Lindsey Caplan joins us again to discuss the stats showing that fewer than one in three employees trust their senior leaders. Next we talk about the employees fired by Meta for misusing their meal credits and what it means about org culture, trust, and how we write and implement our policies. Then, we dig into the stats that a record-low percentage of employees feel genuinely cared for by their employers, and talk about why wellness programs without real action backfire.

On this week's episode, we're doing something a little different. I invited Morgan Williams, Tracie Sponenberg, and Sarika Lamont to go in-depth on one topic - SHRM.
The Problem With SHRM: Why HR Professionals Feel Disappointed, Disillusioned, and DesertedSHRM faces discrimination lawsuit from former employee and criticism from some HR professionalsSHRM announces removal of E from DEISHRM Stands Ready to Partner with Biden Administration to Support Work, Workers and WorkplacesJury may decide whether SHRM conducted sham bias investigationSHRM letter to President-elect TrumpâIt would be an honorâ: SHRMâs Johnny C. Taylor reportedly on Trumpâs short list for labor secretary
SHRM has been the talk of HR news a lot over the past year - they dropped the E from DEI, are facing a lawsuit from a former employee who is alleging discrimination and retaliation, and most recently the CEO was added to a shortlist to serve as Secretary of Labor.
So we dive deep on SHRM - who they are, how they've changed, who they serve, and why it all matters.

In this episode, we talk about a new HR buzz word âpolyworkingâ â juggling multiple jobs to make ends meet. But is it just hustle and grind culture 2.0? Then, we explore recent moves by the CFPB to extend consumer protection into employment data and cautioning businesses about surveiling employees. Finally, we revisit the debate on whether HR is truly âmiserableâ and talk more about how HR experiences tensions that aren't felt by other roles and departments.
