Now it's time to thrive. All right, Well, hi, everybody, and thanks for joining us today. And today's podcast, we're going to be talking about career pathing. And I'm joined by Amanda Mosteller, who is MRA's director of talent development and organizational development. So we really have a true career expert with us today. So I welcome you back, Amanda. You always do such a great job.
00:00:44:01 - 00:01:12:21

So I'm excited for this topic. Thanks for having me back and I love this topic as well. So, absolutely. And I know I talked a little bit about this before, but I know crew passing is not just for younger emerging leaders who have just started out in the workforce. It's really for everybody. So I guess kind of diving in then what is career path and exactly in why would you say it's important for an organization?
00:01:12:23 - 00:01:54:17
Unknown
Yeah. So career pathing is typically quite what you would think. It would sound like taking a role or a career from entry into the organization and mapping out the path within that career within your organization. Why it's important is because it gives people a roadmap to see where they can go. Whether I'm coming in new to my career, as you were mentioning, or just newer to the organization, I might be popping in mid-level, but just seeing what is the opportunity for me in this role, in this space, in this organization?
00:01:54:17 - 00:02:22:21
Unknown
What does that pathway look like? Is it mapped out? Is it defined? And can somebody walk me through it? Helps initially engage folks in not only their current space, but seeing the potential. I was just talking with my mother the other day about how I had 27 and a half years left before retirement. All right. Almost there. So close.
00:02:22:23 - 00:02:47:03
Unknown
And I said to her, gosh, 27 and a half years, that feels like a long time. And if I thought in our organization, those 27 and a half years are in this role I'm in right now and there's nowhere else to go, no other way to grow my skills or move eventually into other spaces and roles within the organization.
00:02:47:04 - 00:03:19:16
Unknown
That really becomes a defeating lot regardless of how much you love an organization. And I love being a part of me very much. But 27 and a half years in one role feels like a long time right? So that's why it's so important, that opportunity to look forward in your future and see evolution for yourself happening within an organization creates that that engagement and that increased retention and that connection to the company.
00:03:19:18 - 00:03:51:10
Unknown
Yeah, for sure. This is something I think Jim Morgan talks about in some of his talent reports. I feel like speaking speaking for like a younger generation employee, surely, like when you're getting a job, like you talk about your current role, but it's like the career path i...

Now it's time to thrive. Well, hello, everybody, and thanks for joining us today. We're we're really hearing more about mindful workplaces nowadays. We thought we would take today's podcast, really think about this topic more in-depth. So i'm here with Laura Ruby senior HR Business partner and HR Business advisor for mra. We're really going to talk about why mindful workplaces are trending or what you really need to be aware of.
00:00:49:05 - 00:01:11:19
Unknown
What are some of the challenges that come along with it in more so or thanks so much for joining us today. I really, really appreciate it. Well thank you. So I'm really pleased to be here. This is definitely a timely concept, I think, for a number of employees to consider or employers to consider. Yeah, absolutely. And I know we were talking about that.
00:01:11:21 - 00:02:02:12
Unknown
You're very passionate about this topic and you've been working in the HR for such a long time that this is kind of the perfect topic to go over today. So I think we should kind of start out with what is a mindful workplace. Can you define it? Yes, so mindful workplace is really a combination of factors as we look at new initiatives that people are working towards in that space is really developing an awareness of an individual's thought processes, their emotions and their actions, and helping to enable them to laser focus on those and remove obstacles to productivity and really improving the work workplace from a variety of different aspects.
00:02:02:14 - 00:02:50:21
Unknown
Yeah, absolutely. And you guys in part two to that question. Can you describe what that whole concept of the mindful workplace really encompasses? It's actually quite broad in as well. In talk today we'll touch on all of those components but it's it's combining more Eastern philosophies about issues of meditation or focus and concentration, breathing, as well as branching into mental health aspects that are damaging workplaces right now and helping individuals to deal with their own anxiety, stress, as well as other things like other issues they may be experiencing.
00:02:50:21 - 00:03:20:21
Unknown
And in relationships, finances, you know, you name it. So it's a very good I'm going to discuss how the company can actually sort of work with developing a healthier source. And actually, I feel like it's definitely transformed throughout the years or in my opinion, I feel like employers didn't really talk about this kind of stuff as much as they do now.
00:03:20:22 - 00:03:48:15
Unknown
They didn't care as much about, you know, providing all these resources and mental health resources and wellness resources to employees. So I think it's great we can kind of cover that and talk about it and just the process and how it's evolved over the years, too. So my next question then would be, do you have any practices that a mindful workplace can kind of what can you implement?
00:03:48:15 - 00:04:35:23
Unknown
What practices can you implement to create a mindful workplace? I mean, it's all over the map, but I think that really companies that are finding great success with impleme...

