What does it take to radically transform and disrupt our workplaces? How can we bring about the changes we need and wish to see in the physical and virtual spaces we spend over a third of our waking lives in?
Empowered: Envisioning Workplaces That Work explores what thriving, diverse, and innovative workplaces look and feel like, and what makes them tick. Spoiler alert: it’s the people.
In conversation with the folks doing this vital work, join me, Susannah Magers, a content creator at Envoy, as we engage in timely discussions about the workplace experience and celebrate those who challenge the status quo in all aspects of the contemporary workplace through the lens of the all-important human elements.
Hear workplace experience leaders, creative problem solvers, and other cultural producers reveal how they create the workplaces they want to see in the world: their wins, pain points, and all the moments in between.
