09:26- How has the digital transformation impacted workplace inclusivity and democracy?
- Digital tools enable constant real-time feedback from employees through methods like texting and frequent surveys, allowing for continuous monitoring and improvement of workplace inclusivity.
- Technologies like DAOs introduce new models for workplace democracy, promoting consent-based voting and shared decision-making, though these remain niche and not widely adopted.
- Despite initial advancements, tech adoption for equity and inclusion has stagnated due to shifting priorities toward risk management and financial constraints, particularly in sectors facing economic challenges like nonprofits.
20:16- In what ways do you think remote and hybrid work models will shape the future of equitable workplaces?
- Remote work can create a safer feeling for those who feel unsafe or unheard in traditional workplaces, as working from home can provide a comfortable and secure environment.
- The disconnection inherent in remote work makes it harder to build trust, collaborative environments, and true inclusivity, as it limits natural social interactions and spontaneous teamwork.
- Effective remote and hybrid work models require specific efforts to simulate in-person interactions, consider neurodiversity, manage screen exhaustion, and find ways to accommodate both introverted and extroverted employees.
