Points Well Taken: How Customer Engagement Adds Up

Episode Notes ** For Phenom customers, two programs sit right on the login screen and are easy to overlook. Phenom Community is an always-on hub for learning, connecting, and getting answers. Phenom Phans is the loyalty program that rewards customers for engagement they're already doing. Together, they're meant to make being a Phenom customer more valuable, not more work. In this episode of Talent Experience Live, we walk through how the two programs work together, what meaningful participation looks like, and how customers have used both to build networks, advance their careers, and get more out of the platform. **

Idle AI: An HRIT Reality Check

Episode Notes ** Most HRIT teams are running platforms capable of far more than what's currently switched on. Getting a specific read on that difference is harder than it should be, and it's not something vendors tend to volunteer. On this episode of Talent Experience Live, we get into what the gap costs, why the fix is rarely the one teams expect, and the step most organizations skip before they start adding agents. You'll leave with a clearer way to measure what you already own before you buy anything else. **

Tracking Growth Where Work Happens: The Future of Skills-Based Performance

Episode Notes On this episode of Talent Experience Live, we dig into a question a lot of HR leaders are sitting with right now: not just who's performing, but what people can actually do and how fast they can grow. We're joined by Ankur Gupta of PossibleWorks to talk about what it takes to make skills visible without adding another system for employees to log into, and why traditional performance reviews weren't built to answer questions this fast-moving. The conversation lands on a bigger bet: skills, not job titles or headcount, may become the primary unit of enterprise strategy going forward.

AI Agents for Employees: From One-Time Profile to Living Career Story

Episode Notes On this episode of Talent Experience Live, we explore two new Phenom AI agents for the employee experience: Career Coach and Profile Builder. Most people build their profile once at onboarding, then let it go stale because they think in experiences, not structured skills. These agents close that gap. Employees describe their work in plain language, and the AI extracts the right skills and proficiencies for talent management. We show what this means for career pathing and skills strategy, plus a live look at both agents in action.

Data-Rich, Insight-Poor: Why Talent Organizations Can't Answer What Matters

Episode Notes On this episode of Talent Experience Live, we look at why talent organizations have more data than ever and still can't answer basic business questions in real time. TA leaders walk into executive meetings unprepared, People Analytics teams field endless one-off report requests, and hiring problems that are actually data visibility problems keep getting misdiagnosed. We get into why fragmented data leads to fragmented decision-making, why generic BI tools haven't solved it, and how Phenom X+ Talent Advisor changes that picture, turning scattered data into decisions teams can act on instead of reports they have to chase down. We also look at what shifts for a talent organization once reactive reporting gives way to proactive intelligence.

Which World Cup Team Should HR Root For?

Episode Notes ** The US is out of the World Cup, but eight teams are still alive, and each one plays like a specific HR function. France builds talent pipelines at a scale nobody else can match. Morocco converts every chance it gets. Spain won't shoot until every requirement is confirmed. Norway is banking its whole season on one transformational hire. Call it talent strategy with a scoreboard. On this episode of Talent Experience Live, we go through all eight quarterfinalists, matching each team's style to the Phenom X+ Agent that plays the same role in the hiring process. Find the team that plays like your function, and you've found your rooting interest for the rest of the tournament. **
