INTERPERSONAL CONFLICT AT WORKIn Episode 11, Trajce and Alan probe perceptions among workers and the impacts on workers in toxic workplaces. Camera footage tells one story but cannot reveal worker vulnerabilities and perceptions that arise when toxicity has eroded interpersonal relationships. Trajce and Alan unpack the conflicts that can occur at work, even interpersonal difficulties arising from judgment about mask-wearing during the pandemic! Sara asks about design for diversity and isolation if

WORKPLACE DESIGN FOR PERFORMANCEIn Episode 10, we pursue the end game of good work design. We suggest that workplaces build purchase, agency, and capability in work design throughout their organisation, propped by conventional designers and the lawyers to help predict and defend against safety-critical events. Sara prompts listeners to thing about work design – it does not solve the problems for people, but it can facilitate a system of design to prop effective problem-solving, helping workers

A choodle or a poowawa? Hybrid dogs or hybrid work, it’s all up for laughs in Episode 9! When we design good work it requires science, expertise, consultation, and engagement with subject matter experts, coupled with an inventive mind (which means a workplace that tolerances ‘fuzzy work’ where we can stumble to create anew). Sara proposes the role of a Chief Work Design Strategist as a must-have on the C-Suite executive teams, coupled with the organ grinder with the tambourines, to help navigate a

WORKPLACE FATIGUEEpisode 8 tells a tale of a tragic road rage story, the complexity of fatigue, shift work, and high performance versus coping. The over-productive worker and those who approach burn-out are examined. Fatigue can seem invisible, so how do we examine the symptoms when we work from anywhere? Ultimate, we ask: are we designing for what we WANT or what we DO NOT want?For more discussion about occupational psychosocial injury, tune in to Episode 11 and Episode 12.

The air that I breath and the water that I drink: how is this ensured in the home working environment? What about the potential risk of exposure to domestic violence? Listeners must consider whether they provide ‘first aid’ at work or just engage in better conversations with the workforce, and who are their ready-to-deploy teams of specialised advisors.For

WE EXPLORE HOW TO CONNECT, CONSULT, AND ENGAGE WITH WORKERSEpisode 6 discusses candor at work and how to be real. We encourage employers to discuss the messy realities of work. Candor is a two-way street and effective pathways are needed to discuss ‘what’s what’ in a frank and open manner. We encourage businesses to create scenarios to ‘imaginate’ while you ‘simulate’ the realities of work and use this to launch quality, candid conversations. In so doing, we invite listeners to design work for

WHEN WORK EXPOSES YOU TO THE DARK SIDE OF LIFEEpisode 5 challenges listeners to think about highly confronting scenarios. We caution that the episode discusses suicide and exposure to horrific scenarios, like child pornography and abuse. This is addressed because this is a reality of work for many people, including those who must analyse the complex nature of these life events and grapple with how the legal circumstances are treated. But what is the impact of this vicarious trauma? For some, the
