This week on the podcast I'm very excited to bring Michelle Berg to the mic. Michelle is the Chief Visionary Officer of Elevated HR, a fractional HR services firm that believe fiercely that work shouldn't suck.  To continue our conversation on workplace wellbeing and organizational stress, I wanted to have a frank conversation about what is the role HR can and/or should play in supporting organizations to reduce stress and burnout. In this conversation we talk about: How the motto work shouldn't suck is their north star and what organizations should aim for Whether or not engagement surveys should exist Workplace trends regarding stress and burnout Tips for transitioning employees back to the office after stress leave (and tips for leaders to see early warning signs in the first place) Why HR may not be the team to teach leaders about psychological safety, and the role HR play vs department leads in building psychological safety Why more part-time professional roles don't exist and how we can get to a more flexible workplace And much more!  To check out the Less Stressed Leaders training go to impactfulengagement.com/training
