In Episode 65 we are joined by Dr. Elisabeth Stelson who talked about a recent paper (Stelson, Dash, McCorkell, Wilson, Assaf, Re’em, and Wei) that examined what it’s like to have long COVID and try to return to the workplace. So many important and powerful themes came up, but I was most struck by the fact that not only do we have a moral imperative to create systems and structures to support workers with disabilities, who want and need to work, but that it makes good business sense.

In Episode 64 we are joined by Dr. Zachary Mercurio who talked about a recent paper (Mercurio, Myles, Adams, & Clifton, 2023) that examined what it is that leaders do to help followers find their work meaningful. They created a really useful scale that workers and leaders alike can use to assess themselves or their leaders on six key groups of behaviors.
