Description

• Since 2020, working at least part of the week away from the office has become a primary expectation for any worker whose work can be delivered remotely.
• While most organisations have now adopted some form of hybrid working, many firms are demanding a full return to the office. Getting into the flow of effective distributed working remains problematic.
• With very little blueprint available for effective hybrid working design, organisations across the board recognise more needs to be done to boost team productivity, energy, connectedness and outcomes.
• This interactive webinar provides pointers for line managers seeking to improve team effectiveness in the age of hybrid working.

The webinar

This webinar is for business and HR leaders looking to get the most out of hybrid working and who want to help their team leaders and line managers boost the engagement, wellbeing and performance of their hybrid teams.

Grounded in the latest research, it explores the psychological needs of workers as they adapt to more fluid ways of working. As operating environments become increasingly complex, agility is an imperative. Creating and nurturing work environments and microcultures that optimise inclusion and engagement are a must for high-performing teams seeking to continue to deliver market value.
