HPT Video 2020 – Jeff Gill

I first met Jeff on November 1, 1982. I share how and where in the opening of the video.

Jeff has been in the HR world for over 40 years. He brings a Performance Orientation to HR.

Jeff is a strategic human capital advisor with demonstrated success leading global teams to design learning and talent development practices to drive organizational success at companies ranging from startup to fortune 100.

His passion is to help companies create sustainable competitive advantage by applying neuroscience (rather than HR gut-feel) to the design of HR processes to

Attract better talent
Where employees become productive sooner
They contribute more
Want to stay longer
Can be themselves without having to wear the corporate mask
And work safely

He has worked at plant, division and corporate levels serving in roles as Labor Relations Supervisor, HR generalist, L&D specialist, TQM trainer, Division HR Director and Production Manager, across many different industries working in startups, mature companies and major turnarounds.

He has served as VP of Learning and Talent Development prior to a COVID furlough.

His specialties include building a fully capable, engaged and safe workforce to
– Attract better candidates
– That become productive sooner
– Contribute more throughout their career, and
– Stay longer

The HPT Video

This video is 36:35 minutes in length.

The HPT Video Series … formerly known as the HPT Practitioner and HPT Legacy Video Series … was started by Guy W. Wallace in 2008 as a means of sharing the diversity of HPT Practitioners, and the diversity of HPT Practices in the workplace and in academia.

The full set of videos – over 125 – may be found and linked to – here.

HPT – Human Performance Technology – is the application of science – the “technology” part – for Performance Improvement.

As the late Don Tosti noted, “All performance is a human endeavor.”

Whether your label for HPT is that, or Performance Improvement, or Human Performance Improvement, it is all about Evidence Based Practices for Performance Improvement at the Individual level, the Team level, the Process level, the Department level, the Functional level, the Enterprise level, and at the level of Society/World.

HPT Practitioners might operate at any of these levels, as this Video Series clearly demonstrates.

Although ISPI – the International Society for Performance Improvement is the professional home of many HPT Practitioners – the concepts, models, methods, tools and techniques are not limited to any one professional affinity group or professional label.

ISPI just happens to be where I learned about HPT – and has been my professional home since 1979.

This Series Has Evolved Since 2008

These videos were first posted on Google Video, then they were moved to Blink, and now they may all be found on YouTube. And my name for them has changed as well…

HPT Practitioner Video Podcasts and HPT Legacy Video Podcasts

– Practitioner Series – short 2-10 minutes, following a script. Intended to show the diversity of HPT and HPT Practitioners. (2008-2018)

– Legacy Series – longer 15-40+ minutes, also scripted, with added stories of other NSPI/ ISPI’ers from the earlier days of the Society or others who were of great influence. Intended to capture the stories of the people who influenced us. (2008-2018)

– HPT Video Series (2019+) – is a continuation of the first two types of videos in this series, but with less focus on capturing NSPI/ISPI members – and expanding out to any and all who use Evidence Based Practices in Performance Improvement regardless of any affiliation with ISPI or not.
