Super Bowl Monday is not an HR Emergency

About this episode

On this episode of the Workplace Minute, Steve takes on one of the most predictable workplace headlines of the year: claims that the Super Bowl will cost U.S. employers billions in “lost productivity.” We break down why these studies are misleading at best, why time off and flexibility are not a crisis, and why the Super Bowl should be viewed as a shared cultural moment that can actually build connection, morale, and humanity at work.
