Episode Synopsis
The Workplace Event's Workplace Leaders Top 50 awards are in their third year, and the Geeks were honoured, once again, to speak to the winners. Each of this year’s four special episodes feature small but perfectly formed chats with four winners.We start with the same questions for each guest and then see where the conversation takes us, learning about their career, how they got into the workplace sector, how it's changed, what it could do better, and what advice they have for new folks and those aspiring to advance their workplace careers.These are human stories, personal anecdotes and revealing conversations into what these amazing workplace champions are thinking.This third episode of the mini-series turns to the corporate side of things, featuring winners from corporate real estate, HR, and FM. The theme of customer and employee experience underpinning all the chats, in different ways. First, Emma Swinnerton from Cushman & Wakefield shares experience insights from a coworking and shared workspace and coworking perspective. Second, Maddie Hayes from JLL talks about embedding an experience culture througout delivery teams. Third, Sophie Robson from Sky explores how systemic DEI approaches can benefit the experience of all, and finally Christy Smith from IEM enthuses about the value of great FM!Huge thanks to Matt Fogg and MAKO Commercial Interiors for providing the booth at the show to enable us to record there. ☎️ Leave us a voicemail on the Workplace Geeks hotline.
