How Atlassian Uses Behavioural Science and Data to Power Distributed Work (an Interview with Annie Dean)

What does it really take to make flexible work succeed - at scale and over time?

In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green sits down with Annie Dean, Vice President of Workplace and Future of Work Transformation at Atlassian, to explore how one of the world’s leading tech firms is boldly reimagining work for the long term.

Sharing insights from Atlassian’s five-year journey as a fully distributed company, Annie unpacks how her team is using behavioural science, asynchronous collaboration, and AI to design a more human-centric and productive way of working.
