Making Hybrid Work – The Internal Communication Opportunity
Making Hybrid Work – The Internal Communication Opportunity

Since 2020, working at least part of the week away from the office has become a primary expectation for any worker whose work can be delivered remotely.
While most organisations have now adopted some form of hybrid working, many firms are demanding a full return to the office, blaming remote work for poor productivity. It’s clear getting into the flow of effective distributed working remains problematic.
As organisations across the board recognise the growing need to boost team performance and outcomes, new research reveals the way leaders and managers communicate with hybrid and remote colleagues has a significant impact on connectedness, wellbeing and engagement.
This interactive masterclass introduces the opportunity for internal communicators and is a chance to ask your expert trainers advice about how best to improve hybrid work using the art of conversation.
