Podcasts about hybrid working

A survey from the Ireland Chapter of the Project Management Institute (PMI) shows that more than half (56%) of project managers believe remote or hybrid working has a positive impact on project success rates. The research involving over 100 project management professionals also found that the average cost of failed projects during the last 12 months was approximately €653K - down 11% from last year's estimated cost of failed projects at €710K. Conducted by the Ireland Chapter of PMI, the survey was carried out to tie in with its annual national conference, Navigating The Next Wave, in association with EY. The event explored the next wave of project management innovation and impact and featured Dr Lolly Mancey, Anthropologist, Futurist, and Innovation Advocate as keynote speaker. The latest survey from the Ireland Chapter of PMI also revealed that remote or hybrid working was among the leading sustainability practices within the sector. The others were choosing sustainable suppliers and partners (20%), waste management practices (18%), sustainability KPIs (12%), and measurement of carbon emissions during projects (11%). On the topic of sustainability, 55% of project management professionals say it is a key factor when outlining project delivery models. Furthermore, 76% revealed that companies are more interested in sustainability compared to a year ago and over a third (35%) view it as very important in terms of managing projects. However, despite the perceived positive impact of remote or hybrid working on project success rates and sustainability efforts, some 47% of project managers said that they are expected to be in the office more now compared to a year ago. Furthermore, the research found that the biggest challenge when it comes to managing remote or hybrid teams concerns communication issues - cited by almost half (48%) of respondents. Lack of collaboration, scheduling conflicts, lack of team culture, and lack of visibility were the other leading challenges in this regard. Perhaps unsurprisingly, power skills (including communication, problem-solving, collaborative leadership and strategic thinking) were deemed to be the most crucial for project managers in the future. Peter Glynne, President of the Ireland Chapter of PMI, said: "Project management across Ireland is fast evolving with the ambition, scale and complexity of projects ever increasing. Project management professionals need to be able to navigate this next wave of innovation - something which we discussed at our annual conference. That means adopting workstyles and deploying technologies that enable the sector to drive success, manage costs, and support sustainability. It also means addressing any barriers and upskilling for the future, otherwise the potential to drive real impact for Ireland through ambitious projects will be lost." Jennifer Ryan, EY Ireland Transformation Delivery Business Consulting Partner, said: "EY were delighted to once again be title sponsors for the PMI National Conference. At EY, we understand that project management is on the cusp of transformational change with the introduction of technological change and new work practices. As such, we're delighted that this year's conference highlighted the transformative potential of AI, the importance of sustainability, and the future of work. At EY, we recognise that organisations and Transformation Management Offices (TMOs) are already adapting in response to these three themes, particularly as they realign the capabilities that they require to maximise the efficiency of the delivery of transformation."

Covid allowed many people to work from home for the first time and created a world where more flexible, hybrid working, mixing office work and working from home is now possible. But there are things to keep in mind to optimise this type of experience According to Prof Jonathan Trevor at the University of Oxford's Saïd Business School he suggests that it is better to match the task to the environment rather than following a strict schedule. He found that focused creative tasks, such as designing a brochure, can be easily done from home as they require little teamwork. Should you stick to a set schedule? How can you build team spirit? How can you create balance between home life and office life? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

The importance of wellbeing in the workplace has shifted significantly since the pandemic. That's according to recent survey which found that more than two-thirds of Irish workers see hybrid or flexible work arrangements as essential to their health and wellbeing. Peter Cosgrove discusses if workplace wellbeing is essential for all companies now.

Alison Williams and Charles Pigott explore the future of hybrid working, taking in the latest case law and policy developments. 

