SUMMARY:Key Steps | Hybrid Work and its tech tools is damaging culture. Or is it not?
DESCRIPTION:Event Day viewing links: http://www.blend.world/academy/live/ and https://www.youtube.com/BlendDotWorld/live  Hybrid work is booming because of tech; the collaboration tools that became popular. But does it impact culture; destructively? People sitting in the same house or workplace can all be looking at different screens and communicating with different people—some within the same physical space—without even considering that they could talk with each other face to face?Such tech may give us the illusion of companionship without the demands of friendship or teammate-ship. At the workplace\, we may feel isolated\, abandoned and lonely….afraid to share. When we cannot share and talk freely with our colleagues\, there is a danger of company culture suffering damage. Or not? Hear it from Philippa Hale\, \, Senior Associate\, Advanced Workplace Associates\, in this breezy conversation.\n\nKey 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. Each episode will explore a shared challenge\, relating to HR\, communication\, culture\, leadership and business growth\, to help business and team leaders everywhere seek comfort in the shared unknown\, understand what changes are afoot and the key steps necessary to prepare today for a future that works. Tune in from any device\, ask questions over live chat and the speaker will respond live.\n\nEvent Day viewing links: http://www.blend.world/academy/live/ and https://www.youtube.com/BlendDotWorld/live\n\nPhilippa Hale is a UK-based senior associate at Advanced Workplace Associates. Having supported Workplace Transformation in companies for 25 years\, Philippa will share key steps on how to upskill leaders and teams\, as organisations adopt hybrid work; such that they add value where it matters most.

Eureka moments are heard of during such encounters. The move to remote working by large populations of knowledge workers has ensured that such chance encounters are few and far between. How does one communicate effectively in these times\, such that the benefits of ensuing bonhomie and eureka-moments are not lost? How does one communicate effectively when there is an overflow of information over digital devices? Hear it from someone that has been researching the knowledge worker mindset for many years and benefit from her access to 20 years of academic research. \nKaren Plum is the director of research and development at Advanced Workplace Associates\, the pioneer in the domain of Workplace Transformation. In a 10-min talk\, she talks about effective communication at times when there is an overflow of information. Hosted by workplace strategist Parthajeet Sarma. \nGET A GLIMPSE OF A PAST SESSION: Want to get a glimpse of a previous 10 min sessions with Karen?

SUMMARY:Workplace Design & Productivity
DESCRIPTION:The ‘work-place’ is no more about physical space alone. It is a blended world of the physical and the digital. Work is what you do\, and not where you go to do it. The conventional workplace as we knew it\, will not be used to ‘get productive at work’ but to fulfill other employee needs like meetings\, collaboration and socialising. In the not so distant future\, data analysis will be able to predict as well as suggest to employees\, where they should work from on a day to day basis\, based on their schedules and deadlines. Pretty much like the way products are marketed to you online\, based on your past shopping behaviour. There will be different typologies of workplaces. In such a scenario\, how will such different workplaces need to be designed? What do Architects and Interior designers need to know now\, so that they can stay ahead of the curve? \nHear it from Raj Krishnamurthy\, founder of London based Freespace\, a technology company\, that has spent years researching the modern-day white collared worker and his/her needs. Understand the thought process behind the design of tech solutions that enables designers and organisations to better plan and manage their workplaces. Understand the considerations behind workplace design that incorporates social distance and health & safety norms. \nA short talk followed by Q&A. For Architects\, Designers and those involved in workplace design and planning.

SUMMARY:Overcoming Trust Deficit in a Virtual World
DESCRIPTION:Click on http://www.blend.world/live/ to view the event live on Blend and engage thru chat\nClick on https://youtube.com/BlendDotWorld/live to watch it live on YouTube and engage thru chat\n\nNo webcams and mics required to attend\, but do REGISTER. Be alerted of future 10-min talks. \nWhen team members do not meet in person and when managers do not get to see their subordinates\, does the trust factor improve or deteriorate? Scores of co-workers work remotely today\, meeting each other occasionally\, and not as often as they used to. Bonhomie\, trust and other social habits get impacted. It is important to pay attention to building and sustaining trust\, particularly when we work apart. \nKaren Plum is the director of research and development at Advanced Workplace Associates\, the pioneer in the domain of Workplace Transformation. In a 10-min talk\, she deep dives into the world of worker wellness to talk about retaining trust amongst co-workers during times\, as large numbers of workers work remotely during the Covid 19 pandemic and beyond.
