Work Isn’t Where You Are: Cultural Shifts and the Future of Work

What happens when workplace culture no longer reflects the realities of modern life? In this episode of Lessons Not Yet Learnt, host Kiran Kachela explores how outdated norms around presenteeism, working hours, and flexibility continue to shape the experience of work, often at the expense of wellbeing and performance. Drawing on her own career journey, Kiran reflects on how expectations around visibility, masculinity, and working parenthood have evolved, and where they still fall short. She is joined by Noel Peries, a senior PMO leader with over 25 years’ experience across sectors, who shares his passion for building healthier workplace cultures. Together, they unpack why flexible and compressed working patterns matter, why stigma still exists, and what organisations risk if they fail to challenge long-standing assumptions about how work should be done. In this episode, we cover: • How presenteeism and outdated norms still shape workplace culture • Why flexible and compressed hours improve wellbeing and performance • The stigma faced by working parents, particularly fathers, in asking for flexibility • What organisations must confront to build a more sustainable future of work About Our Guest Noel Peries– Senior PMO Leader Noel has spent over 25 years working across industries including the NHS, technology, finance, and property.
