Are organisations getting it right or wrong on workplace culture? While the answer to that question isn’t straightforward, it would seem that something is slightly amiss across British businesses.


As workplace culture expert Bruce Daisley says, it is clear that the last few years have been difficult and many organisations are probably aware that their culture is just not as good as it used to be.


“I think it’s not through a lack of desire or will to make culture better that it’s not working right now, but I just think some of the tricks that used to work in the past aren’t proving as effective, and that’s why firms are getting it wrong,” he says. “Work used to be more fun than it is now.”


Daisley became one of the best-known technology leaders in the country, during a 12-year stint first running YouTube in the UK for Google and then what was at the time Twitter across Europe, the Middle East & Africa. 


Today he is the bestselling author of The Joy of Work and Fortitude, the voice behind the award-winning podcast, Eat Sleep Work Repeat, and a keynote presenter and culture coach.


In this episode of Leadership Lessons podcast, Daisley discusses why, in an age of AI, getting workplace culture right is more important than ever and offers some helpful advice on how to make improvements, from optimising face-to-face time to the importance of looking at what behaviour is encouraged, what is rewarded and what is – but no doubt shouldn’t be – tolerated.
