Dissecting Presenteeism and Strategies for Enhancing WellBeing with Professor Sir Cary Cooper
In part one of a special two-part episode of the HRchat Podcast with guest Professor Sir Cary Cooper, we focus on measuring presenteeism, optimizing productivity, and fostering a culture of employee health and wellbeing.Professor Sir Cary Cooper, CBE is the 50th Anniversary Prof of Organizational Psychology & Health at Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, the author and editor of numerous books, and is one of Britain's most quoted business experts. Questions in part one include: Rethinking presenteeism to achieve higher productivity: "Our latest research at Robertson Cooper has turned conventional wisdom about presenteeism on its head. We've identified that not all instances of working whilst unwell should be classified as 'presenteeism,' paving the way for a new era in how organizations manage employee health, wellbeing, and productivity." What we've discovered: There are three distinct types of working whilst unwell, only one of which should be labeled presenteeism and eradicated from businesses." Tell us about the 'correct' definition of presenteeism. "The other two types, "Functional Presence" (Pragmatic and Therapeutic), aren't always a cost to businesses and may actually be desirable for both the organization and the employee." Tell us more about these types. What impact can presenteeism have on colleagues? Recent market reports suggest employees will be staying in the jobs for longer in 2024. How can employers minimize the chances of presenteeism and, instead, help to develop and grow the development of their people? We do our best to ensure editorial objectivity.

EI Sunday Supplement: Inspiring High Performance
When a leader inspires performance in others, they facilitate optimal outcomes in a variety of situations. A leader who inspires their team will encourage better problem solving, and they’ll both recognize and support the work of those around them.Leaders who inspire those around them — rather than simply managing performance using key performance indicators (KPIs) — will help to empower their team to perform above and beyond what’s expected. A leader who fails to inspire performance will be seen as indifferent.Inspiring performance is an important part of being an effective leader because:Leadership is fundamentally about facilitating the performance of othersManaging performance with rules and key performance indicators usually produces an “expected” result, rather than an “unexpected” high performance resultTeam members learn more and develop their capacities best when they’re inspired, which means an inspiring leader can spur continuous improvement from year to year

The Democratic Workplace with Ben Eubanks
In this HRchat, we welcome Ben Eubanks back to the show. Ben is an HR analyst, author, fellow podcaster, and Chief Research Officer at Lighthouse Research & Advisory.As a human capital management industry analyst, Ben helps companies and vendors with strategy, content, and more. He has been a speaker for over a decade at events such as the SHRM Annual Conference, ATD TechKnowledge, and the HR Technology Conference.Previously, Ben worked as an "in-the-trenches leader in the HR field" within smaller organizations, government contracting firms, and the non-profit sector. Questions For Ben Include:You recently wrote a piece for the team at Workplace from Meta on creating an environment where employees can raise their voice and contribute without fear or judgment called The Democratic Workplace. In the article, you touched on the PRESS framework for transparency, how leaders can commit to openness, and whether this will ultimately lead to chaos. Can you tell us about this PRESS framework and how it can help foster work environments that embrace innovation, collaboration, and free-thinking? "While there are some core concepts that remain critical (respect, fairness, and so on), the way companies approach it is continuing to go deeper than the old-fashioned (and ineffective) diversity quota on hiring." In an October 2022 session hosted by you and George Rogers, you talk with some leaders and experts that are pushing the boundaries when it comes to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. You also unveiled some of your new research on the topic; shedding light on what contributes to employee belonging (and what it means in terms of retention, performance, and more). Can you tell us more about the session and your new findings? In a recent recruiting study, you asked "what metrics are you using most often?" What are the findings and do you agree with the people analytics focus of, and hiring metrics used by, most orgs? How can we measure culture fit and 'culture add' in the hiring process? In early 2022, you published the second edition of Artificial Intelligence for HR: Use AI to Support and Develop a Successful Workforce. The updated book tries to answer: "How can HR professionals understand the variety of opportunities AI has created for the HR function and how best to implement these in their organization?" Tell us about the second edition and some of the hoped-for learning outcomes. We do our best to ensure editorial objectivity.

How to Achieve a 5-Star Career w/ Penelope Przekop, PDC Pharma Strategy
We live in a world dominated by ratings. We generally prefer to purchase 5-star products, read 5-star books, eat at 5-star restaurants, and watch 5-star movies. Why then would you settle for anything less than a 5-star career? Today’s guest says you absolutely should not, and offers ways to be your best self at work and in your personal life.In this HRchat episode, we hear from Penelope Przekop, a corporate quality management expert, entrepreneur, and writer. Throughout her 30+ year career, Penelope has worked with numerous Fortune 100 pharma companies, including Pfizer, Merck, Lilly, and Glaxo Smith Kline, and held leadership positions at Novartis, Covance, Wyeth, and Johnson & Johnson.Penelope is the founder and CEO of PDC Pharma Strategy and serves as the Chief Compliance Officer for Engrail Therapeutics.She is also the author of Six Sigma for Business Excellence (McGraw-Hill), four novels: Please Love Me, Aberrations, Centerpieces, and Dust and she has a new book coming out in November called 5-Star Career: Define and Build Yours Using the Science of Quality Management: amazon.com/5-Star-Career-Science-Quality-Management/Questions Include:Let’s begin by understanding a bit about you. While struggling to overcome a troubling childhood, become the best version of yourself, and build a career, you began incorporating quality management concepts into your personal thought process at home and at work. As a result, you say you found what proved for you to be “the missing link” between all of your hard work and feeling rewarded. Tell me more.Why do people settle for mediocracy? Is it laziness (too much ‘Netflix and chill’ time)? Is it a lack of opportunity? Is it the system keeping us down? Is it something else?Why do you believe one’s career is, essentially, what we make of it? Talk to me about the concept of a person’s career being a product created by their own process. Share too, how to improve that process by learning to manage all the parts as an integrated, unified whole.In your new book, you suggest it’s possible for us to each clearly define what a quality career means. Tell us about that process. As part of that answer, perhaps you can explain what you mean when you explain that a ‘successful career is not just about money and that it’s vital to shift one’s personal philosophy, mindset, and operating system to support developing it?You stress the critical role data plays in making decisions that can produce a 5-star career. How can data guide us along our career journeys and help us to avoid impulsive leaps and be more honest with ourselves?We do our best to ensure editorial objectivity.
