Working WITH Short Employee Tenure with Jamie Bruno

Talent Management Truths

“We’d love to hire someone and have them stay 6-8 years, but when it’s not the reality anymore, then shifting that paradigm and mental model [is important.]
-Jamie Bruno

The job market is constantly in flux. Sometimes it’s an employer’s market, sometimes a candidate’s market, sometimes it’s balanced. One trend that is here to stay is the overall decrease in employee tenure. The 25-year gold watch is no longer a norm, it is an exception. Today’s guest shares his view that we need to work with the reality of shorter tenures, vs. be frustrated by them.

My guest is Jamie Bruno. Jamie joined Ontario Tech University in 2017 and is currently Vice President, People and Transformation. Jamie is responsible for the full suite of labour relations and human resources functions, including transformative initiatives such as future-of-work modelling, improved digitization and access to information to enhance employee engagement, and optimizing features of the employee life cycle.

Jamie has spent nearly 20 years in both human resources and labour relations across the broader public sector, serving as Chief Human Resources Officer at North York General Hospital, where he launched the hospital’s first People Strategy, and leading strategic HR business operations at both Treasury Board Secretariat and the Ministry of Government Services in the Ontario Public Service.

Jamie completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto, and earned both his MBA and MIR (Master of Industrial Relations) degrees from Queen’s University.

In this episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:

• A window into the management side of a large and growing university
• An example of a flexible work program that can help organizations go beyond existing geographic boundaries
• Insight into how to reframe the fact that employees don’t necessarily stay in the same company for a long time
