Everything shifted with the pandemic. And as leaders, what we need to understand is what employees truly need and how we can realistically meet those needs. So, we need to consider the whole employee here. There are basic needs that must be met. At absolute minimum: stability. People don’t need to have anxiety about whether or not their job is stable. They need a healthy income, they need healthy benefits. But we also need to start thinking about family, community, social and environmental impact. It just expands. Previously, it used to be Human Resources that was focused on policy, procedure, compliance. Those things are obviously still incredibly important and they need to be focused on as well, but it goes so far beyond that. Where we really need to win over the hearts of our people if we want an engaged workforce. That’s going to be incredibly important as we go forward. And it's challenging, it’s not obvious all the time. And so, we need to be open-minded and we need to be able to adapt.” – Danielle Tabor ------------------- Episode Timestamps: *(01:42): Danielle’s background *(02:48): Danielle’s role as Chief People Officer at Emburse *(03:23): Segment: Story Time *(03:39: How Emburse shifted during the pandemic *(09:26): Danielle’s partnership with the internal comms team *(10:43): Segment: Getting Tactical *(12:46): Ensuring an equitable employee experience *(17:46): How Emburse is combating employee burnout *(20:47): How Danielle’s degree in Education influences her job *(22:24): Segment: Asking For a Friend *(26:15): How Danielle is getting better at her job through feedback ------------------- Links: Connect with Danielle on LinkedIn Emburse Amanda’s LinkedIn www.simpplr.com/podcast
