The Way We Work Podcast With Ben Waber: Recent Episodes
Humanyze
The way we work is changing. Companies are competing to hire and retain the best employees, increase productivity and output, and reduce costs. But to create the best working environment, we need to understand how work gets done. What we often use as indicators - org charts, surveys, process diagrams - doesn’t actually outline how we work. And what worked for one company, might not work for you. So how can we make work, better? Join MIT Media Lab Ph.D. and Humanyze CEO, Ben Waber, and a new guest every month to uncover how we can create better workplaces.
On this month's The Way We Work, Humanyze CEO Ben Waber is joined by Kevin Mulcahy of the Future Workplace Network to discuss:

- How leaders and employees alike can set themselves up for success in the workplace of the future
- Pros and cons to the growing role of technology in our daily lives
Kevin is a workplace trends expert who joins us to discuss the impacts of changing work styles, and how to stay current with the education and skillsets needed to be successful.
