Hybrid Work - The Things you Don't Know.

Hybrid Work. Work from Home. Back to the Office. The Great Resignation.

Four phrases you are probably sick to death of. You certainly wouldn’t want to spend two hours in a dialogic session discussing them. But that’s exactly what we are going to do.

In this week’s Drinking Dialogue, we are going to deep dive into the article we co-wrote with Antony Malmo at Allos Australia, and examine all the things you haven’t heard about hybrid work. We will discuss:

• The 3Fs of Hybrid Work: how they create value for the employee and the employer
• The Science of Exhaustion: why so many hybrid workers are burning out
• Productivity, Performance & Culture: design rules for a hybrid environment

As we said, we think the article explores hybrid in a manner very few pieces of research have yet been able to capture. It’s not just us. Here are a few things people have said about it. 

Nails it. Hybrid working is one of THE most complex, multifaceted organizational challenges/opportunities that we've ever faced. Here he presents the risks, opportunities and emerging solutions in a deceptively simple and compelling way. I cannot recommend this more highly. It's a must read for every organizational leader and every knowledge worker!

Excellent, data-informed insights on the present and future of work from one of the savviest practitioners of his kind I’ve encountered.

Best write up on the topic of hybrid working thus far. No BS and challenges some of the existing mindsets around what hybrid is and isn’t.

If you aren’t sick of the concept, and feel that a well-designed hybrid workplace is going to be a competitive advantage for your organisation, then this Drinking Dialogue is for you.
