I'm loving the People Purpose Podcast! I listen to an episode on my way into work every day, and it really gets me ready to take on the day. I think each episode has valuable information and would be great for my managers to listen to so they can understand HR a little better!

I trust The Workforce Institute to deliver valuable perspectives on all kinds of HR issues… from how to provide flexibility for my front-line workers to helping with the Zoom burnout my remote workers are feeling. Their board includes experts from a variety of back-grounds and industry verticals, soI’m not just getting one person’s recommendations or insights.
