PODCAST NAME
After months of requesting name ideas, we have given up asking! Whilst we had some very clever suggestions, none of them quite hit the spot, some were already in use elsewhere and some were just a bit too clever! (We decided that any name that needed a paragraph to explain the meaning was not going to work). Along the way, we have also become rather attached to As Yet Untitled and lots of people have said we should just stick with that, especially since the final format is still evolving and the range of topics is diverse. So that’s what we are going to do! The name will remain As Yet Untitled. However, we haven’t forgotten that we promised to give away a £100 Amazon voucher so, in the absence of an outright winner, we have donated the £100 to SSAFA – the Armed Forces Charity.
CIEHF: HUMAN FACTORS IN THE WORKPLACE
In my 30+ years of workplace wellbeing and ergonomics activities, I have never known a time when Human Factors played a more central role in the discussions of workplace professionals. Yet there was nothing about workplace on the recent CIEHF Conference agenda! A few of us within the CIEHF are planning to reawaken that focus through the Workplace Sector Group. If you would like to know more (whether or not you’re a CIEHF member), please let me know.
LARGE FORMAT 3D PRINTING
What if I offered you a statement product for your corporate lobby or atrium with these features – 100% recycled raw material; 100% recyclable at end of life; biophilic impact; acoustic impact; aesthetic impact and, although it’s been designed in the USA, bringing the design to the UK for local manufacture under licence has the carbon footprint of an email attachment? We plan to launch our first truly circular furniture product on June 5th & 6th at the TCT3sixty Exhibition. This event is probably not in your diary so contact me if you would like to know more
WORKPLACE TRENDS YOUTUBE CHANNEL
I have stated previously how much I enjoy the Workplace Trends conferences. They present case studies, research and information at the cutting edge of workplace design and thinking. You can now find previous sessions on their YouTube channel. At the moment, most of the content is a few years old but regular updates are now being added. Follow the link and subscribe to see new content as it appears. Then attend in person! That’s where you will find that the face-to-face conversations and networking are the icing on the cake.
