    Aug 27 2025

Tune in for a thought-provoking look at how loyalty has evolved, where it’s heading next, and what modern leaders need to look out for.

    In this debut episode of The Office Hours Podcast, Courtney and Tristan unpack a growing trend in today’s workplaces: the connection between burnout and job-hopping.

    Whether you're a leader supporting your team or an employee navigating change, this episode offers actionable tools to help you create a healthier, more sustainable work life.
