📢 In this episode:

What do Pizza Pilgrims, Gen Z, and Duolingo have in common? They’re all part of the new wave of employee engagement — and Jonatan Marc Rasmussen is here to spill the gravy on how tech is finally catching up to what workers actually want.

Jonatan, CEO and co-founder of Old Gravy, joins Chris to talk about building a communication platform that doesn’t make your team roll their eyes.

• Engagement stats that’ll make your ops team swoon

  Some companies are seeing 120 logins in the first 2 weeks — and not just for the banter. Employees want to connect and feel seen. This is how you build loyalty.
