Season 2: Episode 13

Sabrina Osso, Founder and CEO of OSSO SAFE, joins us on the podcast this week to discuss the inseparable connections between workplace violence and home violence. Following the recent violent workplace events in both Georgia and Colorado, this is a lesson we all need right now. “If we want to make public spaces safe, including the workplace… we must make home safe first.” 

Our workplaces can harbor both victims and abusers, so as workplace leaders, how can we do the all-important job of truly supporting our employees? Though our culture may encourage us to turn a blind eye to uncomfortable situations, Osso explains why that’s just not an option and how we can move forward in addressing those concerns. Listen now to learn more.

As the shift to remote work became the only option in 2020, we realized that we don’t have a great understanding of remote work. Our attempts to adapt to these new working conditions have caused paranoid leadership and management tendencies to surface. Many employees are now working in environments where their sense of autonomy has been stripped and fear is the primary motivator for performance. We cannot underestimate these dire circumstances that are completely changing our workforce landscape. In this episode, Dr. Benjamin Ritter discusses the pressing need to embrace self-leadership in order to navigate these times of change.

Culture development has somehow become associated with a surface level checklist of vision, mission and values – but having the text does not instantaneously translate it into our culture. In this conversation, Brett and Samm explore how we should evolve our strategic planning process regarding culture considering how our fundamental workplace norms are being questioned.
