In this episode, we explore the stark contrast between the glowing reputation of "top companies to work for" and the unsettling reality many employees face.
Despite impressive awards and certifications, many workplaces fail to deliver on their promises of a supportive, healthy environment. We explore personal experiences, the concept of cultural debt, and the pitfalls of culture certifications.
Job seekers and current employees alike will learn to trust their instincts and ask the right questions to avoid falling for polished façades. Tune in to understand why a shiny badge doesn't always guarantee a healthy workplace.
