"Bringing the Human back to Human Resources" is a podcast hosted by Traci (Rubin) Chernoff, a Director of Employee Engagement, who has spent nearly 10 years in critical HR leadership roles. Traci explores the delicate balance between people and business and destigmatizes what it means to be in "Human Resources". Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hrtraci/support
This week, Traci welcomes Kelly McGinnis, certified Gottman educator, emotion coach, and CEO of Incredible Family—an organization committed to unleashing potential in working parents through developing strengths.
With over 20 years of experience educating and empowering families, Kelly shares her own journey through the abrupt transition to motherhood with three daughters and how it ignited her passion for helping working parents thrive without choosing between career and family.
Spoiler alert: The odds are stacked against working parents—but there's a science-backed way to flip the script.
Kelly reveals why our brains are hardwired for negativity, the shocking happiness curve research that shows when life satisfaction hits rock bottom, and the one simple strategy organizations can implement that creates ripple effects across engagement, productivity, and retention.
Plus, she shares a powerful story about how unlocking one mom's hidden strength not only kept a valuable employee from leaving but sparked an entirely new mentorship program.

Plus, he shares his vision for transforming HR from "Human Resources" to "Human Success."

In this month's Policy Pulse episode, Traci and Bryan explore the increasingly complex landscape of HR compliance across U.S. states and cities. With federal deregulation on one side and stricter state-level laws on the other, HR professionals are feeling the squeeze.
They discuss how employers can stay compliant with an evolving "patchwork" of laws—from pay transparency and AI in hiring to hyperlocal handbook requirements.
Plus, they tackle the ever-relevant topic of free speech in the workplace: what you can say, what you should say, and what might get you fired.
This episode is essential listening for any HR leader navigating multi-state operations, remote workforces, and the realities of a lean HR team.

In this episode, we dive into a game-changing development in college sports.
A recent ruling has opened the door to the possibility that some NCAA college athletes could be classified as employees under federal wage and hour laws. Exciting, right? But it's not as simple as it sounds. The ruling highlights the need for a clear test to determine when an athlete's passion for sports transforms into actual work in the eyes of the law.
This could shake things up in a big way, folks! We're talking potential major shifts in how college athletes are paid and managed. It might even turn the traditional concept of amateurism in college sports on its head. Join us as we unpack what this means for the future of college athletics!

In this episode, Traci discusses recent layoffs in HR and the perspective of HR thought leaders on the role of AI in these layoffs. Traci challenges the idea that layoffs are a result of companies investing in AI to drive growth, arguing that it absolves companies of responsibility and creates a competition between humans and AI, which isn’t reasonable.

Julie Hamilton has over 20 years of Human Resource Management experience and has been a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach for over 7 years. She was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2009.
As a Human Resources Director, she knew the resources to use such as Family Medical Leave Act and workplace accommodations to help her with the tasks she was struggling with. She didn’t need to worry about her job when she needed to take time off for flare days or medical appointments. She went from missing two to four days per month to missing two days or less a year.
Then after relocating to Ohio, her chronic illness made it impossible for her to work. That is when she studied to become a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach and learned to manage her fibromyalgia. She has gone from being in bed 90% of her life to walking three miles a day and even participated in her first 10k. She now helps professionals who have fibromyalgia maintain their career and regain their active social life.
Her goal is to help companies create an inclusive environment for the chronically ill and assisting them in implementing policies to benefit both the employee and the company. She understands what it takes to make it work and can educate the company and the employee on how this collaboration can work.

Working for brands like Fila, Champion, and Converse brought about Aja’s passion for designing activewear, yet opened her mind to the negative impact fast fashion has on the environment. Completing her 200-hour yoga teacher training inspired her passion for wellness and mindfulness. That, combined with her strong ties to her faith, were the driving forces that led to the creation of Transcendent Active and the desire to create a fashionable, sustainable modest activewear collection. Eventually moving back to New Jersey and doing some soul searching, Aja was determined to blend her love for designing activewear, her passion for yoga and movement, and her dedication to helping the planet become more sustainable.

Michelle Harris is the host of the podcast Her Hype Squad with Bosstrack. She founded Bosstrack in 2021 to provide women new to leadership roles with the development, support and mentorship she found lacking for new leaders. Often little thought is given to the new tools and perspectives needed to lead and, as a result, new leaders are expected to just “figure things out”.
Bosstrack was developed to fill this gap. Michelle has over 25 years of leadership experience with more than half of that time spent at an executive level. Her focus has always been on people, shaping her teams to produce results and grow in their roles.
She has led her teams through financial reorganizations, acquisitions and multi-billion dollar private equity sales. She is excited to bring this opportunity to new women leaders!
When not working to empower women leaders, you can find Michelle in the water, in a photography studio or at a new restaurant. She enjoys photography, scuba diving, free diving, enjoying food and wine and exploring new places. She is a mom to two and wife of a former Marine.

Traci recently watched the Netflix Docu-series, "Working: What we do All Day" and couldn't wait to discuss it on the podcast! Throughout the show, it became evident just how crucial it is for employers to truly understand the experiences and needs of their employees. It's not enough to make decisions based solely on our own perspectives; we must consider how these decisions impact those they affect the most.

David is the Head of Procurement at Logitech, one of the world's leading manufacturers of computer peripherals and software. They have 8,200+ employees, $4B+ in assets, and did $5.32B+ in revenue over the past year.

Named a Human Capital industry “Disruptor” in 2019 by Utah Magazine, Christine Wzorek has disrupted and redefined how Human Capital works within the framework of modern business by modernizing companies like SABCA, Gobeckli and Dwelo.
