#306: Optimizing Meetings and Anticipating Future Workplace Challenges with Arko Chattopadhyay

On this episode of The Shape of Work, our guest discusses the challenges coming in the future of work and how they will shape the workplace in 2023, and the benefits that can be expected two years down the line.

“Work-life balance is crucial. Being constantly on the go, 24/7, will not lead to optimal performance. There will be highs and lows in productivity. To maintain a consistent level of productivity, it's important to strike a balance between work and non-work activities."

We welcome Arko Chattopadhyay, Co-Founder of Ajenda. Ajenda assists product teams in conducting efficient meetings through the management of agendas, action items, and creation of a knowledge base. 

Prior to co-founding Ajenda, Arko took on the role of both Co-Founder and CEO at Amigo - a mental healthcare service, where he helped individuals achieve a better work-life balance, boost their well-being and be at their most productive.

• The challenges coming up in work and how they will shape the workplace in 2023
