What is the office for?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome to foHRsight – a podcast about making work better brought to you by future foHRward.
Following a query from one of our listeners (thank you!), in this our second episode, we share more thoughts about how the office can be used as part of your hybrid strategy.
Before we get in to that we start with a check-in and share what we have learnt in 2022. For Naomi it’s the importance of connection and for Mark the value of human-centred leadership – more to follow in future episodes!
What is the value of the office?
You’ll hear Naomi talking about the importance of leaders articulating “they why”. A mandatory return to the office “just because” isn’t enough.
Naomi goes on to outline some ideas of the activity you can encourage people to do at the office.
- Deep collaboration – as outlined in Gustavo Razzetti’s book Remote not Distant
- On-the-job learning
- Exchanging human energy and relationship building
