The WorthTheWork’s Podcast
Worth The Work is a podcast for People leaders, by a People leader. Honest conversations about engagement, culture, leadership, and modern work — without the polish, the performance, or the predictable takes. Hosted by Courtni Hughes-Bochenek, a People & Culture executive with 16+ years of experience building, modernizing, and leading enterprise HR functions, Worth The Work explores what it actually means to lead People work in this moment. Through change. Through AI. Through reductions. Through growth. Through everything that makes our work meaningful and complicated. This is the show for anyone who cares about People work — whether you build it, lead it, or are on the receiving end of it. CHROs, CPOs, People leaders, managers, HR practitioners, and the executives who partner with them. If you have ever wondered what it actually takes to build organizations where people can do their best work, this conversation is for you. We do not have all the answers. We are not here to pretend we do. What we are committed to is the real conversation about what it takes to lead well, build well, and care for the people doing the work alongside us.

Episode 1 is the manifesto. Host Courtni Hughes-Bochenek introduces Worth The Work — why she's building it, what to expect every week, and the question that will anchor every episode: what is actually worth the work? Includes a brief, honest reflection on the unexpected loss of her father six months ago and how that loss sharpened what she wants to say with the time she has.
