12. Reducing down video
fatigue and improving
face to face
communications will
be key to winning the
Hybrid Office
1.
13. The office of the past
was too heavily centred
around meetings, culture
of poor communications
and reliance on chat
tools. Rethink these to
improve and win the
future.
2.
14. A number of important
decisions have to be made
‘in person’. Enable smarter
communication, improve
meeting etiquette and
centralise notes and follow
up actions (the who, what, where
and by when) to help shape your
company’s performance
3.
15. New Considerations
1. New Satellite offices - offering new
satellite offices for swarms of
employees, enabling a flexible space,
geared for meetings, away sessions
and dedicated focused work.
2. Smaller localised co-working
spaces - designed for more flexible
workspace, enabling teams to
maximise output of teams
4.
16. The next normal will be
- Employee first
- Choice led
- Flexible
- New working schedule. Not based
on 40-hour work week
The future will be based on skills and
delivery of the team not the
convenience for business and office
space

17. 3 Areas To Win:
1. Create Agreed Principles
2. People First

18. An Important Reminder:
- Go the extra mile supporting the staff
- Set up a hotline, a private channel on your chat tool or email for those
who require support
- Set up a mental health helpline or offer a mental health partner who
can support staff independently. This increases trust and enables
people to speak freely
- Remember to go over and above your guidelines
- Reduce Anxiety: Be wary that many people are anxious about working
at home or anxious about coming back to the office. COVID spikes and
localised lockdowns will be stressful for all.
- With localised guidelines, it will be important to keep everyone
updated especially while working from home or working remotely
