Workplace Cultures: Practical Ways to Engage with Jo Wong Dan Szuc
Episode 122
Friday, 20 June, 2025
UX consultants Dan Szuc and Jo Wong observe peer-to-peer connection sorely missing in workplace culture and discuss how a lack of empathy and poor conduct in business settings contribute to high disengagement rates. From a UX consultancy perspective, they point out the importance of collective responsibility, empathy, and human soft skills that are harder to master. Drawing parallels between workplace dynamics and their experiences in theater and education, their view offers a different way of seeing workplace culture and the need for a cultural shift toward intentional, meaningful interactions. Their books, 'Make Meaningful Work' and 'Make Meaningful Culture,' offer practical insights for fostering a healthier work environment.The summary below was AI-generated using Descript.00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction00:21 Discussing Workplace Culture and Disengagement01:18 Dan and Joe's Journey in UX02:42 The Importance of Empathy in the Workplace05:15 Dan's Story: From Drama to Business Culture06:54 Fundamentals of Successful Culture12:13 Challenges in Modern Workplaces19:39 The Role of Education in Shaping Culture22:25 AI and the Future of Work27:05 The Problem with Short-Termism and Attention Spans28:01 Practical Approaches to Education28:35 The Importance of Curiosity in Learning30:08 Engagement and Responsibility in Schools32:57 Avoidance and Responsibility in Workplaces33:49 The Role of Process in Work Culture35:16 Introducing the SPARKLE Framework44:17 The Impact of Early Life Experiences49:10 Promoting Meaningful Work and Culture50:21 Final Thoughts and ResourcesFind them here:Subscribe to their newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/make-meaningful-work-7327884648296972288Find them here: https://www.makemeaningfulwork.com/https://www.apogeehk.com/https://www.makemeaningfulwork.com/bookshttps://www.amazon.com/dp/173792823X?ref_=pe_93986420_774957520https://www.makemeaningfulwork.com/aboutHost Dawna Jones has been podcasting since 2008.
