The Workplace Event's Workplace Leaders Top 50 awards are in their second year, and the Geeks were honoured to be invited to speak to the winners. Each of these special episodes will feature small but perfectly formed chats with three winners🏅

In this third episode we're in conversation with Nicola Morris (ISS), Alistair Scott (IEM) and Steph Welch (Arup). The overarching theme of all three discussions is Workplace and FM as a career of choice (or most likely not) and all the inspiring, creative, equitable and disruptive ways to do something about it. Here's what we asked them:

• How did you get into the workplace sector?
• ⁠⁠What’s different about it now compared to then?
• What does the sector need to be better at, and why?
• ⁠⁠What advice would you give an up and coming workplace leader?

Chris and Ian are joined by postdoc researcher Jana Retkowski and associate professor Ella Hafermalz, both from the KIN Center for Digital Innovation at VU Amsterdam, to discuss ‘Managing a ChatGPT-empowered workforce: Understanding its affordances and side effects’, co-written with professor Marleen Huysman.

Hot off the press this autumn as part of a FREE special edition of Business Horizons, ‘Written by ChatCPT’, the paper captures the zeitgiest when ChatGPT exploded late 2022, and explores the outcomes as early adopters moved from ludic tinkering to early workplace adoption. Spoiler alert - the genie's out of the bottle, and leaders need to consider the intended and unintended consequences of generative AI in the workplace.

With thanks to WORKTECH Events for making the introductions for this episode. And to top if off, we’re joined by Kasia Maynard, Head of Research and Editorial at WORKTECH Academy on reflection section duties.
