This Episode: The Energised Workplace – with Perry Timms

Lucinda is joined by special guest Perry Timms, founder and Chief Energy Officer of PTHR, for a timely conversation about the topic of energy and how we can invigorate and maintain the energy in our teams. Essentially, so that we can better face the challenges of the year ahead with an energised workplace!

Key Takeaways

Certainly, learning is a wonderful source of energy. We feel a sense of dynamic invigoration when we develop – almost like levelling up.
It’s not about fixing people. We should be seeking to fix the system itself. Thus enabling a trickling down of energy that invigorates our workforce.
Energy begins with freedom. Indeed, many feel trapped in their job or their workplace. Furthermore, invigoration comes through granting people a sense of freedom, by dismantling barriers and encouraging imagination.
Indeed, we sometimes waste the talents of a person by slotting them into roles that do not make full use of that talent. Therefore, we should always seek to tailor the person to the role.
