Show Notes


In today’s episode:

  • There's been a shift this year in the language around layoffs. Companies aren't just unapologetic about cuts, but pointing to them as accomplishments in the AI era.
  • Transparency is a good thing. These decisions have always been happening--now that they're being made openly, employees can better prepare.
  • Leaders need to make tough decisions for the sake of the whole organization. Employees, in turn, aren't totally helpless--they'll be able to chart their own career paths, even after being laid off.

CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where we dissect the week's biggest news, unpack hot-button workplace trends, and bring you exclusive interviews with leaders who leverage culture to drive real business results.

John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura, joins Jessica every week to discuss the latest news in labor, employment, and workplace culture by asking each other the question: 'What Are You Paying Attention To Now?'
