Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is uber in the din with dangerous deed well
coming up this Thursday, Human Resource Professionals Day, which probably
didn't know about unless you're in HR or even then.
There's a new survey out about corporate America's top frustrations.
Basically a lot of grievances. The biggest ones include dissatisfaction
with salary at twenty nine percent of people frustrated about that,

(00:22):
followed by lack of appreciation at twenty six percent, poor
life balance at twenty five percent, lack of career advance
opportunities at twenty four percent, and dissatisfaction with benefits at
twenty three percent. Other ones making the list things that
are frustrating us about corporate America include lack of support
from leaders, low morale, dissatisfaction would paid time off, lack

(00:42):
of support for managers, unrealistic expectations from clients and customers,
staying profitable in a competitive industry, lack of transparency from leadership,
lack of connection with the workplace, failing to evolve the
workplace and adopting new ideas and systems, and poor value
and culture. Most common issues brought to HR poor communications,
failure to follow the rules, toxic negativity and gossip. Just

(01:05):
nine percent of HR professionals say they managed to complete
their to do lists every day, but artificial intelligence may
be coming to the rescue. Eighty one percent of people
in HR who use AI said it has had a
positive effect on their workloads and interpersonal connections. Usually when
it's HR talked about around here, I can't even say

(01:26):
deeper in the well, you know to do list can
really help you stay on task get more done. But
is it possible you're already getting too much done. If
you're feeling overwhelmed, think about making a to don't list instead.
To don't lists are for the non essential things that
do suck up our time or things that we certainly
have a way that might not be so hard if
we changed or did not do them. To don't list

(01:48):
might include stuff like don't over commit on social engagements,
don't offer favors for everyone, don't schedule meetings before eleven am,
don't skip lunch, to just keep working. The idea is
to be mindful about stuff, and it's eating up your
time and making your day less enjoyable. Unlike to do lists,
you don't need to make one every single day, just
once and check in on it to remind yourself of

(02:09):
all of the stuff that you don't want to do,
to see if there's anything else that you can add
to the list as well. Hmm, can I put work
on the to don't list? Tune it again for another
episode of Deeper in the Den with Dangerous Dave right here.
