In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

As my regular listeners will know, most of my episodes are interview based. Well, this one’s going to be different. In response to the COVID 19 pandemic, I recently teamed up with acclaimed ergonomist and occupational therapist, Dr. Linda Miller from EWI Works to produce a video about how to work safely from home. So what I’m going to do for this episode is play the soundtrack from that video.

On the last two episodes of my podcast, I brought you stories from the Big Block Turnaround at the Shell Deer Park refinery near Houston, Texas. I promised you more, so here we go. In episode 43 we’re going to get into some of the health topics that were being promoted at the turnaround. Every day for four weeks, the health team at Deer Park visited the various lunch tents to do presentations, have educational contests and give away fun prizes. There were four big topics … one for each week. There was heat and hydration, sleep and fatigue, nutrition, and finally, physical activity and exercise. I was really impressed to see first hand how the craft contractors at the turnaround reacted to these lunch events. They learned a lot and had a great time with the contests and prizes. - marv ------------------------------------- No Harm is the health and safety podcast for HSE professionals.
