Join us for this fun and enlightening conversation with Kendra Prospero and John Bartley, of Turning the Corner HR as we dig deep into WHY work dissatisfaction and burnout is so prevalent in our world today. Kendra and John share about their mission to end suffering in the workplace. They discuss what individuals, leaders and companies can do to improve satisfaction at work.

We discuss the interplay of responsibilities of workers, leaders, and businesses when it comes to developing work satisfaction and contentment. Kendra shares a moving story about how a values-focused work culture showed up in her own life, and why having a work community (no, we aren’t all a family) is so important. We talk about the biological components of burnout, and why that vacation to Hawaii isn’t going to fix your feelings of stress, exhaustion, and depletion.

We also talk about:

-the three factors that make individuals content in their work

-leadership and unconscious barriers that leaders can have that impact others

-the importance of mentorship, exploration, and discovery in the workplace

-the lack of training for managers, and how this impacts the managers, employees, and the bottom line

-the role of exchange between employee and employer, and why its more than just a paycheck

-how history and the attitudes of past generations have impacted cultural views and beliefs around suffering in the workplace
