The relationship between employees and employers is fundamentally changing. The integration of work and life has never been more in focus. Making work better for employees is no longer a wish list item; it is imperative for competitive advantage. So who is leading the way here, and are we seeing a short term trend or a permanent shift?\n\nTo help answer these questions, my guest this week is Scott Behson, a professor of management at Fairleigh Dickinson University. Scott has recently published a book called The Whole Person Workplace, which explores how employers are building better workplaces by focusing on Work-Life, Wellness and Employee Support.\n\nIn the interview, we discuss:\n\nWhat is the whole person workplace?\n\nRethinking work\n\nWhat are leading employers doing\n\nFlexibility and trust\n\nSmall companies versus large companies\n\nThe growing power and influence of employees\n\nWorkers whose roles are tied to time and place\n\nWhat could the future look like\n\n\nListen to this podcast on Apple Podcasts.
