At HR Geckos, Jay continues to create, fuel, and encourage next-gen ideas, practices, and tools on Human Resources Technology, Leadership Development, Talent, and Compensation Strategies. In 2016, Jay founded the Global Indian Professional Network (GIPN), a non-profit focused on the professional development for Indian-Origin professionals and the advancement of global Indians in business. Together we discuss the human side of the pandemic. It’s effect on organizations, their leaders and employees. And we dig into the HR Geckos platform; discussing the reasons for automating employee queries and service delivery. It speaks to a trend that blurs employee and customer experience. Marketing and Sales organizations for years have architected customer experiences to reduce friction, increase engagement, and ultimately provide the individual with the information / inspiration they need to take the next step. It’s only more recently that HR professionals have shone a similar light on the employee experience. From hiring, orientation and onboarding, to learning, succession and performance management, there are predictable, repeatable interaction points between employees and their organizations. It was a really enjoyable, timely discussion and we hope you enjoy it.Jay PolakiJay Polaki is the founder of HR Geckos (www.hrgeckos.com), an HR Technology & Management company.
