The Chief Psychology Officer
Ep33 Successful Hybrid Working
Show Notes

The Covid Pandemic has been the biggest global stress event since WW2 and has encouraged us as business leaders and HR managers to have a greater focus than ever on the mental health and wellbeing of our people. In this podcast we explore hybrid working, the research behind creating successful and happy hybrid workforces, and how we can get the best out of our people to drive individual and organisational success. We know that to retain and motivate a happy and healthy workforce is critical for success because people thrive when the environment is right for them. We also look at the link between hybrid working and psychological safety and how neuroscience plays a part in helping people to feel happy, healthy and well when working from home.
