#29 | Human-Centered Design – Building Culture for Humans, Not Policies w/ Elisa Garn

Work wasn’t designed for humans — it was designed for efficiency, risk, and control. In this episode, we sit down with SVP of Talent Management & Sustainability at Blood Cancer United, Elisa Garn (link to Elisa's website here) to unpack why so many workplace cultures feel broken and what it actually takes to fix them.Elisa shares how human-centered design can transform company culture, reduce burnout, and help employees thrive, without sacrificing business results. From outdated systems like the 40-hour workweek to why HR often struggles to gain executive buy-in, this conversation challenges how leaders think about work, talent, and culture.If you’re an executive, HR leader, founder, or professional questioning why work feels misaligned, this episode will help you rethink how culture is designed, and who it’s really built for.Blood Cancer United | Link to Donate HereBlood Cancer United has a bold goal: to enable patients with blood cancer to gain more than one million years of life by 2040.
