Workplace Fairness and Dignity
ABOUT THIS PODCAST: I created my podcast Workplace Fairness and Dignity as a platform to highlight organizations that value their employees and commit to treating them with respect, dignity, and that value inclusiveness and diversity of thought and backgrounds. There is a need to normalize the idea of a workplace that provides respect and dignity to every employee. I maintain a blog also on this topic: https://workplacefairnessanddignity.blogspot.com/. Do stop by. ABOUT ME: I have a B.A. in English from the University of Massachusetts, an M.S. from Suffolk University in Adult & Organizational Learning, and an M.A. in Journalism from Northeastern University. For close to a decade I worked in Human Resources as a staffing recruiter. You can learn more about my own personal story on the first podcast, "From Fired To Fired Up".
