Supporting Hourly Workers w/ Martin Hartshorne, When I Work

The HR Gazette Season 1 Episode 233

Human Resource leaders are in a fight to ensure that hourly workers (60 percent of the workforce) don't feel overwhelmed by the effects of the pandemic.

In this HRchat episode, we consider how HR can better use technology to help workers – especially hourly workers – manage the stresses of this year's pandemic and economic uncertainties. 

The guest this time is Martin Hartshorne, an expert on what HR professionals must know about the future of hourly or shift workers.

Martin is also CEO of Minneapolis-based HR technology company When I Work, which provides flexible scheduling systems used by one million employees at 150,000 workplaces across the US. 

Listen to this HRchat to get Martin's take on the following: 

  • What should HR professionals know about how they can use digital technology to support pandemic precautions?
  • How can digital technology minimize risks of employees getting ill? 
  • How can artificial intelligence (AI) and other HR tech make life better for hourly workers – and make them actually want to come to work?





We do our best to ensure editorial objectivity. The views and ideas shared by our guests and sponsors are entirely independent of The HR Gazette, HRchat Podcast and Iceni Media Inc.
