After a dramatic exit from her corporate job, Nola Simon invites us to learn from the past as we design a more human-centric workscape. Touching on the importance of flexibility, Simon encourages building leadership skills to become more adept at managing a dispersed workforce. We examine the disconnect between leaders and employees, the need for clear and effective communication and examples of leaders’ efforts to build their understanding of both employee and customer experience. Simon emphasizes how critical it is to define the tasks that are necessary to drive results, and to honour the need for employee mastery and autonomy to drive better business outcomes.A hybrid/remote consultant and sought-after authority in the field, Nola Simon has over a decade of experience working in a hybrid or remote fashion while tending billion-dollar relationships. Nola is the creator of the Hybrid/Remote Centre of Excellence, a platform for professionals to learn, exchange ideas and knowledge.
