Your Workplace was born as my way of making a difference; to provide solutions to some of work’s
most difficult situations. I was fortunate to have had so many positive work experiences before my accident.
After two years on disability, I was willing to do anything to have purpose again.
I felt demoralized as I moved from senior executive to entry-level retail: What a difference!
But I embraced the opportunity as it was better than staring at ceilings nursing a back and neck injury. My
learning curve was steep and my appreciation for unions in this toxic workplace soared. But I wanted more – I
wanted to help people prosper.
A change in companies and a shift to human resources seemed like a logical move. However, it
was not long after settling myself into the position that I discovered that the happy, smiling, rosy faces
presented during the interview process were a façade for the darkness within. And the organization was dark.
I was unwilling to forfeit my values and my integrity to perform the tasks asked of me. My superiors crossed
the line with a request that I still believe was inhumane. I refused and was terminated.
And so, Your Workplace magazine was born. Out of integrity and uncompromising
values.
Your Workplace is here to help you find ways to improve your health and the health of your organization,
which will ultimately lead to increased productivity and well-being. Your Workplace is here for you
to share your ideas of what works. Your Workplace is also here because we understand that work-life
can be tough. Maybe you can share your stories with us so you don’t have to take them home with you at night.
We are here for you. We understand. And we support you.
