Bringing your ’whole self’ to work

Evan Davis and guests discuss the pros and cons of a workplace culture in which employees are encouraged to share their personal beliefs, politics and vulnerabilities with colleagues. What impact does it have on employee satisfaction and business productivity? And, at a time of great political and cultural polarisation, how do you prevent the ‘whole self’ ethos stirring up trouble?
