Ever wondered how a team spanning from the silent stoicism of traditionalists to the digital fluency of Gen Z navigates the modern workplace's evolving landscape? Our conversation with Dr. Katherine Jeffery, a generational researcher, peels back the layers of this multi-generational mosaic, revealing the challenges and opportunities of leading diverse age groups.

From the surprising laissez-faire leadership preference of Millennials to the steadfast stability sought by Gen Z, this episode is a treasure trove for anyone striving to unite a workforce rich in years and wisdom. As we decode the email etiquette that baffles Boomers and the Zoom comfort of Gen Z, it becomes clear communication is an art form with generational brushstrokes. Our chat navigates the shifts in job retention trends, contrasting the lifelong loyalty of Gen X with the mobility that defines the Millennial work ethos and lays out strategies to retain the best and brightest of every age. If you're looking to turn a generational jigsaw into a strategic advantage, this episode isn't just insightful—it's an essential guide to mastering the art of multigenerational management.

| 14 Jun 2022 | 030: Artificial Intelligence in the Workplace | 00:12:09 | |
Artificial Intelligence can be used to streamline the various processes used in the recruiting and hiring process. There are many benefits including a reduction of time for all parties involved, as well as a decrease in expense, greater efficiency and overall standardization of the hiring process. However, there is a concern that the information inputted into the system may have the opposite of the intended effect, and rather than standardize the process, may overly limit or even disqualify members of a protected class. This creates potential liability and risk for the employer. LETS WORK TOGETHER: Have questions? Florida businesses with employees can schedule a consultation here.

| 24 May 2023 | 043: Invisible Illness in the Workplace – with Alyson Seligman | 00:28:32 | |
When I first spoke with Alyson Seligman, I was struck by her incredible story of resilience and determination after being suddenly paralyzed thirteen years ago due to a rare, chronic condition. Not only did she overcome this challenge, but she now uses her voice to educate and empower others who may be dealing with similar invisible illnesses, as well as helping businesses create a more inclusive environment for employees with disabilities. In this episode, we have an eye-opening conversation about the importance of understanding and complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and how employers can better support their employees with invisible illnesses. Throughout our discussion, Alyson shares valuable insights on the ADA's interactive process and the steps employees can take to request and receive the accommodations they need to thrive in the workplace. We also explore how employers, HR professionals, and coworkers can make a difference by fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment, providing reasonable accommodations, and avoiding judgment of those making requests for accommodations. Alyson's personal experience managing her invisible illness and working remotely offers a powerful perspective on the benefits and challenges of accommodating disabilities in the workplace. Finally, Alyson provides practical tips for employers to engage in the interactive process effectively and shares information about her own speaking engagements. As a motivational speaker, Alyson is passionate about helping businesses and individuals create supportive cultures that empower employees with disabilities and invisible illnesses. So, give this episode a listen, and don't forget to rate and review the show to help us reach more listeners who are interested in creating a more inclusive workplace and complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

| 27 Jan 2022 | 021: What to Include in an Offer Letter | 00:13:56 | |
After the interview, the offer letter is potentially the next major interaction a prospective employee may have with your business. Offer letters are important for legal purposes and to prevent litigation. Many states have at-will employment, so there may not necessarily be a contract at the time of hire. However, for at will employment states, there should be an offer letter. In this podcast episode, we are discussing the dos and don’ts of offer letters. I discuss what should be included, and what you should not include. For example, include specifics like start date, rate of pay (include hourly or annual salary) and when bonus or commission will be paid. You will also want to include that the employment is at will. A few things you want to keep out are verbiage that mentions the duration of the job or what constitutes grounds for termination, as this may inadvertently create a contract in an otherwise at will state.

| 02 Feb 2022 | 022: The Importance of Onboarding New Employees | 00:07:32 | |
The onboarding process is very important for several reasons. First, it’s one of the first impressions the company will make on the new hire. The systems, processes, how he/she is introduced to the day to day of what he/she will be doing. If the first impression is chaos, confusion, overwhelm, this is how the employee will perceive that the entire company is run. In comparison, if the employee is met with a warm welcome, properly intrude to the processes and systems, and has a chance to experience the culture, he/she will feel better about the decision to join the company. In the long run, this will serve to Limit overwhelm and reinforce the clear expectations and improved retention rates. In this episode, we will discuss:
