Show Notes
This week’s podcast guest is Thimon De Jong, a social psychologist specialising in the future of human behaviour and the Founder at Whetston. Throughout this episode Thimon and I talk a lot about the psychological impacts of the pandemic on the workforce and discuss the following topics:
- How organisations and employees confront change during a crisis and taking an experimental approach to hybrid work
- Thimon’s interesting perspective on why asking employees what they want during the crisis itself, might not be the best approach
- The reality of COVID being a digital decelerator despite the speed at which companies have gone virtual
- The Gen Z workforce and how allowing younger workers to shape the workplace might be more effective than trying to mould the individuals themselves, to meet the expectations of the existing environment
