Why we created EX Lab.
We believe work is a space to explore ourselves, try out new things and grow together with peers working towards a common goal.
But how can people try and fail or work together across functions when they are managed and controlled by a top-down approach which rewards individual behaviours?
We are convinced our HR teams and People people must step out of their support function to become the heart of organisations; enabling their colleagues, ensuring teaming and pushing the boundaries of what work means.
