WORKING CULTURE

Building a successful hybrid working culture

To help our members build a successful hybrid culture, we commissioned a new toolkit from the experienced team at Juggle Strategies.

The toolkit is filled with practical checklists, coaching videos and exercises to help employers work through how hybrid working fits within their workplace.

It includes a 5-step program, covering: ӱ Executive alignment, ӱ Team ways of working, ӱ Individual conversations, ӱ The role of the office and ӱ Tools to go further.

“Getting hybrid ways of working right not only requires a different organisational approach (away from rules and policy, and more towards principles and guidelines) but is also going to require a different approach to leadership than some managers have been used to.

The focus for leaders now is on providing direction, trust and support to their people so they can have some autonomy on what is the best way for them to get their jobs done. It is about building the two-way relationship of trust and accountability - extending trust, and expecting accountability back.

Therefore the leader’s role is focused on behaviour rather than implementation of and adherence to rules.
