Corporate Lingo That Should Be BANNED Immediately!

Описание: Do you SPEAK Corporate?

In this episode of The Working Week with entrepreneur Ben Askins, be sure to brace yourselves for some ‘blue sky thinking’, as Ben ‘circles back’ to his roots and asks: What 5 corporate clichés should be banned from the workplace ‘with immediate effect?’

Because in a world where 58% of working professionals globally feel their fellow colleagues overuse work jargon - and nearly half of them saying they’d eliminate corporate speak entirely because deciphering their meanings “causes stress and slows down productivity” - just why are we still doing it? Plus, where did these phrases even originate from in the first place, how do we stop them being such a barrier and how on earth should you respond to one when it’s aimed in your direction?

Whether you’re an employee sick and tired of “touching base” and going for “deep dives”, or you’re a boss who needs to stop referring to his employees as “family”, this one’s for you. You’ll also get Ben’s best advice for businesses, companies and careers, and a few laughs along the way!
