We ended the month of March by talking to Suzanne Lucas, the malevolent figure behind the Evil HR Lady brand as well as her evil minions Marie and Sara.  (Full disclosure: Michael is also a minion)

We talked about...

Who are Suzanne, Marie and Sara and what do they do when not being evil minions?Where did the Evil HR Lady brand come from?What is the Evil HR Lady community/group on Facebook all about, and why do we devote time to helping it run smoothly?Why do our guests serve as moderators (and what are their favorote and least favorite things about it!)

And, of course, we shared some of our most evil (and slightly horrifying) HR stories!

Join Michael as they chat with Florence Sterlin about being a black woman leader and how her team successfully navigated the challenges of the pandemic by working together and using technology in partnership with Deltek to bridge the communication gaps and lead in new ways.

Women of color account for only 4% of C-suite leaders and are promoted to manager at far lower rates than men – so it’s no wonder that  Florence  faced challenges taking over her family’s engineering business. 

Florence faced many hardships in 2016, but the communication gap the COVID-19 pandemic created soon became one of the most important hardships to navigate. Florence knew that the key to driving her family’s company forward was collaboration. Digital tools mended the communication gap between DB Sterlin’s employees and leadership, creating and sustaining a company culture of continuous feedback, connection and mentorship.
