🎧 HR Insights

In this HonestHR podcast episode, the focus was on how HR can attract and retain top talent by building a culture of civility and inclusivity. The guest, Kenston Henderson, the Chief Empowerment Officer of Live With Lyfe, and Nicole Belyna, the host, discussed what a civil and inclusive culture looks like in action and how HR professionals can assess whether their organizations measure up.

💡 HR Tips & Tricks

Tip of the Day: Set up an “HR open hour” every month where anyone in the company can drop in virtually and ask a question, pitch an idea, or give feedback. It builds trust and often reveals problems before they spread.

Trick of the Day: Add an optional “anonymous teammate kudos” field to exit interviews. People often wait until they’re leaving to be honest—and kind. It’s a low-cost way to capture positive stories and morale boosters you can share internally.

Their goal was to unify HR, payroll, and talent management under one platform. After switching, Moncrief saw faster time-to-hire, better compliance management, and real-time insights across departments. One standout improvement was their ability to manage complex compensation rules without manual overrides. The switch allowed HR to shift from reactive problem-solving to proactive workforce planning..
