Why Nobody Talks About Being a Caregiver at Work (& What It's Costing Us) with Jennifer LevinIn this deeply personal episode of The WorkWell Podcast™, Jen Fisher speaks with Jennifer Levin, television writer, journalist, and founder of Caregiver Collective, about her powerful book "Generation Care: The New Culture of Caregiving." While we're in meetings and hitting deadlines, millions of workers are simultaneously managing something most colleagues know nothing about—caring for aging or chronically ill family members. Jennifer became a caregiver at 32 when her father was diagnosed with a rare degenerative illness, and what she discovered changed everything about how we should think about work, support, and what it means to show up.Episode Highlights:What makes millennial and Gen X caregiving different—and why "you don't have other responsibilities" is a dangerous assumptionWhy most young caregivers don't identify as caregivers—and what that silence costs themThe role reversal nobody prepares you for: becoming your parent's parentWhy our culture doesn't value family care as strong social capital—and the discrimination that followsThe real cost to companies: employees leaving not because they want to, but because unpaid leave forces impossible choicesSigns a team member might be struggling with caregiving (even if they haven't said anything)Ambiguous loss: grieving the person who's still here and the life you thought you'd haveWhy guilt is the one word every caregiver mentions, no matter what aspect of care they're discussingHow to create a culture of care awareness without requiring people to sacrifice their careersThe "waiting for the other shoe to drop" reality—and why caregiving emergencies don't follow a scheduleQuotable Moments:"People will question your decisions all the time when you're a caregiver. But the person you're caring for wouldn't want you to give up on yourself either." - Jennifer LevinResources:This episode of The WorkWell Podcast™ is made possible by Lyra Health, a premier global workforce mental health solution.

This conversation with Dee Scarano delves into the concept of psychological safety, emphasizing the importance of honesty and vulnerability in communication. Dee shares how fear of judgment can hinder open expression and explore practical strategies for creating an environment where individuals feel safe to share their thoughts. They highlight the significance of anonymity, comfort zones, and standardized formats in fostering inclusivity and collaboration.    Honesty in communication fosters psychological safety. Psychological safety allows individuals to voice their thoughts without fear. Fear of judgment is a significant barrier to open communication. Anonymity is crucial for creating a safe space for sharing ideas. Building comfort zones is essential before encouraging risk-taking. Standardized formats help ensure equal contributions from all participants. Facilitators must create structures that promote psychological safety. Understanding human behavior is key to effective facilitation. Sharing knowledge within the facilitation community is vital. Vulnerability can lead to stronger connections and collaboration.

We all know netops, NRE, and devops can increase productivity, increase Mean Time Between Mistakes (MTBM), and decrease MTTR--but how do we deploy and use these tools? We often think of the technical hurdles you face in their deployment, but most of the blockers are actually cultural. Chris Grundemann, Eyvonne, Russ, and Tom discuss the cultural issues with deploying netops on this episode of the Hedge.

Sabine VanderLinden, managing partner & CEO of venture lab Alchemy Crew, says AI spending is wasted when companies don't prepare staff for tech launches.

Send us a textWhat if the key to workplace productivity isn't another productivity app or time management system, but something far more elemental – laughter? Kevin Hubschmann, founder of laugh.events, reveals how strategic comedy breaks are revolutionizing corporate culture and employee well-being.The concept is beautifully simple yet scientifically sound: 15-minute comedy sessions that function as cognitive reset buttons during the workday. When scheduled during the notorious 2-4 PM energy slump, these "laugh breaks" reduce cortisol levels, boost endorphins, and help employees return to work refreshed and re-engaged. It's what Kevin calls "the new cigarette break" – a deliberate pause that acknowledges our biological need for mental rest.But the conversation goes deeper than scheduling comedy shows. Kevin explores how improvisational techniques build crucial "power skills" that distinguish humans from AI. As technology increasingly handles routine tasks, our uniquely human abilities – divergent thinking, authentic communication, creative problem-solving – become our most valuable professional assets. Through "laughing and development" workshops, teams learn to flex these creative muscles in safe, playful environments.The discussion takes fascinating turns through education reform, generational workplace differences, and how our lifelong conditioning toward obedience has created workforces that struggle with independent thinking. Kevin shares practical insights on bringing more authenticity to professional settings, making incremental changes that lead to meaningful growth, and creating environments where creativity can flourish within thoughtful boundaries.With predictions that 50% of Americans may lack skills for employment by 2030, this conversation offers a refreshingly optimistic counterpoint – a vision where technology handles the monotony while humans focus on connection, creativity and innovation. Ready to rethink how laughter might transform your workplace? This episode offers both the philosophical foundation and practical first steps.Subscribe to Kevin's newsletter at laughrx.laugh.events or visit laugh.events to explore how strategic comedy might revolutionize your team's culture and productivity.

