It goes without saying that the pandemic has transformed our way of working now and in the future. We have witnessed together a rapid change in our mindset, in our leadership and in our ability to adopt new technologies and work in a virtual setting. Organisations have had to literally transform their operating models overnight. Luckily people have been accommodating of this rapid transformation.

But what impact has that had on our capacity to lead effectively and on our ability to attract and retain our people?

As we now plan our return back to the office, what should we consider as leaders to ensure we have an effective operating model in the future?

In this session, I am speaking with Dr Florian Kunze and Sophia Zimmermann about their recent research which explores the impact of remote working on our mental wellbeing, and productivity. We also explore some of the learnings that leaders and organisations could take on board as we reintegrate into the office after the pandemic.
