Increasing productivity while working virtually (feat. Adam Nathan)

Flip Flops & People Ops (w/ Christie Hoffman)

In today's episode, we discuss how the way we work is broken and how it's time to take action if we ever have the hope of driving engagement! Adam Nathan came on the show to explore the negative impacts of outdated practices, such as excessive meetings, lack of autonomy, and the pressure to be constantly available.
He and I reflect on the critical importance of acknowledging the modern work crisis and implementing the principles outlined in "The Modern Work Crisis" and "Modern Work Principles"(that he helped to write). By reevaluating our work methodologies, we can create a more productive, fulfilling, and sustainable work environment for both employees and organizations.
Stay tuned for future episodes as we continue to explore the ever-evolving world of work!
