What is a Grievance? with Host Susan Ney | HR49

Retirement is a topic becoming of significantly more importance and interest to individuals of my generation.  It is also something that those just wishing for those “golden years” should start giving thought to.  Although it might not feel so at the time, the years pass quickly.  And more importantly, once you are finally there, thanks in large part to our better health care, there are also many years ahead of us.  For those of you who have been going at warp speed for decades, the sudden stop can feel like heading into a collision with a brick wall.  It doesn’t need to be that way, with a little planning.We are all different and will yearn for different things in our next chapter.  Hope you will join me to learn more!

Transitioning to Retirement with Host Susan Ney | HR48

I met Brian when he was working as the Business Manager for the West Vancouver Municipal Employees Union.  I was working as the Director of Human Resources and Payroll Services with the District of West Vancouver.  We both eventually moved on from those positions. Brian, to work with the BCGEU – the BC Government and Services Employees Union - as, amongst other responsibilities, their pension expert.  Brian recently retired from, what ended up being over ten years with the BCGEU, building expertise on the public sector pension plans in BC.  He sat on pension boards, assisted with a myriad of questions and is probably one of the most knowledgeable individuals around when it comes to this stuff.  Brian joins us on today’s podcast to share some of this knowledge and to address questions that we have both been asked in our respective positions over the years. And, he asked me to stress this is a general overview as plans and their specific details and information including design details will vary and the pension plans themselves should be relied upon for the specifics. The websites for the specific pension plans have been included below. *EDIT NOTE: The new flat accrual rate on the MPP. is not 1.85% (which was the PSPP number before moving to 1.95% Jan 1 this year). The MPP rate as of Jan 1, 2021 is a flat rate of 1.90%.About the Guest – Brian SchrammBrian worked as union business agent, first with the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees’ Union before moving on to represent employees in the local government and K-12 sectors as Business Manager with the West Vancouver Municipal Employees’ Association.  Brian left the WVMEA to accept a specialist position with the BC Government and Services Employees Union (BCGEU) as their pensions’ expert.  His career in labour relations and pensions spanned 40 years with those three employers. Now retired, he offers his services speaking and providing support to individuals on BC’s Public Service, College, Municipal, Teachers, and WorkSafe BC pension plans.

Guest Brian Schramm on Understanding BC Public Sector Pension Plans | HR47

Today we are going to talk about intentions, given that it is the beginning of a new year, and a great opportunity to start fresh.  Like the rain gently washing away the snow where I live.  It helped me realize that I don’t like living in a world of black and white.  Colour is important to me.  I have noticed the absence of colour with white blanketing everything.  So, I pep up my day by choosing brighter colours from my wardrobe.  What is important to you?  And how are you able to bring that into your life?  We delve into the question “What do you want”? And what are the baby steps that will help get you there as we set intention for 2022? About the Host: Susan has worked with people all her life. As a human resource professional, she has specialized in all aspects of employment, from hiring to retirement. She got her start as a national representative for a large Canadian union.

Guest Marc S. Miller on Strategic HR  and the Role of HR Technology | HR44

It’s the holiday season, with all its busyness.  We are already stressed out with the uncertainty of the impact of a new covid variant, our work environments still figuring out what a “hybrid” is supposed to look like, the intensity and impact of what are being called “atmospheric rivers” on many of us, especially if you live on the west or east coasts of Canada.  And then you add a holiday season… The “good girl” in me feels obliged to bake, entertain and shop… So, a podcast on some gentle reminders, or perhaps prods, on remembering and finding that delicious, sometimes what feels completely unattainable life balance seemed appropriate.  Wishing each of you peace, good health and the very best always!   Hope you will join me! About the Host: Susan has worked with people all her life.

