Key Takeaways

The first step is to consult with your people in order to get a real sense of what they see as the future of the workplace.
Indeed, a workplace thrives on win-win situations. Furthermore, look for ways in which we can provide win-wins for our people, as well as delegating responsibilities and where and how to escalate matters.
Additionally, we must recognise the challenges of hybrid working, taking into account that if we allow the freedom of working at home, how will the workplace operate if all choose to do so at once.
Lastly, never be afraid to pilot these new scenarios – to test and refine. Also, we may recognise better ways of working, feedback at all times is essential and this is a learning process for everyone.
