Reimagining and Transforming How People Work Together with Brian Elliott and Helen Kupp

Leveling Up

In today’s episode, I talk to Brian Elliott and Helen Kupp, who both work at the popular workspace and team communication app, Slack. They share how the pandemic allowed them to see an opportunity for growth and reimagine and transform how people work together with their latest project - Future Forum.

Future Forum is a consortium that will help companies make the transformations necessary to thrive in the new economy. During our discussion, the trio share their thoughts on tracking employee engagement, what leadership actually means and why it doesn’t always have to mean management, and why flexible work includes an inclusive workspace and a balanced workload.

Key Points From This Episode:

• The inspiration behind Slack’s Future Forum
• How data influences Slack’s habits and practices
• Rethinking how we see the office: a tool rather than a place
• Tracking employee engagement and satisfaction
• Diversifying what growth looks like in a company
• What flexible work means
