The Workplace Geeks keep on trucking, despite their third UK workplace event in three weeks! And this time for something a bit different. Chris and Ian are in conversation with Julien Capraro, researcher, writer and director of National Film Board of Canada documentary, Work Different. The episode is a great counterpoint to the last one with Nick Bloom, essentially taking the same topic of hybrid and remote work, and exploring it from a completely different perspective: Nick using data, evidence and academic outputs, and Julien using peoples' stories and accounts to bring the topic to life in a beautifully crafted visual narrative.
Work Different tells the story of remote working through the voices of a wide range of advocates and critics, exploring the forces influencing its development pre, during and post pandemic. Along the way viewers meet the OG of teleworking (as remote working was originally termed way back in the mid 1970s) Jack Nilles. If you don't know anything about Jack then make sure you also listen to Workplace Geeks episode 4 from season 1, where Chris and Ian also had the privilege of spending some time discussing his work.
Once you've listened to Julien and Chris and Ian's reflections on investigative journalism, storytelling and emotional engagement, you can also watch the documentary for free!
