Welcome to the Inclusive AF Podcast! In our most recent episode, hosts Jackye Clayton and Katee Van Horn get real about what's happening in workplaces and in the world right now. From HR ethics scandals and employee morale drops to the impact of DEIB cuts and the increasing role of AI at work, we dive deep into the stories making headlines—and the ones that should be. We talk about: - Why recent public scandals (think high-profile affairs at work!) shake company culture - How the rollback of DEIB efforts and politicians' choices impact employees - The truth behind return-to-office mandates, layoffs, and plummeting morale scores (like Dell’s ENPS!) - How AI is changing daily work, what we’re missing in upskilling, and tools you should actually be using - The real-life effects of legislative attacks on LGBTQ+ and other marginalized communities - Why it’s so hard to feel good about your job when leadership’s values don’t match your own - Plus: Using fear, distraction, and power plays to keep people disengaged—and what we can do to push back We keep it honest, sometimes sassy, and always focused on how inclusivity, authenticity, and transparency can help us get through this wild year.
