  • Season 1: Episode 3- Starting the difficult conversation conversation

    In Episode 2 we discussed quiet quitting and how we feel that it might be too simple of an answer to potentially poor working conditions. It also feels wrong to make a blanket statement that the actions of employees or the creation of boundaries as the employee's fault that we need to label as a social movement. 


    We discussed creating opportunities for employees and employers to communicate, creating expectations, and then reviewing the rules and regulations around those expectations. However, we didn't dive into the HOW of having those difficult conversations, so that is the goal of this episode. 

    We get a little personal, sharing stories and experiences with our difficult conversations; looking at one of the most critical difficult conversations that can take place between employers and employees is around feedback, especially if it concerns course correction or performance improvement. 

    We will be diving into feedback in future episodes and hope that if you have any ideas or questions about this topic you connect with us [email protected]

  • Season 1: Episode 2- Is “quiet quitting” a myth?

    Is it wrong to do the job you were hired to do?

    If you are asked to do more, is it wrong to ask for additional compensation?
    How do you, as an employer, retain good employees?

    Coles notes we recommend that you not just show empathy but listen and collect the critical information needed to learn what your employees need to feel engaged at work. Could it be more flexible work hours? An iPad? Also, employers must prioritize creating an environment where workers feel safe speaking up and sharing when they have concerns. Quiet quitting could mean employees don’t feel safe speaking up, so they will stay silent until they find another workplace.

  • Season 1: Episode 1- We love employee relations and pink microphones

    In our inaugural podcast, we share a little about everything and anything that has to do with Emily Shandruk Solutions, Employee Relations, and our pink microphones.

    What do employee relations even mean? It refers to a company's efforts to build, strengthen, and maintain positive relationships between employees and employers. This can often be confused with HR or human resources, which focuses on managing and developing employees, recruiting candidates to join the organization, managing payroll, and enforcing various company policies. By acting as a liaison between employees and management, those in Employee relation roles can focus on improving the employee experience by listening to feedback and providing emotional and professional support to employees. 

    We invite you to learn a little more about Emily Shandruk, and Chelsey Lokstet and why we decided to record ourselves. You can learn more via our website at www.emilyshandruksolutions.com
