Finding the job that ticks all the right boxes can seem like an impossible task. But what if you’re not looking for the right things?

Well, there is a big shift occuring in the workplace as progressive companies start focusing on something called the “employee experience” — a holistic relationship between a company and its staff. Host Sonia Kang takes a deep dive into the employee experience to uncover the criteria for the right company, the right tools, and the right people...for you.

Jacob Morgan, author of Future Leader, outlines the three pillars of the employee experience, and tells us how you can identify if a company offers them. Katy Milkman explains how our cognitive biases inform the decisions we make about where to work, and how to avoid making wrong decisions. Shopify’s culture team design lead, Mandira Midha, and social scientist Pete Bacevice share their insights on how our physical space— whether that’s an office, or our home — and digital worksplaces influence our productivity, behaviour, and even our ability to succesfully collaborate. Joe Berger tells us how technology shapes our relationship to work, and how the modern employee experience promotes a seamless integration of devices and tools into our everyday workflows.
