The future of work is HERE! We envision a world in which companies exist to better employee experience, not just customer experience because we believe that human-centered workplaces create stronger communities and societies. When you adopt the social responsibility of creating employees that go home happy and create impact in their communities, better outcomes are created — at every level. Social Responsibility at Work is a movement of experts and change makers who are actively creating solutions for this vision, and their message can become a framework for your impact too.

The Conscious Communicator with Kim Clark

Social Responsibility at Work

12/07/22 • 43 min

It seems like we are faced with current and global events that impact us on a weekly basis, which can shake our confidence in our systems. Some employees trust their employer more than they trust their government, so we have an important role to capture those communications. As conscious communicators we have to respond and be that source of truth.

That’s why I am excited to welcome Kim Clark to the podcast today. Kim is Co-author of the Amazon #1 bestseller, "The Conscious Communicator: The Fine Art of Not Saying Stupid Sh*t," She is a Speaker, DEI Strategist, and “Perpetual Learner”

“What is an organization, but a whole bunch of people working towards a common goal?” Kim reminds us that all our business activity is a vessel to achieve greater heights in humanity. We need all of us in order to achieve great things.

We all play a critical role in the DEI efforts of our organization. Let’s make sure to be conscious of our communications to provide a safe space to explore our unconscious biases to ensure a team’s communications are supporting an inclusive environment.

Social Responsibility at Work

03/16/22 • 26 min

Leadership Transformation is taking on a new meaning in the post-pandemic world of work. CEOs feel like they’ve emerged from wartime-like environments and are picking up the pieces of their business. Out of the dust emerges a knowledge that employee experience is the driving factor to HR success.

In this podcast episode, our host, Angela, interviews Derek Lundsten, CEO of LifeGuides, a platform for conscious leaders and value-driven cultures. He has co-founded and supported numerous companies, and remains active within the healthcare technology industry, including several advisory roles with start-up firms and various trade organizations, along with facilitating respective business relationships in fields of interest.

Angela takes a moment to remind us of the power and responsibility that modern leaders have, “Leadership is legacy. Workplaces have a responsibility to send happier, healthier humans home, so that their families and communities are happier and healthier. This is a movement that has been a long time coming”

Tune in to this amazing conversation to enhance your company culture through caring and taking the next step in leadership transformation.

As always stay tuned every Wednesday for new episodes and we’ll see you next week!

Web3 & Decentralized Work with Josh Drean

Social Responsibility at Work

01/11/23 • 32 min

Web3. The Metaverse. Decentralization. You might have heard these terms thrown around by big tech companies like Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook or your 17 year old “crypto bro” nephew, but what does this new tech mean for the future of work? Is it a viable solution for some of the HR problems we are grappling with today? With me to discuss the challenges and opportunities that these technologies present is my good friend Josh Drean.

Josh is a web3 advisor at the Harvard Innovation Labs and Co-founder of DreanMedia, a web3 media agency. Josh is an HR Transformation and Metaverse expert who marries web3 technologies with workplace strategies. He hosts webinars in both the HR tech and web3 space and speaks internationally to bring market insights to digital-first leaders.

In this episode we discuss how emerging AI could potentially take over key HR functions, how “going digital” can lead work to be more human, ironically, and the privacy and security risks to be aware of should these technologies persist.

Regardless of emerging web3 tech and the metaverse, we are tasked with designing employee experiences that offer rich human interactions and purpose-driven work that brings out the best in our people. If these technologies help us get there, then let’s keep learning and growing together.

Thanks, as always, for joining us on these discussions.

IRL: Changing Mindsets to Transform Behaviors with Reggie Butler

Social Responsibility at Work

01/31/23 • 45 min

As we gear up to celebrate Black History Month, it’s essential to reflect on how far our DEI efforts have come in the workplace, and while it’s true that we’ve made some great progress that deserves to be celebrated, we still have a long way to go. That is why we are kick starting the month of February with a powerful and influential figure who has dedicated his life to the movement. Reggie Butler is a highly recognized corporate consultant and public speaker with over 28 years experience in human capital performance management within the private and corporate sectors. As an educator, trainer and inclusion champion he has become a highly sought after speaker through his high energy and impactful delivery style. “If leaders take, not just responsibility, but accountability, for their DEI efforts, we will see organizations make a difference on a deep, systemic level.” The culture of an organization happens simultaneously from the top down and the bottom up. There is often a clear gap between what leaders are saying about the organization and the lived experiences of employees. We need to come down out of the clouds and see culture for what it really is if we are hoping to make lasting change. Be sure to connect with Reggie and listen to their podcast, Care More, for more great insights and thought-provoking discussions.
