The past couple of years have been transformational for many of us, in terms of how we think about work, and where and when we conduct our work tasks. The term workplace flexibility, or workflex, refers to employees having some level of choice or flexibility over where and when they conduct their work tasks. Hybrid work is a subset of workplace flexibility, which focusses on the ‘where’ component, and employees having some level of flexibility over the location where they conduct their work tasks. As we now learn to live and work with Covid, it is clear that many of us will follow some sort of hybrid work arrangement in the future – dividing our time between the office and other remote work locations. This course examines the different locations of work, and some of the technologies we use that make hybrid work possible – we discuss what offices might look like in the future, how we can maximize the work from home experience, and think about some other possible destinations where hybrid workers might find themselves working in the future.

Work culture describes the shared values, belief systems, attitudes and assumptions that people in a workplace share. Whilst work culture is often built from the bottom up, leadership and management influence workplace culture to a huge extent. It affects how organizations function and respond to challenge. A positive workplace culture improves teamwork, raises the morale, increases productivity and efficiency, and enhances retention of the workforce. Job satisfaction, collaboration, and work performance are all enhanced, and a positive workplace environment reduces stress in employees. This course emphasizes the importance of establishing a healthy hybrid culture and discusses a number of steps that you can try to help improve the workplace culture at your organization.

If organizations are able to create a culture of clear communication, excellence and learning, they can leverage hybrid work as a mechanism to support the sort of workplace flexibility that enables organizations to flourish and build significant competitive advantage. When operating hybrid work arrangements that involve different members of the team working from different locations at any one time, traditional channels for business communication aren’t always appropriate, and having the right communication channels and protocols in place is essential for successfully supporting any hybrid work model. Throughout this course we look at hybrid communication modes in greater detail, discuss the importance of finding the right balance between synchronous and asynchronous communication methods, and suggest some steps you can take to improve your hybrid meetings. When transitioning to any new way of working like this, it’s inevitable that you will need to develop or recruit some new skills along the way too - therefore, we also discuss some potential skills requirements and ways in which you might address them, when transitioning to hybrid ways of working.

Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, the topic of flexible and remote work has gained huge attention and has hardly been out of the media headlines, from the moment organizations around the world were forced into sending their employees home to work as the only available option a ensuring business continuity in the face of harsh lockdown conditions. Whilst almost everybody thought this would be a short term solution at the time, the lockdowns went on for much longer than we ever imagined, to the point where working from home is now the new norm for many. Now, more than 2 years on, even though many countries have lifted restrictions after having reaching appropriate vaccination targets, the vast majority of knowledge workers are still working from home.. at least some of the time. Having experienced the benefits of increased workplace flexibility first-hand, and it’s potential for achieving a better overall work-life balance, many employees are understandably not keen to give it up.

This course tackles the subject of hybrid work and discusses the key themes, as identified in leading research conducted first-hand by the Instructor, and creates a framework you can follow for designing and implementing your own hybrid work arrangements.
