Episode 8: Sims Tillirson Talks Nike’s, Employee Benefits, & Wellness

Sims Tillirson is a well-known personality from LinkedIn and I’m super excited to sit down with him again to catch up.  You may know him from his skits he posts, the songs he sings, his raw and open presentation of himself, but I sit down and get a few layers deeper on this episode.  We both share an affinity for Nike’s in the workplace so we dive into that topic to get the engines running before pivoting to a lengthy conversation about employee benefits.  How do you get the most from your broker relationships?  How can you drive down costs while maintaining a high level of benefits for your employees?  Are there new legislations or compliance issues I have to be aware of regarding how we provide benefits?  All these questions are answered before we finish up talking about wellbeing…most notably ours.

THANK YOU:

Intro and Theme song for Tom’s Engaging HR is “Better” by Break Signals.  Break Signals just released their first studio album “A Steady Frequency” and it absolutely rocks, check it out here:  Break Signals: A Steady Frequency

• Fun fact, the song “That Guy”, which is also on the album, was inspired by a magician that was hanging around outside The HR Technology Conference in 2022

Karl Pawlewicz: He was integral with helping with our logo, social media, and answering my 1,000 questions while building out the show.  I appreciate you and your friendship for over 20 years, you’re the man!
