Leaders Get Burned Out Too
Last week Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., President and CEO of SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management), sounded an alarm about a group we don’t always think about when we talk about burnout: leaders.
“Recruit to Retain in the Age of AI” Comes to NHRMA Conference
I’m delighted to be speaking at @NHRMA-Northwest Human Resource Management Association’s 88th Annual Conference & Tradeshow, taking place September 9th – 11th in Spokane.
I’ll be presenting my newest keynote, Recruit to Retain in the Age of AI: The Power of Human Connection
on September 10th 12:45 – 2:00! That gives us plenty of time to take action.
Help Shape the AI in HR Conversation: Please take this 3-Question Survey
I have a hunch that corporate HR departments may not be using AI as much as we assume.
As I prepare for my upcoming NHRMA session, “Recruit to Retain in the Age of AI: The Power of Human Connection,” I’m doing research to find out.
How Do We Stop Losing Our Best Employees?
On August 5th an article by SHRM President and CEO Johnny C. Taylor, Jr. caught my attention: “Ask Johnny: How Do We Stop Losing Our Best Employees?”
The situation will sound familiar to many leaders. A well-liked manager left an organization for another company. In the months that followed, several other employees left to join that same company.
Were they being poached? Maybe. But Taylor asks a much more important question: Why were they willing to leave?
One line in particular resonated with me: “Retention isn’t built when employees receive another offer. It’s built every day, long before they do.” I whole-heartedly agree.
Leadership Goes Beyond Making Decisions
After my recent keynote at the Texas Bankers Association HR Conference, I had the pleasure of meeting one of my new community banker friends, John Byrd, AVP of Human Resources at TrustTexas Bank.
John and I had a thoughtful conversation about leadership, employee engagement, and what makes people choose to stay with an organization. He shared an article he had written for SHRM, entitled “Leadership Goes Beyond Making Decisions and Giving Directions,” and it reinforced something I believe wholeheartedly.
What AI Can’t Measure: The Human Side of Employee Retention
AI can screen thousands of resumes in seconds. It can summarize interviews, recommend candidates, predict turnover risk, and automate onboarding tasks. But after an employee accepts the offer, something changes. Retention no longer depends on algorithms. It depends on people.

AI is Not Solving Your Retention Problem
AI is everywhere in today’s workplace. Organizations are investing heavily in tools that promise greater speed, efficiency, and productivity. Every few months another report tells us AI adoption is exploding.
Yet Gallup’s latest workplace research reveals a surprising reality: employee engagement isn’t improving.
Gallup’s research, released July 21, 2026, found that employee engagement remains stuck at just 31%, costing the U.S. economy an estimated $2 trillion annually in lost productivity.
