Welcome back to this week’s episode where we bring back our Global Denmark Podcast Alumni, Dennis Nørmark.

Dennis is a known anthropologist, commentator, consultant, and author of several books including Pseudo-work and his most recent, Back to work.

In this episode, we talk about what work value actually is, how organizations and individuals can navigate pseudo-work, how we can come back to a more meaningful work-life after the pandemic, and why it’s important for managers to return to a more Danish way of leading organizations.