Hello, everybody, and welcome to 30 Minute Thrive.
00:00:26:18 - 00:00:29:24
Today we're going to be talking about the ins and outs of internships.
00:00:30:03 - 00:00:34:15
So if you're looking to start an internship program at your organization,
00:00:34:21 - 00:00:37:17
or maybe you have one started already, but you're looking to make it
00:00:37:17 - 00:00:41:13
even more successful, it's a good thing you're here today with us
00:00:41:13 - 00:00:46:04
because we're joined by Courtney Lamers, MRA, senior manager of member Engagement
00:00:46:10 - 00:00:50:08
and MRA's Intern Leadership program organizer.
00:00:50:10 - 00:00:54:10
So Courtney's really here to help organizations
00:00:54:10 - 00:00:58:04
not only design and implement an internship program,
00:00:58:04 - 00:01:02:17
but also help develop existing ones into successful programs.
00:01:02:19 - 00:01:06:06
And having been an intern myself at Emory,
00:01:06:08 - 00:01:09:21
I love this topic, and I'm really excited to talk about it.
00:01:09:21 - 00:01:12:11
So, Courtney, let's start.
00:01:12:11 - 00:01:14:24
Start from the top here.
00:01:14:24 - 00:01:18:22
Those who have never implemented an internship program before.
00:01:18:24 - 00:01:23:22
What are some of the key starting factors that a company would really need?
00:01:23:24 - 00:01:24:13
Absolutely.
00:01:24:13 - 00:01:27:05
Great question. And thank you for having me today.
00:01:27:05 - 00:01:27:13
You know,
00:01:27:13 - 00:01:27:23
it really
00:01:27:23 - 00:01:31:16
is that time of the year where everyone is reaching out about internships.
00:01:31:16 - 00:01:35:09
And it's been exciting to hear from a lot of companies that are just
00:01:35:10 - 00:01:37:05
beginning their internship journey.
00:01:37:05 - 00:01:40:14
So I think it's going to be a really fun summer and I'm super
00:01:40:14 - 00:01:43:14
excited for all of you that have interns.
00:01:43:20 - 00:01:46:08
I think those that have had interns have really found it
00:01:46:08 - 00:01:50:02
valuable and continue to see that year over year.
00:01:50:04 - 00:01:53:12
And so I'm really excited for all of those companies that are starting it.
00:01:53:14 - 00:01:56:04
I think that's a great question to start with, just because we do
00:01:56:04 - 00:01:59:21
see a lot of companies that are starting internship program.
00:01:59:23 - 00:02:03:21
And I would say the key in starting an internship program
00:02:04:02 - 00:02:07:04
and there's a lot of things that go into it, but one of the most important
00:02:07:04 - 00:02:10:24
things is making sure that you have the correct manager
00:02:11:01 - 00:02:15:18
and managers in place to support and intern support their experience
00:02:15:18 - 00:02:17:00
as a whole,
00:02:17:00 - 00:02:18:11
and be able to have some of those
00:02:18:11 - 00:02:21:16
difficult conversation zones where I think we see with companies,
