Technology empowering employees to kick ass!

Trust thought for today - I did a WEF blog I must dig up about this being not just the 4th Industrial Revolution, but the 1st Empowerment Revolution.

Perhaps examples below from Reddit are how tech empowers transparency which can both earn and lose trust.

I think this also comes under distributed trust as coined by Rachel Botsman.

All very interesting. Thanks Roger Miles !

What’s the Swishiest hotel in London

Picking up on a recurring theme here of the “new age of transparency”, I’ve been transfixed by today’s Reddit, Inc. chat in which London hotel staff give frank reviews of hotels, based on the behaviour of their employers. I won’t name names (see thread below for the full dirt) but suffice to say there’s absolutely no read-across between a glitzy hotel’s front-of-house and any guarantee of an abuse-free work environment.

This calls to mind:
1. Alison Taylor’s excellent work at NYU on “#leaking is the new #whistleblowing”;
2. Glassdoor - enough said
3. #ViolationTracker - specifically their “wage thief employers” category - on Good Jobs First .

What’s happening with #socialmedia post-COVID isn’t just the ‘great resignation’, but a massive clearing of the air around all sorts of corporate brands who’ve been resting on past glories. Don’t let yours be one of them.

As I say to anyone who’ll listen: “triangulate!” - i.e. stop wishfully “believing your own PR” and check what real people (staff, customers) are saying out there about you.

And now, enjoy this Reddit thread in which various mighty #hotel brands are excoriated by their own staff…
