    • 36. 4-Day Work Week 101: A Crash Course for Business Owners and Leaders

      Is the 4-day work week about working hard or hardly working? Is it a passing fad or the future of work? Can it improve well-being or is it a flawed solution for more complex workplace challenges? And perhaps most importantly, how can businesses afford it?!

      We answer these questions and more in this week's episode. Whether you’re a believer or a sceptic, we offer an introduction on the dos, don’ts and hows of transitioning to a 4-day work week.

      To help us, we’re joined by three expert guests:

      Joe O’Connor

      Joe is Director & Co-Founder at Work Time Reduction Centre of Excellence and Former former CEO at 4 Day Week Global, the organisation behind the hugely successful 4-day work week global pilot. A dynamic changemaker and leader, Joe supported over 200 employers and 10,000 employees to make the transition to reduced-hour, productivity-focused working in 2022.

      Banks Benitez

      Banks is a formidable business leader and expert in the future of work. As CEO of Uncharted, he led the company through a rebrand, and strategic pivot, and rolled out a new strategy of building partnerships with brands like Chipotle, Facebook, and NBC that doubled the size of the organization. In 2020, he moved Uncharted to a 4-day workweek in 2020, and were named by Outside Magazine one of the 50 best places to work in the US.

      Fery Kaszoni

      Fery is the Founder & Managing Director of Search Intelligence Ltd, a leading digital PR agency that owns and operates dozens of web and SAAS platforms and useful online tools, with a network of websites reaching millions of users every month. In May 2020, Fery transitioned his business and 40+ employees to a 4-day work week, with the announcement on LinkedIn garnering more than 120,000 reactions in just three days.

      If you want to avoid being caught up in the latest workplace fad and understand how to profitably shift to a 4-day work week, this episode is a must-listen!

    • 34. How to Identify and Eliminate Toxic Workplace Cultures

      Toxic workplaces aren’t just bad for employee mental health, they’re bad for business.

      No one sets out to build a toxic workplace culture, yet 2 out of 3 employees have experiences toxic workplaces. What’s worse, 44% of employees blame leadership.

      As leaders, it’s more important than ever that we know how to spot, and stop, toxic workplace culture, and create healthy work environments in which people and businesses thrive.

      To help us unpick this complex topic, we’re joined by three expert guests. 

      • Bonnie Low-Kramen is a TedX Speaker, Workplace Advocate and Best-Selling Author of Staff Matters, helping executives and teams work together to create the ultimate workplace.
      • Paula Allen is a Global Leader in Research and Client Insights at TELUS Health (formerly LifeWork), and an expert in total well-being strategy for workplaces. 
      • Rita Ernst is a Positivity Influencer, Organisational Consultant and best-selling author of Show Up Positive. She is committed to building workplaces where happiness and productivity converge to create positive, committed, high-performing teams.


        Join us as we discuss:

        • What is a toxic workplace culture?
        • What attitudes and behaviours create toxic environments?
        • What behaviours can be considered bullying, harassment or discrimination?
        • How do we know if culture really is toxic, or if people are being sensitive?
        • What are the signs of a toxic culture?
        • What can leaders do to prevent (or fix!) toxic workplace cultures

        • Remember, a lack of reports does not mean a lack of incidents. If you’re a leader who cares about your staff (and business!) this is a must-listen.

        • 33. Stella Smith: How pirkx is Redefining Employee Benefits
          Welcome to the first episode of our Founder Story Series. We’re thrilled to welcome CEO and Co-Founder Stella Smith to the Podcast.


          Following a career in financial services, Stella founded a number of small businesses and quickly became frustrated with the lack of well-being benefits that were available, both for her team and other small businesses. 

          So, in 2019, she founded pirkx, an online platform dedicated to increasing accessibility to vital well-being benefits. Today, pirkx has secured millions of pounds in series A funding and is on track to support 1,000,000 users by 2025.

          Join an inspirational conversation with Stella, as we learn:

          • How Stella progressed from McDonald's to a senior leader on the financial markets trading floor
          • Why success is not about luck
          • How to win on product and price
          • Why the ex-MD of Google UK & Ireland is on the pirkx Board
          • How listening improved the health of pirkx customers
          • What development opportunities engage Gen-Z
          • Why reason is so important in workplace culture
          • How ‘being nice’ is a prerequisite for working at, and with, pirkx
          • How you can access 40 health and well-being benefits, including GP and counselling services, for less than £5 a month

          • We are feeling SO energised and inspired after listening to this incredible Founder Story. We know you will be too.

          • 32. Why Understanding Women's Health is Vital for Male Leaders

            As male leaders, we understand that it can be challenging to discuss certain topics, especially when they are related to sensitive matters such as women's health. This episode is dedicated to addressing those questions you've always wanted to ask but were afraid to bring up.

            These remarkable women bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the discussion, and they are eager to help demystify the subject for our listeners. Our goal is to foster an open and honest conversation about women's health, empowering male leaders to be better informed and more empathetic in their approach towards their female colleagues and employees.

            In this episode, our esteemed panel will shed light on a range of women's health topics, such as menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, and more. We will also explore the intersection between women's health and workplace culture, discussing how organizations can implement policies and practices that support the well-being of their female employees. Through this conversation, we hope to bridge the gap in understanding and create a more inclusive and supportive work environment for everyone.

            Whether you're a male leader seeking guidance or simply someone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of women's health, we're confident that you'll walk away from this discussion with valuable insights and a new perspective.

            Don't miss this opportunity to broaden your horizons and become a better ally to the women in your workplace!

              Hannah Austin

              I highly recommend Hannah's book for women that have, or are experiencing burnout, questions around identity and life and career transitions.

              Hannah also offers organizational wellness workshops and talks, and private 1:1 coaching for busy (and burnt-out) professionals through her consultancy SheShatter.

              Other resources I’d recommend include:

              • https://bigideascoalition.org/
              • If you’re in the UK, The Acas website is a vital resource, including help to understand your rights and options, employers and anyone affected by sexual harassment at work

                We’re told to recruit superstars. A team of superstars means high performance…right? 

                What if we told you the opposite was true. Hiring superstars has been shown to drag team performance down. And worse, a toxic superstar costs us productivity losses equating to four full-time employees. 

                So, what now? 

                Are superstar hires the silent culture killers? And if they are, how do we attract great (good...? average..?!) talent that contirbutes to team performance and adds value to our culture. 

                To answer these mind-twisting questions and more, we’re joined by three very special expert guests.

                Join Ryne Sherman, Chief Science Officer at Hogan, and Martin Solway and Fidel Torreiro, Co-Founders of Audax Generation, as we discuss: 

                • What is the superstar effect?
                • Is it different from a toxic superstar?
                • What is the truth and lies of hiring superstars?
                • How do we manage superstars?
                • Should we being recruiting average instead of A+ talent?
                • Why is it important to shift our focus from individual to team performance?
                • How to we build diverse teams?
                • How do we protect culture as we grow?

                • If your entire recruitment strategy to date is based on hiring A+ talent, this episode is a must listen!
