Welcome to my Career Development, Career Management, and HR Blog

Listen Now!

Thanks for stopping by. As you probably guessed, my first name is Helen. I have a Ph.D. or doctorate in Psychology and my last name starts with an O … Not the most original way to choose an URL but drheleno.ca was available. There are times when I’m speaking with someone and I don’t have a card and neither of us has a pen and paper (or wants to pull out a phone) so I tell them they can find me under drheleno.ca and this takes them to my I/O Advisory Services website. For a while, this blog was independent of the main website.

Ask Dr. Helen About Career and HR Issues

My graduate degrees are in Industrial/Organizational Psychology so I am knowledgeable about work-related situations/problems, careers, and other issues that employees, leaders, and business owners face. Since I have many years of experience working with hiring managers/hiring organizations, I can offer advice that will be useful to small business owners who could use some temporary human resources (HR) help. Please click here for an overview of my HR and Career-Related services.

So, check back here regularly or connect with me via social media. There’s more to come.

In the meantime, if you have HR or career-related matters that you’d like to discuss, please contact me by email, phone, or via direct message on Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn. I’m also available if you’d like to discuss any of these topics in more detail.

 

More than career coaching, it’s career psychology®.

What do HR Departments do?

During a recent chat with some new university graduates, we discussed the function of a Human Resources (HR) department. In the midst of that casual conversation, it occurred to me from their comments that while I have 20+ years of understanding of what goes on in the HR department, younger people who are just starting out might have no idea at all.

The Hidden Realities of Frenemies at Work

On the surface, frenemies might appear supportive and friendly, but their actions or words can subtly or overtly undermine, sabotage, or criticize. This kind of relationship can be particularly complex … When this happens at work, where one’s livelihood is at stake, it can be especially difficult.

Post-Pandemic Physical Return-to-Work Mandates? (Part Two)

In my last post, More Post-Pandemic Return-to-Office Mandates? (Part One) I talked about some of the positives of a physical return-to-work (or reduced remote work). This week I’ll look at some of the trickier aspects and why working at home is so much better for some — plus some of the benefits of a hybrid work arrangement.

More Post-Pandemic Return-to-Office Mandates? (Part One)

by | Jun 1, 2024

Once buzzing with life, the modern office is often quieter in today’s post-pandemic world – despite return-to-office (hybrid) mandates or the threat of these mandates.

Despite research published by the Harvard Business School and Fortune Magazine showing that remote workers are more productive, some employers claim that in-office work boosts productivity. A tug-of-war has emerged between management eager for a full (or at least hybrid) return to work and employees cherishing the flexibility of working remotely.
