| 12 Sep 2023 | Dan Heath on creating moments that matter | 00:41:13 | |
"When people look back on their experiences, they don't store those experiences like videos and just replay them end to end. Most of what we experience dissolves, and what we're left with are just certain scenes, snippets, or moments, and those are the peak moments." Dan Heath is a senior fellow at Duke University’s CASE center, the founder of ThinkWell, and a 4-time NY Times bestselling author. In this episode, he discusses the research behind creating peak moments, including in the employee experience.

| 26 May 2022 | Josh Levs on Caregiving, Workplace Flexibility & Rebuilding Parental Leave | 00:20:47 | |
In our last three workplace surveys, we have found that everyone at work feels stress. But one group of employees that is consistently stressed more than their counterparts is parents. This is especially true of millennial parents and parents who started a new job during COVID. What do companies need to do? Author and parental leave advocate, Josh Levs, joins the show to discuss how we got here, what parents really need for a less stressful working experience, and how rebuilding parental leave policies and culture is good for business.

| 30 Jun 2022 | Malcolm Gladwell on the changing workplace, a new labor market & a case for fewer meetings | 00:22:46 | |
With so much change in the workplace, it is worth taking a step back and looking at the larger trends shaping our working experience. Like the fact that many people are looking for jobs at organizations that didn't exist a few years ago. And they might not even live in the same time zone. And that's not really too much of a problem anymore. Best-selling author, podcast host, and Workhuman® Live keynote speaker Malcolm Gladwell joins Stacy Thompson and the How We Work podcast to discuss the macro factors shaping work now and in the future. He also discusses what he has learned as the leader of a team and how to find what works best with every employee.

| 20 Apr 2022 | Dr. Dan Tomasulo on Learning Hope, Being Kind & the Power of an Empty Chair | 00:35:05 | |
On this episode of How We Work, we are talking about hope. One, because winter has given way to spring and there is a natural sense of rejuvenation. And two, April is National Stress Awareness month. It feels like as good a time as any to talk about an issue our research has made us very aware of over the last few years and that is that many employees (and perhaps listeners to this podcast) are stressed and burned out. Our guest this week is Dan Tomasulo. He is a counseling psychologist, psychodramatist, author, professor at Columbia University, and next month he will be a featured speaker at Workhuman® Live in Atlanta. On this episode, he will be teaching us how to hope so that we can bring it into the workplace and the rest of our lives. LINKS: Register for Workhuman Live May 16-19 in Atlanta FOLLOW US: | |||
| 11 Aug 2022 | KeyAnna Schmiedl on culture work, word choice, and diving into the deep end of data | 00:34:59 | |
To change anything at scale, you need to collect data. You need to know the depth of an issue or trend to efficiently and effectively respond to it. When those issues and trends pertain to the people at your workplace, data can't just be numbers. Qualitative data, their stories, the words they say, need as many slides in the deck. KeyAnna Schmiedl, Global Head of Culture & Inclusion at Wayfair, developed the DEI Maturity Matrix to blend the analytical and anecdotal. The dashboard gives her and every other employee at Wayfair a glimpse into how the organization is continually shaping and improving the employee experience and has led to new innovations in how they make their workplace more inclusive and equitable.

| 09 Nov 2022 | Kham Ward on vulnerability, building community, and BLK Men in Tech | 00:26:36 | |
It’s November 2020. Much of the world is still quarantining. It’s the heat of the election count in the US. And for the last few months, demonstrations in support of Black lives have hit streets worldwide after the killings of Black men and women throughout the spring and summer. Fear, sadness, anger, stress, frustration, all those emotions felt by the Black community needed to go somewhere. They needed to be expressed and channeled into something actionable, something lasting. Kham Ward is the founder of BLK Men in Tech, an organization born out of the need to create a space for young Black men to be their authentic selves. A place where they can gain access to resources and community that can show them paths to career advancement in the tech world. On this episode of How We Work, Kham talks about founding the organization, sustainable inclusivity, and the superpowers of a values-driven neighborhood.

| 07 Jun 2022 | How We Work Presents: The Gallup Podcast ft. Dr. Isha Vicaria | 00:21:27 | |
Last month Workhuman® and Gallup released a new research report titled, “Unleashing the Human Element at Work: Transforming Workplaces Through Recognition.” It’s chock full of interesting insights – like the fact that only 1 in 4 employees strongly agrees they feel connected to their company culture. Among other things, the research shows recognition is the antidote to that feeling of disconnect that’s fueling the Great Resignation. Dr. Isha Vicaria, people data analyst at Workhuman, joined the Gallup Podcast to chat with Gallup’s Editor-in-Chief, Mohamed Younis, about what the findings mean for organizations looking to build people-first cultures. They discussed the five pillars of recognition and how feeling recognized at work not only makes you more productive, but also adds to your quality of life.

