Overview of presentation

The pandemic has shifted employees’ thinking from why, to why not? Why can’t I work a condensed week? Why can’t I work remotely? It’s forced employers to rethink essential business practices and embrace the rapidly changing nature of work if they want to retain, motivate, and engage their staff. But while hybrid work is here to stay, how do organisations ensure it doesn’t damage productivity in the long-term? In this session, ELMO’s Group CHRO, Monica Watt, will discuss: 

  • How to maintain and strengthen company culture within a dispersed workforce
  • The importance of flexibility, choice, and autonomy for today’s workers
  • How to get managers on board with the shift from input to outcome
  • Why it’s time to forget the five-day-week
