185: How to build safer, smarter workplaces - with Capyble founders Miks and Cam
Whether you have a team or just contractors, you are creating a workplace culture.
In this episode of The Essential Shift Podcast, I’m joined by Miks and Cam, co-founders of Capyble - a Techstars-backed platform that helps businesses turn respect-at-work legislation into meaningful, measurable action.
We dive deep into what it really takes to build safer, smarter workplaces - from listening to lived experience, to weaving cultural safety into operations, to using AI without losing humanity. This is a big conversation on leadership, boundaries, and creating work cultures that don’t just tick the box - but transform it.
If you are a leader in your business, you should listen to this. Set the foundations early and create a safe place for people to work (even if they are only doing 3 hours a week in your business).
