What happens when people-first policies run up against the demands of a profit-centered world? Is it unrealistic to believe that companies can value culture as highly as they value sales? Or is it fantasy? Today we sit down with Catrin Lewis, a renowned author and workforce expert who has embraced that very idea. We discuss her work, her views on workplace culture, and her acclaimed books about unicorns, vultures, and the very real power of employee engagement.

In the wake of the pandemic, many wondered if the radical workplace changes we saw would last, or if they would fade away as the world returned to normal. Now, three years on, we know for certain – many of these changes are here to stay. Employees and organizations have new priorities, new values, and a stronger sense of what they're looking for in a workplace. Workers want more freedom, more organizational trust, and fair benefits and compensation. Today we chat with WriterArmy founder Sully Chaudhary, who has been embracing those ideals for the past decade, working to build a culture, an environment, and an engaging virtual office that allows team members to thrive from anywhere in the world. Learn more about WriterArmy here: https://writerarmy.com/about/ In a post-pandemic world, workers want to retain their flexibility and have the best of both worlds: an office to meet and collaborate in, and the freedom to work remotely. The new norm is "hybrid," but what does this mean in practice? What are the challenges and opportunities of this form of working, and how can leaders rethink collaboration formats and decision-making?

Careers never follow a straight path. There are ups, there are downs, and there are wild circles and zig-zags.  But what happens when the path just... stops?  What happens when we get stuck in a position or a state of mind for so long that it begins to feel permanent? How can we shake off that feeling of paralysis, and get moving again?

Happiness can mean different things to different people. For some, it's achieving a lifelong goal. For others, it's landing a dream job, or making an impact on the world or building a better life for family and friends.

The workplace evolution of the past few years has opened up new opportunities for employees across the globe. But it's also created a sense of unease. As some companies transition to remote or hybrid work and embrace employee-first philosophies, others are laying off staff and increasing their demands on those employees who remain. Employees may feel insecure in their roles, afraid that any misstep or miscommunication could put their job at risk as well. Today we speak with workplace expert and renowned consultant Teresa Mitrovic, who coaches Fortune 500 companies on the value of promoting psychological safety in their workplaces. This approach, when adopted properly, can radically improve employee happiness and performance, giving team members more control over their working lives and lifting the pressures that can lead to dissatisfaction, unhappiness and burnout.
