HR Stories Podcast - A Lesson in Every Story! - Détails, épisodes et analyse

Welcome to the HR Stories Podcast — making work better one story at a time. 

Every workplace has stories. Some are about organizations that got it wrong. Others are about leaders who got it right. And sometimes, the most important lessons come from the everyday decisions that shape how people experience work.

Your storytellers, John Thalheimer MS and Chuck Simikian SPHR, SHRM-SCP, use real workplace stories as the teaching tool.

LISTEN to what happened.
LEARN from the decisions, successes, mistakes, and warning signs.
ACT on practical ideas that can make your workplace better.

Each episode starts with a story — a court case, a leadership challenge, an HR misstep, an employee experience, or an organization trying something different. John and Chuck then break down what happened, why it matters, and most importantly, what we can learn from it.

Sometimes that means understanding an employment law or avoiding an expensive mistake. Sometimes it means becoming a better leader, building trust, improving communication, or creating a workplace where people can do their best work.

That balance is what HR Stories is all about: practical HR, thoughtful leadership, and real-world lessons you can use.

John and Chuck have spent their careers helping HR professionals, business owners, and leaders navigate the people side of business through consulting, training, coaching, and thousands of live learning experiences.

Their goal with HR Stories is simple:

Tell good stories. Find the lesson. Make work better.
