Throwing Away "HR Best Practice" with Bonnie Powell, VP of People at Bench The CultureING Podcast

    • Business

Today's episode was actually recorded before the Covid-19 pandemic with Bench's VP of People, Bonnie Powell, who I admire so very much. While some of the information shared might be a bit "out of date," the golden wisdom contained is truly timeless, and most certainly still music to my ears as I believe it is breakthrough thinking for the HR & company culture space.

Today you'll learn:


What I love, and is a now bit surreal, was that we actually discussed remote working and creating flexibility for employees before it was forced on us. That is true pioneering folks!

How approaching layoffs can be done in a human way.

What it looks like to throw HR "Best Practice" out the window, and begin to make decisions about people that actually work and make sense for you, your team members, and your company


This episode is brought to you by Peninsula, which offers 24/7 HR, health & safety, and employment support to Canada’s small and medium businesses. For the white-glove treatment and an initial consultation just for CultureING Podcast listeners, head to this link and enter the code "CULTURE"
