Listen Later

What’s gone wrong with our workplace culture? Dan Lyons explores how we can put people back at the centre of our working practices.

Welcome to work in the modern economy, where the climate is cultish and management fads rule. Silicon Valley workplace culture has filtered through to other industries, dehumanising our working practices and putting tech in the driving seat. In a rapidly transforming world where entire industries are collapsing, companies scrabble to reprogramme their workforce to adapt and survive, conducting large-scale experiments in organisational behaviour; in short, we’re all their lab rats.

This event was recorded live at The RSA on Tuesday 14th May 2019. Discover more about this event here: https://www.thersa.org/events/2019/05/why-modern-work-makes-us-miserable
