As many workers begin to return to the office, anxiety about reinstating “normalcy” is skyrocketing, and it is becoming increasingly apparent that many workplaces can’t just return to “normal.” Speaking with host Dan Moore, author, award-winning company culture expert, and SparkVision Founder MaryBeth Hyland tackles the challenges of reinstituting a supportive and mindful physical workplace, identifying and doubling down on core values in times of hardship, the simple math equation for measuring company culture, and having “permission to be human”.
