This Episode: `5 Talent Management Strategies For A Hybrid World`

This week, Lucinda discusses five talent management strategies for a hybrid world in a special show delivered originally as a highly successful webinar, including such topics as why hybrid working could pose a risk when it comes to engagement, and the practical ways you can use to support your business by being more alert to these needs.

Key Takeaways

If we focus upon talent as an attribute that everyone possesses in some way, then we make our organisations far more resilient, and help to secure its future.
We can make our organisations more attractive in terms of culture by examining geographic flexibility, looking at collaborative culture, looking at management style, visibility of skills and career development pathways.
88% of people who worked at home during lockdown want to maintain this in some capacity, and wish to do so in a way that suits them, not the managers. This is why managers must engage in a dialogue to find a happy medium.
We should seek to found a charter regarding our principles when it comes to flexibility. This will serve to add a more structured approach, and cause less ad-hoc arrangements, meaning that expectations across the board can be more standardised.
