008: Leading Inclusively Through RTO (Return to Office)

In today’s interlude episode, I’m sharing some key questions leaders should be asking themselves as employees return to the office after over a year of remote work. Especially in emerging hybrid models where employees can work in the office some days and work from home on others, there are important considerations that leaders must be cognizant of as they begin to design new policies and working arrangements. Some key challenges to consider as employees return to the office are: <ul> <li>Visibility and advancement can be hampered by the “flexibility stigma.” Remember that employees who choose to come to the office to work are not necessarily more “engaged” or “committed” than employees who choose to work from home. What processes will you put in place during employee evaluations to ensure that remote workers aren’t overlooked for advancement opportunities?</li> <li>What is the company culture you’re creating for both in-office and remote employees? Be intentional about creating opportunities for remote employees and employees who utilize hybrid-work arrangements to build connection and community</li> <li>Make sure you’re designing inclusive meetings so they’re accessible to all. For example, deaf and hard of hearing employees might rely on lip reading to stay engaged in meetings, which is impossible to do if in-office employees are wearing masks. How can these meetings be more accessible? </li> </ul> Lois Jeffers, Host of the Lead with Lois podcast, is a lawyer turned Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Practitioner, and an Executive Leadership Coach.

007: Leadership in Times of Crisis | How Leaders Should Drive Conversations During a Social Justice Crisis

Today I’m continuing my interlude series on leading during times of crisis, especially a social justice crisis. I’m diving into something many leaders struggle with: how to talk to their team members during or after a racially motivated incident. This can be an extremely sensitive topic for team members, so I am walking you through steps you can take to connect authentically and openly with your team. Key Takeaways from the Episode: <ul> <li>Set an extremely supportive tone at the beginning of any communication. Make it known that you are there to listen and remember to decenter yourself.</li> <li>Don’t make assumptions about a person’s racial identity and don’t assume that all members of a group are processing the event or crisis in the same way.</li> <li>When having a 1:1 conversation with a team member, remember to practice empathy. Don’t try to explain away or normalize their experience, just listen and hold space for them. </li> </ul> Lois Jeffers, Host of the Lead with Lois podcast, is a lawyer turned Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Practitioner, and an Executive Leadership Coach.

006: How Leaders Should Prepare For Supporting Communities During Social Justice Crises

In today’s interlude episode, I am sharing my thoughts on how leaders can support their team members in underrepresented communities after external crises occur within these communities. Leaders should acknowledge tragedies and events impacting these communities and have crucial conversations about how their teams and organizations can show allyship, but it's critical that leaders engage in reflection and inner work first, starting with these questions: <ol> <li>What is my motivation?</li> <li>What is uncomfortable about this for me?</li> <li>What do I need to learn and unlearn?</li> </ol> I break down what to consider when reflecting on these three questions and why it’s so important to do so before you start a conversation with your team.
