Episode 107: Modern workplace learning: Building focus, performance and wellbeing

Can immersive learning help to upgrade human performance? In this latest episode of Digital Workplace Impact, Nancy Goebel talks with Dr Alex Young, founder and CEO of Virti, and uncovers crisp advice on engaging a digital workforce. 

A former trauma and orthopaedic surgeon, Alex built and sold his first company whilst at medical school. He scaled an award-winning medical education company while still training in the UK National Health Service. Virti, an employee training platform for the modern workforce, is Alex’s most ambitious venture to date.   

In this discussion, Alex shares his energy, drive and insights as someone whose entrepreneurial mindset is grounded in a mix of science and innovation. As many digital workplace teams shift from the war-room mentality of the pandemic to the future of work, Alex and Nancy predict the next mega trends and opportunities. 

Can gamification and artificial intelligence help employees to fast-track their soft skills for today’s digital workplace? What can actively encourage innovation within an organizational culture? And how can we really seize precious moments to engage increasingly busy people?  

The openings for intrapreneurship and innovation abound, so listen now and hear more on creating habits for optimal focus, performance and wellbeing.
