Bob saffian talks to hayden brown, ceo of upwork. Upwork is a tech platform for millions of free lance workers that counts companies from air b and b to microsopt among its customers. She explains how she grappled with restructuring the business amid a pandemic. Also delves into the realities around remote work, hybrid work and the fast changing priorities that are recasting how talent is deployed.

Hayden’s people-focused approach to the difficult decision of how to manage remote employees in Russia is the same mindset she applies to meet the needs of all workers, from people feeling conflict to working mothers.
