Episode 12 welcomes workplace legend Alexi Marmot to Workplace Geeks. Amongst other things, Alexi is Professor Emeritus of Facility and Environment Management at the Bartlett, UCL; Professor of Architectural Science at University of Sydney; and Board Chair of AMA Alexi Marmot Associates. Chris, Ian and Alexi discuss 'Work on the Move 3' that she edited with Michael Schley, and in particular her own chapter on health and well-being at work. James is back from whittling for the PinderPonder™, which explores social construction, evidence-based practice and systems thinking. And a touch of blacksmithing.

Beginning with the premise of heath as a basic human right, lessons from the pandemic present an opportunity to rethink our work and workplaces with wellbeing in mid. 'Placefulness' presents an opportunity to recognise and multifaceted value of place in mindfulness terms. Similarly, 'well-working' can be used to recognise the allied role of workplace to our individual and collective well-being. By embracing these ideas and gathering compelling evidence to justify their value, we should strive to create 'workplaces worth the journey' - for the health of us, our organisations, and - perhaps most crucially - the planet.
