    138. Fix the System, Not the People
    Feb 17 2026
    Workplace struggles for neurodistinct employees are rarely caused by a lack of talent. They’re caused by systems that create unnecessary friction and environments that were never designed for cognitive diversity. In this episode of Your Transformation Station, Grant Harris, MBA, CDE, examines why neurodiverse employees often face preventable barriers, how traditional performance models fail them, and the measurable organizational costs of burnout, disengagement, and turnover. The conversation clarifies the critical difference between accommodating individuals and redesigning systems, showing why training, perks, and surface‑level inclusion efforts often fail to improve engagement or retention. When workflows are misaligned, expectations unclear, or environments overloaded with friction, employees disengage — even in high‑performing teams. Key themes include: Why neurodistinct employees feel overwhelmed in high‑friction environments How outdated performance models fail to support cognitive diversity The link between poor workplace design, burnout, and turnover How system‑level redesign improves culture, retention, and performance This episode takes a diagnostic approach to neuroinclusive workplace strategy, focusing on outcomes, not sentiment. It’s for leaders, managers, and organizations serious about reducing burnout, improving retention, and building workplaces where every brain can thrive.

    137. AI at Work 2026: Why Adoption Has Stalled but Power Users Are Pulling Ahead
    Feb 17 2026
    AI isn’t sweeping across the workforce the way the hype promised — but something far more important is happening beneath the surface. Gallup’s newest national Workforce Study reveals a surprising shift: AI adoption has stalled, but AI mastery is accelerating. A small group of power users is pulling ahead while the rest of the workforce stands still. In this episode of Your Transformation Station, Gregory Favazza breaks down the latest Gallup data to uncover what’s really happening inside American organizations. You’ll learn: Why nearly half of U.S. workers still never use AI Why daily and frequent AI use continues to rise How leaders use AI 2× more than their teams Why remote‑capable roles are adopting AI at double the rate of on‑site workers Which industries are accelerating — and which are falling behind What employees actually use AI for (hint: it’s not coding) The #1 barrier stopping organizations from wider adoption Gregory also explains how Gallup collects this data, why it’s considered the gold standard for workforce insights, and what these trends mean for the future of work, leadership, and digital capability. If you want to understand the real state of AI in the workplace — beyond the hype — this episode gives you the clarity and data you need. Sources Gallup. (2025).

  • 136. Employee Appreciation Failure

    136. Employee Appreciation Failure
    Feb 10 2026
    Employee disengagement is rarely caused by a lack of recognition. It’s caused by employees feeling unappreciated. In this episode of Your Transformation Station, Dr. Paul White examines why employee appreciation at work is consistently misunderstood, how leaders misapply recognition programs, and the measurable organizational costs of disengagement, burnout, and turnover. The conversation clarifies the critical difference between employee recognition vs appreciation, showing why praise, perks, and compensation increases often fail to improve employee engagement or retention. When appreciation is generic, misaligned, or transactional, employees disengage — even in high-performing teams. Key themes include: Why employees feel unvalued despite positive feedback How recognition programs fail to drive motivation The link between lack of appreciation, workplace burnout, and turnover How misreading employee motivation erodes workplace culture This episode takes a diagnostic approach to employee appreciation strategies, focusing on outcomes, not sentiment. It’s for leaders, managers, and organizations serious about reducing burnout, improving employee retention, and correcting systemic disengagement.
