The Floorplan
Podcast Description
The Floorplan is a thorough and sometimes funny exploration of our attempts to navigate the modern workplace and the future of work. Steven Spielberg says he wakes up so excited that he can’t eat breakfast. But for most of us, work is far less fulfilling. The way we design jobs and where we expect people to perform can be dull at best and dehumanising at worst.

Matt and Libby consider the economic cost of unhappiness at work and ponder the price of anxieties brought on by the speed of workplace change.
