In hybrid work, one of the biggest management challenges is to ensure that remote workers are treated the same as those in the office. Without such equality, the hybrid model will start to erode as workers recognise the link between being in the office and their own professional success. Seamless connectivity becomes very important. Investing in technology is essential now. Such investment will become necessary because, having seen the benefits of remote work, there needs to be a very compelling reason for workers to be in the office or to be loyal to an organisation, if others allow better. What are the bare minimum changes you need to make at your workplace to make remote workers feel as valued as those in office? Find out in this breezy 10 min live conversation with Paul Wood, Infrastructure and Operations Manager at CIPD.

Key Steps from the Advanced Workplace Institute (“AWI”): AWI presents a series of short (10-12 mins), focused ‘How-To-Do-It‘ type talks, followed by live Q&A on a trending topic around new ways of working.
