About the episode

With Australians spending about one third of time at the workplace, it's clear that maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships with colleagues and managers is essential to our wellbeing. How is it then that Aussies are reporting the the second-highest rating of stress in the workplace in global reports? As Gen Z workers across the world are revolutionising workplace culture by saying no to workplace bullying and overtime working, how do young Chinese Australians navigate workplace relationships - or ‘guanxi’ in the Chinese context - while protecting themselves? In this episode, Wing Kuang and Dennis Fang spoke to two Gen Z corporate hacks to dive into the art of guanxi in Australia. You'll hear hot takes and tips from Cathy, a former Chinese international student now working for several multinational corporations, and Joe, a Chinese-Australian engineer-turned-data analyst.
