Episode 4 - Automation and Employee Wellbeing
In this episode, we're discussing how technology is helping to bridge the physical gap between our teams and enabling us to stay better connected with our teams in the hybrid world of work.
We’re delighted to be joined by two inspirational founders who are both huge advocates for how technology can drive positive change and help improve the experiences of our most valuable assets – our people!
Firstly, Ben Williams, Co-founder of Loopin, an innovative people engagement platform, author of Commando Mindset and a former Royal Marine. His journey into the world of technology has been truly inspirational. He touches on this in the podcast, but you can learn more about it in this Diary of a CEO episode, too.
Also joining us is the equally inspirational Yiannis Maos, Founder and CEO of Birmingham Tech, a not-for-profit organisation created to help connect and elevate the tech community in our local area of the West Midlands. He’s also a Board Advisor for Tech Nation and generally a powerhouse of influence in the tech scene.
