Have you ever talked on the phone with someone and then met in real life only to be surprised at what the person looked like? What does the accent of television and movie characters speak to as to a character’s personality and skillset?
How, if at all, does the accent of a prospective employee impact decision-makers in determining whether the individual is qualified for the position?

In business we have information coming at us a mile a minute. Some of it’s useful, some of it not-so-much. At the same time, each of us (and our employees) have lives outside of work.
Big things, little things, old things, new things, all the things that we carry with us that makes us who we are–but which also can interfere with productivity and general ability to be “present” at work.
In this episode of HR Power Hour, join host Tawny Alvarez, as she talks to Dr. Amy Wood, psychologist, about ways that high performers can defy disruption and improve their focus.
From understanding the effect technology has on our lives–both how it helps and hinders productivity–to how clutter in the work environment is adversely affecting our ability to think clearly, this show will be packed with helpful tips to improve your and your team’s focus.

Show Topic:
What is important to “you” in workplace culture? 63% of employees say RESPECT and if they do not feel respected, they will leave. So how do you build a culture that focuses on respect and builds trusting relationships in a work environment? How does it affect women vs other genders in the workplace?
In this episode of the HR Power Hour, host CMA’s David Ciullo discusses Let’s Discuss Workplace Culture… with Coleen Greco, Joyologist and Coach that empowers and inspires women to reclaim their joy. Listen to simple and practical examples and stories of how women have changed their paradigm, made themselves heard, and find balance and joy in their lives.

Employers often ask their employees to “bring their whole self to work.” Companies ask employees to engage in inclusion endeavors and to help the organization achieve its mission as it relates to culture, diversity, and growth.
Often, however, when the organization is unsuccessful in achieving any of these goals, the organization blames the individual—using terms and phrases such as “they weren’t the right fit” or they didn’t “integrate” well with the “culture”.
But the issue could be larger than these catch-phrases. Instead, it may be time for the organization to be asking—do employees feel psychologically safe at work?
On this episode of HR Power Hour, join Tawny Alvarez and Chuck Mollor, founder, CEO, executive coach, and advisor at MCG Partners, as they discuss the importance of psychological safety at work, including why it’s important and how you can help to build a more psychologically safe work environment for your employees.
