Creative United present a webinar with business consultant Andrew Evans who will unpack the challenges and benefits of managing teams who work remotely or in a site-based and home-based hybrid.
Covid-19’s biggest impact on the heritage, creative and cultural sectors, has been the closure of venues which, thankfully, will be only temporary. The second biggest impact, the relocation of hundreds of thousands of staff from sites and offices to working from home, is far more likely to be permanent, at least in part.
Whilst many of us will be delighted to see colleagues and visitors again in person there is unlikely to be any appetite for an immediate return to crowded rush-hour transport five days a week. Hybrid models seem the most likely result – but how will they work and what are the issues for the heritage sector? As a dynamic sector, well accustomed to bringing together diverse teams of employees and volunteers working in different capacities and across disciplines, there is much that we already know about flexibility that can help us to adapt to and make the most of the new changes on the horizon.
This webinar, with business consultant Andrew Evans, will untangle some of the key challenges facing heritage organisations as we all find our feet in this new world. It will include practical advice on:
- Understanding current government advice
- Employee expectations for the future
- Legal obligations for employers around home working
- EDI and mental health impacts of remote working
- Managing hybrid models
- Productivity impacts of remote working
- Cost-saving opportunities for remote working
- Retaining organisational culture
This webinar will give you new tools and confidence to approach the coming changes!
