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.

Listen in and don’t forget to send us your questions to contact@workplacelab.org!

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.

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/
