Welcome to the Imagine Belonging at Work Podcast brought to you by Rhodes Perry Consulting. The episode you're about to hear is a special gift to help ease what psychologists and researchers have identified as a specific kind of anxiety; election anxiety.   To ease election anxiety, the show's host, Rhodes Perry, developed a 10-minute mindfulness practice designed to help you self-regulate, ground, and soothe political anxieties that are running high this season given the uncertainty about what's on the 2025 horizon.   You're invited to try this practice to help you build capacity to increase your well-being and ignite creativity and connection at work. It's designed to deliver the medicine you need to heal some of these harsh realities many are experiencing this season:   73% of U.S. adults say they are anxious about the election according to the results of the 2024 American Psychiatric Association's annual mental health poll. 65% of employees surveyed over the summer by the Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM) said they have experienced or witnessed incivility on the job in the past month.   34% of employees surveyed by SHRM believe that the November 5th elections will trigger additional incivility in the workplace.   You and I know all too well that election anxiety is very real and undermines our commitment to building a sense of belonging at work, where everyone feels seen, connected, supported, and proud. And we know we need to build spaces of belonging at work because it is no longer a moral imperative; rather it is a prerequisite for business success.   During this episode, you'll be able to recognize where to locate your own sense of belonging. Specifically, you'll recognize:   Belonging Lives in the Body. Feelings of belonging live in our nervous system, and somatics practices can help cultivate a sense of belonging. Safety & Trust are Foundational. Feeling safety and trust are the foundation for belonging, and during this practice you will explore where they are present in your life. Belonging is a Practice: Actively engaging in practices like this one will help rewire you brain to notice where belonging does and does not exist in your everyday life.   This interview was designed to support people like you - visionary leaders, and those on their way to joining us.

With the prevailing mentality that workers should “leave life at the door”, it's no wonder that the struggle to balance the demands of family and career has only gotten more difficult. This is especially true for employees who care for others such as children, elderly parents, and family members at home who are sick or have disabilities. According to the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM), Caregivers are the fastest-growing workplace identity group, making up 73% of the workforce. Employer support of this population will be crucial to remain competitive in attracting, engaging and retaining top talent.  In this final episode of season 2 of "HR Fresh Take", we'll talk with TC Riley, Senior Director of Data & Analytics at Cariloop; a digital platform that helps families manage their loved one's care needs by connecting them to an employer-sponsored caregiver support platform.  Also joining the conversation is Philly SHRM Chapter President Catherine Priem who's passion for employer support of caregivers in the workforce is the catalyst for this topic. Your host for this episode is podcast producer, Theresa Velykis. More about TCTC Riley   has held various data leadership roles throughout his career and worked in the financial compliance and marketing industries before joining Cariloop. The burden of caregiving costs employers both in productivity and talent. Cariloop delivers caregiver support benefits designed to support caregivers, equipping HR leaders to nurture a more effective and loyal workforce. At Cariloop, TC and his team handle all applicable internal and external (client) reporting but specialize in Value Engineering and identifying the true financial impact of providing an employee population caregiving support benefits.  Business, Engagement, Human Resources, Management, Thought Leadership, Return to work, Inclusion, Hybrid work, phillyshrm.org

August 24, 2023, A Question of Ethics Conversation Episode Today's Question of Ethics Conversation looks at workplace culture and technology. It focuses on the ethical challenges to workplace culture and technology as it pertains to Canon 1.1 of the NACM Model Code of Conduct which states that a court professional faithfully carries out all appropriately assigned duties, striving at all times to perform the work:           Diligently - characterized by steady, earnest, and energetic effort.         Efficiently - capable of producing desired results with little or no waste (as of time or materials)          Equitably - dealing fairly and equally with all concerned          Thoroughly -  in a complete or thorough manner          Courteously - marked by respect for and consideration of others          Honestly – without cheating, genuine, without frills          Openly -exposed to general view or knowledge          Within the Scope of the court professional's authority.   According to the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM), an organization's culture defines the proper way to behave within the organization. This culture consists of shared beliefs and values established by leaders and then communicated and reinforced through various methods, ultimately shaping employee perceptions, behaviors and understanding. Organizational culture sets the context for everything an enterprise does. Because industries and situations vary significantly, there is not a one-size-fits-all culture template that meets the needs of all organizations.   Workplace culture has a profound effect on any organization as these statistics bear out. 53% of working Americans who have left a job due to workplace culture report leaving because of their relationship with their manager. 94% of people managers agree a positive workplace culture creates a resilient team of employees. 97% of executives agree their actions have a direct impact on workplace culture.   Technology is a tool, but it can have a dramatic effect on workplace culture. "Technology can be used to enhance information and operations, improve public access to court information and services, and reduce administrative costs while increasing efficiency in case processing.” This Question of Ethics Conversation looks at how technology plays a role in workplace culture for court users, for one's co-workers, and on a court's institutional knowledge.   Today's Moderator Creadell Webb: Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer; First Judicial District, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania   Today's Panelists Courtney Whiteside: Director, Municipal Court, St. Louis, Missouri Karl Thoennes: Court Administrator, 2nd Judicial Circuit, Sioux Falls, South Dakota Peter Kiefer: Retired Court Professional Samantha Wallis: Deputy Trial Court Administrator, Supreme Court, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho Ceclia Garner: Court of Court, General District Court, Richmond, Virginia

