In this episode I will explain how to grow past grudges instead of letting grudges grow into bitterness.  I will help you identify what leads to grudges and show you how to walk in forgiveness.  

As you release and forgive, you will experience peace.  As my mom said to us, "People offend you and don't think about what they did".  Yes, I was left offended many times and had to learn to forgive and get over it so I could move forward with a bright future that was not held back by my past.  

In today's episode, we will discuss if your employer has the legal right to test you for COVID-19 when you return to work.  It is the employer's responsibility to ensure the workplace is safe when you return. 

Also, you will hear about an employer who attempted to bring employees back to the workplace and more than 1/2 of them tested positive for COVID-19. 

If your employer does not test for COVID-19, you should RUN quickly.  

In today's episode, we will take an assessment called "How Dramatic Are You?  We will take a closer look at drama in the workplace and help you to identify drama triggers and help you re-channel your emotions. 

We will take a peek into my book "Drama-Free Workplace" and see how workplace situations can easily cause drama.  

We will show you things that cause drama and things that you can do to avoid drama so you can improve your workplace experiences.  

In today's hot topic, I will talk about a woman who worked in a nursing home facility, requested a paid leave of absence and died later, after being denied the leave of absence. 

Hot topics will come from articles I find in the local or national news, yahoo news. CNN, Reuters, or other news outlets.  

In this hot topic, I will share with you your leave rights under Family Medical Leave Act and Families First Coronavirus Response Act. 

In this episode, I will introduce you to my new podcast so you know who I am, what you can expect to hear, why you should listen to me and more. I will equip you to deal with workplace challenges and show you how to survive.  I will help you reflect on your complaints and determine what you may need to change.  Here are some tips to help you as you return:   1) focus on what you are able to control; 2) set boundaries and 3) determine if this is the place for you long-term.  

Have you noticed that since you have not been working, in spite of COVID-19, you don't have the same stress headaches and migraines you had at work.  How has your peace of mind been?  If you have been working from home during COVID-19 or did not work at all, I understand that you do not want to return to the workplace.  I know individuals who would rather take unemployment (which would be significantly less than what they currently earn) than return to work.  Wow! 

Keep in mind that employers must prepare the workplace for your return and should accommodate you if you need to continue caring for your children who are out of school until the Fall.  You may not be comfortable returning and want to feel safe.  Returning to the workplace will not be easy however hopefully this time away has given you time to think long and hard about the changes you need to make.  

Know your rights and don't settle. 

This is a trailer for my new podcast "HR2theRescue" where I will introduce you to my weekly episode.
