WorkTrends

"Work is a relationship, not a contract." Do you agree? This week on #WorkTrends, we're talking about helping employees reach their full potential — by rethinking our basic work structures. Jason Lauritsen tells us about his new book, "Unlocking High Performance," and Dr. Pamela Howze shares new apprenticeship programs designed to drive success for the next generation.

On this episode of #WorkTrends, we're talking about leadership with author Bill Treasurer. We'll discuss his new book, "The Leadership Killer," and map out ways every leader can be more humble and effective. We also hear from breatheHR CEO Jonathan Richards about the pledge you can take to build a better company culture.

On this episode of #WorkTrends, we're thinking through a very common challenge these days: successfully managing the modern workforce. How do you stay connected with your team and give people the tools they need to be successful? We hear from Sean Jackson, a former Marine who's on a mission to make work better. And we talk to author Kyle Nel about how he led massive behavioral change at Lowe's.

The way we work is leading to stressed-out employees, unfulfilled leaders and unhappy teams. There has to be a better way. Author Heather Hanson Wickman agrees.

We also hear from one leader who is completely rethinking the way we work.

Happy Halloween! This week, we're talking all things scary. Are you facing a scary career move? Or exploring a brand-new industry that scares you a little? We're talking to Stormy Simon, former president of Overstock.com, about her scary career leaps and her new passion: the (very scary to many!) cannabis industry. We also hear from Keegan Peterson, whose platform Wurk is adding function to the cannabis industry.

Here's what years of research tells us about employee motivation and engagement: employees really aren't motivated by money. Instead, we're all driven by respect, purpose, and relationships. Author Gregg Lederman joins us to talk about the employee motivation lessons he shares in his new book, "Crave." This episode is brought to you by our friends Reward Gateway.

We love to talk HR tech. But there's a real danger in forgetting about the HUMAN side of all that HR technology. On today's episode, we're talking about how to keep the "human" in human resources with Erica Keswin, author of "Bring Your Human to Work."

New research shows that diversity and inclusion is a top priority for leaders. So why is the needle moving backward when it comes to gender equality at work? We talk to Dorothy Dalton about the work she's doing to shift the conversation about men, women, work and bias.

Look out, people. Gen Z and an army of robots are about to come knocking at your office door. (Just kidding.) But WHO we work with and HOW we work together is all changing very fast. In this episode, we talk to author Alexandra Levit about the major trends affecting the workforce of tomorrow.

People around the world are more connected than ever before, and workers are jumping at the chance to relocate. This week on #WorkTrends, we're joined by Steve Black, co-founder of the HR tech company Topia. He shares new research about the state of the global workforce and employees' perspective on relocating. This episode is sponsored by Topia.
