The Pandemic has highlighted that when it comes to information workers delivering on the required outputs of their jobs that this is indeed achievable from “anywhere” with business across all sectors not just surviving but some thrived. Now as we emerge from the pandemic, and we start to think about what the workplace will look like into the future; tough questions will need to be asked.
- Do all staff need to return & why?
- Are your IT systems fit for Hybrid working in realty?
- What role will the office play in the future?
- Are you investigating the use of “hubs”
- Do you think you think staff retention will require a hybrid approach?
- Do you agree with new government legislation & how are you adapting to this?
All the above and more are creating a perfect storm for disruption and innovation. The modern work team in MWH feel that the smart business will embrace these challenges and start to create what their modern workplace looks like. If you need help in understanding some of these topics and what it might mean for your business join us on our webinar, the latest in our thought leadership session.
