This week, EconoFact Chats features an abridged version of an Ask Me Anything Webinar held on July 17th, 2025, with Michael Strain, Director of Economic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute. The discussion focused on how populist diagnoses of social and economic issues often assume an unhelpful zero sum mindset, leading to poor policy proposals, and on how 'forcing events' can expand the bounds of what is a politically feasible solution. Michael's latest book is 'The American Dream Is Not Dead: (But Populism Could Kill It).' EconoFact's monthly Ask Me Anything Webinars are exclusively available to our Premium Subscribers. The modest $50 annual fee for becoming a Premium Subscriber supports EconoFact and its efforts to bring timely, accessible, unbiased, and nonpartisan analyses on important economic and social policy issues to the public.

In this episode of the No Brainer podcast, Geoff Livingston and Greg Verdino chat with Dave and Helen Edwards, co-founders of the Artificiality Institute, to explore the profound impact of AI on human experience and organizational culture. They discuss the philosophical and cultural shifts brought about by AI, the biases influencing narratives around productivity, and the importance of trust and AI literacy in navigating this new landscape. The conversation emphasizes the need for leaders to understand not just the complexities of AI integration into their organization, but the broader human experience it shapes. The Artificiality Institute is a nonprofit that researches, documents, and promotes a deeper, more human-centered understanding of the human experience in an age of increasing synthetic intelligence, or AI. Through its work, Artificiality aims to foster meaningful human-AI collaboration and design systems that support, rather than supplant, human identity and well-being.

Workplace hazards like noise, chemicals, and poor air quality often go unnoticed until employees develop serious symptoms. These invisible risks can lead to permanent health conditions and costly work comp claims. Industrial hygiene specialist Rhonda Kaufman explains how to identify hidden workplace hazards, address them cost-effectively, and protect your most valuable asset – your employees – before they suffer permanent health issues.

When most people think about workplace safety, they imagine hard hats, ergonomic chairs, or maybe active shooter drills. What rarely comes up—but absolutely should—is how people feel at work. And that's where psychosocial hazards come in.These aren't just buzzwords or boxes to check. Psychosocial hazards are the silent threats that show up in how power is distributed, how people are treated, and what's tolerated in the day-to-day culture of an organization. And yet, too often, they go unacknowledged—until someone breaks down, quits, or worse.Dr. I David Daniels joined me on DEI After 5 to dig into this topic, and what he shared should have every workplace paying attention.What Are Psychosocial Hazards, Really?Psychosocial hazards are the workplace conditions that can mess with your mental and emotional well-being. Things like:* Bullying or harassment (yep, still happening in 2025)* Excessive workload and unrealistic expectations* Micromanagement and lack of control over your own work* Isolation, exclusion, or lack of social support* Microaggressions (subtle, but cumulative and harmful)* Discrimination—overt or covertThese aren't just "bad vibes." These are real risk factors that impact how people think, engage, and show up at work. And if we're being honest, they're often written off as personal problems or interpersonal drama instead of being seen as organizational liabilities.Microaggressions: The “Small” Thing That Adds Up FastLet's talk about microaggressions—those quick jabs people might not even realize they're throwing. A joke about someone's name. A comment about someone's tone. A backhanded compliment about someone's hair or clothes. These small moments are heavy for the person on the receiving end, especially when they pile up over time.If people are spending energy trying to decode whether they're safe in a meeting or if it's “worth it” to speak up, that's not a thriving culture. That's a hazard.Toxic Workplaces Don't Just Happen. They're Built.A toxic work environment is often the result of unchecked psychosocial hazards. Maybe it's a culture of fear. Maybe it's leadership looking the other way when inappropriate behavior happens. Maybe it's the team dynamic that subtly punishes people for being “too different” or “too direct.”Whatever the case, the result is the same: employees disengage, mental health declines, and performance suffers. Burnout isn't always about doing too much—it's often about being in an environment that takes too much out of you, with too little support in return.So, What Can Organizations Actually Do?Addressing psychosocial hazards takes more than a wellness webinar or a ping pong table in the break room. Here's where to start:* Take a real look at the culture. What's being allowed? What's being ignored?* Train leaders to recognize and respond to harmful behavior. Silence is complicity.* Reinforce policies with action—not just paperwork. If people don't trust the system, it doesn't work.* Create real feedback channels. And act on what you hear.* Prioritize psychological safety. Not just for show—but because it matters.Leadership Sets the ToneThis isn't just an HR issue—it's a leadership responsibility. Leaders shape culture, whether intentionally or not. If they're not actively creating safety, then they might be passively reinforcing harm. Listening, transparency, and accountability are all leadership behaviors that reduce psychosocial hazards. It's time we stop thinking of those things as "soft skills" and start calling them what they are: critical safety tools.If your team is struggling, your retention is dipping, or people are showing signs of burnout—don't just look at the workload. Look at the environment. Psychosocial hazards may be the root cause.If you're ready to dig into what's really going on in your workplace and want support assessing and addressing psychosocial hazards, schedule a call with our team. We'll help you build a culture that's not just productive—but safe, sustainable, and truly inclusive. This is a public episode.

