Workplace Lab Podcast

This is our final episode before Spring Break! Join us again 7th April.

I am again joined by HR friend, Tim Dahlby for some Q&A, but first we try something new and check out twitter's viral hit on office #clapbacks.

We answer your questions on whether or not your job title really matters and how important is your job description. We tackle a question from someone contemplating the repercussions from a demotion before agreeing to take one, and finally we discuss someone who feels as if their current manager might be limiting their future opportunities by giving negative feedback as a reference.

In our 40th episode (woohoo!) I interview, Rocky Romanella, a speaker and author with over 40 years in industry with an interesting origin story.

We discuss a variety of topics, including what being a "balanced leader" means, how intrapreneurship differs from its more famous cousin, entrepreneurship. Rocky takes an "audience question about getting your foot in the door and whether working your way up is worth it, and we also talk about legacy. Whether you are early in your career, or have a lot to give back- legacy is important!

Welcome back- in this episode I am joined by HR expert and recurring co-host Tim Dahlby! We answer 3 more questions from you.

First, a question from someone who has a really great problem: two job offers! We navigate the ups and downs to such a situation. Next, we discuss someone who has a 6 month transition through company downsizing. We give some tips on what you should be thinking about on the HR and personal life change front alike. Finally, we talk someone through how to get back into the job market after taking a break to care for their children.

Happy New Year Workplace Lab Family! It's great to be back! We are joined by my good friend and HR expert, Jen Burton. We tackle two meaty questions from two women having some serious battles in the workplace. The first comes from someone who feels like a recent promotion and vague job description have set her up for failure. Our next question comes from a woman who doesn't get along with her female boss and has just found out her boss lied to others about her intentions to return to work after pregnancy.

Very juicy questions! Tune in to hear advice from Jen and myself!

Today I am joined again by Tim Dahlby, fellow HR expert, and we answer 3 more of your questions. All of them have a figurative "water cooler conversation" tone to them, so it was fun. Our first question comes from a recently promoted employee who now supervises their coworkers who are a fair bit older than them. We also explore a question about a gag order around talking to other employees about recent job changes. Finally, we answer a question from a weary employee who is not sure how to react to the sudden presence of HR in an adjacent cubicle. We have a lot of fun, as per usual. Listen in and don't forget to send us your questions to [email protected]!

In today's episode I am joined by coach and author Kyle Davies- founder of energy flow coaching which is a holistic approach to mind and body health to improve performance. Kyle and I discuss the linkages between health and performance, mental health, fatigue management, resilience, and even the opioid crisis ravaging the western world.

If you have ever tried to"fix" your feelings or apply the adage of "mind over matter" this episode is especially for you, as Kyle points out some flaws of ignoring our bodies' signals to us.

We are back with episode 2 of our fall season. Can you feel the autumnal air yet? I am graciously joined by Tim Dahlby- another HR trusted business partner with more than 20 years of experience at large and small firms. This week we are covering 3 questions from you; first we tackle a question on double hatting without a formal promotion, second we discuss someone who is a domestic violence survivor and has just landed their dream job, but has some questions, and finally we discuss a question from someone who might have had a little too much fun at an office party and it was caught on camera.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Tim mentions that anyone in a troubled home situation fraught with abuse should seek help and advice. For listeners in the US, you can reach the National Domestic Violence Hotline at  1−800−799−7233 or TTY 1−800−787−3224. Their website is https://www.thehotline.org/
