Show 15-06 Summary: This week we look at institutionalized incompetence with two examples.

As hybrid working becomes the new normal, we know you're asking: how do we formalize this? Do we need to review our employment contracts? What about our duty of care for home workers? How do we balance individual needs with organizational efficiency? This episode looks at what needs to change, and what doesn't. We dig into the detail of employment contracts and relationships in the wake of COVID-19,  exploring the benefits of putting more rigor in place to safeguard employee health and wellbeing in this new era. We grapple with some complexities of hybrid work arrangements, including when people work from a variety of locations, near and far.  There are potential challenges popping up around data protection, tax, immigration, and employment rights - all of which we highlight .

In today's episode we'll welcome back our former Family Service Director and current COO, Molly Sepulvado and introduce you to our REACTcore Program Manager Ally Brown, and two of our incredible beneficiaries turned Case Aides, Hameed and Mohammad. Ally is a military spouse, family advocate, and substitute teacher in Arlington, Virginia. During her many years of activism, Ally shaped and developed policy for the Virginia Department of Education as part of the Military Child Education Coalition and was selected for U.S. Senator Tim Kaine's Military Family Roundtable, which informed the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee on various issues affecting military families. Ally has been with REACT DC since the beginning, from day one of Home Setups to serving as our Family Services Specialist to her current position as REACT DC's REACTcore Program Manager. Hameed joined the React DC Team in February 2022, overseeing the Employment Department and managing the employment program to directly support React DC's clients in job acquisition in order to become self-sufficient. From 2002-2021 Hameed worked alongside the US Government in a variety of positions and he has received numerous awards and recognition for outstanding performance supporting US missions in Afghanistan. Hameed earned his master's degree in Management Administration and Leadership from Kardan University Kabul, Afghanistan in 2016. After leaving Afghanistan, Mohammad crossed Iran on foot with his ailing sister on his back, lived as a refugee in Turkey for four years, had his departure delayed due to the COVID pandemic and finally arrived in the US in the fall of 2021. His family was one of the first REACT DC beneficiaries and within months he had become the head of household at the age of 21, working multiple jobs, teaching himself to drive and learning English at a breathtaking pace. After overcoming incredible odds and enduring devastating heartbreak, Mohammad inspires everyone he meets with his positive attitude, quick smile and desire to serve his community and fellow Afghan brothers and sisters as a Case Aide with a local resettlement agency where he quickly promoted through the ranks due to his determination, work ethic and engaging demeanor. Today they are here to talk about the REACTcore program and how it is helping provide essential social services support for unsupported DC metro area newcomers including benefits enrollment, material goods distribution, and community resource and referral. We'll discuss how our Family Services department evolved into REACTcore, Molly and Ally's roles from the early days to now, Hameed and Fasih's experience over the last year to include resettlement and their working relationship with REACT DC, go over the highs and lows of their positions and responsibilities within and without the organization, discuss the ONE thing they wish people knew about resettlement.

Welcome to another episode of Service Before Self Podcast. In today's episode, the focus is on an issue that does not receive the visibility and attention it deserves: the challenges that disabled veterans face in finding meaningful employment.   When thinking about disabled veterans it is common to refer to those who were wounded in combat, but that is only part of the picture, there are 4.7 million veterans and 20% of them have some type of service-connected disability and its level varies across this population. There are many challenges that disabled veterans are facing but most of them are related to difficulties trying to find employment. Additionally, employers and community-based organizations struggle with understanding the resources and policies that are in place to support them in hiring disabled Americans, including disabled veterans.    Today, Sam Whitehurst, your host, talks with Louis Orslene, Supervisory Policy Advisor in the Office of Disability and Employment Policy from the Department of Labor, an agency within DOL that is focused on helping employers and organizations support not only disabled veterans, but disabled Americans writ large. Louis is sharing some of the policies, programs, and practices that are creating opportunities for those that are disabled and how organizations and communities can more effectively integrate those with disabilities, including disabled veterans, into the workforce.   Key Takeaways: [7:19] Louis talks about the Office of Disability Employment Policy. [11:40] Louis talks about the veterans who use the job accommodation network. [12:05] Employers have to be prepared for the inclusion of veterans. [14:10] Louis talks about the challenges veterans face in reaching their full potential in and out of the workplace. [17:30] Louis talks about the employment barriers for people with disabilities and the three major reasons. [21:42] Louis talks about the main mental challenges and impairments caused by COVID-19. [22:34] Louis presents the Mental Health Tool Kit the Office of Disability Employment Policy has implemented. [24:30] Louis explains how many people with disabilities and mental health conditions have been benefited during the pandemic. [25:40] What are some of the ways that ODEP could help local leaders address the challenges that disabled employees might have in the workforce? [30:18] Louis shares tips for people looking to help someone with a disability who is looking for employment or an employer who is looking for that talent. [33:44] Sam talks about the Clear2Connect Coalition   Mentioned in this episode: Dixon Center: Reaching America At Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services, we believe our veterans and military families can succeed where they live. Dixon Center is named after Staff Sergeant Donnie Dixon, who was killed in action on September 29, 2007, in Iraq. Staff Sergeant Dixon was a father, husband, and Soldier who always placed the mission first and the safety of his fellow Soldiers above his own. Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services stands as a testament to his example and leadership. Dixon Center on Facebook Dixon Center on Twitter Dixon Center on Instagram   Tweetables and quotes: “The path of isolation among veterans usually begins with poor employment opportunities.”   “Veterans tend not to relate very well to the word disability since there is a stigma that relates it to a weakness.”   “Many people with disabilities and mental health conditions have really benefited during the pandemic.”

New York has passed new sexual harassment policy and training requirements affecting all employers, from Mom-and-Pop stores to Wal-Mart. With other states beginning to follow suit, this podcast examines the new laws with New York City employment attorney Michael Schmidt, vice chair of the Labor and Employment Department at Cozen O'Connor. "Even if you've got just one employee in New York, you've got to comply with the training requirement," said Schmidt.

Companies have until October 9, 2019, to comply with the mandatory training but should have a sexual harassment prevention program in writing immediately.
