Postscript Moment: Inclusion for Alternative Workforces and Action-Focused Decision Making, with Jeff Mike
July 07, 2023

This episode of the humans at work podcast features a Postscript Moment â a special follow-up conversation with one of our previous podcast guests. For those of you who can remember letter-writing, after youâd signed off your letter, you could write P.S. and add in one last story or commentary that you knew would appeal to your letter recipient! You wouldnât have much space left on the paper, so youâd need to be more succinct and often P.S. information was the most informal and âjuicyâ part of your news.
"I think sustainability has been an organisational or a corporate responsibility for a long time. Just look at all of the, we call them continuity plans in case of an emergency. But most organisations that I know, and I work with, are looking beyond, say, quarterly returns.
Again, while there are those market pressures, I think organisations recognise they want to be a going concern. I think I saw a statistic recently where a certain number of CEOs were wondering, maybe the majority were wondering if their organisations were even going to be in existence in 10 to 15 years, given the rate of change."
This episode of the humans at work podcast features a short(er) follow-up conversation with Jeff Mike, Head of Insights and Impact at FlexTrack, a global company providing an extended workforce solution that aims to support organisations to acquire, engage, and manage their contingent workforce. It builds on the full podcast with Jeff in episode 4.
Jeff and I talk about:
- his hypothesis on the importance of non-employee workforces playing out
- leadership traits for maximising mixed workforce value
- capturing knowledge with non-employee workforces
- inclusion, remote working and opportunities for non-employees and people with alternative abilities
- organisational sustainability and question of ongoing relevance
- tools like AI and the importance of human-focused judgement
- action as the critical step in decision-making.
