How can we reinvent workplace transitions to create happier, more engaged teams?
In this compelling episode of the Happier at Work podcast, host Aoife O’Brien sits down with Robert Glazer, serial entrepreneur, leadership expert, and best-selling author, to rethink what it means to leave a job and how workplaces can better support transitions. Drawing from his latest book, “Rethinking Two Weeks Notice,” and years of building award-winning cultures, Robert shares fresh insights on why open conversations, root-cause analysis, and values alignment are vital for creating a people-first workplace.
In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
- The problems with “two weeks notice” and how a sports-contract mindset can foster more honest, supportive transitions.
- Why psychological safety is the foundation of all healthy workplace conversations, and simple ways to test and build it in your team.
- The root causes of underperformance and why addressing them early prevents toxic outcomes.
- Why employees should consider growth, values alignment, and engagement before making career decisions, and how leaders can support that journey.
