This week on The Alder Hour, Matt, Rhona, and Jocelyn break down the latest in work culture and talent strategy, including Salesforce's bold AI claims and the hidden cost of forcing RTO (Return to Office). Then, recruiting veteran Brian Fink joins the show to tackle some big questions: Is psychological safety a business imperative? Is sourcing officially dead? And how can recruiters stay relevant as AI transforms hiring?

Plus, a new segment of Trending or Ending?, surprising headlines, and a sneak peek at Brian’s upcoming podcast with Purple Acorn. If you're in HR, TA, or just curious about the future of work — this episode is for you.
