The Future of Work Alliance

As a member of the Future of Work Alliance, I bring my academic research, lived experience, and advocacy to a collective dedicated to redesigning work in a way that’s actually human. Not just efficient, but equitable, flexible, and psychologically safe. My focus lies in challenging outdated systems, amplifying employee voice, and helping shape a future of work that people want to be part of, not one they’re forced to survive. Through collaboration, strategy, and a healthy dose of honesty, I’m proud to contribute to a movement that’s rethinking how, where, and why we work.

We spend a lot of time talking about listening at work.
Surveys. Pulses. Feedback sessions. Listening tours.

But listening isn’t where trust breaks.
Trust breaks in the space after people speak up — when nothing happens, explanations replace action, or decisions disappear into silence.

Over time, people learn what honesty costs them.
Psychological safety erodes quietly.
And HR and people teams are often left carrying expectations they don’t control.

The issue isn’t intent.
It’s follow-through.

And until organisations take that gap seriously, no amount of “better listening” will fix what’s underneath.

This came up again in this week’s Elephant in the Org conversation.

Where have you seen the gap between “we heard you” and real action do the most damage?
