Matthew Taylor is the Chief Executive of the Royal Society of Arts, a UK organisation that has been committed to solving the biggest societal challenges for over 260 years. In July 2017 Matthew published the report ‘Good Work’; an independent review into modern employment, which was commissioned by UK Prime Minister, Theresa May. 

During our thought-provoking conversation, we cover several topics:

• How to define and design ‘good work’ for individuals and society. 

• The need to change how we value work in our society and how we might bridge the divide between manual labour and thinking jobs. 

• The potential for a human-centred design approach to impact policymakers and reduce anxiety in their work.
