Join us as Robin and Mike talk with Pam Culpepper of Have Her Back about Gender Equity in the workplace.

As the two-year anniversary of the #Metoo movement arrives, only 15% of women believe that the movement has had an impact on their workplace, career, and opportunities in general, according to a nationwide survey conducted by Have Her Back Consulting, a women-owned and led culture consultancy. 

The findings suggest that despite culture’s demand to advance equity for women, few companies have actually taken specific actions to change corporate culture. Perhaps most telling, 55% of respondents said the impact of #Metoo has been felt more on society and culture, while only 28% said it has had an equal impact on them, personally.

According to respondents, very few companies have taken actions to counter the issues that #MeToo identified. When asked what initiatives their employers have verbally committed to, 37% of respondents said “sexual harassment training” followed by 31% who said, “nothing.” When asked what actions were actually taken, 37% of respondents said “nothing” and only 28% said sexual harassment prevention training programs were conducted in their workplace.

We'll talk about:

What companies are doing - right and wrong.How men and women see things in the workplace differentlyWhy a sense of urgency to work on gender equity must become a priority The pitfalls of not advancing Gender EquityGive us a brief history of Have Her Back ConsultingWhat are some of the barriers organizations face as they continue to tackle gender equity?What are a couple of things HR professionals can do to move the gender equity agenda along?

As we celebrate Thanksgiving this week in the US we see it all around us: the "tension" between our wants and desires as consumers and our wants and desires as employees.

Scroll through most any message board or FB group where people gather to discuss work and HR topics and you’ll see the question “what can we do to ‘fix’ our culture.”  But it’s not so much a question of “fixing” as it is about understanding.... isn’t it?

 

Join Robin and Mike as they chat with Damon Klotz, Work Culture Evangelist with Culture Amp to discuss what “Culture First” means and the interconnectivity of performance, engagement and retention. (Plus we’ll chat about his new Culture First podcast!)

Today we're doing a bit of a throwback episode to the #DTHR vibe back in the early days (circa 2010 - 2012) when the host, with or without a guest, would pull up the news from within the people/talent/HR realm and dive into the details. 

Join Robin and Mike as we chat about:
