In 2020, working from home became the norm for millions worldwide. Across the creative sector, there are many thousands of individuals in teams functioning differently from before, whether distancing in studios or offices, working remotely, or a hybrid of the two.
As lockdowns begin to ease and the world opens up again, company leaders are finding themselves grappling with the best ways to move forward with their teams.
Though remote working arrangements have been praised for their convenience, cost-saving and “time liberation”, other employees have found difficulty in taking time off, and the lines between work and home becoming increasingly blurred.
This session, led by Sallyann Keizer (managing director of Sixth Sense media and founder of Happynesshub) is designed to shed some light on the pros and cons of each situation and give tangible takeaways for company leaders navigating the next stage of the pandemic, to help them move forward in the best way for their teams into 2022 and beyond.
