Humans in the Workplace

Back to the Office as People with Purpose

Are you struggling to get your staff to come back to the office with high levels of staff engagement? If so, you are not alone.

Along with the benefits that come with the flexible nature of a hybrid work setting, there are some challenges to a disconnected workforce and a lack of cohesiveness that is exacerbated by a reluctance for staff to travel to the office to share time and space with each other in person.

Join Dr Sophie Fenton and Steve Collis to see how your people can reconnect with who they are as human beings, and find an intrinsic and purposeful motivation to come back to the office.

Sydney CBD - Thursday, 7 November
Brisbane CBD - Thursday, 14 November
Melbourne CBD - Thursday, 21 November

All sessions run from 8:00am to 10:30am with breakfast included.

The Me, The We, and the Us of the Office

We'll connect what we know about human psychology and the benefits of being face to face:

What connecting in person means for us as thinking, social and emotional creatures
The nature of intrinsic motivation versus compliance in actually driving new behaviours
How to create a human-centred rationale for spending time in person with each other

A Hands On Workshop with Practical Outcomes

We invite organisational leaders to attend together to find a way forward:

Exploring together what it means to be a team of human beings in a professional and personal sense
How to articulate a rationale for having, and making the most of, days in the office with motivated and engaged teams who genuinely want to connect
Finding an approach that is right for their teams' dynamics and needs

Dr Sophie Fenton

Human-Centred Strategist

Sophie is a human-centred designer with an extensive career as an innovator, leader, and founder. She has a passion for environments that foster exploration, collaboration and creativity. As at ease working with the C-Suite as she is sitting down with staff, Sophie is skilled at facilitating change. Drawing on her education expertise, she tailors new environments in a co-design process and facilitates change through learning. A multi-award winning educator, Sophie has completed a PhD in the Faculty of Education at Monash University, with a pedagogical focus on human-centred learning for the emerging cyber-physical world.

Steve Collis

Head of Strategy

Steve’s light bulb moment was on Day 1 of being a High School teacher. It struck him how deeply our environments – and the assumptions that come with them - shape how we think, feel and behave. This insight led to a blur of teaching awards, international keynotes, academic publishing and leadership roles. On 2016 he joined the commercial world, focusing on organisational culture and flexibility. An expert in hybrid work set ups, Steve mixes inspiring facilitation, data, and diplomacy to find the right answers to the big questions about the future workplace, ways of working and the human experience.

Lisa Justice

National Strategy Lead

Lisa has spent over 15 years researching and strategising around the lived experience of teams and the impact of the built environment on the employee and client experience. Her particular passion is workplace wellbeing, which she sees a foundation for other strategic imperatives such as productivity or the embrace of collaboration. Lisa is as comfortable facilitating C-Suite strategy conversations as she is connecting one on one with staff on the ground. Take the two together and you have Lisa’s perfect recipe: a vision for a workplace that is both transformational and instantly credible at the front lines.

Great investment of my time. Touched on a number of areas that are opportunities for our business. Good to hear other industries/businesses and what they're doing. Loved the collaboration and practical tools.

Excellent, thought-provoking session which cleverly pulled together many threads - People, Change Management, Tech, Physical Design, market intel and design/construct delivery options.

- Craig Chapman, Partner/Head of Office, Dentons

This morning's session has really answered a lot of questions I did not know that I had as I crossed the threshold of the office door. Thank you for such an informative workshop.

- Jacqueline Tramacchi, General Manager, Ryan Murdoch O'Regan Lawyers
