Are organisations overlooking one of the most important drivers of employee experience and performance?

For many, the workplace is still treated as a fixed asset - something to manage for cost and capacity, rather than something to actively design around how work actually happens.

In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green is joined by Phil Kirschner, Workforce Experience Consultant and author of the famous newsletter, The Workline, to explore why workplace strategy continues to sit outside of core HR and people analytics conversations - and why that needs to change.

Drawing on his experience across Credit Suisse, JLL, WeWork, and McKinsey, Phil shares a more practical view of what organisations are missing - from the lack of basic workplace data, to the assumptions that still shape many workplace decisions today.

So, hit play to learn more about:

Why workplace strategy is still disconnected from workforce strategy
The key data points organisations should be tracking
How leading organisations are starting to think differently about the purpose of the office
What the “Chief Work Officer” role looks like in practice
Why AI is increasing - not reducing - the importance of workplace and experience design
