Ep 33: Get Your LifeBack: How to Honor the Human Being Behind the Employee - The Work
Manage episode 377864191 series 2920115
We Love Science Podcast kicks off season 3 with Dr. Cari Skrdla, a passionate neuroscientist and accomplished businesswoman. As the founder and CEO of LifeBack Consulting, Cari uses her research findings to guide employers in bringing the human experience to the forefront in the workplace.
Through the evolution of the hiring process from paper applications, to background checks, to personality tests, Cari says that employers are still missing so much. Employee turnover is rampant--new hires quickly became unhappy at the workplace and leave. This highlights the importance of considering the human aspect in employee recruitment and retention, and her research gives some insight into this.
Spanning generations, Cari’s research explores the environmental influences, cultural shifts, and significant events that contribute to the shaping of a human being. These explain the behavioral patterns and hardwiring of a generation of individuals. As every generation is shaped specifically by the current state of the world they are born into, each is inherently different from the other generations. How then do we all relate to one another and understand each other in the workplace?
Her innovative approach offers a fresh perspective on supporting employees through her one-of a-kind Mindset Quotient Test, emphasizing the significance of mental and emotional well-being. We are all trying to live a happy, fulfilling life both personally and professionally. The key, she says, is understanding oneself and one's influences. However, this research often does not reach the public in an impactful way.
