The Future of Work and Cultural Transformation

In an ever-evolving landscape, the future of work is at the forefront of our discussions. Join us as we delve into the transformative journey ahead, exploring the changing dynamics, challenges, and opportunities that define the workplace of tomorrow.

In this insightful episode, our host, Piyal Bhoora, engages in a compelling discussion about the future of work with Krys Burnette, Culture Transformation Leader and TEDx speaker, and Sarena Lin, former member of the Board of Management of Bayer Ag. Together, they explore the evolving landscape of work and its challenges, providing valuable insights for organizations navigating this transformative journey.

Krys Burnette is a dedicated advocate for organizational development and culture transformation. With over a decade of experience, she has been instrumental in shaping future-proof, digital-first organizations. Krys has led global brands towards embracing new work paradigms, redefining team dynamics, and championing human-centered design solutions for employees and customers. She supports leadership teams in various domains, including Innovation, Digital/eCommerce, Design, Brand and Marketing, Web3, and HR/People functions.

I think what we noticed is this shift in employee's relationship to work. If you're navigating this shift and you're recognizing that the traditional workplace and the traditional way of working from the past is no longer something that you want to ascribe to, I think folks are sort of realizing that they can opt out.

The pandemic has not only changed the definition of the workplace, but it has also fundamentally altered the meaning of work itself. It has shifted people’s priorities in terms of the values they hold dear in their life, and how they prioritize work in relation to them.
