Reshaping HR

05/21/2026

A great big shout out to Amy Calder of Golden Innovation who was Reshaping HR's Q & A expert this week on: "AI Doesn’t Have to be Scary: Helping People Get Comfortable with What’s Next!"

Amy was engaging, professional and light-hearted when responding to the following questions:
· What are some small, low-risk ways HR teams can introduce AI tools to employees?
· How can HR address fear or skepticism around “AI taking jobs”?
· What messages help build trust and curiosity instead of resistance?
· How can leaders model openness to learning new tools?
· What policies or guardrails should HR consider early on?

Afterwards, our HR group had an open conversation on using AI in the HR world, leveraging technology to attract and recruit top talent and the length it takes to fill key roles in our organizations. It wouldn't be a roundtable, if I didn't end if with 2 of my corny jokes as well :)

Thank you Amy for supporting the HR community and spending your afternoon with us. Your insight is invaluable!

Wahoo... today's HR Roundtable was a great success with Kari Meixl of FVTC! Kari did a fabulous job and was truly engaging. She addressed some great questions on "Workforce Training Solutions" to include:

1. What are the most common challenges employers are facing when they are requesting training?
2. Why are generational gaps causing more issues now than ever before?
3. What are some of the obstacles companies face when implementing training for employees?
4. What resources are available from higher education institutions to support area employers with their training/hiring needs?
5. What makes a training successful?

Afterward, the group discussed setting up effective internship programs, moving from reactive to truly strategic workforce planning and coaching low performers.

We ended with highlighting key accomplishments so far in 2026 and WOW... our group is doing amazing things. Way to go! Thank you again to Kari for supporting the HR community.

Blizzards can't keep us HR professionals down! We had a great March HR Roundtable this week on the topic of Insurance, Talent & Risk: Redefined. A great big shout out to Zach Kaiser and Tera Nelson of McClone Insurance who did a fabulous job!

They addressed some key questions in a fun, engaging and informative way:
- How can HR, finance, and risk leaders align without working in silos?
- What cost and value levers in benefits and insurance do HR leaders often overlook, and how can understanding them create real clarity and confidence?
- How can HR leaders balance culture and engagement with compliance and cost pressures?
- What practical steps help employees become better consumers of healthcare and benefits?
- How are leading organizations redefining risk management to include not just insurance, but people, performance, and growth?

After, the group discussed some innovative and unique benefits that companies are offering to retain/attract employees, how to present benefit bars to employees, and finding the right ratio of managers to staff.

On behalf of Reshaping HR and our roundtable members, we truly appreciate Zach and Tera's participation and support to the HR community! Keep on changing the world, one step at a time...

Mindset is so powerful. Take a moment a read over these questions to see what resonates most with you. This year has already been triple packed, so I loved the first questions right away, "What actually deserves my energy right now?".

Some others that were powerful to me were, "What am I postponing until life feels simpler?", "What am I doing out of habit, not alignment?" and "When I am 80, what'll have mattered most?"

We are all a work in progress and that is good.... :)
