Sherry Coker is the owner of Coker Consulting LLC, assisting businesses with education and training solutions. She spent 17 years in workforce development at Ozarks Technical Community College, leaving in 2023 to pursue a long-held dream to run her own business. The path to finding the courage to bet on herself was long and bumpy. Sherry says she's struggled with an eating disorder and self-worth. But she's learned to turn down the track inside her head that says she isn't good enough, and that's led to new opportunities and ways to impact others. In this conversation, Sherry talks about her new consulting venture, as well as the death of her first husband and finding love again.

In this episode, we're joined by Bobbi Pickard, CEO of Trans in the City, to discuss how employers can improve their approach to trans and non-binary inclusion in the workplace.We explore questions like:Is the term LGBTQIA+ a help or a hindrance?What does trans and non-binary actually mean?Are gender-critical beliefs protected by law?Is the law fit for purpose, and how might it change in the future?What does best practice look like?We discuss the importance of vocalising a clear position on trans and non-binary inclusion and educating staff. We also discuss the benefits of creating a safe and welcoming environment, from recruiting the best talent to allowing people to do their best work.As Bobbi says, it takes years to change a company's culture, but today's graduates are already exploring their identities and have high expectations about equality, diversity and inclusion.Further reading:Grainger plc & Ors v NicholsonMaya Forstater v CGD Europe & Ors Ms R Taylor v Jaguar Land Rover LtdUnited Nations Global Compact***Send us your questions and we'll answer them in a future episode – email emplawpodcast@tltsolicitors.com or tweet us using #TLTemploymentpodcast or @TLT_EmploymentYou can find out more about our employment team at tltsolicitors.com/employmentSign up to receive our updates at tltsolicitors.com/signupIf you've enjoyed listening, please rate us and write a review.

Most students who receive special education qualify for a "transitions" program that allows them to stay in school until age 21. These programs are meant to provide job training and life skills, preparing our kids to become as independent as possible. But are these programs really providing the type of training that is truly beneficial for our kids? Join the podcast as I have a conversation with Meriah Nichols from "Unpackin Disability With Meriah Nichols." Show notes: Before talking about employment training, we go back to the beginning and discuss the role that ableism plays in the limited options made available for our kids. Also important how as parents, sometimes we also have to address our own ableism (spoiler alert: it is one of the hardest things I've had to do as a parent of two disabled kids). A short discussion on grief, and the fact that most parents experience grief when their child is first diagnosed. Keeping in check the language we use, and what happens to our kids when we push them to be as "non-disabled" as possible. Finding empowerment in disability. What does that look like? How does that translate into future interests and possible job opportunities? How important it is to discover the gifts and possibilities that are a direct result of disability -- the assets. Inclusion: the current model of inclusion doesn't help our kids or their peers as we think about their future possibilities once they reach adulthood. How cana. school play to a student's strengths and build upon those strengths as possible career paths? Many programs and organizations that are meant to help our students tend to be steeped in ableism, and they do not provide ongoing change beyond one time events or experiences. There isn't much available after transition programs because of the limited "training" they provide. Meriah shares about her recent blog post: Navigating Beyond The Four F’s of Disability Employment How do we shift culture so that we create better "out of the box" opportunities for our children? Our kids depend on their community -- that is, the community of individuals who are like them. The community where they belong, where they can be who they really are.

One thing I have heard a lot lately is “what is happening with my unemployment?” Today we are joined by the interim director of D.E.T.R. to ask about the holdup, the system's shortcomings and how she is fixing the problem.

In today's episode, I sit with members from A Special Blend a non-profit business and coffee shop located in Greensboro, NC. DeeDee Ungetheim (President of the Board) and Terri Ramsey (Board Member + Volunteer Coordinator) join us as they share about the inception of the idea, to raising over $300,000 in their local community, to where they are today in training employees with disabilities for employment. A Special Blend's mission is to employ adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in a setting that interacts with the community. They aim to improve the quality of their lives and to broaden the public's perception of people with disabilities. In this episode, we get into A Special Blend's core messaging of being a Community in a Cup and how they intentionally reflect this on a day-to-day basis from starting as a coffee shop (with dang good coffee!), to empowering both individuals with and without disabilities to get involved, and so much more. As of this recording, A Special Blend is turning 1 year old; so if you live nearby in Greensboro you should stop by their events this month, say hi, and celebrate them, their employees, and community.

