Special episode: how work and workplaces...

THE KEN
About this episode

In this special episode of Cost to Company, the tables turn. Snigdha interviews CTC hosts Sneha and Shreevar about how work and workplaces have changed in the last thirty weeks. The short version: they’ve changed dramatically.

This episode is the long version of that answer. Sneha takes us into the evolving relationship between the employee and employer, into how power has shifted in response to larger shifts in the economy, just in the past seven months. And how that has changed the way we work. 

Shreevar talks about how careers have changed in response; and what a resilient, enduring career now looks like. 

If there’s one episode of CTC you listen to, this is it.
