Show Notes

“Opportunities are abundant. Time is scarce. Being intentional matters.” Jill Nowacki

Welcome to episode 37 of The CUInsight Experience podcast. Hosted by Randy Smith, co-founder of CUInsight.com. In this episode, Randy is talking to Jill Nowacki, President and CEO of Humanidei, a human capital strategy firm launched this summer to help organizations become workplaces of choice for today’s workforce.

Jill and Randy discuss her new company, how to find talented people, and some of the challenges that come with traditional recruiting efforts. Jill believes credit unions can be the employers and volunteer causes of choice, and talks about how to achieve this through creating organizations where individuals bring their whole selves to work, helping teams thrive from a diverse set of unique talents. There is also some fun conversation about remote work and the many joys and trials that come with it.

The goal of Humanidei is to serve as the single greatest asset for human development, attraction and retention inside the credit union system. While Humanidei works with organizations to develop comprehensive human capital strategies, the name emphasizes the importance of one particular tool: The -dei at the end of the word represents the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion in organizational development and how attending to this will help organizations benefit from the wide diversity of talent available in today's workforce.

This episode is full of light hearted banter, discussion on the importance of human capital, and knowledge about the hiring situation in the credit union industry. It is also about how the job market is changing and what businesses can do to better prepare to win the war for talent. Listen in to learn more about Jill’s ideas for leveraging human capital for your organization’s success.
