Episode Summary:

In this episode of The Glass Sessions, Courtney and Lauren unpack the idea of “job hugging” - when employees stay in their current roles not because they love the work, but because the job market feels too uncertain to make a change.

They share personal stories and dig into the hidden costs of job hugging: missed earnings, lack of engagement, and a culture that quietly slips into complacency. Together, they explore how to recognize if you (or your team) might be clinging to a role for the wrong reasons, and what to do about it.

Listeners will walk away with strategies to re-ignite career growth and team energy, including:

• • How to use continuing education benefits wisely
  • Ways to spark engagement through fresh opportunities
  • Aligning personal development goals with company objectives
  • Tips for leaders to balance healthy attrition with a thriving culture

  Whether you’re an employee wondering if you’re stuck, or an employer wanting to keep your team engaged, this episode offers practical advice to navigate uncertainty with clarity and confidence.
