Small talk: Is it ultimately more helpful or more hurtful to employees’ daily lives? Building rapport/beating burnout or gossip/time wasting? Now that so many of us are #RemoteWorkers, we need to actively consider how to build this into our working day. https://t.co/cmBhWH5B7I

Return to the office? #Covid has accelerated change in a #workplace model that’s been around for 100 years. The Next Normal will bring flexibility to location & schedule as well as more focus on employee safety & well-being. Bring on the #FutureWorkforce. https://t.co/P65dTnNFWW

Meet Sam, the world’s first non-binary voice for digital assistants. Many digital assistants have a female voice to meet consumer preferences, but that can reinforce the gender stereotypes of women as friendly, subservient helpers.

I want to say something about living with acute dyslexia because Twitter can be a pretty unforgiving place for people with unseen challenges.

Every day I get picked up on something I write. Mostly it’s kindly or humorous which is appreciated.

With Bernadine Evaristo ⁦@TheBookerPrizes⁩ ., happy co-winners!

[Emma Birks @emmabirks]

So pleased that these TWO authors are joint winners of this year’s Booker Prize. I loved both of their books.
