  • Résumé

  • Welcome back to Blended! Today, we’re talking about changing working environments, and promotion bias. The debate of working from home versus working from the office has been gaining traction over the last few years, and people have been discussing the different pieces of it, from work/life balance to in-person versus online meetings to loneliness to productivity. But where you work, and it’s impact on career progression, is one of the biggest conversations right now. At a recent event, I overheard two gentlemen talking about promotion at work, and they explicitly stated that they would only promote people who worked from the office – that they wouldn’t even consider promotion for those working from home. No discussion of individual merit, personal achievement, passion, dedication, talent, success. Just a blanket statement, no negotiation. Thinking about how much workforces have changed over the last few years, and why – and reflecting on how I benefit, as an entrepreneur, from a global workforce – that conversation has stayed with me. So our panel are taking a deep dive into this complex topic here on Blended. They’ll be talking about the changing landscape of work, and how workplaces haven’t caught up; why bias is slowing down change; how we can create cultures that support balance and provide personalized ways of working; and the importance of re-designing management styles and KPI’s, so we measure success, not time. IN THIS EPISODE: [01.24] Introductions to our Blended panellists. · Srividhya – Global Supply Chain Strategy and Process Transformation at Shell · Pam – Founder of Blue Rebel Works · Jose – Procurement Excellence Lead at SpendHQ · Jenn- Founder of Two Roads Logistics and Ship Happens [11.24] The group discuss how workplaces have changed over the last few years, from the impact of the pandemic to changing demographics; and they share their stories of what they’ve seen and experienced. “When the pandemic hit and people all of a sudden were forced to work from home – and it worked! – I said: ‘This is amazing! For the world of work, this is the catalyst that will finally make the changes that we’ve advocated for, for so long’... It had a profound impact on people’s lives.” Pam · Impact of pandemic · Positive impact of working from home · Individuals re-evaluating what’s important in their lives · The great resignation · Social justice issues · Pendulum swing back to work from office · Dated leadership styles · Keeping women in the workforce · Changing demographics in workplaces · Responsibility of child care and elder care for millennial workers · Impact of housing affordability when it comes to living in big cities to work · Accessing the best talent pool, then figuring out how to secure it and leverage it · Rise of technology · Trust · Greater focus on diversity and inclusion · Rise of digital nomads · Impact of typical commute o Cost o Loss of community o Loss of balance o Burnout o Wasted time · Impact on collaboration, teamwork and connecting with others · Structure and routine · Learning to adapt · Importance of flexibility “Because leaders have been leading in the same way for so long, it’s almost like they don’t know how to manage work without managing presenteeism.” Pam “The one thing that kept me sane, and in the workforce, was flexibility.” Srividhya “A lot of managers were promoted because they were good at their job, not because they were good leaders. And that’s an issue – you have to understand people to manage them from afar – you have to understand them, what motivates them, what drives them.” Jen “The younger generation are more aware of what they want. They’ve grown up digital-first and they don’t see the point in going somewhere else to get work done.” Srividhya “For people with children, or households to manage, being able to work from home changed their lives… It made things more productive, they got time back. And time is energy, freedom and power.” Jen [36.33] The panel explores what the world of work looks like now, in light of the changes we’ve seen; why workplaces and working styles aren’t evolving at the same rate of change; and why some organizations are still attempting to force workplaces to conform to the 5-day, 40-hour workweek, which was popularized in 1926. · Resistance to change · Comfort in control · Importance of personalization · Challenging assumptions · Ego vs self-awareness · Intent ·...
