 “How much do you make?” 

It’s the one question that sends chills up corporate spines and the one question every employee is secretly dying to ask one another. But what if it didn’t have to be that way? What if pay was… *gasp* actually transparent?

Meet the viral TikTok sensation daring to bring pay transparency to the forefront of the social media conversation, Hannah Williams.

Sick of corporate America making employees feel powerless in the pay cycle, Hannah’s viral TikTok series, “Salary Transparent Street” set out to tear down the pay transparency wall by encouraging strangers to disclose all the dirty deets of exactly how much they make. 

She chats with Hebba about how her personal experience of being underpaid sparked a social media revolution and inspired her to fight back against discriminatory employment practices and pay gaps disproportionately affecting women, POC, disabled communities, and LQBTQIA+ groups. 

Together, Hannah and Hebba break down strategies for setting pay bands in a fair and earnest way, discuss why employers are so scared of people talking about pay, and reveal how budget-strapped employers can think outside of the box when it comes to negotiations.

Puberty. Periods. Motherhood. Menopause.  

Let's be real—women go through a lot of challenging life stages. So why then, do employee benefits often feel like a one-size-fits-all? How can HR find a way to help women throughout all stages of their life, in a way where they feel fully supported?

Hebba sits down with Isha Vij, Vice President of Sales at Maven Clinic, a digital health organization focused on women’s and family health, to chat about the challenges and solutions surrounding women’s health benefits in the workplace.

What are the logistical challenges to supporting IVF and fertility treatments? If cost is a major impediment to fertility support, how then, can employers still show support for employees in their family-building journey? Isha and Hebba discuss how current access to reproductive care is often insufficient and explain the massive impact reproductive and family benefits can have on workers’ happiness.   

And later, Isha explains how Maven Clinic supports women beyond family planning and into menopause. Why is menopause often so poorly understood? With symptoms like insomnia, brain fog, hot flashes, and pain, what can employers do to ensure women receive proper support through this oft-misunderstood life event? She explains why the status quo simply isn’t enough and how Maven is seeking to revolutionize things.

Treat others the way you want to be treated.

It’s a lesson as old as time—so why are we still fighting so hard to make it a priority in the workplace? 

Hebba and the CPO of Greenhouse, Donald Knight, discuss the importance of authenticity, transparency, and continual evolution in the workplace. How can HR practitioners prioritize employee well-being in a meaningful way that connects to crucial business outcomes? 

Discover the crucial role of HR in caring for employees, and why empathy, vulnerability, and authenticity are the key ingredients to empowering talent and creating a healthy work environment. We’re sick of inheriting damaged talent, so isn’t it time that workplaces start taking care of their own? 

And later, Hebba and Donald also discuss the positive impact of Gen Z, and their hopes for a massive shift in workplace dynamics in the future.

“The Proposal.” “Two Weeks Notice.” “The Office.” “500 Days of Summer.” What do these things have in common?

They all taught us to believe in the power of the good old-fashioned office romance. 

So what happens when the workplace rom-com turns into an IRL horror movie? Just ask HR expert Kim Rohrer, as she and Hebba unleash some absolutely WILD horror stories submitted by viewers about the office love story gone horribly, horribly wrong.

Because sometimes, Jim and Pam don’t get together and everyone doesn’t live happily ever after.

These are those stories.

If you thought your Valentine’s Day was bad, hold on tight, because this episode is here to assure you, it could always be worse.

Should DEI live within HR? And what’s the importance of prioritizing diversity in the workplace? 

Hebba chats with Tara Turk-Haynes, founder of Equity Activations, about transforming businesses through the power of diversity, equity, and inclusion. 

They chat about what can be performative during Black History Month, ruminating on why companies are so quick to utilize it for marketing purposes, but so slow to understand the true purpose behind the month itself. Are some companies simply better off avoiding Black History Month altogether? 

Their answers may surprise you. 

And later, Tara and Hebba dive into the complexities of the black experience in the workplace, discussing the importance of connecting DEI strategies to the purpose of an organization. How can HR and DEI departments increase empathy, allyship, and accessible resources for all communities in the workplace? And how can we acknowledge the black experience in an impactful manner?

80% of workers report they’re disengaged when it comes to work.

So what’s the driving force behind employees’ increasing discontentment, disengagement, and rejection of the status quo? 

Hebba chats with the Fractional Chief People Officer who’s led more than 100 worldwide companies to scale, Anessa Fike about the importance of transparency, feedback, and revolutionizing work to create a better experience for employees.

And later, Anessa and Hebba explore the illusion of professionalism. Does the idea of professionalism only exist to maintain the status quo of those in charge? And how are millennials and Gen Z impacting change when it comes to questioning the construct of professionalism?