| 17 Aug 2023 | Kevin Campbell on making people analytics more action-oriented | 00:32:00 | |
There is no shortage of data in the world of work. But often, it can feel as if analytics and metrics are measured and sent to the ether rather than used as the basis for continual change. As work has evolved, one question has followed: How do we use data to keep pace and even get ahead of changes to improve the employee experience? Kevin Campbell is the Employee Experience Scientist at Qualtrics and Founder of Lifted Leadership LLC. In this episode, we dive DEEP into the power of data and what it can tell us about how to improve the world of work if we choose to act on it.

| 11 Jan 2022 | Chris French Looks Ahead to the 2022 Workplace | 00:30:04 | |
Welcome to How We Work from Workhuman, a podcast about the trends, issues, relationships, and phenomena that shape our workplaces. It’s January 2022 and with the turning of the calendar, we are reflecting on 2021 and projecting into the new year in an attempt to anticipate what opportunities and challenges lay ahead. This week's guest is Chris French, Executive Vice President of Customer Strategy at Workhuman. That job entails quite a bit, including helping current and future customers build more human workplaces. To do that, he needs to understand the state of the workforce and where it may be headed. And that’s exactly what he’s here to do today. LINKS: Monica Jackson talks micro-coaching at Eaton. FOLLOW US: | |||
| 18 Dec 2020 | Less allyship, more action: Torin Ellis | 00:30:49 | |
Steve Pemberton is joined by Torin Ellis, an expert in DE&I, author of "Rip the Resume," host of SiriusXM's Career Mix, and the co-host of Crazy and the King. Complacency in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Steve starts by noting that when it comes to diversity, equity, and inclusion, many senior leaders say that they “can’t find the talent” – an all too common refrain. Torin agrees that it’s a thing many people say – but not something that’s backed up by reality. He says that the excuse of “we can’t find the talent” isn’t based on reality, and in fact, making that statement is highly disrespectful. If a company can agree to refrain from that kind of disrespect, they have plenty of ways to make changes and see a much more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workforce. Steve adds that it’s really only in DE&I where leaders just accept that things are the way they are and can’t be improved, and Torin shares how he reframes the conversation for the leaders and teams he works with. The Importance of Accessibility One in four people either have or at some point will have a disability, and Torin talks about how much better things could be for both disabled individuals and the professional world if companies made efforts to create opportunities and accessible work options. Steve adds that the need to navigate the world differently leads directly to innovation, and failing to create accessible environments is, at best, a failure of imagination. Steve asks what organizations can do to be more inclusive of people with disabilities, and Torin talks about having different relationships with organizations that serve people with disabilities, having internal and external alignment with your inclusivity goals, and learning what is required to make people feel comfortable – especially in terms of undeclared disabilities. A Time of Great Reckoning Steve and Torin talk about how right now, across industries, it is the time to speak up and have conversations about career progression, red flags, needs, and resources. There have been far too many instances of injustice, and it is past the point where companies and leaders can pretend that they aren’t happening. Torin hopes that we see the tenor of the conversation about DE&I continue as fervently as it has over the last year, and Steve notes that that is really a prescription for how to approach the coming years. If your organization believes in diversity, equity, and inclusion, then a statement from leadership is needed. And that statement needs to be backed up by actions. Torin suggests that firms put money into Black banks so that bank can invest in the community. It’s time for less allyship and more action.

