more artificial intelligence, but about possessing curiosity, business acumen, and courage to transform these capabilities into meaningful change.
This launch also marks that Visier has adopted a new approach in terms of ideological leadership, reflecting its evolving brand strategy as well as its long-term commitment to what it calls the “People Nerds” community of passionate and data-driven human resources professionals. By combining substantial workplace insights with more entertaining and personality-driven formats, Visier aims to make complex employee issues more understandable and reach a broader audience.
