Bringing Your True Self to Work...

Hey Besties!

Happy Wednesday! You be you today, because this episode is all about bringing your “true self” to work. And Leigh tells all about the time an @HRManifesto follower got in trouble for liking one of her posts. What?! Yup, listen to our newest episode to hear all about it.

In today’s episode:

• Intro Story: What job taught Ashley about the true need for HR? (I mean, all of them, but perhaps this one in particular)

• Corporate Cringe Speak: A phrase dating back to the Industrial Revolution (and FYI as you listen, “syllablatically” is not a word, but we now know that “syllabically” is).

• Hot Topic - Bringing Our Personal Lives to Work: Why not everyone wants to do that, and what to be mindful of (from birthdays to clothing to social media).

• Questions & Comments: Jamie sounds off on dress codes, Leigh tells us about that follower who got in trouble, and Ashley talks about a benefit of having a uniform at work.

Discussion Guide - Your weekly podcast club or team meeting questions:

• Job History: What’s a job you had previously that taught you lessons you still use today?

• Getting Personal: How can workplaces build collaboration without pressuring team members to give personal info or attend team-building events if they don’t feel comfortable?

• Social media: Do you have boundaries around social media, and ever feel pressured to connect with colleagues?

  Tune in and use these questions to talk about important subjects at work. To those in HR that Leigh and Ashley met at SHRM, it was great to meet! Thank you for listening and saying hello!

Let us know what you think of the episode - we love hearing from HR Besties listeners!