| 19 Nov 2020 | How Ericsson is creating belonging in a changing world: MajBritt Arfert | 00:18:22 | |
Ericsson has undergone many changes throughout the years, many of which MajBritt has been able to witness and participate in firsthand. They talk about what changes have been caused by Covid – and what may have happened anyway. At Ericsson, people are asking questions about how to build culture and trust, how to create belonging and have purpose, and how technology will foster new ways of working. MajBritt believes we need to provide the space for innovation, creativity and collaboration – but where people are able to focus and reflect, and be able to delivery product and services to the best of their abilities. This isn’t possible if organizations try to drive change and culture from the top down Derek adds that looking at how people have organized themselves within workplaces – there’s a network effect in how people work together, but many HR processes don’t reflect that. Covid has sped up the many of the long-term plans Ericsson has – one example is the importance of wellness – but also learning, using the digital tools available to help teams and individuals develop. Connection is an important issue both at WorkHuman and Ericsson, and MajBritt shares what the company is doing to foster it in this new environment – and shares a particularly meaningful example of how the community responded to the recent explosion in Beirut. Derek and MajBritt go on to talk about the predictions of just how long it is going to take to achieve gender balance and economic gender balance to be achieved globally. Ericsson is making strong moves towards making this a reality as soon as possible – diversity and inclusion is a company wide priority from the culture to the specific policies and practices created to promote it. MajBritt says that being intentional about your diversity agenda as an organization is one of the most important things you can do. | |||
| 13 Sep 2021 | The Great Resignation: Dr. Meisha-Ann Martin | 00:26:17 | |
As companies start returning to a version of pre-pandemic business, they're being met with a palpable shift in power. Their employees, after 18+ months of uncertainty, stress & isolation, are more certain than ever of what they will & won’t tolerate at work. According to the latest Workhuman iQ survey, 4 in 10 of those employees say that if their companies can’t or won’t create a more human workplace, they’re happy to look for an opportunity elsewhere. Welcome to the great resignation. Dr. Meisha-Ann Martin, Director of People Analytics at Workhuman, joins Mike Lovett to discuss the causes of this talent transfer & what companies can do to connect with their employees & ensure their workforce doesn’t experience an upheaval of their own.

| 02 Feb 2024 | Siobhan Murray on the cascading effects of burnout in the workplace | 00:31:21 | |
One of the biggest trends in work and culture over the last five years is burnout. Workhuman® has conducted numerous surveys in that time frame that all suggest or directly point to significant levels of burnout in various industries and occupations and demographics in which it runs rampant. But burnout's effects are not just felt at work, they're felt in the entirety of an employee's life and are a massive detractor to their well-being. Siobhan Murray is a resilience coach, best-selling author of The Burnout Solution, an international speaker, and psychotherapist. In this episode, Siobhan talks about her own experiences with burnout and how they led her to the career she has. She also talks about how burnout and specifically, the cascading effects on families and friends, is wildly overlooked.

| 15 Mar 2022 | Two Years into COVID: The State of the Human Workplace | 00:32:46 | |
Two years ago, hybrid work was widely uncommon, a sparse benefit. Now, in many industries, it’s the predominant way of working. Two years ago, stress and burnout were well-kept secrets within office walls. Now, reducing that stress is (or at least should be) a primary objective for just about every HR team out there. The workplace is almost unrecognizable compared to early 2020. But two years into COVID, trends and challenges are crystallizing to present a clear picture of the state of the workplace now and where it is headed. It is a workplace with one foot in the future of work and the other held in place by the complexities of the Great Resignation and the continued need to reduce stress and increase equity in the workplace. On this episode of How We Work, Dr. Meisha-ann Martin, senior director of people analytics and research at Workhuman®, and Dr. Isha Vicaria, a social psychologist and researcher on the Workhuman® iQ team, break down our most recent survey report Two Years into COVID: The State of the Human Workplace.

| 10 Dec 2020 | D&I is not a competition: Cindy Owyoung | 00:17:40 | |
Cindy Owyoung, vice president of inclusion, culture & change at Charles Schwab, joins Steve Pemberton as this week’s guest on Keeping Workhuman. Inclusion and Activism “The idea that DE and I is a business imperative as opposed to compliance-regulated need has driven a lot of progress in this space,” Cindy says. “Inclusion [as a driver for innovation] has taken a stronghold in many companies who have since realized that it is a strategic part of how to do business.” In addition, employee activism and expectations have increased exponentially over time. Employees have become more insistent and vocal about companies practicing their values, demonstrated by their social media expressions and advocacy within internal employee resource groups. Making the Pie Bigger Steve comments on the backlash that the idea of diversifying the playing field has received in American society specifically. “I think the backlash is in part due to a lack of understanding about what DE and I actually is, and is in part due to a sense of fear that people may be losing something if other people get access to the opportunities they have,” Cindy muses. Everyone’s perception of their own experiences can result in an us versus them mentality, which is part of the fallacy of the backlash. “[DE and I] isn’t about pitting one group against another, it’s about making the pie bigger so you can create more opportunities for more people.” A Deep Commitment Cindy talks about Charles Schwab’s deep commitment to DE and I. When the company was founded, their main goal was bringing Wall Street to Main Street and making investing and good financial outcomes accessible to everyone. It is still a core part of who they are and what they do, she points out. The Way Forward Post-COVID, Cindy remarks, leaders must use empathy in designing their processes, policies and practices so that they can create ways to support all their employees. She believes that COVID will persist beyond 2021. As such, the global workplace will allow more flexibility for employees and how they work, and companies will find innovative ways to build more community within their organizations. | |||

