Engagement Academy

Christie Hoffman

Welcome to Engagement Academy, a podcast for busy HR professionals who are tired of vague advice on how to fix a toxic culture!


Nobody understands how exhausting it is to manage payroll, compliance, onboarding, policies, benefits, hiring, firing, employee growth, conflict management and more. Plus someone's having a baby, someone's getting divorced, and a riff is on the way  ALL BEFORE LUNCH.

You’re also on the hook for the biggest revenue driver of all— the people. 


Fold in a CEO who doesn’t get you, untrained managers, a small HR team, no budget...it’s no wonder you're here! How can you drive engagement when you’re a little fed up and disengaged yourself? 

Wait. Before you answer that... someone needs their paystub for the millionth time, someone wants to know if they can have paternity leave for their new cat, and someone is asking why they can't sign up for benefits in July. Can you take care of that please? Also, find the tax codes for Alaska and Tennessee. Also, please start recruiting for an engineer, but we're not sure if we have the budget. but find us some candidates. ok?

[insert maniacal laughter, straight into sobbing]  


There’s no such thing as employee engagement school, but go ahead and take your seat. Your favorite disengaged employee is about to explain it all.
