Show Notes

We’ve all had those days at work where we just can’t give 100%. Maybe we were staying up late to watch the end of the big game. Maybe we had trouble finding childcare for the week. Whatever the reason, there are guaranteed times that employees will struggle with stress and other negative factors that impact overall work production. How can we take opportunities to lessen the negatives and boost the positives, as employers, to not only increase work productivity but also create better environments for our employees?

In today’s episode, Chuck and John talk about holistic employment to better understand how we create better energy levels for our teams. From affinity groups to better training, there are so many ways that we can help individuals on our teams, in and out of work.

In the HR News segment, the team touches on the following topics and more:

  • Keeping up with new laws
  • COVID is still here
  • Auto-lunch deductions causing an investigation
  • Pay equity study reveals the ‘broken rung theory’

The viewpoints expressed by the characters in the stories are not necessarily that of The Team at HR Stories. The stories are shared to present various, real-world scenarios and share how they were handled by policy and, at times, law. Chuck and John are not lawyers and always recommend working with an employment lawyer to address concerns.
