How effectively does your workplace culture identify and address hidden agendas that undermine transparency and productivity?
Discover how to create a more authentic, transparent workplace on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Wendy Sellers, known as "The HR Lady," brings her 30+ years of experience and no-nonsense approach to reveal how organizations can move beyond hidden agendas to build cultures focused on results and solutions.
Listen as Dr. Joey and Wendy explore:
☀️ How to be realistic about hiring and compensation to attract (and keep) the right talent
☀️ Why job descriptions must accurately reflect actual responsibilities and expectations
☀️ The critical importance of training managers to provide regular, specific feedback
☀️ How to measure culture and demonstrate ROI through employee surveys and committees
☀️ Creating a workplace built on clear company values that guide all decisions
Wendy transforms organizations by helping leaders take a realistic approach to human resources. With her trademarked straight-talking style, she shows how companies can move beyond unrealistic job descriptions, vague feedback, and empty surveys to create workplace cultures where employees feel genuinely valued and engaged.
🔑 Key Insight: "The best way to attract top talent is to be very realistic about what we can pay, what we can offer, and what we can provide to new hires and current employees. Companies need to stop chasing unicorn candidates and instead create accurate job descriptions that reflect what's truly available in the market."
💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Conduct an employee engagement survey and actually act on it. Form a diverse committee to analyze the results, communicate the findings transparently, and implement changes. Don't wait a year to take action—let employees know your plans immediately so they see you're listening.
