From hybrid work hiccups to the turbulence in DEI initiatives, 2024 has been a whirlwind for HR and workplace culture. In this special year-end wrap-up of The Elephant in the Org, Danny, Marion, and Cacha reflect on the defining “elephants” of the year.

We’re diving into the challenges that shaped the workplace, sharing key lessons from the year’s most heated debates, and unpacking how companies can avoid repeating their mistakes in 2025. Plus, we reveal what trends we’re most excited (and wary) about heading into the new year.
