Episode 18
Revolutionizing work with “Workstyle” - with Lizzie Penny and Alex Hirst
The way we work had not been significantly redesigned in over 200 years despite massive cultural shift and technical advances. The pandemic forced change upon us and now that we have tasted autonomy and proven productivity does not suffer, redesign is on the table. While many organizations are embracing flexibility, hybrid, and remote work as a hiring advantage, Lizzie Penny and Alex Hirst say that it doesn’t go far enough. When they explain the number of people who are still left out of the workforce, you might find yourself agreeing. Tune in to learn more about how they suggest we “fundamentally redefine our psychological contract of work”.
