Listen "Revolutionizing work with “Workstyle” - with Lizzie Penny and Alex Hirst"
Episode Synopsis
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”.CHAPTERS00:04:50 Sensitivity informs the journey00:07:49 Shift to output value00:11:52 A taste of autonomy - the heart of the revolution00:16:18 Flexible work is our nemesis00:21:51 How do we contract this kind of work?00:27:15 Building trust00:31:16 Give people what they want along with structure to get things done00:32:48 Structure?