Host Karl catches up with Yvette Steele. Yvette Steele is a global diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) leader building inclusive and equitable workplaces one employee at a time. Her belief that “inclusion is everybody's job that anybody can do” was the catalyst of the book “Impactful Inclusion Toolkit: 52 Activities to Help You Learn and Practice Inclusion Everyday in the Workplace.”  Since entering the workforce in the late 1980's, she was frequently the only African American woman on the team or one of a few where bias, sexism, racism and prejudice were served daily making it impossible to consistently perform at peak levels. Decades later, these issues persist with the same intensity where many continue to be disempowered in their efforts to maximize potential.  In this time of increased awareness of unfair systems and practices plaguing people of color, individuals with disabilities, the LGBTQ+ community and others, her book provides the roadmap to acquire the skills needed to create cultures of equity, inclusion and belonging. Yvette has been recognized as a diversity thought leader on the inaugural Channel Futures DE&I 101 List for advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion through words, actions, and leadership and has served on the DEI Advisory Committee for YMCA-USA, Tech Advisory Board Steering Committee for the National Urban League, and the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Task Force for Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce.  You'll find her calling out the issues and providing solutions on diversity and workforce focused podcasts, blogs, news articles and panel discussions to include the Wall Street Journal, the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) and the ChannelPro Network.  Resources and Links:  https://www.amazon.com/Impactful-Inclusion-Toolkit-Activities-Workplace/dp/1119930200/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvetteportersteele/ Sponsor Memo: SBT Tech Community his podcast is sponsored by the Small Biz Thoughts Technology Community.  Check us out at SmallBizThoughts.org Forms, templates, and checklists are just the start. Our Community includes ALL of the best-selling books on managed services in all available formats, plus free training, members-only programs, and the best business training available to managed service providers anywhere.

It's no surprise then to learn that the growing assessment market is now estimated to represent $500 million in annual sales with strong–as much as 10% per year–growth in recent years.  In short, it's big business. There is no lack of options either. Estimates suggest that there are more than 2,500 psychometric tests of various sorts on the market. Some are very clearly rooted in science, with strong reliability and validity, while others are little more than clickbait on the Internet. With so many options available, how does the HR professional or frontline leader choose? Which assessments are most valuable, and which ones should be overlooked because they provide little value?  You're going to want to hit play for this! In today's episode, we take on the challenge of sifting through the data to present you with valuable insight into which assessments work best for what situations. We begin by laying the foundation with some basics about personality, psychometrics, reliability, and validity. Most importantly, we'll keep it practical for leaders in the trenches–the folks who are looking for tools to help them lead better, build better teams, and generally get more done.  Listen in as I talk with returning guest Ray Linder! Ray is a master facilitator, consultant, and coach who has worked with a wide variety of organizations in both the public and private spaces–and I consider him an elite expert on at least two of the assessments we'll talk about today. There's more to Ray than that though, he brings a broad base of knowledge due to his background, work, and experience. He is based in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, and he's always on the road leading training for someone.  Join us as we discuss the best ways to cut through all the noise and get to the tools and resources you need to take your team to the next level.

Identify some of the common misunderstandings about psychometric assessments The ABCDE Model of Personality (originally put forward by William Revelle, Professor of Psychology at Northwestern University):    Affect (what we feel)    Behavior (what we do)    Cognition (what we think)    Desire (what we want)     Environment (where we are) Hear what reliability and validity mean when it comes to assessments and why they matter Understand the Barnum Effect And Much More!

