What:
Joyce Maroney, executive director of The Workforce Institute at Kronos Incorporated – who retired this week, 13 years after founding the global think tank – invites incoming Executive Director Dr. Chris Mullen on her final episode of The Workforce Institute Radio Podcast to discuss the past, present, and future of The Workforce Institute.
Dr. Mullen brings more than 15 years of experience as a human resources (HR) leader and practitioner, driven by a dedication for compassionate leadership and doing well by doing good – making him a natural fit to lead the global think tank into the future and continue the important research and thought leadership culled from its global advisory board members.
In this episode, Maroney and Dr. Mullen examine what this ‘passing of the torch’ means for The Workforce Institute and the potential for the future, including:
- Maroney’s thoughts on the major achievements of The Workforce Institute, including critical workplace issues and best practices the think tank has helped surface and reshape over the years;
- The special value of the interdisciplinary knowledge of The Workforce Institute’s global advisory board of HCM and workforce management thought leaders;
- Research and critical insights produced by The Workforce Institute that Maroney is most proud of, including the annual Super Bowl Fever absenteeism study and 4-Day Workweek research; and
- Mullen’s vision for the future of The Workforce Institute based on his time on the advisory board, his career expertise, and the current market landscape.
