About this listen

In this episode of The Republic We Keep, we sit down with Lisa Hirsch—Senior VP of Total Rewards —to explore the systems that shape the American workplace from the inside out. With decades of experience in HR and corporate benefits, Lisa walks us through the real challenges behind employee healthcare, the ethics of cost vs. care, and why so many workers are falling through the cracks.


We dive into timely issues like:


  • What the murder of a UnitedHealth executive reveals about systemic frustration
  • The rising pressure of economic policy, tariffs, and benefit cuts
  • How companies are navigating transgender healthcare, DEI, and political polarization
  • What Gen Z is demanding—and how HR is (or isn’t) responding


This episode pulls back the curtain on decisions most people never see—and challenges us to ask: what do American workers really deserve?
