The Well Woman Show

On the Well Woman Show today, I interview Dr. Kaumudi (kah-moody) Misra, Professor at California State University East Bay’s College of Business and Economics. We talk about the role of strategic human resource management practices for employee and organizational productivity and work-life flexibility practices as a strategic HR tool.

On the show we’ll discuss:

• The key factor missing for workplace flexibility policies to work for women
• Dr. Misra’s focus on equity in HR
• The future of flexibility at work
• and How core values and contextual factors impact workplace flexibility.
