THE FLOORPLAN WITH LIBBY SANDER featuring Matt Webber

Season 1 Episode 1: Can we work from anywhere?

Can we really work from anywhere? In this first episode of THE FLOORPLAN, Dr Libby Sander and broadcaster Matt Webber ponder the covid pandemic as 'the great workplace disruptor'. Will there ever be any turning back for traditional office work now we've had workplace flexibility thrust upon us? Also, Libby talks to Alice Drew about her role as Head of Place Futures at Lendlease. What does a global corporate giant see in its workplace crystal ball?

The Floorplan will be a thorough and sometimes funny exploration of our attempts to navigate the modern workplace. 

Borrowing from case studies and ground-breaking research, The Floorplan will attempt to uncover what individuals and organisations can do to make the workplace experience better for everyone. 

Steven Spielberg says he wakes up so excited that he can’t eat breakfast. But for most of us, work is far less fulfilling. The way we design jobs and where we expect people to perform  can be dull at best and dehumanising at worst. 

Less than a third of workers worldwide are engaged, sociopathic leadership is one of the hottest topics trending in management research, and 61% of workers report that work-related stress makes them physically sick. 

In later episodes, Libby and Matt will discuss the effectiveness - or otherwise - of 'cult' workplace environments. And they’ll look into the darker side of work when we dig into toxic workplace behaviour and sociopathic management.
