The Elephant in the Org
The "Elephant in the Org" podcast is a daring dive into the unspoken challenges and opportunities in organizational development, particularly in the realm of employee experience. Hosted by the team at The Fearless PX, we tackle the "elephants" in the room—those taboo or ignored topics—that are critical for creating psychologically safe and highly effective workplaces.

The Boots Prescription? RTO is the Cure!

In the latest "Oh Sh*t! What's Happened Now?" bonus episode, we unwrap the sticky tape off a major headline: Boots, the UK pharmacy giant, is mandating a full five-day office return for its head office warriors. The hosts, Danny Gluch, Cacha Dora, and Marion Anderson, dissect this prescription for workplace presence, questioning whether it's the cure-all Boots believes it to be or if side effects may include a dose of public backlash and employee dissatisfaction.
With a blend of wit, skepticism, and insightful banter, the trio navigates the murky waters of returning to pre-pandemic work norms. They ponder on the necessity of a full-time return and its impact on the heralded work-life balance. Is Boots' move a step back in time or a leap forward in fostering team spirit? Tune in to this lively discussion that's more invigorating than your morning espresso shot as our hosts explore the changing dynamics of the workplace, the power of employee voice, and whether Boots' office amenities upgrade will be enough to sweeten the deal.
