‘Busyness’ is increasingly seen as a badge of honour and productivity is regularly measured and rewarded at work. Despite all we now know about workplace stress, anxiety and burnout, we seem to be doing little to address the destructive pace at which we are living our lives. In this episode, Jen, Dom and Cat chat with Megan Reitz and John Higgins about their latest research, on the topic of spaciousness and how to find it.
As global stability deteriorates, anxiety is on the rise. Internal communicators must assimilate the wants, needs and expectations of increasingly diverse internal stakeholders.

This episode, Chris Lovett introduces the concept of workplace minimalism. His latest book Relentless is an elegy for simplifying work so that people can deliver better outcomes. For harried internal communicators, this is an episode not to be missed.
