Season 1, Episode 88 — June 29, 2026

Length: 9:59

This week’s episode boldly goes where Teams meetings have gone before, with updates on in-person work expectations, inclusive hiring, workplace collaboration and a few reminders from the ODHS calendar.

The episode begins with Director Liesl Wendt’s June 24 Discover message clarifying what is changing — and what is not — around in-person work guidance for managers and remote work requests for staff. From there, the episode covers an Inclusive Hiring Advocates information session, a Canopy webinar on workplace collaboration, reminders about Governor Tina Kotek’s employee town hall and ADA anniversary webinars, and a quick stop in Enterprise before Writer’s Round-Up takes the show into the final frontier.
