Hello friends,
Sometimes the most powerful workplace insights come from someone who’s seen the industry from every angle.
Bex Moorhouse has managed serviced offices before WeWork made coworking cool, shaped the culture at Nike where “progress over perfection” was more than just a slogan, and now leads global workplace strategy at WPP, one of the world’s largest advertising & creative agencies.
In this episode of Fika Friday at the Office, Bex and I talked over coffee about what actually makes workplaces work. Not the surface-level stuff, the gym that nobody uses or the wellness room that’s just an empty box, but the experiences, behaviors, and leadership approaches that create environments where people want to be.
“A lot of those boring or repetitive tasks drain energy. If we had AI agents doing those bits, it would free us up to really listen to people.”
We covered:
→ Why Mark Dixon, legendary Founder of Regus deserves more credit than WeWork
→ How taking care of yourself makes you better at your job
→ What Nike taught her about speed, trust, and valuing every voice
→ Why activation matters more than amenities
→ AI as a workplace ally, not a threat
→ The security guard who gave her a dopamine kick when she needed it most
