Workplace Lab Podcast

This is our final episode before Spring Break! Join us again 7th April.
I am again joined by HR friend, Tim Dahlby for some Q&A, but first we try something new and check out twitter's viral hit on office #clapbacks.
We answer your questions on whether or not your job title really matters and how important is your job description. We tackle a question from someone contemplating the repercussions from a demotion before agreeing to take one, and finally we discuss someone who feels as if their current manager might be limiting their future opportunities by giving negative feedback as a reference.

In our 40th episode (woohoo!) I interview, Rocky Romanella, a speaker and author with over 40 years in industry with an interesting origin story.
We discuss a variety of topics, including what being a "balanced leader" means, how intrapreneurship differs from its more famous cousin, entrepreneurship. Rocky takes an "audience question about getting your foot in the door and whether working your way up is worth it, and we also talk about legacy. Whether you are early in your career, or have a lot to give back- legacy is important!

Welcome back- in this episode I am joined by HR expert and recurring co-host Tim Dahlby! We answer 3 more questions from you.
First, a question from someone who has a really great problem: two job offers! We navigate the ups and downs to such a situation. Next, we discuss someone who has a 6 month transition through company downsizing. We give some tips on what you should be thinking about on the HR and personal life change front alike. Finally, we talk someone through how to get back into the job market after taking a break to care for their children.
