We invite you to a virtual conversation to continue the discussion on the evolving nature of workplaces and transforming the state of work in the public sector focusing on  in-person, remote or hybrid work environments. Engage in a dialogue, ask questions, and learn from others. This is part two of a two-part series. 

Within remote and hybrid workspaces, organizations will need to focus on innovative and supportive ways to undertake supervision, coaching, relationship connections and supporting healthy work strategies in a more purposeful way. Effective networking and collaboration occur in different contexts that enable workers to connect in-person as teams and time to work individually. Skills training and development may occur differently in hybrid work models, and this is a key issue for worker satisfaction, health and wellness, employee retention, succession opportunities, and career planning. The following questions will be explored in this session.

  • What does this mean for the design and sustainability of hybrid work environments?

  • Do hybrid workplaces benefit workers disproportionately or create more benefits for employers than employees?

  • How are key work elements of mentorship, wellness, social connections, and relationship development achieved within remote and hybrid work environments?
