#48 Humans at Work with Anna Tavis

"in order for us to understand the future we can't lose the connection to the past" Anna and I discuss evolution of humans and the workplace, the rise of the 'no collar' economy and how the pandemic has redefined our relationship to work. We look at the cycle of permanent reinvention around human systems, industrial systems and technology, and the factors driving the dramatic changes in the workplace : digitisation of work, distributed workplaces, organisational redesign and the changing workforce. The ethical point about technology serving the collective good of humanity means that empathy is critical in the workplace. How do we manage the ever evolving barriers of ethics and empathy ? Relationships used to be so well-defined, but post-pandemic we are set to be in a long-lasting state of flux. How do we make sure that we can remain human at work as technology evolves and enact empathy at scale? Anna shares her research, insights and learnings from her new book and continued work on this topic with leaders and businesses around the globe.
