In this episode, JoDee and Susan discuss playing games at work with Alex Suchman, CEO and co-founder of BarometerXP.

• Why many people are resistant to the idea of games and play at work
• Why you should bring more play into the workplace
• The best kinds of games to play with colleagues
• How games can complement other learning and development initiatives
