Description

In this episode, I talk to Christine Armstrong, the founder of Armstrong & Partners and a researcher, consultant and writer, about the future of work.I became aware of Christine's work through her fantastic vlogs, which she publishes every week on LinkedIn. They cover all matter subjects related to work and life, including the perils of Zoom, the pain of homeschooling, and the problem of assuming that flexible work is the answer to all our work/life challenges.She also offers a refreshing take on some of the steps organisations need to take to make work better, and I enjoy not just her videos but her writing on the subject. As well as her book, Mother of All Jobs, released in 2018, Christine also writes for the Telegraph, Grazia, and Management Today, amongst others.There are plenty of folks throwing around platitudes and empty opinions at the moment related to work and how that intersects with our personal lives. I think you'll discover in this podcast that Christine is not one of those people. We chatted about the difference between flexible and remote work, burnout, and how businesses need to think about redesigning work at an organisational, team and individual level. Plus, how business models affect our understanding of the way we expect people to work - specifically, the problems with using TIME as the primary output.LINKS:Christine's LinkedIn profileArmstrong & PartnersFuture Work/Life newsletter Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
