This week on Tapod, Bonnie kicks Craig to the curb as we welcome Sophie Hirst—Gen Z career coach, former Google marketing manager, TikTok creator, and founder at Work Baby. You might know Soph from her brilliant podcast, Biz, on the Mamamia network. Beginning her career as a magician’s assistant in Japan (yes, you heard right), Soph’s career is so interesting. From fails in the workplace to presenting the real stats on Gen Z, Soph’s insights bring clarity to generational misnomers and how to navigate 5 generations in the office.

This week on Tapod we sit down for a special episode with Michael De Graaf—Global Head of Talent at Workday. It’s not often we get to talk to someone from a talent team who uses their own solution (customer zero). Mike is as close as you can get to the product, and we get an opportunity to understand how Workday test and trial. We also touch on acquisitions and how solutions integrate or stand alone. It’s a very interesting discussion that will benefit every talent leader.
