Making remote and hybrid working sustainable in 2021

Many organisations are moving on from a year of helping people cope with the initial challenge of working from home into a period where they need to make the skills of remote and hybrid working more mainstream and sustainable for the longer term.

Most expect that working from home will be a larger part of their people’s reality, usually as part of hybrid teams who spend part of the time at home and part of the time in the office.

Many have had a positive experience of productivity and even engagement during this difficult initial period. However, there are lingering concerns about how we make this sustainable and how we deal with challenging remote issues such as establishing healthy boundaries, maintaining trust, being creative, staying visible and managing performance.

This is new to many people but we have been working in this field for over 30 years and have trained over 150,000 people in these skills.

One of our clients recently asked us to put together a short presentation on our recommendations on how we can build the skills for sustainable remote and hybrid working in 2021.

We thought it might be useful to others too so we put together this short video. Please note there is no audio on the video.

If you need to develop sustainable skills for remote and hybrid working in 2021 then get in touch to see how we can help.
