Janice Omadeke is the seventh guest for Season 2 of Microsoft’s WorkLab podcast, in which host Elise Hu has conversations with economists, technologists, and researchers who explore the data and insights into why and how work is changing.

Three big takeaways from the conversation:

To go deeper into the theme of mentorship, we speak at the end of the episode with Sarah Haggard, founder and CEO of the peer-to-peer mentoring app Tribute, about how to help Gen Z workers build the social capital that many of them missed out on in the workplace.

WorkLab is a place for experts to share their insights and opinions. As students of the future of work, Microsoft values inputs from a diverse set of voices. That said, the opinions and findings of the experts we interview are their own and do not reflect Microsoft’s own research or opinions.

Follow the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Here’s a transcript of the Episode 7 conversation.