Guest Barb Ashcroft on Finding (or Rediscovering) Your Life’s Purpose | HR42

I am not going to bore you with all the statistics on the importance of fun and play in our work environments.  I would be just telling you the obvious.  I believe these would help with the engagement (or disengagement) dilemma and create a much-needed spark our organizations desperately need right now. When I reflect over the years and my employment at the various organizations I have worked within, what I’ve cherished most - the memories that bring a lovely feeling of warmth within me - are the moments of fun.  Although I worked hard and it wasn’t always easy, it is the times of play and laughter that I continue to cherish.  Now, given that much of my career involved working in the public sector, expenditure of public funds in play activities was certainly questioned.  Working towards attainment of exotic prizes and retreats at expensive spas were never going to be part of anything that could be considered; activities often available to private sector firms just weren’t doable.  This fueled the creativity button.  Therefore, what could we do to bring fun and play to work without much, if any cost? And, for our listeners working for non-profits, for those of you working for small companies and for you entrepreneurs, hopefully you will gain some ideas that might work for you.  Hope you will join us! About the Host: Susan has worked with people all her life. As a human resource professional, she has specialized in all aspects of employment, from hiring to retirement. She got her start as a national representative for a large Canadian union. After pursuing an undergrad degree in business administration, Susan transitioned to HR management, where she aspired to bring both employee and management perspectives to her work. She holds a Master of Arts degree in Leadership and Training.

I am not going to bore you with all the statistics on the importance of fun and play in our work environments. I would be just telling you the obvious. I believe these would help with the engagement (or disengagement) dilemma and create a much-needed spark our organizations desperately need right now. When I reflect over the years and my employment at the various organizations I have worked within, what I’ve cherished most - the memories that bring a lovely feeling of warmth within me - are the moments of fun. Although I worked hard and it wasn’t always easy, it is the times of play and laughter that I continue to cherish. Now, given that much of my career involved working in the public sector, expenditure of public funds in play activities was certainly questioned. Working towards attainment of exotic prizes and retreats at expensive spas were never going to be part of anything that could be considered; activities often available to private sector firms just weren’t doable. This fueled the creativity button. Therefore, what could we do to bring fun and play to work without much, if any cost? And, for our listeners working for non-profits, for those of you working for small companies and for you entrepreneurs, hopefully you will gain some ideas that might work for you. Hope you will join us! About the Host: Susan has worked with people all her life. As a human resource professional, she has specialized in all aspects of employment, from hiring to retirement. She got her start as a national representative for a large Canadian union. After pursuing an undergrad degree in business administration, Susan transitioned to HR management, where she aspired to bring both employee and management perspectives to her work. She holds a Master of Arts degree in Leadership and Training.

The Importance of Play and Fun at Work with Host Susan Ney | HR41

In the podcast series HR Inside Out - Demystifying HR &amp; People Management Susan and her guests weave a tapestry of information, insights and guidance around HR, people management and the work processes we could all understand and “do” better.  Sharing examples both personally and through interviews of others who have walked the path of daring greatly, she offers insights for those who wish support on their own journey as they become the best version of themselves and within their organizations.

Today we are going to talk about mentoring–both the formal and informal versions–and our experiences with these. Over the years of her career, Carolyn Cooper-McOuatt has been very involved in setting up mentoring programs through her role as trainer, advisor and coordinator at a local college. These have been quite structured. My personal experiences have been with the more laissez-faire ones and those that just simply came about because... well they just seemed meant to. In this era of so much brain drain, engaging that wisdom and experience as one way to pay-it-forward is something that we are certainly encouraging. And the reverse works. I would cherish the opportunity to be mentored in the areas I struggle... technology perhaps... by those the skills come to more naturally–the generations following behind me in our work worlds.  About the Guest – Carolyn Cooper-McOuattCarolyn is the co-founder of the international Grand Connection Networking group, bringing individuals from across the globe together to Connect, Create, and Collaborate.  Carolyn contributes a unique blend of four decades business expertise in business planning, teaching, and advising. She brings practical processes and best business practices along with a contagious optimism. She guides and mentors businesses and mastermind groups with the key elements of the Inspired Business Plan. She is dedicated to lead individuals to represent themselves in exceptional ways by being in service from their core values. She supports them to resource and own their service gifts, talents, skills, and expertise. Each business becomes clear about who they are, what they stand for and how they uniquely contribute. She invites each business to make a bigger difference in their client's lives. They become bolder to step up and take new risks with purpose, passion, and integrity. Her clients dream bigger as they define, design, and declare specific goals, objectives, intentions, and actions in their Inspired Business Plan process. Her company is Inspired Business Development. Carolyn's ideal clients are heart centered, eager entrepreneurs who are hungry to grow their business, ready and willing to surrender to what is and let go to lead in their industry. Owners who are pioneers in their industry and want to go where no one has gone before with integrity, drive and conviction.In each coaching and training session, best practices, processes, and principles are discussed to raise the bar (Live above the Line) from mediocrity to greatness.