Chronic stress impacts employee wellbeing, productivity and company performance. With the World Health Organisation now classifying burnout as a workplace disease, employers need to understand their legal and moral duties to prevent, identify and manage this issue. In this episode crammed with top tips and examples we look at: What causes burnout, from workplace factors like always-on technology and a culture of out-of-hours working to external events like Brexit anxiety How some companies are managing the risks, from mental health first aiders and regular wellbeing days to 32-hour working weeks and not delivering emails out of hours The lengths employers can be expected to go to ensure that someone can remain in employment – but does extreme burnout always require an extreme remedy? In our news round-up we cover: A discrimination case involving an employee's social media post (read our latest article on social media issues); New legislation and guidance on the use of NDAs or "gagging clauses" (read Siobhan's comments in People Management); and Bereavement leave for pets – could this become law and how to deal with it.

From air con wars and dress codes to live streaming sports and unexplained absences, summer can present a unique raft of challenges for HR and legal teams. What starts off as an office moan can quickly escalate, with the most serious cases resulting in a discrimination claim. In this episode of TLT's employment law podcast, we look at three of the "hottest" issues you might face this summer and throughout the rest of the year, including: Air conditioning and dress codes – do office temperatures discriminate against women? Can you force employees to wear a dress code in all weathers? Sickness and absence – how do you raise suspicious absences? How do you manage competing holiday requests? Do religious holidays take precedence? And can you or should you stop employees from working on holiday? Distractions at work – tennis, cricket, cycling, football transfers, Love Island… is it effective to ban distractions outright? We share some cautionary tales and some best practice advice. We also look at the latest news headlines including tribunal system delays and the legality of positive discrimination to improve ethnic diversity, and answer your questions.

If an employee feels they have been the victim of discrimination or harassment at work because of a philosophical belief, they could claim for compensation. But what is a philosophical belief? Is fox hunting, life after death, veganism, Brexit or Scottish Independence protected under the Equality Act or is this just an opinion? And what happens when one person's belief conflicts with another's, like Christianity and homosexuality? There is no hierarchy of beliefs so how should employers deal with this? What impact has social media had on these cases, with it being so easy now for people to express their views on a particular topic? Philosophical beliefs can be a tricky area for HR teams to advise on, but it's a growing issue and important to get right from a reputational and financial perspective. TLT's employment team offers their views and shares some advice on how to deal with these cases, including the need to remain objective, listen and to have clear policies on how the company handles discrimination and bullying. We also comment on three recent news stories including: Brexit and how the EU Settlement Scheme is performing CCOO v Deutsche Bank (ECJ), which suggests that the UK law on time recording might be in conflict with provisions of the European Working Time Directive The government-led consultation on maternity rights and enhanced rights on an individual's return to work, including our thoughts on the proposals Finally, we answer some of your questions.

The Me Too campaign has led to an increase in awareness of sexual harassment at work with companies needing to respond appropriately. In this episode, we look at: how companies are responding; how evidence is assessed at trial including emotional impact and banter; the impact of social media on claims and investigations; and vicarious liability for employers and the importance of training. We look at forward-thinking initiatives from the US like the legal obligation to provide training and the use of 'love contracts' or 'relationship contracts', and whether these are likely to be used in the UK. NDAs or 'gagging clauses' as they're often known are often misunderstood due to the way they're reported in the media – we look at what an NDA is and whether they're likely to be further regulated in the future. We also cover the latest news, including what we can learn from the UK's gender pay gap reporting data (including for millennials) and how this regulation might evolve, including the likelihood of sanctions.
