HR Happy Hour 486 - Inclusion Lessons from Special Olympics Athlete Leaders

Hosts: Steve Boese, Trish McFarlane

Guests: Kiera Byland and Ben Haack, Athlete Leaders, Special Olympics

This episode of the HR Happy Hour is sponsored by Paychex, one of the leading providers of HR, payroll, retirement, and insurance solutions for businesses of all sizes. More than half of business owners with 10-500 employees say the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine is causing them to start, or start planning, their return to the workplace. If you’re thinking about instituting a vaccination policy, download Paychex’s latest e-book, “Managing COVID-19 Vaccinations and the Return to Work,” to learn about key considerations for developing your policy, as well as important health and safety measures for establishing a safe and productive return to work. Go to payx.me/ebook-vaccines to download your copy of the e-book, today.

This week we were joined by Kiera Byland and Ben Haack, Athlete Leaders from the Special Olympics to talk about their experiences in athletics, what they have learned from competing and from being a part of a team, and what advice they have for HR and business leaders for creating more accessible, welcoming, and open workplaces for people having Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities. This was a really interesting and inspiring conversation with two amazing young leaders working to make the world a better place, by encouraging all of us to value all people, no matter what their challenges may be.

Thanks Kiera and Ben for joining us!  Subscribe to the HR Happy Hour wherever you get your podcasts.
