Better Decisions: It Turns Out, Ignoring Women's Health at Work is Extremely Expensive For Everybody (with Kembre Roberts and Kevin Fyock)
I Hate It HereShow Notes
Women make up nearly half the workforce, and somehow, their health is still being treated like a line item someone might cut. Make it make sense!
I've been wanting to do this episode for a while, and I'm not going to pretend I made it through without getting in my feelings at least once.
I sat down with Kembre Roberts and Kevin Fyock from Aon to get into why women's health keeps getting deprioritized, what it's costing orgs as a result, and what it looks like when employers finally get this right.
Just having a fertility benefit and calling it a day isn’t gonna cut it anymore!

I invited RyanMae McAvoy Pepin and Josiah Hernández back to talk HR, and somehow we ended up recruiting for a hypothetical cult and debating whether Michael Scott deserves a little credit.
We’re back in action, and I gave this season one rule: anything but AI.
I started this solo episode planning to talk about the evolution of HR, and ended up using one of my fav shows, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, to explain why this job can be emotionally unhinged, and suspiciously dependent on one exhausted woman saving everybody.
HR keeps getting handed the mop after someone else’s AI strategy floods the building, and frankly, I’m pretty sure you’re already over it!
AI is already crashing the workplace party, but apparently, the humans were left off the guest list!
