PODCAST EPISODE #23

Having An Open Marriage Philosophy At Work

“Every generation pays its dues, but the currencies are different.”

There’s more where that came from in this week’s episode, featuring Leslie Hayes, President of the Hayes Approach. A leader in the HR space for over 15 years, Leslie and her team have a unique lens to the workforce development challenges our workplaces are experiencing. From her take on the dynamic shift that will take place soon due to most of the workforce in similar life-phases (think: marriage, buying first homes, etc.), to the important discussion we had on the drastic decline we have seen in young men leaving the workforce – particularly in STEM fields, education, and healthcare, Leslie’s take is one you don’t want to miss. One of our favorite parts of this episode is her approach on an “Open Marriage” philosophy in the workplace, and the concept of “not all shoe sizes fit everyone”. You’ll have to listen to this episode to learn what she means!
