The Editor’s Note
Hello,
Can you believe it’s already April 18th? Like every other month this year, the month of April seems to be flying by. The day has finally arrived for TEDxVanderbiltUniversity, which is a wonderful opportunity to hear “ideas worth spreading” from six members of our very own Vanderbilt community. If you had hopes of attending this year’s in-person event but you’re unable to, we’ve got you covered. An online live stream will be available for those who are not able to attend in-person. No need for reserved tickets if you plan to watch the live stream. The event will be streamed on Vanderbilt University’s YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/vanderbilt. The show will begin promptly at 6pm CST.
Highlights for this month’s edition:
- Visit the “Did You Know” section to learn how to tap into a valuable resource for your professional growth
- The Career Growth Series kicks off with it’s first session on April 19th! Visit the “HR ELE Upcoming Experiences” section below to register today.
The summer heat will be here before you know it. Make the most of what’s left of spring: take a stroll through campus (if you’re in the area), enjoy some sunlight with a cool breeze, and learn and grow with ELE.
Enjoy!

FEATURED PODCAST
HBR Ideacast | Stop Neglecting Low-Wage Workers
Listen in less than an 30 minutes!
Many people blame the shortage of low-wage workers on the enduring impact of the pandemic. But management professor Joseph Fuller and senior researcher Manjari Raman of Harvard Business School say that the real reason has been long in the making. Their studies show that companies view low-wage workers as people who will be in the job only for a short time. Instead, the researchers find that these employees are loyal and want development and a clear path to career advancement. The researchers share practical suggestions for how leaders and managers can do better in hiring, development, and mentoring. Fuller and Raman wrote the HBR article “The High Cost of Neglecting Low-Wage Workers.”