Hybrid offices. Work-from-home. Unlimited vacation. Parental and sick leave. Diversity, equity, and inclusion. The scrutiny of company culture has intensified during the pandemic as millions ask: Is there a better way to work? Johnny C. Taylor set out to write a book about this in March 2020 when we all expected a 2-3 week "pause" in normalcy. Two years of pandemic later, the thesis of his book transformed. RESET: A Leader's Guide to Work in an Age of Upheaval is Johnny's analysis of a radical post-COVID re-think. But he's not just an observer. Johnny is a lawyer, longtime HR pro, and currently the CEO of the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM), an organization that educates and advises HR professionals. And while HR was previously viewed as the team to nag about payroll and benefits, Johnny says they've become the "emotional first responders" in a time of unprecedented uncertainty. Johnny explains what workers want and expect from companies in 2022, the power of the perfect CHRO + CEO partnership, and why Diversity & Inclusion efforts require more than passionate good intentions. He also shares how firing one employee long ago changed his life forever.

As a follow-up to Episode 34 on the federal vaccine mandate, Unum employment law and compliance expert Ellen McCann joins guest host Nate Smith with updates for employers on OSHA's most recent guidance, outlining what employers need to know, what clarifications occurred with OSHA's guidance and important timelines to consider.* -        Employers with 100 or more employees will need to choose which route to take. Under OSHA's Emergency Temporary Standard, employers can choose between requiring 1) All employees to be vaccinated 2) Employees to choose between weekly testing or full vaccination.  [3:15] -        The mandate plan has several components that relate to different type of employees. For example, employees who work exclusively from home will not be subject to this mandate. In this case, they will need to be tested before coming into the workplace. [4:58] -        These new requirements are set to go into effect in the near future. OSHA has published a chart on their website that shows compliance dates and requirements. [7:05] -        No matter which route employers take, precise record-keeping will be critical. Supportive solutions will help employers manage the complex requirements, from proof of vaccination status to testing results to vaccination exemptions. [8:41]-        The right technology solution can help employers.  Systems like Unum Vaccine Verifier make it easy for employers to maintain an accurate, up-to-date vaccination and test result roster in one place. [15:43]-        How do recent court rulings impact employers? The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has issued an injunction, halting the mandate for the time-being. Be on the lookout for more information as the case proceeds. [19:24]-        Additional resources: How the federal vaccine mandate may affect employers.  *Currently subject to a temporary stay by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.  Featured Speaker  Ellen McCannAssistant Vice President of Unum Solutions Ellen McCann has expertise in leave management, specifically the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

To create a positive workplace culture, top leadership must model civility and the expected behaviors. In this episode,  I talk about Governor Andrew Cuomo's behavior toward his staff, as it has come to light. How did he, and how do others get away with abusive behavior for a long time? Enablers are required.Also discussed, workplace surveys from a variety of sources:•EVERFI/HR.com Research Institute survey which says 40 percent of employees agree their organization is toxic, and 55  percent agree their leaders aren't good at preventing problems before they start.•84 percent of employees that think they have a positive workplace culture, have leadership that live out the company's values, that is, leadership walks the talk.•Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) and the Ethics and Compliance Initiative (ECI) found in their report, The High Cost of a Toxic Workplace Culture, from a 2019 survey that 60 percent of workplace misconduct came from managers; and in the previous 5 years 1 in 5 employees left their job due to a toxic workplace culture. (For more information, visit the SHRM blog https://www.talkworkculture.com/)Takeaways:•Abusive workplace behavior is costly to employee health, to business success and profitability.•The topmost leadership needs to model the behaviors that promote healthy workplace behaviors.•Create a code of conduct that's required of everyone. In the workplace people bring their experiences and backgrounds into a new environment, let people know what's expected of them, and measure them and the organization on these expectations.

Patricia Elias has a unique title at ServiceSource: Chief Legal and People Officer. She joins the show today to talk about how she came to take on the HR role, the unique event that brought her to ServiceSource and a key realization about this very moment in her career.   ABOUT OUR GUEST Patricia Elias started as an SVP, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary for ServiceSource in 2016. Within 2 years, she was asked to assume the global HR role and title of Chief Legal and People Officer for a global company of over 3 000 employees.   Her prior roles include serving as Vice President, Deputy General Counsel at ViaWest, Senior Corporate Counsel at Flextronics and Lecturer for the University of Denver’s Daniels College of Business.   GET IN TOUCH WITH PATRICIA ELIAS ON LINKEDIN THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS Podfly Productions: Podfly.net Veterans of Foreign Wars: VFWpost1.org OC Executive Search: OCExecutiveSearch.com   KEY TAKEAWAYS [2:02] Michael introduces Patricia and asks her to share an interesting fact about herself as well as a little bit on what ServiceSource is, and does — Patricia is an inline skating evangelist! SHOOTING SPORTING CLAYS [4:49] Patricia talks about what brought her to ServiceSource and it all began with shooting sporting clays! CORPORATE SECRETARY [6:38] What does a corporate secretary do? Patricia shares what her first few years were like. She shares the story of how she was approached to take on the role of head of HR. PREPARATION? HARDLY [11:06] Patricia touches on how little preparation she got before taking on the role. It was on the job training, she shares the 2 things that helped her most at the time. Patricia shares why she chose the CPO title instead of CHRO. WHY LAW? WHY IT? [14:33] Patricia shares how she made her way to law, and eventually Counsel, the choice of working in tech and IT probably reflects her strong interest in science. HR/LEGAL [16:53] 80% of her time is spent on HR matters, 10% on legal and the remaining would be a space where she needs to wear both hats. Because of this experience, as well as some personal choices, Patricia will probably never go for a General Counsel role that has no extended responsibilities again. PIVOT [20:05] Patricia and Michael agree that she is currently in the middle of a pivot! Patricia explains that the breadth of the impact she has on the organization could never be equalled by a legal only position.

