About this episode
The way we work has changed since the pandemic. The modern workforce now, more than ever before, enjoys flexibility in where and when they work. But businesses, leaders and employees are still experimenting with how best to work. In this epsiosde of The Next Five we explore the shifting sands of desk based work, looking at the effect of technology on traditional structures, employee productivity, communication and wellbeing, and ask how the technology led digital HQ might help solve some of the current challenges. Sheela Subramanian, Founder of Future Forum and VP at Slack, shows us how business leaders and companies can build a flexible, productive digital workforce that puts employees at the centre of the strategy. Dennis P. Stolle, JD, PhD and Senior Director of Applied Psychology, for the American Psychological Association offers insight into employee wellbeing and how a digital first approach to working can benefit a workforce and the role that technology plays. Vladimir Lukic, Managing Director & Senior Partner; Global Leader, Tech and Digital Advantage, Boston Consulting Group also extols the benefits of technology in helping business growth and discusses how business leaders can scale in a new digitally led world.
