That Workplace Experience Podcast
That Workplace Experience Podcast explores how exceptional workplaces come to life — and the people behind them. Hosted by Dan Moscrop, Founder and CEO of THEM, this series uncovers the powerful connection between brand, building, and culture, showing how well-designed spaces can transform not only day-to-day working, but businesses as a whole. With a case-study approach, each fortnight Dan visits standout workplaces and speaks with the architects, interior designers, occupiers, developers, and leaders who brought them to life. Together, they unpack the full journey — from the original brief and key design decisions to the measurable impact on employee experience and business performance.
If you’re interested in how workplaces can connect your people to your purpose and your brand to your building, That Workplace Experience Podcast is your guide to the future of office design.
