Episode notes

Rodney: I think that as systems confidence diminishes, team confidence will become more important than it has been historically. Erin: What are some of the experiments that you would love to see organizations trying in the coming year? Rodney: More diverse work courses, as we all know, are more productive, they are more innovative. And so I'm hoping that leaders will lean into that rather than say, hey, things are getting scary.

Work in 2022 felt…a little messy. Or a lot messy: Back-to-office ultimatums; wages not keeping up with inflation; waves of layoffs in the tech industry; handwringing over quiet quitting. So… will this year be better, worse, or same old same old?

In this episode of Brave New Work, Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans look into a crystal ball with Sheela Subramanian, friend-of-the-pod and co-founder of Slack’s Future Forum, to explore what this new year might have in store for us and the future of work. We explore many juicy questions—”Is 2023 the year we finally retire the 9-to-5? Why do executives continue to live in a separate world from their employees about building work culture? What will AI actually do to dozens of different gigs and industries?”—and offer our own hopes, predictions, and intentions for shaking up the status quo this year.