She shares another pride point. EXPECTATIONS [24:35] Patricia talks about the things she has found to be interesting discoveries about her new role, but she didn’t have expectations per se. She touches on how to handle working in multiple time zones and shares some personal tips on how to manage a team with empathy while working crazy hours. HUMANS VS TECHNOLOGY [26:52] The modern technological paradigm has built a world where work hours have grown to the point of encroaching on personal life, Patricia shares her take on how to maintain healthy work habits. She also touches on the effects of COVID on work environments and her predictions for the future of work. ADVICE [29:32] Patricia offers advice to future CXOs and prepares for C-suite interviews. Know your business, and just don’t be a jerk. She also shares her insight for people who hold dual roles as she does — especially when one of those roles involves legal. BEST WORST JOB PATRICIA EVER HAD [34:14] A temp job answering the constantly ringing corded phone while welcoming and being polite to customers who appeared at the window. It was so stressful it led her to realize she needed a college degree. FINAL THOUGHTS [36:45] An attitude of gratitude, empathy and outward mindset are key to success, and happiness.

HR compliance is more complex than ever, particularly with leave and absence management. In this episode, Daris Freeman and Ellen McCann give an overview of paid leave laws, both pre-pandemic and those being signed into law amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Key takeaways:Prior to the pandemic, many states and jurisdictions had existing employer-mandated paid leave laws. (01:25)States and local jurisdictions have stepped up to provide paid leave for workers due to COVID-related reasons . These fall into two key areas: 1) Protections for employees in organizations with more than 500 employees that are not subject to the federal FFCRA and 2) States, such as California, that have passed broader legislation that applies to all employers and employees. (04:30)States and jurisdictions are passing laws to provide paid leave to those impacted by COVID-19. This is an active space with nearly one new law appearing every week. (05:30)Colorado has passed three laws in one: 1) The federal FFCRA equivalent for 2020 for larger employers and 2) a broader paid leave provision that has two components: a) paid leave for employees or family members who have an illness and school closures, and b) up to two weeks of additional leave if there is public health emergency. (05:55)There is also an unpaid leave dimension to this, as several states have amended existing laws to provide job protected, unpaid leave. Employers need to understand any applicable unpaid leave obligations, as well as paid leave obligations, to be compliant with all employment laws and regulations. (07:55)Best practices: At Unum we have policies that address state-level paid leave laws where employees work. We have supplemented that with a COVID-19 specific policy that incorporates all the different jurisdictions and states that have specific COVID-19 requirements for leave. (09:57) Laws change almost weekly. One of your best resources are state and city webpages, as these are always up to date. Consult with your own legal counsel also to make sure you are capturing all the obligations and remain in compliance with all applicable laws. (11:13)Daris Freeman Assistant Vice President, Legal Counsel, Unum's Employment Law Group As Assistant Vice President, Legal Counsel for Unum, Daris's primary responsibility is to support Unum's Absence Management Center which administers FMLA, paid leave, ADA and over 200 complementary state laws.

Three things that have changed me in recent years: losing my mom (2015); Certified Professional Coach training (2018); Having my (surprise!) baby girl (2019).   Author details: I always wrote short stories, starting with winning an award for a short horror story in the fifth grade, but I didn't start writing seriously until I got the bug to write a novel in 2010. After many drafts, deletions, and tears, my debut novel, Choosing Evil was purchased by a small press publisher, Frost Books in 2014. Frost Books also published its sequel, Breaking Evil. However, by 2017 I was ready to take my rights back, which I did. I published those two books, as well as the rest of my books - Winter Road, Luring Shadows, Twisted and Among Us, under my own publishing company, Indigo Hawk Group.   Author Bio: Kristina Rienzi is a Jersey Shore-based new adult thriller author, certified professional coach, and the former president of Sisters in Crime-Central Jersey.
