- Episode: 76
A study that tracked every worker and company in Denmark for 25 years found that the gender pay gap at a firm narrowed when a male manager had his first daughter. Chuck thinks the data holds up, and finds that depressing. Jenni doesn’t buy the causation at all.
That argument opens episode 76, recorded with Jenni just back from a week in Boston and Chuck on the road in Omaha ahead of Unite in London. From there, the pair move to a union “watch list” allegation at the maker of Grand Theft Auto, why the CEO shouldn’t be the face of every message, and whether AI really deserves the blame for bland internal comms.

The CEO of an AI company has told his 200-plus employees he’d rather see the D+ version of their thinking than five polished pages of AI fluff, and that every customer email should be written by a human. Chuck likes the rough draft. He does not like the D+.
Jenni brings five stories this week, a first for the show, and they share a theme: the tools got faster and the talking got harder. Patrick Lencioni on overcommunicating clarity. Stephen Waddington’s mid-year report on the state of corporate communications, tested against the US. New Predictive Index data on how ready managers really are for tough conversations. And Priya Parker’s claim that Slack turbocharged workplace conflict, which prompts Jenni’s fair question: why Slack, when Yammer was first?
Frequency is smart, insightful, and refreshingly conversational
“Chuck and Jenni have a knack for breaking down big internal comms and employee engagement topics into relatable, actionable takeaways – without the jargon.
Every episode feels like a chat with two seasoned friends who’ve been in the trenches and want you to succeed. Whether you’re new to the field, or a long-time practitioner, you’ll leave with ideas you can put into practice right away.”
