“Flexible working is our nemesis. It’s embarrassing that our collective imagination has only been able to tweak the 9 to 5 working day” said Lizzie Penny and Alex Hirst founders of Hoxby and co-authors of Workstyle Revolution: A revolution for wellbeing, productivity and society, a Sunday Times Bestseller.
When I found out about Lizzie’s and Alex’s book Workstyle - I knew immediately I had to have them on the show, as their perspective throws another light on why hybrid and flexible working has been baffling HR Directors and leaders everywhere.
Hoxby is a purpose-led organisation born out of the necessity to create ‘a happier, more fulfilled society through a world of work without bias’.
They employ more than 1,000 diverse freelancers who all work remotely across 30 countries and have been a case study in how to create digital first, successful, collaborative, productive and happy teams without a physical office.
In Episode 40 Lizzie, Alex and I talk about the perils of presenteeism, disrupting the outdated 9 to 5 model, diversity and inclusion, the dark side of autonomy and how to tackle it.
Their book Workstyle Revolution is a beacon of hope in our burnout culture, an alternative to the massively outdated 9 to 5.
If you are an HR Director, CEO or are grappling with employee engagement - this is a must watch / listen.
