Work is changing FAST.
Between global pandemics, remote work, and the Great Reshuffle, it’s no wonder we’re all feeling a little unhinged!
Nothing like building a deep work connection to help you adjust to it all, eh?
That’s why this week’s episode is a fun (slightly wild) ride with Chris Hagood, CEO of AstutEdge and all-around HR powerhouse.
We’re covering everything from the role of work friendships to whether you’d take $10,000 to return to the office (spoiler: Chris has thoughts).
Plus, we’re throwing in some HR raps courtesy of ChatGPT because why not?!
