HRDQ-U In Review

Episode 50: The Voice of Accountability: How to Foster Accountability in Your Organization

In this week’s episode of the HRDQ-U In Review Podcast we are joined by accountability expert Linda Galindo to discuss insights from the recent webinar, The Voice of Accountability: How to Foster Accountability in Your Organization. We dive into practical strategies for building a culture of accountability, even in challenging environments. Linda shares the key takeaways from the webinar, including how to motivate those who struggle with accountability, why tools and worksheets are essential, and the surprising reasons accountability isn’t more widely embraced, despite its clear benefits of reduced stress, increased productivity, and higher job satisfaction.
Linda also addresses common challenges listeners may face, such as navigating accountability when leadership or culture doesn’t fully support it, and offers guidance on finding your role in fostering accountability.

Episode 48: Do You Have a Hybrid Work Strategy or a Hostage Negotiation?

As the world of work continues to evolve, many organizations are grappling with the challenge of managing hybrid teams. In this episode, we sit down with Wayne Turmel to explore the complex landscape of hybrid work strategies. Wayne, the presenter of the webinar Do You Have a Hybrid Work Strategy or a Hostage Negotiation?, shares his unique perspective on why hybrid work can feel like a delicate balance between flexibility and control—and how organizations can navigate it successfully.
Wayne takes us through his journey into hybrid work strategies and reflects on how his views have evolved as more companies adopt this model. We delve into what he means by comparing hybrid work to a “hostage negotiation” and discuss the critical mistakes many organizations make when rolling out hybrid work arrangements. From issues of flexibility to maintaining productivity, Wayne provides actionable advice on how companies can strike the right balance to keep both employees and the organization happy and efficient.
In this insightful conversation, Wayne outlines the key elements of a successful hybrid work strategy and emphasizes the role of effective communication in fostering a collaborative and engaged team, even when working remotely. Managers struggling with team engagement or collaboration in a hybrid setup will find valuable tips and strategies for overcoming common challenges.
If you’re leading a hybrid team or considering implementing a hybrid work model in your organization, this episode is full of practical guidance and expert insights. Tune in to learn more about how you can create a hybrid work environment that benefits both employees and employers while avoiding the common pitfalls that derail many strategies.