Guest Carolyn Cooper-McOuatt  – On Mentoring  | HR40

Melissa is a registered health coach and an integrated health practitioner.  Originally employed as a business executive in the hotel industry, getting let go when big fish bought little fish and then the reality of both daughters suffering concussions from sports injuries caused her to reassess priorities and refocus on a different journey; one that has led her to her current work. As the quote on the banner that sits behind her in her home office reminds us “Health isn’t everything but without it, everything else is nothing.”  Helping others improve their health journeys has become her life’s passion and purpose.  And it shows! Words like new found energy, gut health, and dealing with brain fogginess certainly caught my attention!  A recent winner of the Quality Care Award, Melissa shares her wisdom through her podcast Don’t Wait for Your Wakeup Call!, her YouTube channel Your Guided Health Journey, and the programs she offers. She joins us today to share some of those invaluable health tips; tips meant to help each of us on our own health journeys.   About the Guest – Melissa DeallyMelissa is an Integrative Health Practitioner, Registered Health Coach, Speaker, and host of her podcast Don’t Wait for Your Wake Up Call and her YouTube channel Your Guided Health Journey.  Melissa works with her clients to better understand what might be creating health challenges. She helps get to the cause of the health issue and then creates a personalized program - a guided journey back to a vibrant, thriving, perfectly balanced state of wellbeing, mind, body, and soul – an attainable goal well worth every effort to achieve.  As Melissa notes, this elemental wellbeing is our birthright, deeply foundational to everything we could ever want in life, the solution to most if not all of the problems we are experiencing on every level. She asks, “Do you keep getting told nothing is wrong with you or that they don't know what is wrong with you?” or are you “Tired of the only option being offered is a drug that you have to take for the rest of your life?”.  She shares “Well that was me….my migraines had become so frequent, and all my doctor offered was more drugs. I wanted to know WHY my migraines were suddenly more frequent. When I turned to holistic health, I was able to do a lab test that showed my hormones out of balance. When I fixed that, my migraines went away.” And, “When my 6-year-old daughter got tummy aches every day, I was told ‘all little girls get tummy aches, she’ll grow out of it’ except there was no answer as to how long that would take. Again, I turned to functional medicine labs, and learned she was intolerant to gluten and dairy, so we removed those and voila! The tummy aches were gone!”Melissa’s experiences taught her that there are often answers that traditionalmedicine doesn’t provide. There are other solutions, and now, as an integrativehealth practitioner, she helps many people who are struggling and looking foranother way.Some of the common challenges she can help with are:➤ Getting to the root cause of your health issues➤ Removing toxicities➤ Boosting deficiencies to help your body come back into balance so that it canheal itself, and give you newfound energy, and a renewed joy of life.She uses functional medicine labs that get mailed to your home and help"see" what is going on inside your body and then provides a personalwellness protocol to guide your healing journey.We haven't been taught the importance of managing stress, optimizing sleep, orwhat we put in our mouths.AND - we have a food industry that doesn’t care about our health and a healthindustry that doesn’t care about our food. This has resulted in all the chronicillness people are struggling with today that often leave them "lessthan".Could this be you?✓Exhausted with no energy for your kids at the end of the day✓Brain fog and memory issues that slow your productivity✓Taking drugs that cause other symptoms, and often weight gain✓Suffering mood swings that steal your joy in lifeIf any of these things resonate with you – or you have unanswered healthstruggles, message Melissa to book a COMPLIMENTARY 30 minute session.

