Redesigning Work for a Workforce That’s Already Changed - Sam Briggs
In this episode of Misbehave, we’re joined by Sam Briggs, Head of HR at Aarsleff Ground Engineering and a doctoral researcher challenging how we think about generational differences at work.
With experience spanning finance, retail operations, logistics, manufacturing, and construction, Sam brings a no-nonsense lens to some of HR’s most outdated practices. She unpacks why Gen Z are pushing back on top-down management, how flatter structures and network mapping could replace traditional org charts, and what HR must rethink if it wants to stay relevant.
We explore the shift from annual appraisals to flexible, ongoing check-ins and why backing change with data is the key to influence, not just inspiration.
