SHRM All Things Work

This week: A special episode from SHRM’s weekly Honest HR podcast on a topic impacting workers, leaders, and HR alike! The silent threat in today’s workplaces isn’t “quiet quitting,” or people doing the bare minimum in their job. It’s employees who stay but feel stuck, burned out, and are silently disengaging. Jared Pope, a benefits and employment law attorney and the CEO of Work Shield, joins host Marjorie Morrison, SHRM’s executive in residence for mental health, to discuss this troubling phenomenon — tackling everything from early warning signs and toxic culture to the benefits of wellness programs.

Today on All Things Work, SHRM’s Tony Lee is joined by journalist Susan Milligan to discuss the rise of the gig economy and what it means to be a gig worker.
