Studies have shown that much of the workforce would prefer a hybrid working arrangement, and it is increasingly an essential tool to attract and retain employees. To make it successful, you need to understand what it is, what the potential pitfalls are, and how it works for your organisation. We can help.
Hybrid working sounds so easy – you just need to mix the office back in with the home-working we all became used to during the pandemic. So, what’s the problem?
The truth is that there are many potential pitfalls, and getting it wrong could prove costly. The right way to approach hybrid working depends on the type of role, as well as other factors such as whether an employee is new to your organisation or an established team member.
Additionally, line managers might have a particular view of how they want their team to work, and individual team members will have their own emotional and practical preferences. Even when you reach a clear and consistent approach, your managers will need to acquire new skills to implement your approach successfully.
Whether you are new to hybrid practices or already have a set of principles in place, our interactive programme will help steer managers through the process, and get it right.
A light audit of your current situation, which allows our consultants to make informed recommendations, and build a tailored workshop for your managers.
This will include reviewing your leadership stance, internal communications, your business objectives, your existing hybrid working policies, and any staff feedback, and form the foundation of an effective, focussed session.
A training workshop for your managers, upskilling them to implement your agreed approach so that there is consistency across the organisation. The session will include working through real-life scenarios, rooted in your teams’ experiences.
Your managers will leave the session feeling confident and capable to re-design jobs appropriately, for different roles and teams along with the necessary other skills they need to successfully lead and manage hybrid teams.
