Show Topic:
Can you go ten minutes without checking your email?
Do you find yourself picking up your phone and suddenly realizing you’re not sure what you were planning to search for or what app you were going to visit?
Does the same thing happen when you’re on a tight deadline?When you have to be productive, but the envelope icon keeps flashing on your screen or your phone keeps pinging?
On this episode of HR Power Hour, join co-host Tawny Alvarez as she talks to Jeff Wozer, writer, comedian, speaker, about the effect screen time is having on productivity and proposed ways that employees can take back the time they are losing to digital distractions.
About The Guest:
Having toured nationally for 20-plus years on the comedy club and corporate circuit, performing with the likes of Martin Short, Jim Gaffigan and John Oliver, Jeff Wozer now pulls back the curtain on digital distraction, helping people, at both work and home, make better decisions with their screen use time.
Through key notes and breakout sessions his engaging blend of insight and humor educates individuals on digital-balance practices so that they, not their devices, are controlling their attentions and, ultimately, their days. Jeff’s insights, borne from his own screen- struggle story, has educated audiences at conferences and business meetings across the continent.
Some of his clients include the Alaska Recreation and Park Association, Premera Health, BASF, the New York State Correction and Youth Services Association, Novelis Aluminum, the Colorado Mortgage Lenders Association and the Contra Costa County Employer Advisory Council, to name a few.

Show Topic:
In onboarding employees, one question that is often at top of mind for an applicant is what is the pay rate and how often does payment occur?
Imagine if the response to the second question was—daily. Specifically, once an employee finishes their work for the day and inputs their hours, their pay is deposited into their bank account before they’re sitting down to dinner.
While many companies maintain their weekly or bi-weekly pay cycles without giving the process a second thought, our current culture is requiring employers to re-think not just how much they compensate employees, but also, how often.
On this episode of HR Power Hour, join Tawny Alvarez in a conversation about this very topic with Brett Barlow, CEO of Everee, a fintech company that is disrupting the two-week pay cycle by making it easy to pay workers instantly.
