TRAILER for #40, Start a Workstyle Revolution: Why flexible working isn’t working w/ Lizzie Penny & Alex Hirst

Spela upp

“Flexible working is our nemesis. It’s embarrassing that our collective imagination has only been able to tweak the 9 to 5 working day” said Lizzie Penny and Alex Hirst founders of Hoxby and co-authors of Workstyle Revolution: A revolution for wellbeing, productivity and society, a Sunday Times Bestseller. When I found out about Lizzie’s and Alex’s book Workstyle - I knew immediately I had to have them on the show, as their perspective throws another light on why hybrid and flexible working has been baffling HR Directors and leaders everywhere.  Hoxby is a purpose-led organisation born out of the necessity to create ‘a happier, more fulfilled society through a world of work without bias’. They employ more than 1,000 diverse freelancers who all work remotely across 30 countries and have been a case study in how to create digital first, successful, collaborative, productive and happy teams without a physical office. In Episode 40 Lizzie, Alex and I talk about the perils of presenteeism, disrupting the outdated 9 to 5 model, diversity and inclusion, the dark side of autonomy and how to tackle it. Their book Workstyle Revolution is a beacon of hope in our burnout culture, an alternative to the massively outdated 9 to 5. If you are an HR Director, CEO or are grappling with employee engagement - this is a must watch / listen. ------------------------------------- WORKSTYLE ------------------------------------- LIZZIE PENNY LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizziepenny/ IG :​​https://www.instagram.com/lizzietheworkstyler/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/lizzie_penny ALEX HIRST LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexhirst/ IG:https://www.instagram.com/alextheworkstyler/ WORKSTYLE & HOXBY https://www.workstylerevolution.com/ https://hoxby.com/ BUY THE BOOK https://bit.ly/3VJp0vJ ------------------------------- FOLLOW ME ON ------------------------------- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariahvo/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/mariahvo/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/mhvorostovsky HVO Search: https://www.hvosearch.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Need help HIRING - head over to - http://www.hirewithmaria.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LEAVE A REVIEW: If you’re listening on Apple Podcasts make sure to Follow, Rate, and leave a REVIEW.
