Welcome to the premiere episode of the REL Talk podcast, the home of real conversations about real HR topics for the real world, brought to you by RelTalent.com. Co-hosted by REL Talent’s Managing Director of Culture and HR, Maria Rodriguez, Managing Director of Talent and Organizational Development, Michelle Elder, and Managing Director of Team Development and Coaching, Keith Leonard, this is a podcast created by three professionals who are decidedly passionate about their work.
By way of introduction, our hosts discuss the circumstances which led to the creation of RelTalent.com, and introduce themselves, their stories, and their roles. They then go on to share the reasons why they started this podcast, just what you can expect from it each week, and touch briefly on some examples of upcoming topics and segments. While it is very true there will be many times when the opinions of these passionate professionals will differ in the episodes to come, one thing that they all agree upon, and which will be woven throughout the series, is the importance of companies maintaining a policy of putting people first. Today’s opening episode of the REL Talk podcast presents the first of many powerful conversations about elevating people perspective in organizations that will positively impact the lives of business owners, leaders, and employees along the way.
