What's Happening at Work
What’s Happening at Work is a podcast for the professionals shaping today’s workplace from the inside.
Hosted by Joyce Odidison, President of Interpersonal Wellness Services Inc. and a trusted workplace resilience expert with 29 years of experience, the show is moving to bringing together HR leaders, safety officers, senior leaders, training and development practitioners, people and culture professionals, DEI leaders, and workplace experts to talk about the real issues affecting work today.
Each episode explores what these professionals are seeing inside organizations and how they are responding to burnout, conflict, workforce change, communication breakdowns, leadership pressure, psychological safety challenges, and the ongoing mental health strain affecting teams and workplaces.
Joyce is known for creating conversations that help guests shine. With deep expertise in workplace resilience, conflict, leadership, and behavior change, she draws out the practical wisdom, real-world insight, and valuable nuggets her guests bring, making each episode relevant for both established leaders and those rising into greater influence.
This is not a generic business podcast. It is a practical, insight-rich conversation space for the people helping organizations function better, support people better, and lead more effectively through change.
If you care about what is really happening at work and what it takes to build healthier, stronger, more resilient workplaces, this podcast is for you.
