Description

"It’s one thing when an HR person says, “We need to humanise the workforce,” or, “Let’s talk about being human centric.” It’s another thing when the top five platform businesses in the world are saying, “We’re gonna humanise our offerings.” This episode of the humans at work podcast features a conversation with Jeff Mike, Head of Insights and Impact at FlexTrack, a global company providing an extended workforce solution that aims to support organisations to acquire, engage, and manage their contingent workforce. From Martial Arts to teaching to researching and focusing on levelling the workplace experience through technology for gig workers – what connects the dots is a focus on developing and sharing knowledge. Jeff shares his reflections on the threads from his childhood, setting up a Martial Arts school while at university, working in HR, teaching, and now focusing on research as a critical support for organisations to become more human-centred. Jeff and I talk about the world of work: how Covid shook the “ant farm” and created opportunities to do things differently for the future of work human-centred workplaces and belonging what selling really means, even if you’re in HR productivity, daydreaming and the concept of slow-motion multi-tasking how our weaknesses and strengths are often the same thing the value of re-framing the question Resources and Links: To learn more about Jeff: Visit Flextrack at https://www.flextrack.com/ You can read Jeff’s blogs at https://www.flextrack.com/author/jeffadmin/ Follow Jeff on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-mike/ To dive into the concept of slow-motion multitasking: https://timharford.com/2019/01/my-ted-talk-on-the-power-of-slow-motion-multitasking/ https://timharford.com/2015/09/multi-tasking-how-to-survive-in-the-21st-century/ Sign up to humans at work: To listen to more podcasts, read the blogs, join the humans at work community, sign up for some 1-1 mentoring…visit https://www.humansatwork.org/ Follow us on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/company/humans-at-worknz/ and on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/humansatworknz/
