Jess Von Bank is and joined by guest Sarah Reynolds (They/Them) Chief Marketing Officer at HiBob to explore themes of community, emotional well-being, and the importance of inclusivity in the workplace. This important conversations follows the highly charged, much anticipated major US political election during the week of Nov. 5. No, it's not all we have to talk about. It does have us wondering a few things: How is everyone? Did your workplace handle it well? If you profess to invite everyone to bring their whole selves to work, how did that go this week? How does something like a major political event spill over into the workplace from an engagement, policy, sentiment, productivity perspective? Together, Jess and Sarah discuss personal stories, the significance of honoring veterans, and the emotional check-in process. The dialogue transitions into the growth of HiBob and its commitment to modern HR practices, followed by a deep dive into identity, the concept of 'chosen self' versus masking, and the challenges of bringing one's whole self to work. The conversation culminates in philosophical reflections on authenticity and the systems that shape workplace culture.
