Session Why work isn't working
with Georgina Robilliard – Co-founder, Playgrounded Co
Far too often we hear of people having a truly terrible time at work. Empirically, the data shows engagement is falling globally, unhappiness is rising and this seems to be the new norm. Anecdotally, the internet is full of memes about bad bosses and work being no fun. This is bad because it’s not good for humans… but also, it’s bad because it’s bad for business. Disengaged workers impact their teams, and organisations get far less done. The mental model we share of work was created in the 1760s and is no longer fit for purpose.
What we need is a new paradigm for thinking about work that allows for crucial skills of creativity, collaboration and connection that are requirements for the survival of organisations in the modern workplace. Attend this interactive session to learn practical tips for developing culture and improving productivity in this new world of work.
