DX Done Right 41: Best Practices For Working From Home | S01E41
Part 1: Best Practices For Working From Home.
Recent economic developments around the world have inspired many businesses to assess or reassess the value of work from home (WFH) employment strategy. Managed well, remote work can bring advantages to team productivity and worker satisfaction.
People who have enjoyed years of remote work opportunities are helping those new to the idea, offering advice based on their own transitions to telecommuting as both employees and managers. There are, of course, challenges associated with working from home. In addition to logistical considerations, there are practical strategies that a person accustomed to office work can learn from telecommuting veterans.
Part 2: Why Pivoting People Is a Strategic Priority
To best prepare their organizations and workforces for post-pandemic changes, leaders should think through a set of critical questions.
Just like post-pandemic physical workspaces will need revising, so too will the skill sets and capabilities of our employees. Yes, leaders absolutely need to reimagine the workplace, but organizations cannot lose sight of the people returning to those spaces. Focusing solely on redesigning the workplace or offering flexible work arrangements (such as remote or hybrid options) without considering employees will hamstring organizations by leaving their people in the lurch.
Part 3: The Enabling Power of Trust
Future of Leadership in the Digital Economy
What will it take to become a great leader in the digital economy? What will be the differentiating skill sets (what individuals will need to do) and mindsets (how they will need to think and behave) that will shed light on what it will take to lead next-generation organizations effectively? We have set out to address these important questions as the foundation for MIT Sloan Management Review’s newest Big Ideas Initiative: The Future of Leadership in the Digital Economy.
