Let's Sound Off With Stephanie Lemek - The Wounded Workforce and HR

The brilliant Stephanie Lemek is joining me in the studio this week. Stephanie left In-house HR after spending 16 years working in various industries. Why? Like many of us who took the time to reflect on our HR careers during the pandemic, she realised corporate HR was not serving her gifts as an HR professional. Today, Stephanie runs her own HR consultancy and spends time on a pet project she likes to call The Wounded Workforce, where she helps HR professionals recognise employees experiencing trauma by first recognising their trauma. You do not want to miss this episode. HR professionals experience trauma in the workplace, and often they brush it aside to move on to the following work task; as time passes, that trauma builds until it explodes and shows up in your body and behaviour in ways that make you have to take a step back to address the trauma. Stephanie and I take some time to talk about our workplace traumas and why the work we both do matters at this time.
