S2.E12: Office culture vs Culture in the office

Tell us what you thought about this episode

Over the last few years, companies have focussed on the concept of wholeness at the office, where we bring all the elements of who we are to work — our passions and strengths, our side projects and relationships, our partners and kids.
Let’s say we’re ready to bring our whole selves to work; the next step is making sure our workplace supports this mindset. It’s the proverbial “which comes first” dilemma - a supportive workplace or our own desire to be ourselves wherever we are.
In this episode, I talk with Te Omeka Morehu about how he balances Culture in the office with Office culture.
About the guest:
By day he dabbles in cloud and infrastructure solutions, he laughs, he listens and plays the guitar in the office. By night he is a Husband, Father of 4 and doer of things around the house. He enjoys challenging himself physically in multiple disciplines, connecting with whanau at his marae and consistent learning. His big hairy audacious goal... is to enjoy life whilst living it.
From guitars to cultural awareness, Te Omeka shares his views in an open and honest discussion.

Tell us what you thought about this episode

Digital has opened up a whole new world of possibilities.
When new projects are being explored, who represents the needs of your culture?
You... or is it a token effort?
Regardless of what benefits technology brings, each culture needs to be responsible for their own journey through the digital age and to beyond to ensure they get all the benefits.
In this episode I catch up with John Shortland, of Nga Puhi and Tainui descent, to discuss what happens when culture collides with technology.
