The Prime Minister gave us the ‘green light’ to get back to the workplace on 21 June. But as businesses decide what to do next, they need to appreciate that everyone’s situation is unique. Some of their employees will be excited, elated, and desperate to return to the office; whereas others may be feeling confused, worried, and apprehensive….working from home has become their ‘comfort zone’. Everyone seems to be opting for the ‘hybrid’ office – but is this the best of both worlds?

In this webinar, we can think about the future shape of work, not just post-21 June. We can explore some of the options. With a limited timeframe, we can only scratch the surface. It will probably leave you with more questions than answers. But we need to start facing those challenges now.

Using ‘The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People’ as a framework, we will look at some of the ‘Habits’ to ask important questions such as….

• When and how can we start the complex task of returning to the workplace?
• How do we prioritise what our workplace could and should look like?
• Do our employees work in a ‘psychological safe’ environment?
• How can we listen to our employees, so that some can continue to work remotely, and others can come back into the office?

Using a mixture of theory, videos, and audience reaction, participants are left with some thoughtful and practical advice, which they can use to understand their own specific situation and manage their own level of risk.
