Global events have seen a shift to working from home, where this may never have been an option before. Trends that would have played out over years are now happening in a matter of months. With offices re-opening, a majority of workers would prefer to work from home for at least some of their time, which has led to businesses turning their focus to the option of hybrid working.
To support the development of a hybrid working ecosystem, we treat it is as a strategic change process. Our solution is designed for employees at every level, creating a sustainable culture of inclusion. To ease the transition, our blended toolkit helps facilitate hybrid working with new, agreed options; sharing power by providing structures of feedback and accountability.

Online learning, gamification, app-based journeys, video content, webinars.
EXPERIENTIAL

Who Is It For
Hybrid working isn’t a binary choice of home or office. It is flexible with a variety of working modes, from permanently remote workers, to partial and full-time office-based working.
Leaders will need to tend to the new ecosystem, supporting their teams to accomplish tasks to a high standard and enabling them to thrive within their roles.
Our hybrid working solution provides a transformational toolkit for all levels of staff, and can be attended by:
- Employees
- Managers
- Leaders
- C-suite & board
Creating a 'Work from anywhere' ecosystem
Giving your teams the freedom to plan ways of working based on their preferences and energy levels can see highly increased satisfaction and engagement. The benefits are clear: a better work–life balance, being able to focus, more time for family and friends, saved commuting costs and higher levels of motivation.
However, it’s not a one-size-fits-all for every workplace. To create a thriving ecosystem, it needs to be context-driven and individualised to each organisation. It’s vital to consider how this way of working will impact the culture, communication and processes of internal groups. It is also important to understand the limitations of hybrid working. Being clear about core working hours, or which roles are less conducive to hybrid working are important factors to consider.
Key Outcomes
The land – The physical spaces in which people work. The ‘office’ could be just that, or equally a kitchen table, a purpose built room in a garden, or a co-working space.
The environment – The culture, values, social networks, opportunities to collaborate and the ways in which the organisations groups work together.
Testing the soil – Planning your path to a hybrid environment can be complicated if you don’t know what you’re facing. That’s why we use a suite of diagnostic tools to best assess the specific needs of your organisation and teams.
