Welcome to Work Life by Design a podcast for People & Culture leaders, C-Suite Execs, Entrepreneurs, Designers and anyone who is interested in elevating their experience of work! I’m your host, Mel Marsden, the Founder, and Director of COMUNiTI a Workplace Strategy and Design Studio focused on collaboratively, re-imagining and designing high-performance workplaces for our clients across Australia. Over the last decade I have refined my workplace toolkit to create our signature strategy offering, the Workplace Dynamics Blueprint, exploring the 5 pillars that underpin every high performing workplace. 1. Reimagining the Future 2. Brand &Culture 3. Values & Behaviours 4. Wellbeing 5. Employee Experience This process has seen my clients’ employees achieve results of;  84% employees feeling more productive  91% with increased job satisfaction  100% of employees feeling more collaborative I believe that our environments have the power to positively influence our behaviour and our performance at work. So much so, that I’ve written a book about! “The Next Workplace; Designing Dynamic Environments that Inspire Human Potential” connects the concepts of modern day management theory to the structural design of our physical workplace environments, aligning, enabling and inspiring the human potential of every organisation. If the last few years have taught us anything it’s that change is inevitable, and we no longer need to “go to work” to “work! Through this podcast we explore what it takes to make work, work! I draw back the curtains on my own business, the clients, and projects that we deliver, along with tapping into the knowledge and insights from academics, business leaders and champions of change. Together, let's elevate our experience of work.
