Episodes
The U.S. Supreme Court’s latest term is sending shockwaves through the workplace. In this episode, Jen walks you through key employment-related rulings—from religious accommodations to free speech challenges—and what they mean for hiring, policies, and workplace culture. You’ll get practical compliance advice with zero legalese. If you don’t have time to read 100 pages of opinions, we’ve got you covered.
Jen has talked about “quiet quitting,” but what’s an employer to do when the work is technically getting done—just with zero initiative, collaboration, or care? In this episode, Jen explores the legal boundaries of managing checked-out employees without crossing into retaliation, disability discrimination, or morale implosion. This one’s for every leader who’s tired of “just enough” effort and wants to raise the bar legally.
Artificial intelligence is everywhere—from resume screening to productivity tracking—but what happens when the tech gets it wrong? In this episode, Jen dives into the legal minefield of algorithmic bias, EEO compliance, and employer liability.
