Work Made Human Podcast: Nikhil Sethi, Workgrounds

On this episode of Work Made Human, hosts Nichole and Jill sit down with Nikhil Sethi, co-founder and CEO of Workgrounds, for a candid conversation about the evolving meaning of gathering at work.

What once felt like routine—offsites, retreats, and hallway hellos—now needs a fresh playbook. Together, they explore how intentional design, empathy, and storytelling can turn overwhelming team travel into culture-building moments that actually stick.

The conversation goes beyond logistics and into leadership: how to manage change, improve communication, and rethink the role of space—physical and digital—as work keeps evolving. If you're leading people in this new world of work, Nikhil’s insights will help you make every gathering, feel more human, and more worth it.
