“I worked with Robert for many years in different capacities, mainly Human Resources and Training/Development. Robert has always been someone I could count on to get the information I needed and to get the job done, no matter what was involved. Working with Robert as a Regional Director of Training, he always brought great insight and direction to any project. It was always a pleasure working with him and I knew he would be able to not only handle, but excel at any project or endeavor. ”

What are some creative ways to communicate culture change vision besides email and meetings?
Think about how you show the data you want to tell by choosing the story that makes sense for the situation. For example, if you are thinking about sharing your employee engagement data, is simply putting PowerPoint slides together with no journey really the optimal solution? You have to think about what is the journey and story you want to share. Potentially, it is a video or a PowerPoint with the journey.

LGBTQ Inclusion in the Workplace: An Understanding of Hiring and Promotional Practices
ProQuest Dissertations Publishing
See publicationThe primary problem of this study was to understand the lived experiences of lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) employees in the workplace and their
opportunities for hiring and promotions within an organization. The purpose of this qualitative
phenomenological study was to explore the lived experience of why organizations do not fully
utilize their self-identification for LGBTQ employees the same way they use diversity criteria for

gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) employees in the workplace and their
opportunities for hiring and promotions within an organization. The purpose of this qualitative
phenomenological study was to explore the lived experience of why organizations do not fully
utilize their self-identification for LGBTQ employees the same way they use diversity criteria for
hiring and talent practices. This study used qualitative research methods to gather data from
interviews, surveys and focus groups that contain direct quotes from either people who identified
as LGBTQ, worked in HR, or worked on diversity and inclusion initiatives within their
organization. The findings of this study were demonstrated by themes that found selfidentification options during the employee recruitment phase were linked with greater hiring
intention from the perception of the participants in this study. This analysis and its findings add
to the collection of literature that advocates for further inclusive behaviors for the LGBTQ
community in not only employment but all aspects of their lives. The overall findings of this
study revealed the effects of LGBTQ diversity and inclusion on internal movement and the
perception of LGBTQ employees

There's been a lot of employment law guidance and activity in the past month - we've seen the final rules on the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, increase in overtime threshold, and changes to noncompete agreements. Last week, the EEOC released guidance on harassment - the first in nearly 25 years! The guidance addresses workplace harassment related to sexual orientation and gender identity, pregnancy and related medical conditions, and remote work. Now is a good time to review your policy, make sure you have a clear reporting process, and good employee communications. #harassment #eeoc #nondiscrimination https://lnkd.in/gRfdGKWs

In a recent, short Compensation Conversation webinar, "Strategies for Inspiring Career Development and Continuous Learning," colleague Scott March and I addressed challenges in orgs today when it comes to learning. We provided strategies to inspire employees to prioritize learning & career development, practical tips for designing learning experiences that resonate, and discussed how to develop a culture of continuous learning. Which tip is most helpful to you? https://lnkd.in/eKGHgv2g

Samara and her team will listen, answer your questions, and help you evaluate your options. Or maybe you'll just find a buddy to study with. #chishrm
