This episode touches on the theme of Strengthen Culture.

In this episode, we dig into some buzzwords, like Coffee Badging, Fauxductivity, and Bare Minimum Mondays, so James can rant about how lame they are. We also explore trends and terms that are starting to shine a spotlight on hidden issues impacting our workplaces, like:

• Culture Rot: The slow decline of a company's internal health due to a failure of leadership to trust employees or adapt to modern needs.
• Anti-Perks: Superficial office benefits (like free snacks) that employees now view as negative because they often mask systemic issues.
• Well-Being Washing: When organizations promote mental health initiatives for PR but do not provide meaningful support or sustainable workloads.
• Emotional Paycheck: Aspects such as recognition, purpose, and strong relationships that employees increasingly prioritize alongside their salary.

Our prescription for this episode is to avoid performative solutions and seek to address job dissatisfaction if you really want to make a difference in your workplace.

This episode touches on the theme of Practical Psychology.

In this episode, we explore some psychological concepts and principles that can help us better understand both those we work with and ourselves.

Coby walks us through these 3 concepts:

• The Halo/Horn Effect
• Negativity Bias
• Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory Of Motivation-Hygiene

Our prescription for this episode is to think critically about how these different theories impact our workplaces, our team members, and ourselves. Our workplace culture is shaped by a combination of factors; understanding where they come from is a good place to start.

This episode touches on the themes of Strengthen Culture and Developing Leaders.

In this episode, we explore the types of cultures and workplace norms that leave supervisors and managers feeling that they are powerless and/or their employees do not respect them.

Our prescription for this episode is to create strong, clear, and nuanced policies, then train your leaders and managers to effectively and consistently implement them.
