Are you still enjoying your time at work from your home office? Or did you miss your co-workers too much?   Did the hybrid workplace simply not really work out for you? And what about the ongoing recession – are thoughts about losing your job creeping into your mind more often than you’d like? And now, we haven’t even started to talk about AI, ChatGPT, and all the other robot kinds of stuff that obviously will steal your job. Or will it just make your workday easier?  Confused? Don’t worry....

Do you need to drag yourself out of bed each morning? Or do you fly high as a kite on your way to work?   If you are happy at your workplace, it is probably more likely that you also want to stay at that workplace. So, what are the most common reasons - these days - that people leave their jobs, and what can we do to address them?   In today’s episode of WORK 3.0, we’ll talk about the best ways to retain employees while keeping them happy at the same time. Guests:  Nic Marks, Happiness...

Becoming a parent is tough as well as it’s wonderful. It’s life-changing in so many ways, and maybe when it comes to your job too. In the past, you might have been the last person leaving your desk at the end of the workday, or the one going on business trips for several days during the month.   Now, you have the responsibility of a child, and you might need a bit more flexibility to take care of your job and your child, at the same time. But is your workplace ready to give you this...

Stress can be caused by different factors, and your job is one of them. For quite some time, we have been talking about a global stress epidemic, and in 2020, statistics said that 43 % of employees increasingly felt pressure from stress.    But what can you do to prevent yourself from burning out? And is it even your responsibility to make sure that stress is not part of your daily routine at your workplace?  Guest: Dr. Cary Cherniss, Professor Emeritus at Rutgers University Sound...

The metaverse seems futuristic and the opportunities even more dreamy. Maybe - we will be able to handle even more tasks with our very own AI-twin and work from a sunny island, but without getting the sand into our keyboards.   But – is the metaverse for all kinds of employees? Do we need huge equipment to enter the metaverse? And isn’t there a potential risk of us getting lonelier, when we don’t get that special in-person touch – and, instead, just sit day-in and day out in front of our...

Globally, 80 % feel unengaged at work according to Gallup. And, if the leaders just lean back and do business, as usual, it’s quite probable that their unengaged employees will look around for new opportunities, where their leader actually takes their wellbeing seriously. So, what can leaders do to take better care of their employees? And what does it take to become the best leader possible in the future?   Guest: Bruce Avolio, Professor of Management at the Foster School of Business at the...

Happiness. What comes to mind? Your family, your friends? Sunkissed memories from your last holiday with sand between your toes? Or what about your job?   These days, elevating the employee wellbeing is on top of the agendas for most workplaces. This might be caused by the time we had to reflect during the pandemic about what truly made us happy in life and at work. And now we, the employees, crack the typical structures of what happiness at work truly means.   So, how can we make sure that...

The 4 Day Work Week is trending as never before. Now, it’s not only something that cool start-up companies take on, but larger corporations are also starting to look into this interesting way of framing our work. And what’s not to like? You get the same pay for working less. BUT – the thing is, you still have the same workload as before. This means, that if you don’t structure your way of working even better, time becomes an issue and it might end up stressing you out during your workday,...

Do you remember how you earned new skills before the pandemic? Maybe, you took out several days in your calendar to get new inputs in a course room, and met with other people from outside the usual office space? The two-year pandemic made this almost impossible, and the learnings we’ve got from learning new skills digitally will, now, definitely be something that we can fit into our new reality of work.   However, the hybrid workplace is moving in on us, and more and more people work remotely...

Studies show that more women than men have asked for more flexibility to work remotely post-Covid-19. And if their managers are not fully up to speed to handle employees working remote, then the women working remote will easily be forgotten, if they are not as visible in the office spaces. They miss out on the reflections after the meeting at the coffee machine and the casual small talk at the working desks, and because of that, they can potentially also miss out on promotions and new career...

We used to think that our careers only went one way: Up. Up. And up again. Until we finally reached the top. But with a new focus on happiness at work and what is essential for our wellbeing, then we might not want to do this step up that often comes with more responsibility and more tasks to handle. Maybe we are content where we are if we just get rewarded with new challenging tasks? Or maybe there is another twisted path that works better for us than the usual one-way street only going...

Working 9 to 5. So, the song goes. Or does it? New movements don’t want to live to work anymore, while others simply are getting tired of poor culture and stress at the workplaces. Someone also speaks about covid clarity and wants to do more meaningful work. Put in other words: The great resignation is upon us.   But what can companies and organizations actually do to keep us, the employees, and prevent us from pursuing other, maybe even more rewarding possibilities?   In this episode, Ben...

Studies show that more than half of office workers post COVID-19 want to have 1-2 days working remotely. And this is, even though some of our good, old office space, once again has welcomed us with open arms. Obviously, the flexibility of working from home has taken a special place in our hearts, but how can we ensure that we keep performing instead of slacking? And what does the amazing hybrid workplace, actually, look like?    In this episode, Jim Harter, Chief Scientist of Workplace...

The time is up for the suited, grey-haired, white men. Clustering together in the board room, grinning at each other, while you instantly picture their sweaty lips sucking on a fat smoky cigar. Or ... is their time truly over? And does it have to be if we just include more diverse people on the board?   For the last 60 years, our workplaces have undergone a tremendous transformation. And today, women, people of color, and the LGBT+ community have entered powerful positions in companies and...

Work can be tough, and work can be great, but work can also get dull and uninspiring if you never get the chance to experience and learn something new. At the same time, we see an everchanging world, where robots and automation replace human tasks and jobs completely. This screams for an upskilling revolution for us, the employees, and also reskilling some of us who need to move into another function. But how can we make time to learn in our over-booked calendars? And can the HR & L&D...

Green, flourishing, growing trees. Clean, bright air. Bicycles, electric cars, and windmills. Recycled plastic bottles and plant-based food. You MIGHT get where we are going, right? Sustainability is popping into almost every aspect of our daily lives. The way we transport ourselves, the way we eat and buy products, but what about the way we work? The sustainable workplace is trending. But what is it, really? Is it about getting upcycled office chairs and desks? Going more digital? Ditching...
