Gossip in the workforce, so many of us do it, but why? What purpose does it serve? Tune in this week as your hosts look at why we gossip and how gossiping can affect the workplace. Is gossip always bad? They also discuss when you feel the need to gossip, what some alternatives to gossiping are, and, if you must do it, tips on what less harmful gossip could look like. This is a topic that can make a workplace where we all spend so much time toxic, yet hard to avoid. Tune in and share your take on gossip, Sausers!

This week's episode is all about connections at work. Now, we are not talking finding your best friend at work, more so the importance of connecting, enjoying and having mutual respect with your coworkers. Post Pandemic, 43% of workers in America are saying they do not feel a sense of connection with co-workers. You may read this and think I am now remote, my lifestyle has changed, I can't meet up with coworkers and I have my own social circle. Tune into this week, because your hosts, Molly & Liz talk about why connection and the feeling of connected at work is just that important.
