I share some tips on creating your “zen” space at home with your new found co-workers (e.g. kids, partners, extended family) and also some tips on boosting collaboration from a distance with your teams.

We are back with our first Q&A episode of the season, and I had to bring back my friend and guest co-host Tim Dahlby for the fun. In this episode we explore 3 questions- 1) does HR have a rule of thumb for how many people they will interview for a job? 2) Should a co-opt intern succumb to the stereotypes of being a part of the most “sensitive” generation by raising an HR complaint? and 3) Do HR people have a secret, covert blacklist of employees that they share?

Needless to say, we get a little cheeky. Have a listen and don’t forget to subscribe, rate and review!
