Managing Hybrid Work Course

The Covid-19 pandemic saw a significant portion of workplaces pivot to flexible and hybrid arrangements that have become the new normal of work. This change has created both challenges and opportunities, for workplaces and as flexibility becomes the new expectation of workers, there is a need for workplaces to review what was initially a fairly reactive approach to hybrid work and establish a more consistent, operationally meaningful and holistic approach. This approach is supported by the Global Commission on the Future of Work who are calling for more investment to support flexible work and programs to ensure workers and workplaces are able to achieve the always difficult equation of work-life balance.

Join us as we explore the fantastic opportunities and substantial new risks that hybrid work poses to employers. Consider new approaches to supporting workers and addressing the now grey space between work and home life, demands and needs. Understand practical strategies for creating higher levels of engagement, improving health and wellbeing, attracting and retaining talent and mitigating people risk.
