1:00

to make the most out of

1:02

hybrid working Thanks for asking. Covid

1:04

allowed many people to work from

1:06

home for the first time and

1:08

created a world where more flexible,

1:10

hybrid working, mixing office work and

1:12

working from home is now possible. But

1:15

there are things to keep in mind

1:17

to optimise this type of experience. Should

1:19

you stick to a set schedule? According

1:21

to Professor Jonathan Trevor at the

1:24

University of Oxford's Sayed Business School,

1:26

he suggests that it's better to

1:28

match the task to the environment

1:30

rather than following a strict schedule.

1:32

He found that focused creative tasks,

1:34

such as designing a brochure, can

1:36

be easily done from home as

1:38

they require little teamwork and are

1:40

easily supported by technology, whereas

1:42

more collaborative tasks are better done

1:44

in the office with the

1:46

hive mind of your colleagues. If

1:49

you're in that mode of work, then

1:51

maybe it's appropriate you should have more

1:53

time in the office, whereas if you're

1:55

doing individual focus work, the balance may

1:57

be more weighted towards virtual working. said

2:00

in the Guardian newspaper, One of

2:02

the problems with working from home

2:04

and not seeing colleagues is that

2:06

you don't have much opportunity to

2:08

bond and build up a rapport

2:11

which is important for trust and

2:13

a sense of organisational culture. Organisational

2:16

culture is the expectations, culture,

2:18

philosophy of a company. Weak

2:20

organisational culture tends to be associated

2:22

with higher levels of conflict and mistrust.

2:24

So for this reason, not only

2:26

is it important to spend some time

2:29

in the office, but, according to

2:31

Trevor, managers need to develop

2:33

skills to manage people in a

2:35

virtual way that still keeps them

2:37

engaged and helps them to identify

2:39

with the organisation they're working for.

2:42

How can you create balance between home

2:44

life and office life? Commuting can

2:46

be time consuming and stressful, but can

2:48

serve a purpose. By

2:50

working from home,

2:53

there's often

2:55

a blur between

2:57

where work

3:00

starts and life

3:02

begins. Although

3:04

a lot of

3:07

people don't

3:09

like commuting, it

3:11

does provide

3:14

a kind of

3:16

physical buffer

3:18

zone between work

3:21

and home. Who

3:23

is hybrid work not good for?

3:25

While the flexibility, time saved on the

3:27

commute and comfort of working from

3:29

home is great for some, it's not

3:31

for everyone. So imposing this work

3:33

style is not a good idea either.

3:35

Younger staff might not have the

3:37

space to work from home. Not only

3:39

this, but they might need the

3:41

advice and presence of more senior team

3:43

members. There you have it. Now

3:47

3:49