On this week's Modern Retail Podcast, co-hosts Gabriela Barkho and Melissa Daniels discuss the rollout of ChatGPT's new Instant Checkout feature that will initially support single-item purchases from Etsy sellers, and how brands are increasingly looking at third-party AI tools as a sales channel. Then they chat about Walmart's announcement that it's removing more artificial dyes and additives from its private label food products amid a growing drumbeat of customer demand for transparency and clean ingredients. Then on the featured segment (16:40), the hosts are joined by Taylor Capuano and Casey Sarai, who co-founded Cakes Body in 2021. Their discussion focuses on the company benefits they've rolled out to improve company performance, and how emerging brands can redefine corporate culture. The company blew up on TikTok and has now surpassed $100 million in revenue. This summer they also made their national retail debut in Ulta stores. Behind the scenes, though, Cakes offers benefits to employees like child care reimbursement and unlimited PTO that the founders say increases company performance in the long run. Their conversation dives into not only why Cakes offers such benefits but how it is adhering to this company culture as it scales, including: the importance of a $3,000 per month child care benefit that is used by around 20% of their team, how Cakes employees schedule and plan to accommodate week-long companywide quiet periods, even during the fourth quarter, and the advantages of being a bootstrapped company when it comes to deciding operational expenses.

Diversity ist in vielen Unternehmen ein Buzzword – doch was bedeutet es wirklich, Vielfalt zu leben statt nur zu posten?Michaela Jaap beschäftigt sich seit Jahren genau mit dieser Frage. Als Head of Corporate Culture & Responsibility bei HAYS und Vorstandsmitglied der Charta der Vielfalt weiß sie, was es braucht, damit Diversität in Organisationen nicht symbolisch bleibt, sondern Wirkung entfaltet – strukturell, menschlich, kulturell.In dieser Folge sprechen wir über echte Veränderung – und darüber, wie HR, Führung und Organisation gemeinsam Verantwortung übernehmen können.Was du in dieser Folge lernst:Vielfalt ist oft schon da – nur nicht sichtbar: Warum der erste Schritt nicht Kampagne, sondern Bestandsaufnahme ist – und wie Unternehmen erkennen, wo bereits Vielfalt gelebt wird.Prozesse statt Plakate: Wie man diskriminierende Muster in Strukturen erkennt – z. B. in Gremienarbeit, Beförderungsprozessen oder Recruitingkriterien – und warum soziale Herkunft oft unbewusst ausgeschlossen wird.Führung braucht Haltung: Welche Verantwortung Führungskräfte tragen – und warum Sensibilisierung, Ansprechbarkeit und klare Konsequenzen der Schlüssel sind.Konsequenzen statt Schweigen: Warum Organisationen klare Grenzen setzen müssen – und wie das Vertrauen und Sicherheit im Team stärkt.Diversity trifft Nachhaltigkeit: Wie sich soziale Verantwortung mit ökologischen Zielen verbinden lässt – z. B. durch inklusive Praktika, gezielte Kooperationen und Sichtbarkeit für neue Perspektiven.Diese Folge zeigt: Wer Vielfalt wirklich will, muss dorthin schauen, wo es unbequem wird – und dann bereit sein, Strukturen zu verändern.Jetzt reinhören – und lernen, wie Diversity mehr wird als ein Versprechen.Und hier ist der Kontakt zu Michaela: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaela-jaap/ Website: https://www.charta-der-vielfalt.de/

In this special episode, host Paul Spain sits down with Steve Sasson, the American electrical engineer who quite literally changed how the world captures moments—he invented the first self-contained (portable) digital camera at Kodak back in the mid-1970s. Recorded at Steve's home in Rochester, New York, Steve shares not only the technical hurdles and creative thinking that made digital imaging possible, but also gives us a look into Kodak's company culture—how innovation collided with tradition, and why big organisations sometimes struggle to reinvent themselves in times of massive technological change.

