Tired of team meetings that sound like a pack of hyenas arguing? This episode's all about unlocking the secret weapon of assessments!

We delve into the Tracom Social Styles model, where Ashley breaks down the four basic human types: the charging Drivers, the lovable Amiables, the bubbly Expressives, and the meticulous Analyticals. Think of it as your guide to navigating the office jungle! Great assessment facilitators train you to speak fluent "people" by adapting your communication style to each type. Imagine a world where your colleagues actually understand what you're saying!

Lisa throws down the "Don't Be a Quizmaster" gauntlet, reminding us that these assessments are tools, not fortune cookies. We dish on the misuse of assessments in hiring, like bombarding candidates with unpaid quizzes or letting unqualified managers decipher their deepest desires. Assessments are all about self-awareness and communication, not replacing good old-fashioned emotional intelligence. Let us know what your favorite assessments are and why!

Remember when Human Resources was seen as the dreaded 'policy police'? Those days are long gone. In this episode, Lisa Leath, Amy Conway, and Beth Looney, with their combined 60 years of experience, reflect on how they've transformed HR practices over the last two decades, reshaping the way business leaders perceive 'good HR.'

The discussion starts by reminiscing about the old days when HR was primarily responsible for hiring and firing, often cast as corporate enforcers. They each entered the HR industry from different paths – some through education and others through practical experience. Together, they explore what's most essential in meeting the workforce needs of today and what constitutes an effective HR function.

But that's not all! The ladies dive into the world of HR job titles. From the traditional 'Human Resources' and its predecessor 'Personnel' to the newest trendsetting, 'People and Culture' or 'People Operations' titles, they discuss whether these new names are just fancy rebranding or if they signal a deeper shift in HR's role.

To wrap up, the episode tackles two juicy audience questions related to CEOs:

1. "My co-worker is a close friend of the CEO's girlfriend and behaves as if she can do no wrong. We feel bullied by her. What steps should we take?"
2. "How can I effectively manage accommodation requests and support an employee's mental health when their provider advises against meetings with the CEO due to anxiety?"

Tune in to discover Lisa, Amy, and Beth’s insightful advice and engaging discussion on these HR and workplace topics. Whether you're an HR professional or just curious about the evolution of HR practices, this episode offers valuable insights.