In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Unisearch Expert Opinion Services, we explore the ways that businesses and legal professionals can better manage the myriad psychosocial hazards that arise in the workplace, particularly in an increasingly litigious climate. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Unisearch Expert Opinion Services business development manager Christopher A. Yong and Unisearch expert and work, health, and safety specialist Sarah Jezzini to discuss the impact of psychosocial hazards on all areas of a business and the clients they serve, increased levels of understanding and appreciation for how and why psychosocial hazards exist, and the need for an urgent shift to proactive management of such workplace matters. The trio also discuss the legislative and regulatory considerations at play, the state of affairs for litigious proceedings, high-risk areas for litigation, intersectionality's role in the broader conversation, key questions that business leaders must be asking of themselves, practical frameworks to be implemented or adapted, and not letting the metric become the measure.

The Hidden Hazards of Surgical Prior Auth Prior authorization for surgical procedures continues to be one of the most frustrating and costly hurdles in the revenue cycle. In this episode, Bo Bowman and Stuart Newsome unpack the hidden hazards that routinely derail authorizations—before a procedure is even scheduled. Drawing on firsthand experience and fresh examples from real-world surgical workflows, they explore the most common pitfalls, including failure to prove medical necessity, inaccurate procedural coding, insufficient documentation, and timing missteps. They also touch on the role automation and AI can play in supporting human teams—helping to surface missing requirements, flag coding mismatches, and push authorizations forward before deadlines hit. Whether you're on the clinical side, in operations, or supporting from RCM or technology, this session will give you a clearer path forward and arm you with the awareness needed to avoid denials, delays, and administrative fatigue.

Willie Brown, MBA, MT(ASCP), CRCA, VP of Revenue Cycle at Sentara Health, and Taylor Searfoss, RCM Expert at Infinx's Ni2 Hospital Division, share real-world strategies to fix charge capture blind spots that quietly drain revenue. This conversation reveals how aligning clinical, IT, and rev cycle teams around root causes—not band-aids—can build lasting financial and operational resilience.

Electrical Safety Awareness: Controlling Hidden Hazards Why Electrical Safety Matters Electric power keeps every conveyor, lift truck, and light in your facility moving. Yet the same current that drives production can stop it cold, with injuries, fires, or costly downtime. Electrical safety isn't a luxury; it's a fundamental part of an efficient and resilient operation. Loose wires, wet floors, and portable gear appear ordinary, but they rank among the top electrical hazards in industrial settings. The good news? Most incidents can be traced back to preventable human actions. A strong safety culture targets those actions before trouble starts, protecting people, product, and profit. How Small Actions Prevent Big Shocks Even seasoned teams can drift into risky shortcuts. A quick plug-in, an overloaded strip, or ignoring a breaker that trips “just once” can create a chain reaction. Staying alert to electrical hazards in industrial settings keeps that chain from forming. Stay Shock-Free in the Facility Here are a few tips to assist you with electrical hazards in industrial settings: Treat every wire as live until a qualified person verifies otherwise. Lock out and tag it before reaching for cutters or a tester. One cautious minute beats hours in the clinic. Respect circuit limits. Extension cords and power strips aren't extra breakers. Spread the load, follow the manufacturer's ratings, and replace damaged cords immediately. Keep water far from the current. Floor scrubbers, leaks, and even condensation create paths for electricity. Dry spills quickly, raise cords off wet areas, and install GFCI outlets near wash zones. Always use grounded or double-insulated tools. If a handle shows a nick in the insulation, tag it out for inspection.  A tool that hums or shocks slightly is a loud warning—don't ignore it. Monitor your electrical “tells.” Flickering lights, warm plugs, or breakers that trip more than once signal hidden faults. Report them promptly so maintenance can fix the root cause, not just reset the switch. Building a Resilient Electrical Safety Culture Electrical safety works best when it's woven into daily habits. Encourage coworkers to speak up when they see frayed cords or blocked panels. Recognize quick reporting as much as perfect production numbers. When people understand that their voice matters, near-misses decrease and uptime improves. Every inspection, pre-shift chat, and toolbox talk that highlights electrical hazards reinforces safe behavior. Keep training short, practical, and regular. Review real facility examples so lessons stick longer than the meeting. Safety guidelines back these steps, but consistent action turns words into protection.

Until we meet next time – have a great week, and STAY SAFE! #Safety #SafetyFIRST #SafetyALWAYS #StaySafe #SafetyCulture #ElectricalSafety
