Although these trends were starting prior to COVID, the pandemic did seem to bring into sharper focus for a lot of people how they want to work. Many individuals are choosing not to pursue the traditional 40-hour workweek with one employer; instead, more and more people are opting for freelancing opportunities with multiple employers. In this episode, we discuss how employers can embrace this shift in work dynamics rather than dreading it.

On this week's episode of Whine, we are discussing civility in the workplace. Workplace civility is a buzzword that often makes people think of everyone sitting in a circle singing "Kumbaya." However, that's not the reality of it. It's about creating a shared understanding with your team about how you want to interact with one another. We're going to be discussing how to start the conversation, what to focus on, and, of course, sharing some great tips and tricks to leading the way. Grab your favorite beverage and join us!

Julie was drinking Clarendelle, a Bordeaux Blanc. It was a nice blend of several white varieties that made for a pleasing wine with soft notes of citrus, lemon, perhaps a little olive oil. Trisha was drinking Unshackled Cabernet Sauvignon by Prisoner Wine Company. She commented on its notes of blackberry, fig, and olive tapenade. This is one of her new favorites!