Guest Melissa Deally – Your Health is Important – Don’t Wait for Your Wakeup Call! | HR39

Charlene Wright

Charlene Wright.  A chalk board artist.  A painter.  A professional clown. A facilitator, coach, and trainer.  She is an individual who calls herself a creativepreneur.  She helps others honour all of who they are – especially and including their creative side, as they transition – from job loss, from employment to entrepreneurship, from shifting into retirement, from change.  In my conversation with Charlene, she noted that people only really get ready for a career transition when they have to and thus find the process something that really shakes them to their core.  And that we need to get better at self-managing our careers.  Charlene founded SmART Career Solutions (SCS) to recognize and celebrate that a significant number of professionals don’t fit into a traditional service model and that NOT ALL PROFESSIONALS wear a suit or would consider themselves an “average” job seeker.  She asks “Are you an out-of-work creative professional that wants a new JOB or wants to build a creative business or both?  Do you leverage your creative and artistic skills to your advantage?  Are you missing out on better opportunities?  Have you married the elements of ‘being creative’, finding meaningful work and generating money?”  She offers Job Search Online courses and career coaching if you are ready to leverage your superpower … or at least be willing to be held accountable! And all her work is aligned with her belief that Creatives bring valuable contributions to the workplace and the world. Hope you will join us!About the Guest – Charlene WrightCharlene brings to her business, Smart Career Solutions Career Coaching for Creatives, her own career experience working as a facilitator, artist, and manager, and her professional training as a career development practitioner. With over ten years’ experience working in BC Employment Service Centers and a Certified Career Development Practitioner Designation, she enjoys helping with your job search solutions.You can reach Charlene at any of the following:Phone: 	(604) 418-5887Email: 		cwright.getalifecoach@gmail.comWebsite:	https://www.smartcareersolutions.comChar @ Smart Career Solutions | LinktreeLinked In: 	linkedin.com/in/charlenewright1Instagram: 	https://www.instagram.com/smartcareersolutionsbycharlene/About the Host: Susan has worked with people all her life.

Charlene Wright. A chalk board artist. A painter. A professional clown. A facilitator, coach, and trainer. She is an individual who calls herself a creativepreneur. She helps others honour all of who they are – especially and including their creative side, as they transition – from job loss, from employment to entrepreneurship, from shifting into retirement, from change. In my conversation with Charlene, she noted that people only really get ready for a career transition when they have to and thus find the process something that really shakes them to their core. And that we need to get better at self-managing our careers. Charlene founded SmART Career Solutions (SCS) to recognize and celebrate that a significant number of professionals don’t fit into a traditional service model and that NOT ALL PROFESSIONALS wear a suit or would consider themselves an “average” job seeker. She asks “Are you an out-of-work creative professional that wants a new JOB or wants to build a creative business or both? Do you leverage your creative and artistic skills to your advantage? Are you missing out on better opportunities? Have you married the elements of ‘being creative’, finding meaningful work and generating money?” She offers Job Search Online courses and career coaching if you are ready to leverage your superpower … or at least be willing to be held accountable! And all her work is aligned with her belief that Creatives bring valuable contributions to the workplace and the world. Hope you will join us!About the Guest – Charlene WrightCharlene brings to her business, Smart Career Solutions Career Coaching for Creatives, her own career experience working as a facilitator, artist, and manager, and her professional training as a career development practitioner. With over ten years’ experience working in BC Employment Service Centers and a Certified Career Development Practitioner Designation, she enjoys helping with your job search solutions.

Guest Charlene Wright on Career Transition, Especially for Creatives | HR38

Negative self-talk.  I suspect you are like me, especially when it comes to how we feel we are being perceived by our worlds.  We all pick up on body language, changes in vocal tone, and other indicators that an individual’s words, as one example, may not be an accurate reflection of what they are truly feeling.  And… yes, this provides a wonderful playground for those negative voices inside of us.  Today we are going to talk about that negative chatter inside our heads.  Some call it our gremlins.  It’s the stuff that holds us back, erodes our self-confidence and creates havoc in our ability to present as our very best.  And I have not yet met anyone who doesn’t struggle with it.  In the podcast we explore identification of those gremlins and tools to use to enable a refocus when they are having their fun with us.  Hope you will join me!

