Diversity, Inclusion & Equity extends far deeper than rhetoric. We engage in safe, polite discussion about how to make our workplace environments more diverse, inclusive and equitable while valuing differences, and welcoming everyone regardless of those differences, and so on… We’ve all heard the normal conversation. While it’s a nice tune, it doesn’t take into consideration the deep undertones of …
I ended 2019 (literally) with my new years’ eve post that Politics has now arrived for all of us in HR. And now it is time for an update. What a month so far! Two of the biggest Supreme Court decisions this century – adding LGBQ protection to Title 7 and DACCA relief, racism taking center stage, and John Bolton’s …
So here we all are, this is really happening. A pandemic response of historic significance, social unrest like we haven’t seen since the 1960’s, and it’s less than six months until we have an election that promises to provide an explosive outcome – no matter who is found to be the victor. That’s one huge matzah ball. If it wasn’t …
“Happy Black History Month!” Sometimes white people tiptoe around saying that. Wish you didn’t have to say it? Well, think about how black people feel. They probably don’t want to say it either. They probably wish that we learned about the history of everyone in this nation including African Americans. But nay, as a country we have failed to teach …
I exited the elevator, right into… “Oh, there you are. Do you have some time later today? I’m totally unsupported. This is a hostile work environment I need to take a medical because of this place…I’m still waiting on my manager to get back to me on that. I’m a Jewish female over 40 with a disability, and I’m being …
Sorry, I am not talking about the book. This Built to Last is about centuries old principles, practices and even some physical items. Its Presidents’ week. A celebration of two of our former Presidents, Washington and Lincoln. So, my post today will reflect on this and their impact on our world today. One might say I am taking advantage of …
This didn’t get kicked up in the HR blogosphere too much and I was surprised, but it was released during the holidays and, let’s face it, we really don’t care about social equality if it effects our time off. Twitter recently named its new Diversity Chief, and it’s a white guy! That isn’t sitting well with folks who are really into …
I’m in labor. One nurse is holding one foot; another is holding the other. There’s a doctor in-between my legs, and my husband is at my side. (He was instructed under no uncertain circumstances to go below my knees.) It’s time to push. I, of course, am drugged with an epidural. They have to tell me when to push because …
Once upon a time, in 1983, a track & field team was formed at a small division III school in Northeast, PA, named Moravian College. Like most new athletic programs, recruiting was difficult with the absence of a championship and lack of big-name athletes. The head coach, well aware he would not land the High School State Champion, decided to …
George Zimmerman has been acquitted. I wonder how some of our colleagues are feeling. Do they feel like reasonable doubt is reasonable doubt? Or do they feel like they ain’t shit? What do you think about the Zimmerman trial? Do you feel that it’s inappropriate to talk about this in the office? What are your employees talking about? What are …
