Technology has made it easier than ever to stay connected, and harder than ever to truly connect, but we can’t just throw away our phones and stop monitoring our inboxes. So how might leaders hone the craft of helping their teams connect with purpose?  In the final episode of this season, Sachi speaks with workplace strategist Erica Keswin, author of the bestselling Human Workplace Trilogy. Sachi and Erica explore the thinking behind Bring Your Human to Work, The Retention Revolution, and Rituals Roadmap, as we uncover ways to be truly present in an increasingly distracting workplace.

​​Figuring out what our coworkers want from their working lives can sometimes feel impossible. Wants and needs are always shifting across career stages and generations and as the economy and politics drive change around us.  Jodi speaks with Zabeen Hirji, who is redefining retirement with her Purposeful Third Act movement, and Claudette McGowan, CEO and founder of the cybersecurity company, Protexxa. They both have had impactful careers in big banks before starting their own companies, and have hired, developed and coached coworkers at every stage in their career – so who better to answer the question, “what do employees really want?”     Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