IrishJobs has published the results of its Jobs Index for Q4 2024, revealing that the level of hybrid working vacancies remains unchanged quarter on quarter, an indicator that job candidates continue to hold the balance of power in the talent market. Findings from the Index show that the proportion of hybrid working vacancies as a share of total vacancies has remained stable at 10.7% for the second successive quarter. Over the past eight quarters, the share of hybrid working vacancies has fluctuated between 12.2% and 10.7%, indicating that the hybrid work model will remain a substantial feature of the Irish labour market. As we move through the year, tracking this metric will provide important insight into whether candidates continue to hold the balance of power in the talent market throughout 2025. Globally, there are signs of an emerging trend in which large companies and Governments are bringing employees back to the office full-time. In contrast, the number of fully remote vacancies has fallen by 80.6% since the high recorded in Q3 2022. The share of fully remote vacancies as a proportion of total vacancies was 2.3% in Q4 2024, close to its lowest level since 2019. These findings indicate that fully remote work vacancies will remain stable at a relatively low, near pre-pandemic, level across 2025 and beyond. Sectoral Trends The Catering sector (11%), which includes jobs in hospitality, accounted for the largest number of vacancies over the past three months. Management (7%), Customer Service (7%), Health (7%), and Sales (6%) completed the top five sectors that made up the largest number of vacancies. As construction related activity continues to rise to meet demand for housing and other infrastructure, the construction sector (5.7%) accounted for the sixth largest source of job vacancies, overtaking the IT sector (5%) for the second successive quarter. The Engineering sector generated a similar proportion of job vacancies (5%) as the IT sector, indicating the importance of interrelated sectors in supporting construction activity. Commenting on the index's release, Sam Dooley, Country Director of The Stepstone Group Ireland with responsibility for IrishJobs, said: "The latest economic forecast from Ibec shows that the Irish economy will continue to grow in 2025, predicting GDP growth of 1.7% in 2025 and 2.1% in 2026. Employment is forecast to expand at a rate of 2.4% this year and a further 2% in 2026. The IrishJobs Q4 Jobs Index provides an important insight into shifting labour market trends against this evolving backdrop. There has been much focus on return-to-office mandates by large corporates in Ireland and internationally, and IrishJobs data shows fully remote working continues to fall as an employment offering. However, our analysis also reveals growing stability in the level of hybrid working vacancies offered by employers in Ireland, indicating this work model is likely to remain a feature of the labour market. However, as we move through the year, it will be interesting to track this metric and see whether candidates continue to hold the balance of power in the talent market throughout 2025. With unemployment close to record lows and many employers navigating a highly competitive market for talent, incorporating hybrid working can create a more attractive offering for potential talent. IrishJobs research shows that nearly half of jobseekers would be willing to turn down opportunities that do not provide hybrid or fully remote working options." Cautious hiring sentiment prevails The Index reveals a 9% quarterly decrease in the number of new job vacancies created. While forecasted economic growth remains strong for 2025, heightened geopolitical uncertainty and a shifting international trading environment are prompting a cautious hiring sentiment across many industries. Overall, sectors associated with the domestic economy are more resilient than internationally traded sectors. The Construction (6%), Travel (3%) ...

In this podcast, Paul and Richard tackle one of the questions we have been asked a lot since the pandemic ended - How do you build trust between team members and teams that don't spend that much time in the office. Building trust between individuals and groups is far more complex than many of us realise because we do it so easily when we are together.  We build trusting relationships through the micro-moments we spend together: before meetings, over lunch, getting coffee and in quick informal interactions.  We also build trust through working together.  It is the combination of both these types of trust that forms the relationships that we need to work together. As leaders, we must change how our teams interact to ensure that the trust we need to achieve our goals is actively built so our teams can leverage trust when things get tough.

Lucinda welcomes back Gary Cookson from Epic HR to discuss his upcoming book, "Making Hybrid Working Work." They delve into the current landscape of hybrid working, exploring why some organisations are pushing for a return to the office while others successfully embrace hybrid models. Gary also highlights the demographic factors influencing leadership decisions and the importance of trust in managing remote teams. KEY TAKEAWAYS Organisations that are struggling with hybrid working often haven't fully committed to making it work. Successful hybrid models require genuine effort and adaptation rather than superficial adjustments. The push for a return to the office is often driven by senior leadership teams that may not represent the broader employee demographic. This lack of diversity in leadership can skew perceptions of what works best for the workforce. Managers who have traditionally operated in face-to-face environments may struggle with trust in remote settings. Effective hybrid management requires unlearning old habits and developing new skills to foster trust and engagement. Establishing a management contract between managers and employees can clarify expectations and support needs. This approach encourages open communication about how individuals prefer to be managed in a hybrid environment. BEST MOMENTS "The common theme... is that they haven't really tried to make it work in the first place... they haven't really put a lot of effort into it." "The people who are making these decisions... do tend to be white, middle-aged male. And that does seem to be driving the return to office mandates." "It's almost lazy in that sense, like you have to work slightly harder to be lazy." "What you think hybrid work is, is different than anybody else listening to this. And that's because your context matters."

*** Summary *** In this episode, I confront the stubborn myth the return-to-office is the only way for business and teams to thrive. It is time we accept that hybrid workplaces are here to stay and I urge leaders to be inclusive in exploring the new ways of working that prioritise employee well-being and, crucially, introvert inclusion.   The outdated leadership practices often perpetuate bias—especially against those who thrive outside traditional office settings. It's a bold invitation to redesign workplace culture with flexibility, productivity, and genuine connection at the core, rather than clinging to outdated methods.    It is time to redefine the leadership norms and embrace "grown-up conversations" around flexibility, trust, and connection. Bold, inclusive hybrid working isn't just possible—it's necessary.   *** Key Points *** Presenteeism is not Productivity Proximity bias is real - and is outdated. Flexibility is not a perk, but an essential.   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

