On each episode, each guest will be asked to provide the P word that best aligns with how they’re thinking about their work at the moment. That way, listeners get a different perspective on People work each time they tune in!
Here are the facts:
50% of people quit due to burnout
87% of companies say that retention is a concern
94% of leaders believe future of work initiatives are important
Yet a recent Boston Group report found that less than 20% of surveyed companies reported setting these initiatives to increase employee retention as priorities on their CEO agenda.
It’s through research like this and her own practical experience that Gabby discovered the harsh realities a lack of wellness and a toxic workplace can bring about. In the first episode she states “If an individual knows their self care routine and knows what they need but they exist in a toxic work environment, no self care can save them. No self care can save them. They have to leave or they are going to burnout.”
What does this all mean? Well, it brings to light the fact that the People are a Priority, so People Professionals need to be equipped with tools to best support their staff in order to increase employee well-being, retention, and inclusion.
With the creation of this podcast, Gabby does not promise a plug and chug solution to the burnout professionals often experience due to the workplace.
Instead, she helps break down the complexities that exist in People work and navigates ways of moving towards the future of this space for the next generation of workplace professionals.
