4 Day Week - Global’s Post

In today's fast-paced work environment, where screens dominate our daily routines, the value of a change of scenery cannot be overstated. As employers, it's crucial to recognize the profound impact that environment has on employee well-being and productivity. Offering opportunities for a change of scenery, whether through remote work options, offsite retreats, or flexible workspaces, can breathe new life into teams and invigorate creativity. A change of scenery isn't just about swapping desks or relocating meetings; it's about providing a fresh perspective that fuels innovation and inspires collaboration. Stepping away from the familiar confines of the office can stimulate new ideas, break down barriers, and encourage out-of-the-box thinking. Whether it's a day spent working from a nearby café, a team-building retreat in nature, or a collaborative session in a different department's workspace, these experiences foster a sense of adventure and curiosity among employees. Moreover, they remind us that the world is full of diverse environments and perspectives waiting to be explored. By embracing change and offering opportunities for a change of scenery, employers demonstrate their commitment to employee well-being, creativity, and growth. Let's reimagine the way we work and harness the power of new surroundings to unlock the full potential of our teams. #ChangeOfScenery #EmployeeWellness #Innovation

Why Flexibility is the Secret Ingredient in Job Selection In 2024, the challenge for employers is clear: balance the value of flexibility with the need for face-to-face interactions. With the rise of hybrid working models, companies are finding innovative ways to harmonise remote and in-office work. Here’s why 👀 Hybrid Work Benefits: According to CBRE’s 2022 Global Live-Work-Shop survey, flexibility is a top factor in job selection. Hybrid models enhance productivity, job satisfaction, and work-life integration (Financial Times, 2020). Office Interactions: Face-to-face meetings foster community, collaboration, and innovation. Redesigned office spaces support spontaneous interactions while respecting the need for flexibility. Work-Life Balance: Flexible schedules allow employees to manage personal needs and work rhythms, enhancing fulfilment and engagement. Optimised Work Environments: Quality workspaces with ergonomic furniture, natural lighting, and wellness services are becoming essential.

Are we in the midst of our own Einstein moment? You know the one where he says "we can't solve a problem with the same thinking that created it" ⛔ I think there are a lot of pre-pandemic mindsets being applied to our post-pandemic context at the moment. ⛔ For example, office attendance being conflated with increased productivity. ⛔ Or, the belief that mandating 3 days a week in the office is alone going to increase collaboration and improve innovation. ✅ Let's move beyond the fixation of the office being THE place work happens, it is A place where work happens, but there are other places too - home and a whole array of fabulous 'third spaces' where we can access our digital workspace. ✅ Let's transcend the notion of 'hybrid working' and focus on the 'how' of work. ✅ Focusing on those things that increase engagement, retention of good people, and deliver performance. 🌀 Join me online on 26 April to hear the latest trends on performance, engagement, and how the multi-stage life and workforce eco-system are changing work forever. 🌀 I'll be sharing five strategies to create high performance flexibility in a modern workplace. 🌐 BOOKING NOW OPEN: https://lnkd.in/d_9dsmxd
