Description

<p><strong>Are organisations overlooking one of the most important drivers of employee experience and performance?</strong>&nbsp;</p><br><p>For many, the workplace is still treated as a fixed asset - something to manage for cost and capacity, rather than something to actively design around how work&nbsp;actually happens.&nbsp;</p><br><p>In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green is joined by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/philkirschner/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Phil Kirschner</a>, Workforce Experience Consultant and author of the famous newsletter,&nbsp;<em>The&nbsp;Workline</em>,&nbsp;to explore why workplace strategy continues to sit outside of core HR and people analytics conversations - and why that needs to change.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Drawing on his experience across Credit Suisse, JLL, WeWork, and McKinsey, Phil shares a more practical view of what organisations are missing&nbsp;-&nbsp;from&nbsp;the lack of basic workplace data, to the assumptions that still shape many workplace decisions today.&nbsp;</p><br><p>So, hit play to learn more about:&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Why workplace strategy is still disconnected from workforce strategy</li><li>The key data points organisations should be tracking</li><li>How leading organisations are starting to think differently about the purpose of the office</li><li>What the “Chief Work Officer” role looks like in practice</li><li>Why AI is increasing - not reducing - the importance of workplace and experience design</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>This episode is sponsored by&nbsp;Visier.</strong>&nbsp;</p><br><p>Visier&nbsp;Workforce AI is your GPS for workforce decisions.
