For the Love of Work™

Made Possible by Rogers

For the Love of Work returns for season two at a pivotal moment in the world of work as teams begin to adjust to the new realities of the modern workplace; from home, in the office, or both. The challenges are unique, but so are the opportunities to level up, open new doors and build a meaningful career.

Season two of For the Love of Work expands its season one focus on the “employee experience” and dives deep into the notion of growth and leadership. Gen Z and Millenials are taking over the workplace and soon, they’ll be leading and managing teams of their own. To be successful, they’ll need to lean on the right experts who will hand them the right tools to build on the wide skillsets they developed as team members and make a real impact as strong leaders. As told with practical tips and engaging stories, a consistent theme this season is the idea that leadership can come from anywhere.

 Episode 1: From Surviving to Thriving

Resilience is the ability to rebound, recover and learn from unexpected challenges and uncomfortable change. But how do you just magically become resilient? Host Dr. Sonia Kang explores new approaches to gaining resilience within the employee experience, while dealing with the massive workplace disruption of a global pandemic.

 Episode 2: Leaning Into Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging

In this episode, we explore how you can contribute to a welcoming environment of diversity, inclusion and belonging. How to identify systemic racism. How to tell if a progressive company is addressing it properly. How to recognize and confront one’s own unconscious biases. And how to be an ally to colleagues from underrepresented groups.

 Episode 3: The Employee Experience is a Relationship. How To Land At The Right Company

Finding the job that ticks all the right boxes can seem like an impossible task. But what if you’re not looking for the right things? Host Dr. Sonia Kang takes a deep dive into the employee experience to uncover the criteria that helps you determine the right companies, the right tools, and the right people for advancing your career.

 Episode 4: How Do I Stand Out?

The number-one concern of new employees we spoke to, among those entering their first or second job, was knowing how to stand out in order to advance their career. But this is not just a challenge for young workers. Mid to senior career employees can experience the same issue, feeling stuck at work, due to anxiety, introversion or a lack of confidence.

 Episode 5: How to Make Better Mistakes

Psychological safety is the belief that you can bring your whole self to work, and speak up with ideas and feedback – as well as make mistakes – without fear of punishment. But, how do you do that if you don’t trust your boss or your co-workers?

 Episode 6: How to Grow and Learn at Work

Professional development is a major priority for employees new and older, but it can be a difficult maze to navigate when you’re new at a company. In this episode, we teach you how to get “teached”.

 Episode 7: Creating Meaning at Work

How do you find meaning at work? Is it about loving the tasks you have to do each day – or is it more about your outlook? Is it about following your dreams and making your work your life – or following the dollar signs and living for the weekend?

 Announcing Season 2!

This season we’re back with six brand new episodes that explore the changing nature of leadership in a post pandemic world. Made Possible by Rogers, For the Love of Work launches on Monday, September 20.

 Episode 1: Taking the Lead

Getting that first manager role is a huge accomplishment. But wait, do you know how to lead a team? The majority of first time managers don’t receive enough training to succeed and lead their team.

 Episode 2: The Reinvention Mindset

Time away from the office during the pandemic has given people a chance to cultivate new interests and consider new career goals. As they return to the office, the question is what do you want to pursue?

 Episode 3: The Employee Influence

Anyone can create meaningful change at work, even you. Yes, you! You don’t need “positional authority” in order to practice leadership. Even if you’re not a CEO or a senior manager — the secret is learning how to wield influence.

 Episode 4: The Art of Listening

Emotional intelligence is the ability to read emotions in yourself and those around you, then adjust your behaviour accordingly. This is the superpower of listening. But it isn’t something that happens automatically.

 Episode 5: The Power of Belonging

In this episode, we will explore the key elements of building a culture of belonging in your team, how to work against bias, the pitfalls of being an insider, and how to be an ally.

 Episode 6: Hybrid. Team. Work.

When companies began designing hybrid workplaces, they came to an unexpected discovery… managers would now be responsible for two employee experiences — remote and in-office. Both at the same time. From one location to another.
