Fairness at Work -Culture's Essential Ingredient with Dr. Wilson Wong OrgDev episode 51 1:04:59

منذ 7 weeks1:04:59

1:04:59

We'd love to hear from you so send us a message! What makes a workplace truly fair? How does our own sense of fairness shape our reactions to decisions, interactions, and how we treat others at work? Fairness isn’t just a feel-good concept—it’s a critical factor in building trust, maintaining engagement, and driving performance. But getting fairness wrong can be costly. When employees perceive unfairness—whether in how decisions are made, how people are treated, or how rewards are distributed—it erodes trust, undermines morale, and fuels disengagement. So, how can managers, HR and organizations apply fairness in their work to create a culture where everyone thrives? 💼 About our Guest: Dr. Wilson Wong Strategist, Futurist, Data Scientist, Wong On Work / wilson-wong-07b71a1 Dr. Wilson Wong is a data scientist, futurist, and strategist with over 30 years of experience in applied research, focusing on leadership, culture, futures strategy, and human capital management within organisations. His work spans policy, investment, and academia, supported by expertise in data analytics and insights. He has worked with diverse clients, including the Metropolitan Police, Standard Chartered Bank, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), and international bodies such as the UNDP and UNEP, applying futures methodologies to enhance organisational resilience. A Visiting Professor at Nottingham Business School and Adjunct Professor at Hong Kong Baptist University, Dr. Wong also chairs the International Journal of HRD Practice, Policy & Research.

We'd love to hear from you so send us a message! In this OrgDev episode, we explore the transformative power of polarity intelligence with Michelle Troseth and Dr. Tracy Christopherson, co-founders of MissingLogic, LLC, and pioneers in applying polarity thinking to healthcare and beyond. How can we balance the needs of employees with the demands of the organisation? How do we navigate the tension between short-term wins and long-term sustainability? And how do we embrace innovative approaches for the future while respecting traditional, tried-and-tested methods? In a world that often defaults to either/or thinking, we risk missing the opportunities hidden within the interplay of opposites. What if, instead of viewing these opposing forces as conflicts to resolve, we saw them as dynamic tensions to leverage? Polarity thinking offers a fresh perspective—one that helps us move beyond quick fixes and binary solutions to unlock untapped potential and achieve sustainable, productive outcomes. 💼 About our Guests Michelle Troseth & Dr. Tracy Christopherson Missing Logic https://www.missinglogic.com/ Get Your Copy of their Book here: https://www.polarityintelligence.com/ Thanks for listening!
