Tune in this week to hear from Michael Yinger, cofounder of Resume Sieve, a platform created to prevent any biases during the resume process.  Resume Sieve is used to screen candidates and disregard any biases by focusing only on experience and talent.

Michael has been in the talent acquisition field for 20 years. He believes that eliminating biases in the recruitment process can create more diverse and effective workforces. We discuss how even when no one realizes it, bias is often present in many aspects of the labor force, including recruiting. Tune in to hear how Michael thinks we can avoid and conquer bias all together.

To connect with Michael, you can find him on LinkedIn,  Twitter and on Facebook as Michael Yinger.

Joining us this week is work-life balance expert Anna Meller. Anna tells us a bit about herself in this episode, as well as the book she had published called Upcycle Your Job. Anna believes that with employer understanding and employee patience, positions can be fixed and longevity in employment can be achieved.

Anna also talks to us about her other specialty, which is recognizing the stigmas women in the labor force face, and supporting them through it. Even today, women not only battle the wage gap, but they fight being treated and viewed a certain way because they are expected to build a family while the man remains the breadwinner. Tune in to hear Anna's views on the never ending battle.

To connect with Anna, you can find her on LinkedIn.

On this week's episode, we are doing things a bit differently. Tune in to catch this solo episode with our creator, the one and only Dana Dowdell. At one point early on in her career, Dana was faced with a challenge that proved she needed help and wasn't sure where to get it. Thankfully, her employer had the answer.

Throughout her experience in Human Resources, Dana has seen some real success in companies who provide their employees with EAPs. EAPs are Employee Assistance Programs that for a small price, provide your staff with just about any resource they could need. Whether it be mental health, caring for an elderly parent, or otherwise, you can implement an EAP to provide your employees support through any and everything.

To connect with Dana, you can find her on LinkedIn.

To check out one of our favorite EAP providers, visit the Coastline website.

Remember, there is always someone to talk to, but if you get to the point where it all feels to be too much, the National Suicide Prevention Hotline has updated their number. Just dial 988.
