Listen "Debate: Workers' Safety in the DevOps Factory"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textWhen dealing with DevOps, it’s close to impossible to avoid coming across the history that goes back to factories producing goods. Back in time, factories weren’t exactly the safest places in the world, and sometimes people had to work to their paycheck with the fear of getting injured Luckily this is not the case for IT workers - at least in the physical sense - but a lot is to be said about improving the IT workers' well-being overall.In our Grand Debate series, we invited Ester Daniel Ytterbrink -DevOps Consultant, Nina Maria Figueiredo - Talent Acquisition & Development Manager, and Boris Schulz - DevOps Lead to talk about protecting workers' safety in the DevOps factory. It’s an intriguing conversation varying between gamification and psychological safety, but also share insights on how middle management can make a safer workplace for their dev and ops teams.Literature referenced in the episode:- Jane McGonigal: Reality is Broken: https://janemcgonigal.com/my-book/- The struggle of the little mermaid: https://www.chocolatedrivendevelopment.com/post/diversity-and-psychological-safety-the-struggle-of-the-little-mermaid- Burnout is everyone's problem: https://podcasts.apple.com/dk/podcast/worklife-with-adam-grant/id1346314086?i=1000468645838- Term: Self-efficacy: https://albertbandura.com/albert-bandura-self-efficacy.html- Term: Agency: https://albertbandura.com/albert-bandura-agency.html- Fearless organization: https://fearlessorganization.com/- GTD: https://gettingthingsdone.com/- Procedural Justice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_justice#In_relation_to_communication
