About this episode
The poles have never been further apart when it comes to employer vs employee expectations. Can HR help fix the problem?
Welcome to the first episode of the I Hate It Here podcast. Kicking off the season, Hebba Youssef, Head of People at Workweek, gets into conversation at a live event, with David Garcia, President of New Stand, and passionate campaigner for wellbeing at work.
Hebba and David dive into creating psychologically safe spaces, monitoring your own (and others’) emotional states, and how to manifest well-being as part of your company’s culture.
The pair throw open the floor for a live Q&A session from listeners, tackling the kinds of topics you were too afraid to talk about.