00:48 Short-haul spaceflight's effect on the human body.A comprehensive suite of biomedical data, collected during the first all-civilian spaceflight, is helping researchers unpick the effects that being in orbit has on the human body. Analysis of data collected from the crew of SpaceX's Inspiration4 mission reveals that short duration spaceflight can result in physiological changes similar to those seen on longer spaceflights. These changes included things like alterations in immune-cell function and a lengthening of DNA telomeres, although the majority of these changes reverted soon after the crew landed.Collection: Space Omics and Medical Atlas (SOMA) across orbits12:13 Research HighlightsResearchers have discovered why 2019 was so awash with Painted Lady butterflies, and the meaning behind gigantic rock engravings along the Orinoco river.Research Highlight: A huge outbreak of butterflies hit three continents — here's whyResearch Highlight: Mystery of huge ancient engravings of snakes solved at last14:55 The benefits of working from home, some of the timeA huge trial of hybrid working has shown that this approach can help companies retain employees without hurting productivity. While a mix of home and in-person working became the norm for many post-pandemic, the impacts of this approach on workers' outputs remains hotly debated and difficult to test scientifically. To investigate the effects of hybrid working, researchers randomly selected 1,612 people at a company in China to work in the office either five days a week or three. In addition to the unchanged productivity, employees said that they value the days at home as much as a 10% pay rise. This led to an increase in staff retention and potential savings of millions of dollars for the company involved in the trial.Research article: Bloom et al.Editorial: The case for hybrid working is growing — employers should take note25:50: Briefing ChatGermany balks at the $17 billion bill for CERN's new supercollider, and working out when large language models might run out of data to train on.Nature News: CERN's $17-billion supercollider in question as top funder criticizes costAssociated Press: AI ‘gold rush' for chatbot training data could run out of human-written textSubscribe to Nature Briefing, an unmissable daily round-up of science news, opinion and analysis free in your inbox every weekday.Subscribe to Nature Briefing: AI and Robotics Hosted on Acast.

Covid allowed many people to work from home for the first time and created a world where more flexible, hybrid working, mixing office work and working from home is now possible. But there are things to keep in mind to optimise this type of experience According to Prof Jonathan Trevor at the University of Oxford's Saïd Business School he suggests that it is better to match the task to the environment rather than following a strict schedule. He found that focused creative tasks, such as designing a brochure, can be easily done from home as they require little teamwork. Should you stick to a set schedule? How can you build team spirit? How can you create balance between home life and office life? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Nick Bloom, Professor of Economics at Stanford University and co-Founder of wfhresearch.com and wfhmap.com, has studied remote work for over two decades. Nick discusses fundamental data issues, sources, and collection as well as understanding macro and firm level productivity. He talks about the demise of RTO (Return To Office) efforts and the stabilization of hybrid models. Nick describes the changing attitudes and demographics of people working from home. He also shares insights about HR's rising strategic importance as talent management increases in complexity.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   [03:02] Born and educated in the UK, Nick starts off consulting and working at HM Treasury.   [03:35] On a speaking engagement in California, Nick is offered a job and returns to live long-term.   [04:42] Nick was interested in management practices early on and, as a child, experienced both parents working from home.   [05:22] One of Nick's students is a travel agent. Their randomized WFH trial generates much interest.   [04:42] Focused on daily commuting, early WFH data only tracked fully remote or fully in the office.   [06:50] Nick begins bridging the gap and finding multiple sources as government data collection lags.   [07:35] Nick finds ways to collect reliable and more frequent data from many businesses.   [09:41] Productivity is easy enough to measure at the macro level, critical for setting interest rates.   [10:31] At the firm level, productivity is very hard to measure for many disciplines and jobs.   [11:34] Initially surprised at the pandemic's duration and effect on WFH, Nick then visualizes the tombstone for Return To Office.   [12:35] Nick explains the inherent bias in Kastle'a data for trending upwards.   [14:01] The perception of working from home is much more positive than a decade ago.   [15:28] People working remotely are now more likely to be higher paid professionals.   [16:25] The leisure boom resulting from reduced commuting—why not play golf then?!   [17:57] With hybrid stabilizing, HR is more important to manage more complex talent dynamics.   [20:55] In-person outperforms virtual teaching for now, but Nick expects this to evolve.   [22:11] How important coordination is to improve in-office experiences and activities.   [23:34] MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) learning is likely to improve dramatically with technology advances (e.g. new headsets).   [25:58] Why CEOs tend to have the most negative opinions about remote working.   [26:49] At all levels, most people find no change to corporate culture caused by working from home.   [27:32] A reasonable cadence of in-person connection to build and maintain culture.   [28:49] Nick was amazed hybrid stabilized so quickly.   [29:33] Top human resources pay has risen steeply recently to support new work- and talent-related developments.   [31:10] How work arrangements are best tailored for the target audience, product/service, and talent.   [32:16] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Your priority should be getting your hybrid model to work. If compliance is low for four days a week in the office, try one or two days and make those a success so people feel it's valuable time spent in the office (not on Zoom).     RESOURCES   Nick Bloom on LinkedIn wfhresearch.com wfhmap.com     QUOTES   “Hybrid's going to get better in the sense of more coordination, better use of space.”   “At the end of 2022, there's a little tombstone somewhere that says “Return To Office, Rest In Peace.” And since then, work from home levels have been stable.”   “I could easily see a norm being two or three days a week in the office and two, three days. The thing for me is that coordination really matters.”   “Mid-managers tend to actually be relatively positive working from home because they have houses and kids.”   “Meeting up once a month for a day or once a week for one or two days, you can really get a big boost to culture building and there are diminishing returns which is why hybrid is so popular. You just don't need to be in all five days.”   “There's been a leisure boost. The typical professional is working from home two and a half days a week. You typically save 70 minutes a day when you work from home. If you add it up, you're looking at two, maybe three hours. And you can easily sneak in a game of golf.”   “I think now we have stabilized in hybrid. I know you occasionally read scary headlines from Elon Musk or Jamie Diamond, but in the data I'm looking at, you just don't see that.”

