Second, my 100+ colleagues at Lehman Bros are overall, in similarly good shape. I only had the privilege of working with this team after things were back up and running, and it’s too easy for many of us to forget that the 7,000 or so Lehman employees who worked near Ground Zero kept the company running by packing into other sites, conference rooms, hotels and working from home. Anthony, Ford, Linda and (especially) MJ, you’re life-long role models.
If we work in HR, career resiliency is something that’s always part of the job, for ourselves, our organizations, and the employees we look after. Eighteen years ago, we got tested. I’m happy to say we passed.
As always, we’re interested to hear your perspectives on this topic.
