Episode 2 of the podcast is here. More on that below, but an update first.
On Sunday, I’ll be sending out the first edition of Sunday Scrolls. This week will include snippets of new insights into work and the workplace, the audio of an ABC radio spot I did on disconnecting from work, new books to read, tips on reimagining work, places to visit, and things to try.
I’ll also be talking about new research on the spaces and places people are working from outside the office. I’d love to hear from you to share your experiences in the thread. See you on Sunday!
In Episode 2 of The Floorplan, Matt Webber and I take a look at the hit-and-miss - or hit and myth? - of cult workplaces.
Workplace mediation spaces, Michelin-star cafeterias, group jargon, puppy daycare, and slippery slides between office floors and you'll be in the ballpark.
Nightmare or utopia? How and why have these ideas evolved?
Is there a method in the madness or are these kinds of environments no more than expensive and possibly unhealthy social experiments?
What does the research say about how we can create positive company cultures that don’t feel like frat week?
Also, I talk to management consultant Priyal Sodha who lifts the lid on the 'culture of overwork' and what made her throw in the big-firm consulting towel for life as a digital nomad long before the pandemic made it trendy.
