Listen "Episode #20. Julie Kantor and Felice Ekelman on How To Thrive With A Hybrid Workplace"
Episode Synopsis
The nature of work has changed, so how we manage it must change, too.As businesses barrel along into the fast-changing digital age, we find that the very nature of work has changed. The new name for the office or the factory is the hybrid workplace. Not only where we do work, but how we do work has changed, and how we synchronize work with each other has changed the most. For the firm, productivity is at risk. And all the standard approaches to business that we’ve been taught are outdated. Take management as an example. How do you manage a hybrid workplace and workforce. Our point of view at The Value Creators is that management is an old-fashioned concept we have to discard. We need something new. The Value Creators podcast hosted two of the best experts to address the challenges of the hybrid workplace, Julie Kantor and Felice Ekelman. They are co-authors of the book that will provide the background to our discussion today: Thrive With A Hybrid Workplace: Step-by-Step Guidance from the Experts.Shownotes:0:00 | Intro03:06 | Old System VS New System: Work-life Balance & Remote Work During the Pandemic09:55 | Hybrid Work and Leadership in a Post-Pandemic World14:02 | Hybrid Model: Nine to Five Model is Gone16:42 | Hybrid Workplace: Seven Seas Framework22:53 | Hybrid Policy: How Are We Managing Change?24:50 | Culture of change: Importance of Face-to-Face Connection28:07 | Communication, Collaboration, and Leadership in a Hybrid Work Environment34:46 | Coaching as a Fundamental Part of the Hybrid37:27 | Smart Goals: Well-Being in the Workplace38:48 | Productivity in the Hybrid Workspace41:34 | Hybrid Workspace: Compliance Load46:12| Wrap up: Where are we heading?
