Inclusive Design Thinking with Kelly Johnson
Thursday May 05, 2022
Thursday May 05, 2022
In this episode, Paylocity Manager of Interactive Learning & Design Kelly Johnson and host Shari Simpson discuss the continuous process of adapting one's thinking and approach to better meet the needs of the end-user using inclusive design thinking.
At its core, design thinking in HR prioritizes the needs of the employee and develops solutions around that problem. Design thinking creates solutions centered around people rather than process. For example, using this approach, a product or service's user experience is continually improved based on evidence of how humans interact with it. Ultimately, the goal of design thinking is to find multiple human-centric solutions, and it transforms HR professionals’ roles to be about the experience rather than tasks.

Guests:

A couple of months ago, President Biden announced some updates to his Path out of the Pandemic Plan, and that included tasking OSHA with the creation of an Emergency Temporary Standard requiring employers of 100 or more employees to either ensure their workers are fully vaccinated or provide a negative covid test on an at least weekly basis. This is conversationally known as the vax-or-test rule, and when last we spoke we had a lot more questions than answers, but OSHA released the whopping 490-page text of the rule on November 4th and published it to the federal register on November 5th.
Listen is as we cover:
- How the 100 employees are being defined.
- Effective dates and grace periods.
- Reporting requirements.
