Your Environment Matters, Not Just at Home But at Work!

Something that we often that we forget is that people do better, even thrive, in environments that they feel comfortable and welcome in. Jennifer Rundell reminded me of this, she taught me a couple of tricks for my own space and has great advice on how you can make employees more productive with a couple of simple changes. We all know that sitting all day is not good for you and sitting under bad lighting is even worse, but there is so much more that goes into creating a healthy environment. It is not enough just to eliminate the bad things we also have to focus on offering the healthy. Join me and Jennifer for a great conversation about how a couple of simple things can make all the difference.

HR professionals, business owners and operations at all levels are struggling to figure out what needs to change. Our system has been shocked practices have been questioned, and conversations are finally happening. We all know there has been a huge shift in what people want. inclusion and diversity are common phrases. But often misunderstood generations are coming together more than ever on what's important. Mental health has been brought to the forefront of everyone's mind. Let's humanize these conversations. Let's talk about what's important for employees to be successful in life and at their job and how companies can create an environment to allow them to do both because successful people will make up a successful workforce. I'm Leighann lovely. Let's get this conversation started.  Today I am joined by an amazing woman who has helped educate me on the importance of the environment we work, play and live in Jennifer Rudell of Rundell Redesign. She has always had a passion for design. From the time she was little she was rearranging spaces in order to create a more harmonious feel. While her friends were playing dress up with their Barbies, she was busy setting up the furniture and accessories in Barbies home so she would be ready to entertain when Ken and all of his friends stopped by for a visit. Fast forward a few years. After countless hours, helping friends family members and coworkers redesign their homes, businesses and special events. It was time to open up Rundell Redesign. Owning her own business has not only given her the freedom to help her clients reimagine their best lives by redesigning their work life and play. It has also allowed her to create spaces where her clients can give their clients a memorable experience from the moment they walk through the door when she is not rearranging furniture or checking out the latest deals and steals in the Milwaukee's fabulous resale shops. You can find her soaking up some fresh air and sunshine on or near the water sharing a few laughs until you cry moments with her family or singing loudly in the car along with her favorite radio station. Jennifer, welcome to the show. I'm excited to have you.

So from all of the guests that I've had, you actually run a very unique, a unique business. But in talking with you, you kind of educated me as to why this conversation is very important. So why don't you start off by telling us what you do and a little bit about yourself?

Okay, oh my gosh, boy, that's an open ended question. So my goal is I help people reimagine their best lives by redesigning where they work, live and play. So what in the world? Does that mean? People often ask me, okay, that's fine
