Alera Group

What a rewarding time last week in the PNW connecting with Alera Group, Inc. colleagues, meeting with clients, and presenting alongside Danielle Capilla at an employer event. A special thank you to Terry Aguilar, CEBS , Brenda Bassett and the entire Alera NW team for putting together such an incredible event and experience. I always leave energized after hearing from the clients we serve, collaborating with our teams, and sharing the exciting work we are doing with future clients. It was a long week, Chicago to Portland to Anchorage, but absolutely worth every mile.

Ever notice how organizational messages can technically “go out,” but still fail to land? This article offers a thoughtful perspective on why HR communication so often struggles in today’s environment of constant messages and growing desensitization. When communication becomes overly transactional — focused on delivery rather than context—it risks blending into the noise rather than building understanding. Written by Sharon Brumer, Executive Director of Blue Communications, an Alera Group Company, the piece reframes HR communication as a relationship‑building function, not just an information‑sharing one. What stands out is the emphasis on relevance, timing, and clarity over volume or polish. In an environment where employees are inundated with messages, meaning matters more than mechanics. Effective HR communication isn’t measured by how often we send messages, but by whether people feel informed, grounded, and connected to what’s being shared. 🔗 Read the full article: https://ow.ly/gVvO50YYq31 #HRCommunications #EmployeeExperience #PeopleStrategy

Another thoughtful perspective from Alera Group’s HR Consulting & Workforce Solutions team worth sharing. This article reinforces a theme that continues to come up in conversations around talent strategy: attracting passive candidates isn’t about better outreach—it’s about stronger relationships over time. What stood out is the shift away from transactional recruiting toward something more continuous and contextual. Passive talent isn’t disengaged. They’re simply not actively looking. That makes timing, trust, and relevance far more important than volume or persistence. When engagement is treated as an ongoing relationship rather than a moment in the hiring cycle, the dynamic changes. Conversations feel more credible, opportunities feel more aligned, and interest builds more organically. As talent markets evolve, relationship‑building is becoming less of a “nice to have” and more of a foundational capability in how organizations approach hiring. 🔗 Read the full article: https://ow.ly/hC0y50YYq0J #TalentStrategy #HiringTrends #EmployeeExperience #HRPerspective
