Episode 101: Designing connected workplaces for tomorrow

If you’d said the word ‘hybrid’ a few years ago, it most likely would have been in connection with a car. Say the word ‘hybrid’ today and it instantly brings to mind the workplace. Following the ‘great working from home experiment’ of 2020/2021, and as the return to the office continues, one big question keeps igniting passionate debates: ‘Where will people work from?’.  In this episode of Digital Workplace Impact, host Nancy Goebel is joined by DWG’s Director of Knowledge, Shimrit Janes; together they discuss the complex and multidimensional issues that can arise from this question.   In theory, it might seem like a simple question, with a simple answer. People who are desk-based will work either from an office or from home, often flexing between the two. The ‘hybrid’ at hand is therefore simply a workforce that exists across both locations – or is it? Earlier this year, Shimrit produced one of DWG’s latest research reports, entitled Hybrid work reimagined: Advanced practices for connected workplaces. Picking up on this, Nancy and Shimrit discuss some of the ideas the research uncovered and consider what may come next. Join them to hear more about structures and equity, challenges and practices, along with some great advice to help you make the most of the hybrid workplace. (Show notes, links and transcript for this episode.) Guest speaker:  Shimrit Janes, Director of Knowledge at DWG  Hosted on Acast.
