I am so pleased to welcome Laurie Ruettimann to the show. Laurie had spent many years in human resources leadership and realized she hated her job. She left her position in HR and is now on a mission to fix work. She has some ideas about what is currently wrong with work and some steps we can take to fix those problems; not only in our workplaces but in our lives as well.
FUNDAMENTALLY THE WORLD OF WORK IS BROKENThe world of work exists so corporations can make a profit. Profits are acquired based on the work of employees. Because of that, there is a lot of talk about the employee experience and the importance of employees. However, most policies do not match up with what we say we want for our employees versus what we actually provide them. This is a system problem and Laurie has some thoughts on addressing this problem, head on.
WE FIX WORK BY FIXING OURSELVESThe other element, when it comes to fixing work, is the emotional and psychological side of ourselves that we take to work. Laurie says that she fundamentally believes, “We fix work by fixing ourselves.” We need to examine ourselves, our values, and how we lead our lives at home. In this week’s episode, we dive deeper into the holistic view of fixing work as well as working to make positive changes to fix the world around you.
Episode Highlights:
Until next time, lead well!
