Work Punks
Sticking the needle into accepted workplace practices.
There's lot wrong that goes on in the workplace today and Colin, Paul and Ben aren't afraid to point it out - in fact, they delight in it. What they like even more is debunking myths, slaughtering sacred cows, challenging assumptions and generally giving 'recieved wisdom' the skewering it truly deserves.
It's all about making the workplace better, more human and a place for thriving, not just surviving. Drawing upon their extensive experience and broad knowledge, they also offer examples of how to do it better, what more progressive approaches and more modern practices look like and what alternatives there are to the 'same old same old'.
It's time to take on the Status Quo and bring in a new wave!

Short-termism and broken working practices - Episode 19 - 18 July 2024
Our Punks try to get behind the root causes of why working practices seem to be broken in so many companies. Is short-termism behind it all, and if so, what is causing this behaviour in the first place? Are there examples that buck that trend and what can we learn from them? Join us for this episode and share your experiences of broken or trend-bucking organisations in the comments. As always, here are some links for further contemplation:
