Mike and Ryan discuss the question so many of us are asking "What is the ideal working model going forward in Level 1?"  For many businesses and their people what was once the norm is now a choice; to work from home, to return to the office or something in between. 

It can be challenging to sift out the pull of the familiar versus the opportunity to reimagine and reengineer a new way of working, along with what will be practical in the longer term. There's tension between a number of different factors: 

• Where do we add the most value - personal, team and organisational?

• What is the most convenient for me and is that aligned with the best outcomes for the business?

• What types of work needs to get done?

In this podcast, Mike and Ryan share many stories of how people working from home during lockdown experienced different gains, losses and challenges, and the learnings we can take from their situations. And as the requirements have eased, companies have been adopting a variety of new models of working, some of which may not last long term.  

The important thing to realise is that there isn't a one size fits all solution, not only for the organisation but for individuals. We need to be continually adjusting and asking questions like "is this still working for us?" and "what do we need to change?" 

Listen to this week's podcast for tips on how to be more deliberate and aware in trialling different models for working for your organisation and your people.
