Job Crafting, with Rob Baker

Job crafting expert Rob Baker and Heigh Ho's Bob Merberg invoke a scene from Snow White to explain how to use job crafting to improve job satisfaction, productivity, and employee wellbeing.

Rob Baker, author of Personalization at Work, and Bob Merberg explore job crafting, where a worker tailors their job-related tasks, relationships, and thoughts to optimize how it fits to their strengths. The conversation uses the allegory of Snow White’s and the forest animals’ job crafting in the Whistle While You Work scene to help listeners understand how job crafting can increase productivity, innovation, and wellbeing… and where things can go awry.

It’s not required, but if you have a chance, check out the scene before listening:
