Shifting Paradigms: a conversation about power and our relationship with work

Episode 4: Humanizing the Workplace Landscape

We wrap up our podcast with a deeper dive into how we can humanize our workspaces and the role of technology in those efforts. We will also provide a systems analysis, exploring how this shift is unfolding at the individual, team, organizational, and societal level and how we can keep the forward momentum towards a paradigm shift that puts the human back into human capital.

Episode 3: Frameworks for Paradigm Shifts

We share with you a few tools that help us ask broad questions and center goals, not tactics. Workers are not just experiencing burnout; they are having existential crises and in order to bring them back into the office, we need a paradigm shift. We also introduce you to our concept of humanizing work spaces.

Episode 2: Examining Power Dynamics

We argue that because the nature of work has changed and we are in a period of assimilation, we need to also assess the current power dynamics between employees and employers. It’s not just about flexible schedules or wellness benefits, it’s about reshaping the workplace landscape so that we work to live not live to work.

Episode 1: What is Work and Why we Work

We explore fundamental questions such as what is work, how we measure it, where and where it happens. We will also share our personal anecdotes of how COVID-19 disrupted our notions of work and how history has shaped our current work culture.