Grappling with Our Gremlins – Those Negative Inner Voices   with host Susan Ney | HR37

Julia grew tired of being an Administrative Assistant.  She also hated her fingernail-biting habit.  Hypnotherapy answered both of her quandaries when she decided to pursue certification with the National Guild of Hypnotherapists. That was more than a decade ago.  Now a seasoned hypnotist and a Reiki Master, she helps people kick their habits, heal from past traumas, and begin loving the life of their dreams.  Join us as Julia tells us about this career choice and answers all those questions you might have about hypnosis – how it works, whether it “sticks” – and for those of you worried that you might start to cluck like a chicken, she will answer the “entertainment” hypnosis questions too! About the Guest – Julia WoosterJulia is a certified hypnotist with the NGH, the National Guild of Hypnotherapists.  She has been in business for over a decade.  Although her office is in London, Ontario, she also offers sessions on-line.  Her philosophy as noted on her website “Change your world from the inside out” and “The only thing stopping you from living the life of your dreams is you” is very much part of who she is as a practitioner, and what she expects from those she works with.  You have to truly want to heal.  Julia is also a Reiki Master.

Guest Heather Abbott on Financial Clarity for Prosperity | HR35

As I record this podcast it’s October and the time of celebrating Thanksgiving in Canada, so it feels appropriate to talk about being grateful – of expressing gratitude.  Immediately all those individuals volunteering their time, doing nice things to make other’s lives easier… you know the ones, come to mind.  So, this week’s podcast is all about gratitude and leadership.  And a thank you to Stuart McNish for providing me with a copy of Pablo Casals’ A Salute to Life, a lovely reminder of all that is truly important; words that I share with you in our time together.

Gratitude and Leadership with Host Susan Ney  | HR34

Meet Monique Liddle.  She is the Manager of Operations at the City of North Vancouver Library.

Our libraries are so much more than a repository of books and information.  Monique was able to use the skills and expertise she had built over the years to secure a similar and yet very different type of position within her local library. That was many years ago now.

About the Guest – Monique Liddle Monique graduated from the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) with certification in Interior Design Management. As it was difficult to find employment in that discipline right out of school, she continued working in the food service industry, starting as an Assistant Front-End Supervisor with Extra Foods, then becoming the Front-End Assistant Manager with Thrifty Foods.  When a Customer Service Supervisor position came available at her local library, she jumped at the opportunity to apply her skills differently. It was a good move for her.  In the ensuing years she has been promoted to Head of Branch Operations and Customer Service and then to the Manager of Operations.  She is now responsible for a large scope of responsibilities that include effective customer service delivery across all departments, promotion and retailing, facility oversight, employee engagement, circulation, cash handling, and implementing new systems for retail and circulation.  It is easy to see why her previous customer service and people-oversight expertise was recognized when Monique made the decision to apply to the library.  It has and continues to be a great career for her.  She loves her work, and it shows!

Guest Stuart McNish - A Career in Broadcasting and Conversations That Matter  | HR32

Lululemon stocks went up 13% in one day – apparently we are enjoying hanging out in our comfy clothes and plan to continue doing more of that.  News broadcasts indicate that 50% of our workforce are considering quitting.  McKinsey and Company and Harvard Business Review articles are noting that people are choosing to not return to work, even without the safety net of alternate employment.  We are reassessing our priorities.  We are yearning to be appreciated and recognized, to be considered and treated like more than a transaction.  Companies that understand this are doing what needs to happen to change.  Others are not willing to shift.  Yet, resignation is not truly an option for many of us.  In today’s podcast we talk about what what we can do to help create the changes we wish to see in our own lives - as individuals, within our teams and within our organizations.
