#67 - Why Your L&D Strategy Matters More Than Ever - Presented by Keka

About This Episode

This week on The HR Morning Show, Danielle and Serge kick off another fast-moving Tuesday with headlines shaping HR across the globe — from market shakeups to the latest workplace policies catching everyone’s attention. Powered by our marquee sponsor Keka, the team digs into why employee-centric design is changing the future of HR systems and how companies are shifting away from fragmented tools toward unified, people-first platforms. Danielle welcomes Dawn Snyder, a leader in learning strategy and performance improvement whose work spans global teams, higher education partnerships, and deep research into what “good” performance actually looks like. She brings a clear blueprint for how L&D can drive real organizational outcomes — especially as hybrid work, cross-cultural collaboration, and skill gaps reshape expectations. Then Serge takes the mic for a conversation with Mike Fitzsimmons of ApplicantX, tackling the rapid rise of hiring fraud. With fraud rates climbing 4x in just five years, Mike breaks down real-world examples, the blind spots in traditional hiring tools, and why recruiters need full-lifecycle fraud defense that follows a candidate from application through onboarding. Serge rounds things out with The Weather Report so smash that follow button and keep the conversation growing across the Purple Acorn network. Learn more about your ad choices.
