About this episode

Quit rates are up, burnout is rampant, and your boss wants you in the office five days a week. But Jennifer Moss says work doesn’t have to be this way. In today’s episode, Jessi Hempel and Jen unpack how we can create a better work culture.

Jen is an award-winning journalist, speaker, and workplace culture strategist. She is the author of six books on work and work culture. Her previous book, The Burnout Epidemic, came out in 2022 and her latest title Why Are We Here?: Creating a Work Culture Everyone Wants was released earlier this January.

Jen and Jessi discuss:

  • The three qualities at the foundation of a better work culture: hope, purpose, and community
  • How to deal with burnout
  • How to increase cognitive hope by celebrating small wins
  • DEI initiatives and how to foster a sense of belonging at work
  • The future of remote work
  • Return-to-office mandates and employee flexibility and autonomy
