The future of work is no longer a distant dream. The future of work is today\u2019s reality.

Changes to the nature of work and organizations\u2019 fundamentals are finally starting to create space for women and those sitting at the margins.

In this episode, I talk with Gina Hadley, head and co-founder of The Second Shift, who was part of the freelance economy before the term even existed. Gina\u2019s mission is to revolutionize working cultures to support and retain women\u2014including mothers\u2014by demonstrating how even small changes ripple into huge impact toward creating a more sustainable workplace.

Gina, however, is not making just small ripples; she\u2019s inspiring huge waves in the world of work. Throughout our conversation, Gina shares her insights into why companies with strict rules and regulations must undergo stark transformation to regain the talent\u2019s trust. She also shares specific strategies around how companies can get the best out of diverse teams without making them feel like inmates trapped in a prison.

It all comes down to giving good work, creating a safe environment, providing adequate flexibility, and empowering the talent.
