In this episode host Kim MacDonald speaks with special guest Dr. Stefanie Ruel a professor at Cape Breton University in human resources and organizational behaviour. Dr. Ruel is a former space life sciences Mission Manager who historical and contemporary justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, and Indigeneity (JEDII) challenges and opportunities in STEM and entrepreneurship.
Dr. Ruel's latest research explores new understandings of grief, grieving, and work and their importance for health-oriented, workplace leaders, managers and supervisors who are interested in continuous improvement and applying newer research and understandings. Using the example of grief and grieving, Dr. Ruel also helps us understand how important it is to regularly review HR practices, policies, and benefits to ensure they are not creating invisible barriers to thriving and flourishing at work. Dr. Ruel shares how outdated, disproved research and models have and continue today to shape workplace beliefs and guide employee benefits and policies. The DSM-5 now recognizes complicated grieving as a mental illness. Dr. Ruel shares her thoughts on the role of workplace culture (one of the 13 psychological health and safety risk factors), the need for attention in supporting the area of grieving as a mental health concern and what all workplaces can learn from indigenous culture and practices.
