80% of workers report they’re disengaged when it comes to work.

So what’s the driving force behind employees’ increasing discontentment, disengagement, and rejection of the status quo? 

Hebba chats with the Fractional Chief People Officer who’s led more than 100 worldwide companies to scale, Anessa Fike about the importance of transparency, feedback, and revolutionizing work to create a better experience for employees. 

Anessa shares her thoughts on the disengagement crisis in the workforce and explains why it’s time leaders stop avoiding feedback and start embracing transparency and vulnerability. 

And later, Anessa and Hebba explore the illusion of professionalism. Does the idea of professionalism only exist to maintain the status quo of those in charge? And how are millennials and Gen Z impacting change when it comes to questioning the construct of professionalism?

It’s time to change the way we think about work. Tune in now to join the thought revolution.
