re:Work…make work better

For some time I have been following the blogging site of Google HR on the new ways of working within their company. This ‘card’ arrived this morning in the mail with a whole bunch of redirects to their content over the past year, I thought it might be interesting to post it hear so you have everything in one place. Enjoy!

It’s hard to believe it’s that time of year
When we reflect on accomplishments with humility and cheer
Make sure to thank your colleagues for all that they do
And don’t forget to recognize their informal contributions, too
It’s also time to start looking ahead
To brainstorm OKRs and ensure your work cred
Involve your team as you strive towards goal clarity
And foster psych safety to improve team productivity
From hiring to managing, there’s much to be done
All while fighting off imposter syndrome (no, you’re not the only one)
And don’t forget to write up that personal OKR
Be it well-being or unbiasing, be sure to reach far
Remember that you are a workplace trendsetter
Who never stops finding ways to #makeworkbetter
A sincere thank you for making this year a dream
And for your continued commitment to the future of work in 2017!

Whatever you decide, help inspire others by sharing your new year’s work resolution.

Happy new year from the re:Work team!

…a Japanese house a day…Y House / Kwas

#series #abeautifulbuildingaday

It strikes me that most of the time my attention is caught on a Japanese structure when I browse through the list of architectural feeds in my RSS reader. So here is one more again…

…a beautiful school a day…

Been there over a year ago. Beautiful building in a somewhat strange setting. At the terrain of ZollVerein which is a site in itself you should visit if you are into grand industrial complexes…

© Laurian Ghinitoiu SANAA’s Zollverein School of Management and Design in Essen , Germany , is a perfect 35 meter-cube. The building’s dominant presence, which is particularly striking amid its suburban context, extends to the interior spaces.

It’s never enough

It’s not enough. There are more people, better off, with more freedom, more agency and more power than at any other time in our history. That’s not enough. As we use technology and culture to create more health, more access and more dignity for more people, we keep reminding ourselves how inadequate it is in the face of the injustice and pain that remains.
