Summary

Two outstanding conversations trying to make sense of what is happening around work. Firstly I chat to Brian Elliott who leads the Future Forum, a group led by Slack. they released a new report surveying workers in the UK, US and other major countries. Here are the topline findings - but the conversation goes way beyond this.

UK knowledge workers are most likely to say they want flexibility in where they work (81%)
60% of UK knowledge workers are more open to changing jobs in the next year
69% UK knowledge workers say they want to work hybrid - 58% are currently doing so

Brian also gives a shout out to Donut - a tool to build serendipity.

Then I speak to one of the most respected thought leaders in making sense of the future of work, Julia Hobsbawm is the sought after intelligent voice when it comes to future of work discussions. She chairs the Demos 'Workshift Commission. Her new book, The Nowhere Office is a confident reflection about how we can tackle the future - it’s out for pre-order now.

We talk about office politics, establishing what Leesman call our 'workplace why' - and how we can make hybrid work.

0:45.0	I get a daily email of all the listening figures in different Apple charts around the world.
0:51.0	Now of course Apple phones are disproportionately used in affluent countries
0:56.1	I get that but you know I've occasionally sort of glanced through this and look I just want to give it a call out I came 20th in the

1:41.8	all the listening out there. Now, what we're going to try and grapple in the next few episodes is trying to make sense of exactly what's going on. I find myself being a bit COVID optimistic and as a consequence of that I think for the first time we're in a position where people can start thinking specifically about
2:03.4	what their plans are. We've been talking about hybrid working for a couple of
