Ep. 23: Faculty and Talent Experience
Épisode 23
lundi 13 mai 2024 • Durée 42:12
Television shows and movies have a tendency to make faculty life look glamorous. Ask any faculty member, however, and they will fill you in on the challenges of juggling teaching, research, publishing, grant writing, pursuing tenure, etc. Let’s not even talk about those who become department chairs with no people management experience or training. Many feel valued as some of the most important fixtures in higher education but others don’t feel quite so supported. Former tenured professor and current academic leadership coach Jennifer Askey joined “I Wanna Work There!” to fill us in on the life of faculty.
What can you take away from episode 23?

Ep. 22: Neurodivergence and the Talent Experience
Épisode 22
lundi 29 avril 2024 • Durée 34:26
It can be a lonely world in the workplace for those who have invisible or hidden disabilities, that is conditions that are mostly neurological in nature such as: ADHD, autism, epilepsy, anxiety disorders, mental illnesses, fibromyalgia, migraines, diabetes, sleep disorders, asthma, allergies, Asperger Syndrome, Crohn’s Disease, other forms of chronic pain, etc. The Fast Company commentary “Why employers need to change how they onboard neurodivergent workers” introduces us to an autistic college professor whose introduction to her then-new employer left much to be desired because a condition such as hers was not taken into consideration when planning an off-campus orientation. That professor, Ludmila Praslova, visited “I Wanna Work There!” to discuss her experiences and the world that she would like to see for neurodivergent employees.
Here are your takeaways for episode 22:

You will learn how to engage with neurodivergent colleagues.

lundi 18 mars 2024 • Durée 38:32
Today’s college or university president is expected to be highly influential and effective in their leadership.

Épisode 18
lundi 4 mars 2024 • Durée 36:36
It has become a theme on “I Wanna Work There!”–higher education is a people business, especially when it comes to faculty and staff. So, what happens when faculty and staff are forced to conform to an institution’s processes and culture? While it seems normal, Erik Rueter sees this as forcing employees to “use a hammer to try to screw something into a wall.” That is why Erik champions human-centered design. Don’t be fooled by what may seem like feel-good language. Erik explains how human-centered design boosts institutional efficiencies, processes and profitability in addition to faculty and staff’s talent experience.
To help your institution with its talent experience efforts, here are this episode’s three takeaways:
Understanding of what human-centered design is,
How human-centered design can be applied to the complex campus environment, and
