WAYS OF WORKING: ENGAGING LEADERSHIP IN A HYBRID WORLD
In this session, Susan Clews, CEO for Acas, will discuss the changing landscape of the way we work, as many businesses are opting to maintain the format of hybrid working, brought about by the pandemic.
Susan will outline the current trends in both hybrid and wider flexible working practices, exploring what the benefits and challenges associated with hybrid working are, especially regarding business productivity.
Mark Dixon
IWG Plc Founder and CEOHYBRID WORKING: A FLASH IN THE PAN OR HERE TO STAY?
The pandemic has certainly had a dramatic and permanent effect, but it’s merely accelerated a trend that’s been underway for several years, as organisations progressively move to a ‘hybrid’ way of working: at home, a local office and occasionally at a corporate HQ. Mark Dixon will explore why hybrid is here to stay and the benefits for people, the planet and company profits.

THE ROLE OF THE OFFICE IN A HYBRID WORLD
With most office based people now wanting to spend more time at home, is there still a role for a physical office?
How do you ensure wellbeing, alignment to the organisation and learning from others at home?
Most organisations have physical space that they can not easily “give up” –so how do we best use this asset?
