Beyond Bricks: 
Integrating people and place for optimal hybrid work

The session provides an exploration of factors beyond pure office redesign for the creation of more collaborative workspaces – we know that for organisations to achieve their full potential, the psychological motivations of all staff also need to be considered.

Given the scale of disruption the pandemic has caused, forward-thinking organisations are now seeking a deeper understanding of the full spectrum of elements that influence how we work effectively in the 2020s.

This webinar has been devised as a set of thought-starters, to encourage a wider range of considerations when figuring out the ideal blend of office and remote work for your organisation.

You'll learn:

• Why blending the physical and psychological redesign of work and workspaces yields superior results
  
• Why workspace customisation improves productivity and performance
  
• How and where to get started
  
• How the right analysis now will deliver enhanced results and longer-term organisational resilience

Description

• The 2020 pandemic and ensuing lockdown triggered a universal pivot to remote working, as organisations battled to both comply with social distancing measures and maintain business continuity.
• Vaccination programmes are finally allowing organisations to consider a return to office life.
• Successive survey data shows that many people have no desire to return to the workplace full-time, preferring instead to blend remote working with office-based activity. This is known as ‘hybrid working’.
• With no pre-existing blueprint for hybrid working, organisations must figure out their own optimal mix to accommodate it.
• While workspaces are being reconfigured for fewer people in the office and socially distanced working, there are a wider range of considerations to consider when designing for the optimal post-lockdown ‘where’ of work.

This is for you if:

• Your organisation primarily operates from an office environment.
  
• You're an ambitious business leader who’s recognised that the world of work is changing, and who wants to explore hybrid working in closer detail.
  
• You’re an executive or HR leader, facilities or office manager who’s been tasked with figuring out how to prepare your organisation for both hybrid working and the wider ‘future of work’.
  
• You suspect that there are advantages to hybrid working, but you’re not sure how to get started.
