One of the highlights of what I do for a living and through volunteering is finding myself surrounded by people from different countries and continents, feeling like a curious, energetic child who wants to learn everything. Thanks to CIPD’s hospitality, and Rebecca Normand GradCG's perfect organisation, we enjoyed an international dinner in Manchester with the CIPD leadership team, World Federation of People Management Associations (WFPMA) delegates, and European Association for People Management EAPM participants. It was great fun and a powerful reminder that we are so similar! We worry about the uncertainties around the world; we try to anticipate change and prepare for it. We are determined to give our best to make things better. Ultimately, we know that we are stronger when we learn from and support one another! This might sound like a romantic notion to you, but believe me, in this new world of uncertainty, we need each other’s wisdom more than ever. If I could offer any humble advice on how to manage change and prepare for the unknown, it would be: “Expand your horizons. One way is to go and find your people. People who know different things than you. People who care about sharing their thoughts with you. People who will challenge you!” #leadership #futureofwork Angela Attah Maria Kolokytha Elli Matsouka David Ducheyne Kai Saard Natalia Peel Sigrún Kjartansdóttir

👫 Gender Quotas in Companies: A Step Towards Greater Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) The conversation around implementing gender quotas in leadership roles is gaining momentum. Quotas are intended to elevate women and other underrepresented groups to decision-making positions, fostering a fairer, more diverse work environment.   ❓ How is your company approaching this? We would love to hear your thoughts through a quick survey. Let’s work together to explore solutions that prepare companies for a future where all talents have equal opportunities in the workplace.   #GenderQuotas #DiversityEquityInclusion #DEI #WorkplaceDiversity #LeadershipDiversity #EqualOpportunities #FutureOfWork #HR #TalentManagement #InclusionMatters

Today, EAPM President Berna Oztinaz joined David Bearfield and Peter Collyer on a live podcast recording facilitated by David D'Souza at the CIPD Annual Conference and Exhibition in Manchester #CIPDACE

🏆 Results Are In: Is the "Back to the Office" Discussion Justified? 🏆 Thank you to everyone who participated in our recent poll! The results reflect the diverse perspectives on the ongoing debate around returning to the office: 🔹  36% believe that the "back to office" discussion is justified. 🔹  56% feel that it is unnecessary, favoring remote or hybrid work. 🔹 5% indicated that they cannot judge the matter. 🔹 3% selected “Other,” providing various unique viewpoints. These results highlight that while some employees see value in returning to the office, the majority prefer the flexibility that remote or hybrid work offers. As organizations navigate this evolving landscape, it’s clear that a “one-size-fits-all” approach doesn’t capture everyone’s needs. ❓ How Can We Lead This Discussion Responsibly? ☑️ Acknowledge Different Work Styles Not everyone thrives in the same environment. Some employees benefit from the collaborative energy of the office, while others excel in a quiet, remote setting. Tailoring options to accommodate different work styles can lead to better engagement and productivity. ☑️ Focus on Results, Not Presence In a results-oriented approach, performance and outcomes matter more than location. Managers should prioritize clear objectives and outcomes, allowing employees the autonomy to work in the environment where they’re most effective. ☑️ Foster Transparent Communication Engaging employees in the conversation and openly sharing the reasons behind any return-to-office policies builds trust. This way, employees feel that their needs are heard and respected. ☑️ Offer Hybrid Solutions Hybrid models can be a strong compromise, combining the benefits of face-to-face collaboration with the flexibility of remote work. Allowing employees to choose their office days fosters both productivity and satisfaction. The “back to office” debate continues, but it’s increasingly evident that flexible, people-centered policies are key to a future where everyone can thrive. #FutureOfWork #BackToOffice #HybridWork #RemoteWork #EmployeeEngagement #WorkCulture #Leadership #PollResults #Flexibility

🏢 Here’s an interesting read about organizations' office and remote work policies. 📊 This aligns well with an ongoing poll on the EAPM LinkedIn page, where we aim to understand whether the debate on returning to the office is even justified. 🌍 On this page, you’ll find information about the remote, hybrid, or office-based work policies that organizations around the world are practicing. #eapm #remotework #backtotheoffice #hybridwork #officepolicy
