As most states lift their mask mandates, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that the agency has adopted new metrics for determining whether to recommend face coverings – a shift that will result in most Americans no longer being advised to wear masks in indoor public settings. By moving away from looking solely at the number of COVID-19 cases in a given area but instead taking into account local hospitalizations and hospital capacity, the updated metrics will create room for businesses and employers to revisit their own approaches to masking policies. What should you know about these changes before making a decision for your organization? Thank you for listening to this podcast.

While remote work offers many benefits for both employees and employers alike, the lack of visibility can create an environment where discrimination and harassment go unnoticed and uncorrected. In addition, the blurring of boundaries between work and home may prompt some employees to engage in behavior they would avoid in an office, and the conditions of remote work may have a disparate negative impact on certain protected groups.  It is critical for any employer with a remote or hybrid workforce to take steps to prevent these risks from materializing and promptly correct any incidents of discrimination or harassment that do occur.  In this episode HR expert, Jenni Stone, share steps an employer with a remote or hybrid workforce should take to prevent and correct workplace discrimination and harassment.

Psychological safety is a term referring to a belief that one can voice their concerns, ask questions, speak up or make mistakes without the risk of punishment or humiliation. It is an important inclusion issue that employers cannot afford to ignore.  Projects with greater psychological safety have been shown to have a greater likelihood of success and innovation because employees are more comfortable speaking up and sharing their thoughts. Conversely, a lack of psychological safety in the workplace leads to disengagement, staff turnover, recruiting costs and other adverse effects.  In this week's podcast HR expert Jenni Stone shares steps an employer can take to create a culture that provides psychological safety.

Burnout is real, and it has real impacts on employee productivity and mental health within and outside of the workplace. When employees are suffering from burnout, anxiety, depression or other mental health issues, their ability to do their work diminishes. Experts point out that the root causes of burnout are created at the organizational level. As such, it requires an organizational solution, rather than placing the burden on the shoulders of the individuals who are suffering burnout. In this week’s episode, we share five steps that can help prevent burnout in an organization. Thank you for listening to our podcast.

The focus on diversity, equity and inclusion issues has markedly increased in the last year. Since the violent deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others shed new light on racism - including in the workplace - many corporate leaders have been compelled to speak up. This has led employers to reevaluate their diversity, equity and inclusion strategies and view them as a must-have rather than a nice-to-have initiative. In this week’s episode, IHR expert Jenni Stone will share five critical issues to watch this year to ensure an organization is taking meaningful steps forward when it comes to DEI.

And this has expanded to include the need for virtual recruitment tools when travel is no longer an option, and social distancing is the new norm. Organizations who are committed to hiring the best talent and building a diverse workforce, should be considering candidate experience and how to make the recruitment process more accessible to all variations of candidates – including those with disabilities.

The risks and liabilities associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have led a number of employers to consider how to approach the 2020 holiday season. In many cases, updating policies or work rules, or requiring additional information before allowing an employee to return to work, may be advisable.  However, compliance requirements, governmental advisories and employee relations concerns should be taken into consideration before an employer takes a strong stance against an employee traveling, attending gatherings or hosting personal events. An employer should consider its business goals, risk tolerance and existing policies and procedures when navigating the 2020 holidays.   Thank you for listening to our podcast.

Talent acquisition teams are racing to find ways to make what has historically been a very high-touch human process a virtual one. They are figuring out how to effectively work from home, conduct video interviews, make successful offers (to candidates whom the hiring manager may not have met), and remotely onboard new hires. And even though we’re eight months into COVID, not every candidate is comfortable being on video and therefore won't' present themselves as well as they would in-person. You can pick up on nonverbal cues via Zoom or any other platform, but they are harder to see. The result – good candidates can come off the wrong way and miss opportunities. So let’s talk about ways to make the most of the technology while minimizing its limitations, here are 8 best practices for conducting video interviews. Thank you for listening to this episode.
