HR Inside OutEnhancing the Employment Experience – Onboarding and Retention – With Guest Dr. Aliaa RemtillaEpisode Intro:Most organizations are struggling with skill shortages and retention of talent.

HR Inside OutUnderstanding and Dealing with Negativity Bias with Guest Cheryl BrewsterEpisode Intro:Ever find yourself constantly ruminating over a comment where you felt criticized, still fuming over that driver that gave you the finger on your way to work, really down over that disappointing performance review, and hypersensitive over what felt like a disappointed look towards you from your boss.

You are not alone. It’s...2024-02-261h 01

HR Inside OutPsychological Safety with Host Susan NeyMany of our organizations are striving to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in our workplaces. We can’t achieve any of these without ensuring that these same work environments are felt to be psychologically safe, where candor and willingness to engage in “productive conflict” is part and parcel of learning from different points of view. According to Amy Edmondson in her excellent book The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth, “…in a psychologically safe workplace, people are not hindered by interpersonal fear. They feel willing and able to take the inherent i...2023-07-1026 min

HR Inside OutSusan Ney on AgeismI have been surprised to hear ageism being referred to by a growing number of my colleagues and their children. Ageism is defined as prejudice or discrimination on the grounds of a person’s age – at any age. And like other forms of bias, ageism is not based in biology but is socially constructed. It starts in childhood. We pick up cues that then guide our feelings and behaviour towards people of different ages and towards ourselves. According to the Global Report on Ageism, “Ageism affects us throughout life and exists in our institutions, our relationships and oursel...2023-01-1629 min

HR Inside OutNurtured by Nature with Host Susan NeyIn my last podcast, I talked about saying yes to opportunities; that these can take us to experiences and places we could not have ever imaged. Something we often don’t say “yes” to, is taking breaks. I have been the person who, fully focused on what I was doing, didn’t stop what I was doing to grab that morning coffee, or at times, lunch. As a leader I always encouraged that team members ensure that they take their breaks, but I often didn’t model my words, and therefore, likely left team members confused at what I rea...2022-09-1219 min

It is all a part of “daring to soar”. Hope you will join me! About the Host: Susan has worked with...2022-07-2510 min

HR Inside OutTransitioning to Retirement with Host Susan NeyRetirement is a topic becoming of significantly more importance and interest to individuals of my generation.

HR Inside OutCommunication and Fierce Conversations with Susan NeyIn this week’s podcast we talk about the importance of effective communication and what Susan Scott in her excellent book Fierce Conversations: Achieving Success at Work & in Life, One Conversation at a Time, calls, “fierce conversations”. Overall, most of us could be much better communicators. Too frequently we attempt to express ourselves and find that what we had hoped to convey has been received in a manner that we had not intended or expected. With our incresased use of emails, texts, tweets and the like, I see this getting worse, not better over time.Scott...2021-09-0627 min

HR Inside OutConflict and Conflict Resolution with Host Susan NeyI don’t think it would be much of a stretch to assume that, at some point in our careers we have all been party to, or impacted by, conflict-laden situations: individuals not getting along, someone not pulling their weight, colleagues not showing up on time or at all, poor behaviour, rules not followed, as only some examples. All too often, these situations get tolerated, ignored, excused, and otherwise not dealt with. I have been in situations that allowed me to address such issues, in others where I have been stymied in do...2021-08-2320 min

HR Inside OutA Career of Building Equity and JusticeWhen we are able to fulfill our life’s purpose, in this case helping ensure that people’s voices were heard, inequities were addressed and choice was actioned, as part of the responsibilities of what we are paid to do, we tend to infuse really positive stuff onto those we work with. I was one of the lucky ones provided the opportunity at an early point in my own career to work with such an individual – Bill Howes.

HR Inside OutExploring Stress Management with Host Susan NeyIn the roles we play, we are expected to be able to not only handle our own stressors, but frequently to mitigate stress for others and be the “go to” for others, for answers.

The eventual return to our “new normal” if there is such a thing, is the next hurdle that we will need to contend with. This past year and a half has for many people, created stressor...2021-07-1227 min
