You Can't Laugh At Work 9 Ft. Lynda Murdock Of PBS West

You Can't Laugh At That

Today’s guest is Lynda Murdock, executive director of HR (and fun!) for Professional Billing Services West, a radiology billing company that has leaned into the human side of building a vibrant workplace culture.

Lynda is not your typical HR professional, as she has leaned into the fact that she doesn't take herself too seriously, which has transformed the HR function at PBS West into one that cultivates happiness, creativity, and connection between employees. From her off-the-wall "FriYAY" updates, to outside-of-the-box virtual contests, to kickass potlucks, Lynda has truly contributed to a culture that proves you CAN laugh at work.

In this episode, we talk about:

-The culture of adulting Lynda has created and what it means.

-Getting her coworkers to reframe HR to “happy resources” by filling the role of spreading positivity.

-Inspiring employees to be comfortable sharing their ideas by cultivating relationships starting from the interview.

-Translating this culture and relationship cultivation to a virtual stage upon the onset of COVID.

-Lynda’s ideas for Friyay updates to keep people engaged virtually.

-Keeping the culture fun in a virtual setting.

-A renewed focus on mental health.

-To keep the camera on or off?

-The opportunities created by transitioning to a remote work environment.

And more!!!
