In our ninth podcast, part of our mini-series from Workplace Trends, we are joined by Nigel Oseland (@oseland) and Mike Adams (@supervideomike) as they discuss creativity and the impact of technology on the workplace.
People should been seen as a company’s “best assets” due to the creativity they bring to the workplace. Yet Nigel believes people are often still expected to be seen at their desks and to look busy, despite this not necessarily meaning that people are productive and creative. Nigel explores how fostering creativity can also depend on the way the employees are treated, and how to develop that philosophy within an organisation.
Workplace technology is continuously being improved and developed to meet ever increasing demand. Mike Adams, technology consultant for VEGA Europe, believes that many “people are afraid of technology; they see it as a horror story”. Mike discusses the current technology trends; wireless technology, video communication and conferencing and working remotely, and the effect this technology will have on many workplaces.
