208 — Workplace culture in the age of Covid

As it's become increasingly apparent that we'll be living with coronavirus for some time, organisations have started to think about what that means for workplace culture. Is it possible to hold on to what came before, or do we need to think differently about 'how we do things around here'?

To answer these questions, Ross G and Owen are joined by Bruce Daisley, former Twitter VP, author of 'The Joy of Work', host of the 'Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat' podcast and workplace culture enthusiast.

We discuss:

• how organisations are adapting to coronavirus
• the changing role of 'the office'
• the impact that managers have on workplace culture, both online and offline.
