Inclusion through Flexibility with Clare Kumar

Talent Management Truths

“Flexibility is inclusivity.”

- Clare Kumar

In this time of talent shortages and so-called “quiet quitting,” organizations are working to switch up their approaches to hiring and developing and retaining their people. That’s why being inclusive in the design and offering of programs that support employees is essential. When it comes to how YOU lead and how you design organizational programs, how do you ensure you are addressing the needs of neurodivergent groups and of highly-sensitive people? Perhaps you didn’t realize you could or should be doing so. No worries - you’re in the right place!

My guest is Clare Kumar. Productivity catalyst and highly sensitive executive coach, Clare Kumar, helps professionals achieve sustainable performance - improving productivity and well-being while avoiding exhaustion and burnout. She draws on a diverse corporate career which took her from Toronto to Tokyo and Montreal, with equal experience as an entrepreneur. She is a sought-after media contributor to news and lifestyle shows including the Huffington Post, Fast Company, the Globe and Mail, CBC, The Social, and the Marilyn Denis Show. Whether speaking to one person or thousands, Clare loves inspiring massive shifts by inviting you to pay attention to little things that make a big difference. She welcomes all highly sensitive professionals as well as those who want to love and support them to find community in the Happy Space Pod.

In this episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:

🍏 What it means to be a Highly Sensitive Person

🍏 How Talent Leaders can meet the needs of HSP team members through program design - and why this benefits everyone
