    Why we're still lonely at work, with Dr. Connie Hadley

    Welcome to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning psychology podcast brought to you by the HubSpot Podcast Network. In this episode, hosts Leanne Elliott and Al Elliott sit down with Dr. Connie Hadley, organizational psychologist and researcher, to discuss a critical issue facing today’s workforce - loneliness in the hybrid workplace. Contrary to popular belief, Dr. Hadley’s latest research shows that hybrid work may not be the leading cause of loneliness at work. Instead, the episode highlights the true drivers of workplace loneliness and offers practical strategies for leaders to foster stronger connections within their teams. Key Topics Discussed: Misconceptions About Hybrid Work and Loneliness Dr. Hadley challenges the widely held belief that hybrid or remote work automatically leads to feelings of isolation. Instead, she explains how company culture, leadership practices, and organizational support systems play a much bigger role in determining whether employees feel connected or lonely. The Role of Leadership and Culture One of the major takeaways is how leaders can create environments that minimize loneliness, regardless of the work setting. Dr. Hadley discusses the importance of leadership engagement and the value of fostering a high-trust culture to ensure employees feel seen, heard, and valued. Practical Solutions for Combatting Loneliness The episode is packed with actionable tips for managers and HR professionals to implement within their own organizations. Dr. Hadley shares her research-backed strategies, including social opportunities like virtual team lunches and casual conversations during meetings, to help strengthen team bonds even when working remotely. Measuring Loneliness in the Workplace Dr. Hadley has also created a Self-Assessment Tool that employees and companies can use to measure workplace loneliness. By identifying feelings of isolation early, organizations can take proactive steps to enhance the social well-being of their teams.

Segment 1: News Roundup October Theory – The New Year Reset in Autumn Leanne introduces us to the concept of October Theory, a trend gaining traction on social media where influencers are treating October as a reset month for setting new goals. The October Theory Finding Purpose After Burnout – Lessons from Suneel Gupta Al highlights an article from CNBC featuring Suneel Gupta, who sold his wellness company for $20 million but still felt burnt out and unhappy.

Dr. Tang argues that individual burnout solutions, like stress management workshops, are only half the battle. Real change comes from fixing the systemic issues within the workplace. She advocates for a psychosocial safety approach, similar to physical health and safety practices, where the focus is on preventing the root causes of burnout, rather than treating symptoms.

    Do childless bosses lack empathy? PLUS Gen-Z salary demands and Sonia Thompson’s Hot Take on Inclusion

    Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning psychology podcast brought to you by the HubSpot Podcast Network. If you love hearing how organisations, big and small, have built amazing workplace cultures, then our Thursday episodes are for you. But today, it’s all about the Weekly News Roundup, Hot Takes, and of course, the famous Workplace Surgery, where we answer your burning workplace questions. Segment 1: News Roundup Salary Transparency and Gen Z Talent Leanne dives into a major shift: salary transparency is becoming crucial for attracting Gen Z talent. A new survey reveals that 85% of Gen Z workers are less likely to apply for a job if the salary isn’t listed. Read the full article. Childless Bosses: Lacking Empathy? Al discusses controversial new research that questions whether childless bosses lack empathy. Read more. EDITOR'S NOTE: On publication of the episode, the author of the article, Soulaima Gourani, contacted us and asked us to clarify the article "raised a question for discussion but didn't conclude that moms or dads are better leaders.". We believe our discussion reacted to the content of the article and the arguments presented by several sources that suggested leaders lack empathy if they are child-free. The author asked the question: Does Parenthood Make Better Bosses? Or reaction presented our arguments as to why we think 'no'. We do not, however, want anyone featured in an episode of Truth, Lies and Work to feel misrepresented or unfairly treated. We invited the author on to the show to set the record straight and/or to provide a written statement for inclusion in the show notes. Both invitations have, to date, been declined. Cynicism's Impact on Leadership Leanne explores a new study on cynicism and its detrimental effect on leadership. Read more. Segment 2: Hot Takes This week’s Hot Take comes from Sonia Thompson, inclusive marketing consultant and host of the Inclusion and Marketing Podcast. Sonia’s bold insight? Stop expecting people to assimilate. Brands and employers need to embrace diversity by acknowledging differences and creating environments where everyone feels they belong—without having to change who they are. Sonia shares her thoughts on why inclusion is more than just a buzzword; it's a necessity for the future of work and marketing. Segment 3: Weekly Workplace Surgery Leanne answers listener questions: Defining Company Values in a Growing Team A founder is feeling the pressure to define core values for a growing team ahead of an all-hands retreat. ce. Fear of Change in Family Business Succession A business owner is worried that handing over control to his daughter and her partner will lead to drastic changes in the company’s traditional values. Fostering Culture in a Remote Team A CEO of a global marketplace is struggling to maintain a cohesive company culture with a remote team spread across four continents.

    A.I. Managers, Diversity Backlash, and Phill Agnew’s Hot Take on Hard Work – This Week in Work, 1st October 2024

    Welcome to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning psychology podcast brought to you by the HubSpot Podcast Network. Join hosts Leanne Elliott, business psychologist, and Al Elliott, business owner, as they bring you the latest news and insights shaping the world of work. Today, it’s all about the Weekly News Roundup, New Voices, and of course, our World-Famous Weekly Workplace Surgery, where we tackle your questions with practical advice. Segment 1: News Roundup The UK's "Accidental Managers" Leanne kicks off by discussing a shocking statistic: 82% of UK managers are “accidental managers” promoted based on technical skills rather than leadership ability. The lack of formal training for these individuals is wreaking havoc on workplace culture and employee turnover, costing the UK economy billions. AI Taking Over Managerial Roles? Al delves into a BBC article about the rise of AI in management, exploring whether AI agents can replace human bosses. While AI managers are helping small businesses streamline operations and reduce stress, concerns remain about AI lacking the empathy needed for effective leadership. The Diversity Dilemma Leanne introduces a recent Journal of Experimental Psychology study that reveals a concerning finding: pro-diversity messaging might actually backfire. The study shows that White conservative participants were more likely to favor White candidates after seeing pro-diversity messages. Segment 2: New Voices In this segment, we launch a brand-new series called Hot Takes, where thought leaders and influencers offer their boldest insights into the world of work. This week’s guest is Phill Agnew, a behavioural science expert and host of the UK’s number one marketing podcast, Nudge. Phill dives into the truths and lies of work, sharing his research-backed hot take on how hard work and effort are what employees value most. Segment 3: Weekly Workplace Surgery Leanne tackles three listener questions: Underperforming Long-Term Employee A senior account manager, once a star performer, is now underperforming. Despite informal chats and extra support, there's been no improvement. The business owner is torn between loyalty and the need to protect client relationships. Work-Life Balance in Accounting A partner at a mid-sized accounting firm is concerned about burnout despite offering flexible working hours. With client demands high during tax season, how can they maintain a competitive edge while improving work-life balance? Boosting Engagement in a Non-Profit The director of a small environmental non-profit is struggling to keep employees engaged without a budget for perks or team-building activities. Support with Mental Health and Well-being If you’ve been affected by any of the themes in this episode or are struggling with your mental health, the following resources may be helpful: UK: Mind offers mental health support and information.
