Jennifer Loh Drysdale-Banks, organisational performance adviser and executive coach at recruitment firm Talent Merge, joins the Breakfast Show to look at how employees can have clearer conversations around workload and why consistently saying yes may be shaping expectations in ways people don’t always realise.
