We live in a work era that author and workplace expert Brigid Schulte calls a “quality of life” crisis. This full-system failure in our structure of work affects everything. We’ll discuss solutions and the research from Brigid’s new book Over Work: Transforming the Daily Grind in The Quest for a Better Life. You’ll learn:

  • What’s causing this full-system failure, 
  • The impact of putting humans first in how work is conceived
  • The three things all people need for “good work.”
