Description

Are your work chats filled with emojis? Or are they all text, all-the-time? In this episode, we debate if emojis belong in workplace communication at all.Debater Maren Hotvedt points out the problems with emoji, including cringe-worthy misinterpretations and accessibility challenges. She’s joined by accessibility researcher and assistant professor at Rochester Institute of Technology Dr. Garreth Tigwell, and qualitative user experience researcher Esha Shandilya. Emoji super-fan Shannon Winter advocates in favor of emojis as a culture builder and tool to express identity, with support from Tomoko Yokoi, entrepreneur and researcher on digital innovation at International Institute for Management Development and ETH Zurich.

Our workplaces today are changing fast - but which changes are actually going to serve us best? Work Check takes your most pressing questions about the ways we work together and hashes out the best arguments on either side. Join host Christine Dela Rosa and a team of debaters to challenge the status quo on the ways you think about or show up for work. It’s never been more important to think about the ways we interact with our teammates, whether we’re heading back to the office or staying remote. So this season we’re debating questions like: Should you really wear PJs to a work zoom? Could the 4-day work week be a game changer for your team? And, should you only give your coworker feedback to their face? All that and more on this season of Work Check.