| 08 Sep 2022 | Doyin Richards on taking care of your mental health, embracing discomfort, and the anti-racism fight club | 00:29:56 | |
Workplace trainings have a bad habit of ringing hollow at times. They can feel forced. They tend to provide a mere short-term surge in action. And ultimately, they can feel inadequate. When that training centers around making your workplace more just, more equitable, and anti-racist, you want that training to create a long-lasting effect. Doyin Richards is an author, speaker, and the founder of the Anti-Racism Fight Club™, a no-nonsense, high-energy, interactive workshop that aims to end racism in workplaces and communities throughout the globe. In this episode, he discusses the philosophies behind his organization, how anti-racism can sustainably become a part of the workplace, and how both self-care and discomfort are necessary ingredients in this movement.

| 07 Jan 2021 | Finding ways to connect: Andy Biga | 00:20:30 | |
Andy Biga, Chief People Officer at GoHealth Urgent Care, joins Steve Pemberton as this week’s guest on Keeping Workhuman. The value of difference Andy started his career studying diversity issues and bias, and how they impact decision-making and identity. He believes any two people can connect despite how different they may be. People need to surround themselves with others who are dissimilar to them in order to grow and see the world through different lenses, he says. Work’s role “Work can be a powerful tool… [for people] to achieve their best selves,” Andy claims. Even though your reach may be small, you can touch the world in the place you work. Steve comments on the fragile state of the global workforce because of the ongoing global crisis. Current events are making many people ponder where they can find meaning and how they can impact the world. “In April, one of the most searched-for terms on Google was ‘how can I help,’ and it was the most times that question had ever been asked in the history of the search engine,” Andy shares. “That shows that people want to help, even when the world is changing.” What has COVID done? Society is now looking at essential service workers in a new light and with much more respect. Those on the front lines have been putting themselves at risk every day for the benefit and safety of the general public, and every day is a test of their bravery. GoHealth Urgent Care has done millions of COVID-19 tests across the country, even in airports, and has extended their hours of communication to accommodate as many people as they can. Andy talks about the services GoHealth Urgent Care provides, and how they work. Moving forward Andy believes that in 2021, HR leaders will need to continue to find new ways to connect with people, answer their questions, and make their experiences at work easy. The fundamental problems and unmet needs within the workplace can be solved through good employee experiences, he says. | |||

| 26 Jun 2024 | Preparing for Jobs That Don't Exist Yet With Dr. Michelle Weise | 00:33:19 | |
Collaboration, communication, and problem-solving are a few skills you often see pop up in job descriptions, but for years, they have been relegated to "soft skills." They're helpful, but not essential especially compared to experience in a certain role. However, that's changing. As technology is advancing, new jobs are being created every year. And because no one has experience in a job that has yet to exist, one's ability to learn, adapt, and work with others becomes vital to doing that job well. Dr. Michelle Weise is the author of the award-winning "Long Life Learning: Preparing for Jobs That Don't Even Exist Yet." In this episode, she discusses how our careers are poised to change, the human skills that will help employees thrive, and the importance of continuous learning in a continually evolving workplace. *Apologies for the sound quality dip around the 28-minute mark.

| 17 Feb 2022 | Kim Scott on Radical Candor, Just Work & Traveling to the Care Personally Dimension | 00:32:57 | |
It's February 2022 and many of you probably completed your annual reviews in the last few weeks. It's a time to get valuable feedback, look back on accomplishments, and set goals for the year. And as helpful as those reviews can be, they should not be the only time that kind of conversation happens at your company. In fact, research shows that to prevent turnover and improve employee engagement, those conversations should be happening a lot. At least monthly, but even weekly or biweekly. Our guest on this episode of How We Work is a proponent of having conversations and delivering feedback with humanity whenever you can. Her name is Kim Scott, and she is the author of The New York Times bestseller “Radical Candor,” and “Just Work” – two books that make the case for consistent, honest communications at work, and what needs to happen to make sure they're experienced by everyone in the office.

| 11 Jan 2024 | Steven Rogelberg on What Makes 1:1 Meetings Effective | 00:32:31 | |
The manager-direct report relationship is one of the most critical in every workplace. It can make or break the employee experience. What helps make it successful is a consistent check-in cadence for employees to raise concerns or seek support. But beyond frequency, there isn't a lot of training for managers and there's even less research as to what makes them work. Steven Rogelberg is the author of the new book Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings, a rare exploration of the recipe for an effective check-in between a manager and direct report. In this episode of How We Work, he explains the responsibilities of managers and direct reports, and ultimately what an effective check-in should look and sound like.
