What happens when businesses forget that their employees are human?
In this episode, we’re talking about workplace culture, parental rights, and why companies are quietly rolling back their commitments to inclusivity and employee well-being.
My guest, Glen Wood, knows firsthand what happens when a company gets it wrong – after being fired for taking paternity leave, he took on the system and became a symbol for workplace reform in Japan where is still known to this day as ‘The Father of Japan’.
Today, he’s sharing what he’s learned about how companies can actually build cultures that work – for their people and their bottom line.
We get into:
- The real reason companies are retreating from DEI initiatives
- Why treating employees fairly is good business, not just good PR
- How leaders can create workplaces where people want to stay and succeed
If you’ve ever felt like work is demanding too much and giving too little, or if you’re a leader looking for ways to do things better – this one’s for you.
