This year is all about doubling down on retaining and developing our existing talent. This involves so many elements – employee engagement, creating a better employee experience – and many times this can boil down to the role of the manager.

And how do we help train existing managers to become better managers – and more empathetic managers?

Employees look to corporations for more accountability, more transparency, and more action than ever before. So how do we as People Leaders respond?  This week on the podcast, we unpack the playbook of radical transparency with Glassdoor’s Chief People Officer Danny Guillory.
