"Who's HR for HR?"🎙

Serious question: If you’re in HR, WHO do you go to if you have an issue at work? As of the time you’re reading this, Leigh’s response on this episode has already been viewed 175,000+ times today. 👀

You can always count on us to spice up your Wednesday. Today we talk about a serious issue, with some funny takes (see above) but also true advice. HR is not immune from drama (just listen to our podcast for proof of that), but that doesn’t mean that HR -or anyone- should suffer in silence. Listen and share with your team - including our discussion questions below. Listen, discuss and join us again on Friday for our new weekly happy hour episodes!

I know, now we’re dreaming of Friday, but let’s get you through today first - in this week’s episode:

• Intro Story: A Bestie listener submission! (“What CEO owns the newsletter?!”)

• Cringy Corporate Speak: Best regahhhhds (What “unusual” email signatures have you seen?)

• HR for HR: “What do I do if I’m in HR, and I have an issue with the Chief Human Resources Officer?” (We each give real tips)

• As always, some Questions & Comments to end the meeting (what we do to relax outside of work, and what we’ve been yelled at for at work).

Now, the discussion questions for your team - each week in our email:

• Cobbler’s Kids Have No Shoes:

  • How can we create a support system within our HR team to ensure each member feels supported when facing stress or burnout?

  • What strategies or resources are we currently lacking that could help our team manage stress more effectively?

  • How can we work with other departments to understand what they do and explain what we do, so we can provide proactive support to them and make our lives easier, too?

Use these for your team, and let us know how the discussions go. 

In the meantime, pop the new episode on - while you’re there, ratings and reviews help support us!