In this week's episode, co-host Naomi Titleman had a fantastic conversation with Stanford Professor and speaker on work from home, Nick Bloom.Any HR professional who has been wrestling with hybrid over the last 3 years will have come across Nick's research.The cover a range of topics including how hybrid work has evolved over the last few years and how it could evolve in the future.You can learn more about Nick's work here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-bloom-86b79510b/And here:https://wfhresearch.com/Quick reminderDon't forget to sign up for our weekly newsletter foHRsight at www.futurefoHRward.com/foHRsight.Follow us on LinkedIn:Mark - www.linkedin.com/in/markedgarhr/Naomi - www.linkedin.com/in/naomititlemancolla/future foHRward - www.linkedin.com/company/future-fohrward/And on Instagram - www.instagram.com/futurefohrward/foHRsight+ is a private digitally-powered community for forward thinking senior HR leaders committed to making work better.

This week, your host, Dan Neumann, is talking about a prominent topic: are the times of remote working about to end? Today, he is solo hosting this episode to assist you in navigating this new trend and successfully surviving these changes.   In this episode, Dan discusses hybrid work and the trend of returning to in-person work. He shares some strategies to help Teams thrive in this new work scenario. Things are changing rapidly in this evolving landscape, and several companies require their staff to return to the office; listen to this episode and get some valuable ideas on adapting and succeeding in this ever-changing world.   Key Takeaways The pandemic brought the remote working environment as a solution to many problems. For many companies, remote working was not a choice; it was a matter of business survival. Some benefits of remote working are time and money savings, freedom, and flexibility. Also, companies can attract more talent remotely. The ability of companies to innovate was hindered by remote work. Tips to work better in a hybrid environment: The benefits of a hybrid working environment are the flexible location to perform a job and the possibility of choosing which hours someone would decide to work. These aspects imply both synchronous and asynchronous communication. There can be a communication barrier between the in-work and remote workers; more spontaneity occurs in the office. Lacking non-verbal cues of remote communication can affect its effectiveness (video can help, but it is undoubtedly less accurate than in-person communication). Remote work promotes more isolation, less communication outside of the direct work area, and fewer additions of new members to Teams. Being onsite increases the opportunity to connect more to people in general, including those not strictly in our areas of expertise. There is a need to establish explicit Team norms (Make them visible!). When hybrid communication occurs in a Team, you must explicitly make room for the remote worker. What are your Team's agreements regarding responding to messages? Good calendar hygiene is a factor that enables good remote communication. Communicating clearly how a decision will be made can be challenging in a hybrid working environment. Decisions are not made arbitrarily; ensure what will be decided and how. Use mirroring for collaborating with the Team.   Mentioned in this Episode: Business Insider: “The remote work era may be coming to an end — if companies can afford to keep their offices open” “How Remote Work Affects Our Communication and Collaboration”   Want to Learn More or Get in Touch?

The impact they're having is what causes the problem. Sometimes you have to help them see how they are showing up, how the other person is perceiving it. Because when you're in the moment, you don't see it, but a 3rd person watching this interaction between 2 people can see it."[00:57:28] "I think employees are starting to look for slightly different things. Now, even in the technology industry, you talk to our recruiters. They'll tell you simple things like they want just what they just want stability because they've seen so much upheaval up and down. They want to work for a company that is still growing as opposed to a company that's laying people off."
