Tales from Work Travel

Hey Besties!

It's another week in HR-land, and as always, do we have some stories to share. Grab your coffee (did you have to bring it from home like Jamie?), settle in, and let’s… “get to work.”

But enough about that - in this week’s episode:

• Intro Story: Jamie’s back with another creamer caper. This time, it’s not a sweet old lady. It’s… well, listen to who it is (and why Leigh and Ashley are ready to take revenge for Jamie’s sake).

• Corporate Cringe Speak: Another corporate speak that gives you an unwelcome visual (Thanks to Ashley’s father for giving us a perfectly acceptable alternative).

• Hot Topic - Work Travel: Work travel can be a mixed bag. On one hand, it's exciting to break out of the normal routine and see new places. On the other hand, time away from home and travel policies can make the excitement fade (please feel free to share your good trips (and not-so-good).

• Questions & Comments: Our most memorable work travel experiences (how Ashley was like Kevin in “Home Alone 2”).

Discussion Guide - Your podcast club or team meetings guide:

• Jokey Jokey: Have you seen a joke at work (eg, a creamer thievery) not been as well-received as the culprit expects?

• Corporate Speak: You hear it on “HR Besties” every week, but what’s corporate speak you’d like to ban forever?

• Work Travel: How do we balance work travel to make sure team members know what’s expected of them and don’t feel worn out after?

As always, we love hearing from you. Send in your stories, questions, and comments, and let's keep this conversation going. Until next time, keep it human, keep it real, and keep it... okay, we’ve run out of adjectives so we’ll say keep the feedback up!
