If you’re tired of corporate jargon and HR “theater,” you’ve found the right place.

Welcome to The HR Misfits, hosted by Ami Graves, LaToya Davis (Executive HR Business Partner), and Marci Coppola (Founder & President, Seshen Coaching & Wellness).

In this episode, we discuss the SHRM lawsuit debacle that’s shaking the HR world. With candid discussions on leadership, accountability, and the realities of workplace bias, the Misfits tackle what happens when an organization’s actions don’t match their stated policies. Expect honest takes on the importance of policy enforcement, how HR must lead by example, and why accountability is key in every organization. This isn’t your average HR podcast. tTis is the place where we break down real-world scenarios with sass, depth, and a dose of humor that will make you rethink how HR is handled in the workplace.

Join us each week for thought-provoking conversations that challenge the status quo and explore how we can build better, more human-centered workplaces.
