Dolly Parton???
On Halloween, we hosted a webinar attended by more than 1,000 participants. Because we had so many fine HR minds on the line, we thought we’d get their opinions on some key issues.
The first question we asked was: Which employment law issue most often wakes you up in the middle of the night?
The clear winner was discipline/termination. Here are the full results:
- Discipline/termination (35%)
- Family and medical leave (15%)
- Workers’ comp (10%)
- Wage and hour (8%)
- Benefits (7%)
- Investigations (5%)
- Hiring (5%)
- Sexual harassment (4%)
- Immigration/I-9s (3%)
- Disabilities (2%)
- Unions (2%)
We’ll keep this data in mind as we design future webinars.
On a deeper, more philosophical level, we asked: What’s the greatest work song of all time?
Frankly, I’m still deeply disturbed/nauseous about the results. As much as it pains me to put this in writing, the winner was Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5.
Here are all the votes:
- 9 to 5 (Dolly Parton) (26%)
- Takin’ Care of Business (BTO) (20%)
- Take This Job and Shove It (Johnny Paycheck) (20%)
- Working for the Weekend (Loverboy) (9%)
- Money for Nothing (Dire Straits) (8%)
- Bang the Drum All Day (Todd Rundgren) (7%)
- Working on the Chain Gang (Sam Cooke) (3%)
- Get a Job (Silhouttes, Sha Na Na) (1%)
- Working in the Coalmine (Lee Dorsey, Devo) (1%)
Thanks again to all who participated in the webinar. Another one will be coming your way in the Spring!
