About these podcasts…
You may not have ever encountered a boss quite like Michael Scott. Your top salesman probably doesn’t moonlight as a beet farmer, and your new temp may not be your old temp who became your new boss…before he went to jail. However, you’ve probably met an employee who doesn’t think she’s using the full extent of her talents, or have a co-worker who’s having trouble communicating with a new supervisor.
Welcome to HR Watches The Office, a series of podcasts where the small screen meets the workplace. During these series, you’ll hear an entertaining discussion of the hit NBC TV series The Office, with an eye towards the role of human resources and workplace behaviors in the show.
We’ll be joined by experts and thought leaders in the corporate and HR fields, as well as fans of the show, who will share their thoughts and recollections about The Office, in what we hope will be an entertaining and informative podcast about one of the best series to ever hit the airwaves.
Whether you’re interested in office pranks or office policy, the HR Watches The Office podcasts have something for you!
About this host
Matt Dubno is a writer, editor, and pop culture critic. His past work includes two stints on the radio dial at WHCL-FM in central New York, reporting, articles, and essays featured in a variety of formats and media, and more traditional work in the field of advertising, marketing, and promotions.
According to Matt, “There is a great deal of relevant material that HR professionals in particular can learn from watching The Office. Behind the faux pas, the slapstick, and the pathos lie essential truths about the nature of corporate philosophy and interpersonal relationships in the modern workplace.”
His favorite character is Andy Bernard and he’s been to the Scranton Anthracite Museum, but would never put a co-worker’s stapler in Jello.
