TORONTO — Rogers Communications announced today the launch of a new podcast, For the Love of Work, which it calls “a practical guide to the modern employee experience”.
Hosted by Dr. Sonia Kang (pictured), professor of organizational behaviour at the University of Toronto, this seven-episode podcast series explores themes central to a winning employee experience such as resilience, the importance of inclusion and diversity, values and meaning, and psychological safety.
For the Love of Work also examines workplace challenges in the wake of a pandemic, such as how to stand out, how to learn and develop your career, and how to find the right role for you — all while working and collaborating virtually, says the Rogers press release announcing the podcast.
“It’s important that people love what they do and feel good about themselves while doing it,” said Kang, who is also the Canada Research Chair in Identity, Diversity and Inclusion, in the release. “Through this podcast, we want to provide a playbook for people to leverage as they navigate through the changing ways of working, especially this year. We don’t shy away from the important conversations that need to be had either, like whether your company actually acknowledges inclusion and diversity, and how to decide whether your values truly meet those of your workplace.”
In each episode, Kang speaks with leading experts across North America, including Avery Francis, Katy Milkman and Jacob Morgan, to dig into the behavioural science behind core elements of the employee experience. The podcast offers advice and tools for listeners in any stage of their career, from a graduate looking for their first role, to a tenured employee looking to fall back in love with their work, says the release.
For the Love of Work has been produced in partnership with Rogers Sports & Media’s Pacific Content. The podcast is available on Apple, Google Play and Spotify podcasts.
