Fixing What’s Broken at Work with Melissa Swift
Manage episode 512228535 series 2951836
Melissa Swift discusses why modern work is dangerous, boring, and frustrating—comparing today's tech overload to the early industrial revolution. She advocates for human-centric workplace design, reducing work intensification, and treating employee feedback as valuable data rather than complaints.
TAKEAWAYS
- Work intensification is real: Employees are doing more tasks per hour with denser workloads, like carrying bricks instead of sponges
- Technology waste is massive: 42-43% of time with workplace tech is wasted; half of employees want old systems back
- Focus on retention over recruiting: HR spends 3x more effort on recruitment than developing current talent
