Anxiety, Adaptability & Authentic Communication

In this episode, Chuck and Jenni explore the challenges for HR teams in 2025, whether the term Adaptability Quotient (AQ) is a buzzword or a real focus for leaders and the latest data in the Return to Office (RTO) mandate. They get spicy with conversations about data and metrics while questioning whether everyone is worried about work or if it’s how we are being made to feel by the constant reports in the media. 

They uncover more cultural difference in vehicle regulations and themed parties while they discuss the importance of understanding happiness…. and the future of Las Vegas! 

Through their conversation, they emphasize the importance of aligning organizational strategies with employee engagement and the need for effective communication in addressing workplace concerns.
