Over the past year, we’ve experienced a seismic shift in the way we work. Being in the midst of those changes can make them harder to see and understand. In this podcast, Victoria Dew, SCMP, Founder and CEO of Dewpoint Communications, walks us through these shifts while illustrating how communicators can reflect them in their strategic communications in the months ahead.
Victoria’s global business background includes 15 years as a trusted advisor to dozens of CEOs and executives. She tapped that network and beyond in her research into how we communicate and create experiences for people in the post-pandemic workplace.
Victoria joins us to discuss issues from the normalization of employees as messy, complicated humans to what can happen when we stop treating employees as robots. She emphasizes the high stakes involved, as the potential consequences of burnout can cost companies up to 34% of an employee’s salary.
“We are fragile humans and we are resilient humans ― and these same humans are the future of work,” Victoria says. In discussing how we approach the whole human, she talks about efforts and progress toward diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. She notes that as we make real strides forward in achieving social justice and dismantling systemic racism, companies’ approaches to these issues can prove to be the solution to evolving employee experience and engagement challenges.
Victoria shares her thoughts on the future of the “hybrid” workplace where a confluence of three conditions — human, flexible and connection — will help define the new employee experience.
