Workplace Woes

07/15/2024

Good morning, Woes!

I hope everyone has been well. My little one had a stomach bug last week, so he couldn’t attend daycare for a single day. I finally dropped him off today at 7:30 am, but now I’m feeling queasy again. From what I understand, my son’s daycare has been dealing with children having stomach bugs and strep throat. I’m very grateful that my son’s daycare has a partnership with a children’s medical center, so he was able to be seen immediately. It’s the little things like this that make a daycare stand out.

I will begin posting routinely once I can get the bug out of my house. It came in like a thief in the night, so please remember to wash your hands before eating anything and immediately upon entering your house to keep outside germs from invading your personal space.

I hope everyone has a powerful week and stays well!

Sincerely ,

Happy 4th of July!

If you have today off, please enjoy! Taking time to relax and unwind is essential for maintaining our mental and physical health. It allows us to recharge, reflect, and return to our daily routines with renewed energy and focus.

Enjoy your day, and take this opportunity to celebrate and relax with family and friends.

Good morning, Woes!

I hope everyone is having a good morning. I know many of you are traveling and preparing for the holiday, so if that’s you, please be careful. In consideration of the holiday, we will air our next interview on Saturday morning!

I hope everyone enjoys their holiday break or holiday pay.

Try to keep a smile on your face today no matter what because what’s the use of frowning?

Have a powerful day!

Good morning, Woes!

I hope you all made it through Monday. There’s been so much going on in the community that yesterday I put the world aside to just soak up the sunshine from my children.

How do you woosah after a long day? ❤️

If you haven’t had the chance, go check out Butter Cafe for Sunday brunch. I love that the cafe offers organic and vegan food options, and I believe all the smoothies on their menu are vegan.

Not only are they serving up great food and customer service, but they’re also making amazing smoothies.

Kudos to the leadership staff at Butter Cafe. I thoroughly enjoyed both smoothies I received after the interview. 💐💐💐

Tomorrow, I’ll be interviewing the amazing sisters from Butter Cafe in Dayton as part of our series on great leaders in our community.

They have some awesome leadership tips that can really enhance the workplace environment. I look forward to hearing what they have to say about how they keep their team happy.

That’s the big issue—so many people go to work and are unhappy. So, why not find those employees and leaders who have figured out how to make work enjoyable? Yes, work is work, but it can be a place of fulfillment and not dread.

Please be sure to look out for the interview that will post Sunday at 9am.

Thank you again to those who follow our page! ❤️

Good afternoon, Woes!

I hope everyone is having a good day! Generally, we focus on the woes of the workplace, but today I would like to take a moment to focus on what makes the workplace a better place to work. From my interviews, it’s the leaders who see you struggling at work and offer you an extra break, notice you’re not feeling well and suggest you take an early day, or give you a pep talk when you need it.

We’ve heard of a leader doing just that at the Kroger on Stroop Rd. I had the luxury of shopping at that Kroger last week, and every station I visited, from deli to bakery, the employees were extremely nice, and I mean extremely nice.

Lynn, one of the greeters, said she knows why I had such a great experience. She said it’s because of her boss. He cares, he walks around and engages with all of us, and you see him being a great example on the floor, so you just know to follow suit.

Real leaders inspire.

If you’re a leader, how do you inspire your team?

Shout out to the store manager at Kroger on 530 E Stroop Rd, Kettering Ohio. 💐

I found this video insightful.

Do you feel overlooked or disconnected from peers and leadership while working from home?

Shout out to those who recently started to follow the Workplace Woes podcast! We greatly appreciate your support!

If you’re wondering what WOES means:
Weary
Overworked
Employees
Seeking Solutions

We’re a podcast that aims to use our platform to have solution-based conversations regarding the woes of the workplace. We have interviewed many people who literally dread going to work, but do they feel comfortable providing feedback to their leadership? In most cases, no.

We hope our platform can help share the views of our woes and highlight the leaders in our community who have mastered keeping morale high and turnover low.

We have other initiatives we’re working on to support our Woes, but in the meantime, let’s have some powerful discussions to improve the workplace for all.

Thank you for your support!
