You're starting a new job but you don't have what you need, or you certainly feel like you don't!

Why is this such a universal experience and why are employers so happy to leave people to sink or swim? 

We dive in to the good, the bad and the ugly of onboarding and try to figure out how we can be doing it better, for bosses and for workers. 

Lisa also checks in with the Australian HR Institute about new research showing the global "job hugging" trend has arrived on our shores. 

Guests: 

Dr Talya Bauer - Professor of Management at Portland State University 

Sarah McCann-Bartlett - Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of the Australian HR Institute

Join Lisa Leong and other This Working Lifers as we experiment and explore the latest in the world of work.
 

We cover policy issues, like hybrid workplaces and remote work, employee wellbeing and organisational culture, the use of AI, employee surveillance, employee engagement, diversity and inclusion. We talk about progress on wider issues that relate to work, like work life balance, organisational change, restructures, and casualisation. On This Working Life our focus is on everything related to the people in a workplace too, including culture, individual experiences, performance management and career advice.
