‘Navigating turbulent times’ episode 17: ‘Lockdown lessons to empower workplace change’ with Ricoh
Register your place now for ‘Navigating turbulent times’ episode 17 when we look at how the lockdown experience can be a catalyst for workplace leadership, insight and change in ‘Lockdown lessons to empower workplace change’ in partnership with Ricoh.
The ‘remote working experiment’ during COVID-19 has wrought tremendous strains on people and organisations, but it has also allowed for a re-think on what we want our workplaces to be in the future. Many eyes have been opened to the pros and cons of flexible working; we have also seen a huge cultural shift in our working practices that was unthinkable before social distancing measures came into place. There is now a real opportunity for creating lasting workplace change – but how to achieve it?
Join Ian Ellison, Director at 3edges, and Simone Fenton-Jarvis, Workplace Consultancy Director at Ricoh, as they look at how the guidance notes from IWFM’s ‘Creating better workplaces’ partnership with Ricoh can help you affect workplace change in a practical, sequenced way. They will also share real world examples of how the guidance has helped organisations to improve their workplaces. Hosting this episode is Peter Brogan, Head of Research and Insight at IWFM.
