Ep 342: Trust & Accountability

Trust at work has been in the news a lot recently. Whether it's Zoom fatigue caused by too many pointless meetings, employers using software to spy on employees in their own homes or forced returns to the office, it is clear that our new world of work still doesn't sit comfortably with some employers. So how should we be thinking about trust at work now, and does rethinking our whole approach to accountability hold some of the answers on how we move forward? My guest this week is Carolyn Taylor, a global thought leader on corporate culture change.
