Our foHRsight on hybrid work

Welcome to foHRsight – a podcast about making work better brought to you by future foHRward.

It’s our first episode so what better topic to talk about than hybrid work! It’s dominated the headlines and the work of HR leaders for the last 18 months and has certainly been a big area of focus for our work as well.

In this episode we start by sharing the framework we use to think about the new world of work – it’s also how we structure our newsletter foHRsight.

1. Building the Worker Ecosystem
2. Enabling Talent to Get the Work Done
3. The Learning-Agile Organization
4. Wellbeing in the Workplace

Following a check-in about why we’re both so excited about our new podcast, we talk about the opportunity that hybrid work brings to organizations and how they should think about it.

This includes:

• The crossroads we are at with organizations pushing for a return to the office while many employees are looking to hang on to the flexibility they have enjoyed over the last couple of years.
• The risk of thinking that hybrid work is all about the return to the office. It’s not. Hybrid work provides a long term talent play that can make a difference to your organization.
• The importance of being deliberate about where and when work gets done.
