The team continues the discussion on Gallup’s five essential elements with the focus on physical wellbeing. Physical wellbeing does not mean looking like the epitome of physical fitness and being free of disease. Rather, it can be boiled down to managing one’s health that allows us to have energy to get through the day without undue fatigue or physical stress. The team discusses what incremental changes employees can make to foster better physical wellbeing.

What can employers do to combat the Great Resignation? Continuing the discussion on Career Wellbeing, the team explores why employees are leaving their jobs and what employers can do to improve retention.

To dive a little deeper into whole health care, the team explores one of Gallup’s five essential elements of wellbeing: Career Wellbeing. With the uptick in stress, burnout in the workplace is becoming more prevalent, affecting over 75% of employees who report feeling burnt out at work some of the time. The team discusses the factors leading to burnout and how employers can support employees and address the causes to prevent burnout.

Committing to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEI&B) is not about having a feel-good story; it’s not even about being an employer of choice. DEI&B is about the success of your business and, quite frankly, doing the right thing. The world is changing and prioritizing having a diverse, equitable and inclusive organization where every employee, at every level of the organization, knows they can bring their whole self to work is key.

Employers were not prepared for the sudden consumer-level debut of large language model (LLM) programs such as ChatGPT. As these types of products become increasingly popular, many corporations have opted for an outright ban on their use in the workplace. Others have adopted a more lenient philosophy and permitted their employees to tap into these programs in the hopes of realizing significant productivity gains. In this episode, we put two lawyers and compliance experts head-to-head to debate the finer points of these two disparate approaches.

Some of the big questions that our debaters tackle in this episode are listed below:

• How do you respond to concerns about biases and inaccuracies in AI writing? Should all AI-generated materials need to be proofread by a human?
• In the long run, is it practical for employers to regulate this type of tool?
• How do data privacy and security concerns fit into this conversation? Is it possible that AI programs could acquire and disseminate confidential employer information?
• Even if these tools become exponentially better in the years ahead, are there some tasks that should absolutely never be replaced by AI?