Actionable TakeawayStop hiding parts of yourself at work and bring more of who you are into the room.Swap “fearlessness” for courage: feel the fear and move forward anyway.Use vulnerability as a strength because it builds trust faster than pretending you've got it all together.Take a pause to breathe before big conversations because it shifts the whole energy.Get clear on your personal “why” instead of borrowing the company's version.Connect with your team on something beyond KPIs because that's where loyalty lives.Notice where technology helps but don't outsource the human touch.Find your own shape of brilliance and stop squeezing into boxes you don't fit. Connect with Anne Robie:Learn more about Anne RobieAnne on LinkedInConnect with Christian "Boo" Boucousis:Learn more about Christian BoucousisBoo on LinkedInBoo on InstagramBoo on YouTube Support the Podcast:If this episode meant something to you, please consider subscribing and reviewing the show.

Dr. Nombasa Tsengwa, former CEO of Exxaro Resources, joins Bongani Bingwa to reflect on a career marked by remarkable highs and a turbulent exit. After more than two decades in the mining industry, she rose to the top—only to find herself isolated at the summit. Her tenure was marred by allegations of bullying and toxic leadership, with senior executives resigning and accusing her of creating a hostile environment. Eventually suspended amid claims of misconduct, she departed the company she helped shape over decades. Today, she speaks with striking candour, saying she holds no resentment. But her story remains a cautionary tale about the weight of leadership at the top. As questions linger—did she jump, or was she pushed?—we explore what it means to lead, lose, and start over. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station. Bongani makes sense of the news, interviews the key newsmakers of the day, and holds those in power to account on your behalf.

Using his Square Management System, he highlights the importance of understanding corporate culture and the individual work preferences of employees to create a harmonious and productive workplace. This episode emphasizes that successful mergers often hinge on cultural fit more so than financial metrics and that understanding the preferences for independence or constraint can lead to better job satisfaction and performance. Chris and Matthew explore how culture isn't just about perks like ping-pong tables but is deeply tied to identity, instruction, intercommunication, and feedback within a company. Key Takeaways: The Square Management System emphasizes four elements—identity, instruction, intercommunication, and information feedback—as crucial for understanding and shaping corporate culture. Employers and employees benefit significantly from cultural alignment, impacting individual job satisfaction and overall business success. Cultural fit in mergers and acquisitions can often predict the success or failure of such ventures, as seen in both infamous and successful M&A cases. Matthew's approach underscores that there is no universally right or wrong culture; it's about finding the fit that aligns the company's processes with employees' natural work styles. Taking self-assessment quizzes can help both employees and executives understand their ideal work environments, ensuring better placement and higher retention. Notable Quotes: "Culture isn't just the ping-pong tables or Thursday beers; it's about identity, instruction, intercommunication, and feedback." "There's no wrong culture, just your culture, and it's crucial for executives to understand what aligns best with their organizational goals." "Successful mergers often hinge on cultural fit more than any financial metric; it's about bringing together compatible systems and people." "Great culture is alignment between the employee and the company. We've often focused too much on broad appeal instead of individual fit." "Our goal is to let people make decisions and own them within a framework that respects their independence and contributes to a high-performing team."

Tom welcomes back the legendary Rick Rule to the show.  Rick discusses the current state of the gold and his thoughts on the uranium sector. Rick also discusses the U.S. energy sector and notes that the the Canadian oil and gas industry, particularly in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, is potentially even more favorable due to political conditions. He contrasts this with the over-drilled Permian basin in the U.S., suggesting Canada's untapped resources could lead to significant growth if policies become more supportive.  Rick's investment philosophy centers on long-term perspective, resilience, and continuous learning. Rule advises investors to educate themselves, act prudently, and build a strong reputation. He concludes with a quote from Robert Friedland, underscoring the importance of preparation for economic challenges, urging listeners to embrace this journey as an opportunity for growth.  Lastly, Rick highlights his new project Battle Bank, a unique service providing lending products secured by physical gold and silver, catering to those seeking capital access while maintaining prudent savings.
