This episode on the future of work, from the Weekly Economics Podcast, is a must listen for anyone involved in capturing business cultures with words or aiming to direct them with the creation of purpose and values statements. Important questions are raised about the genuine benefit of having comfy beanbag environments, with their suggestions of inclusivity and creativity, when what people really need is more time outside of work, or the persistent push for self-entrepreneurship and betterment, when employees aren’t given freedom to choose or act. The words we thought were good to include in lists of values need rethinking, again.
