📣 Brand new FREE Audiem webinars featuring special guests | The 7 habits of AI-powered workplace leaders | register here 🤓

Back for another two part event special, this time the Workplace Geeks spent two days eating Haribo and talking to all sorts of lovely folk from a beautifully branded recording booth at The Watercooler Event at London ExCeL.

Described as 'the leading workplace culture and employee wellbeing show in Europe', the show blends the people angle of workplace (The Watercooler) with the workspace design and management side (The Office). This episode focuses on the latter, and part two, dropping in a few weeks, will pick up some really interesting angles on the former!

Like our previous events specials, this episode features a sequence of mini-interviews, with Chris and Ian reflecting on their comment as they go. First we hear from Gary Helm, founder of obo, who also very generously provided the Mute Jetson L4 booth for us to record from. Thank you sir! We then speak to Rachel Slade from Baker McKenzie about their four year London office transformation and change journey. What a case study in leading workplace change! Next up it's Saskia Lorrison from Convex Insurance, who shares some reflections on designing workplace experience well. The discussion then pivots in the direction of sustainable workspace design with Vanessa Lopez from Oktra, and then pivots in a human centric direction for our final interview with none other than Simone Fenton-Jarvis, who literally wrote the book on it. Treat people like adults, and other ideas from Eric Berne's seminal work on trasactional analysis. Indeed.

Some great perspectives, reflections and case study learnings in here. Workplace Geeks: always caring about your workplace education!
