Organisations moving towards a more hybrid way of working, mixing at-home and at-office working arrangements, can capitalise on their decreased dependency on the physical office by recruiting in geographical locations that they usually would not have reached. They can also recruit people who previously would have been difficult for organisations to work with, such as those house-bound for mobility or health reasons. Diversity is not just about race, ethnicity, and gender but also age, perspective, physical ability and background.

As organisations face a partial return to the office, hybrid working, or the blending of on and off-site approaches, has presented new challenges to employee morale. Understanding the ways in which this new world has the potential to impact employee wellbeing, makes it possible for leaders to keep their focus on this and take early action to reduce risk.

As leaders we are constantly on the lookout for breakthroughs to take our organisations and our teams to the next level.

In the current highly-competitive climate, reviewing how we operate internally and consciously driving employee engagement can offer the kind of transformation that will enable us stay ahead of the curve. Transparency is critical to that breakthrough, playing a vital role inside our company walls.
