How to succeed as a remote or hybrid worker

In an increasingly virtual world, shifting to more remote ways of working has been vital. Remote and hybrid working can have many benefits- but it can also come with challenges too! When working virtually it can be hard to draw the line between work and home life or fall into bad working habits. The stresses of work can impinge on everyday wellbeing, and lead to feelings of burnt-out. By putting in steps to mitigate this, both productivity and the wellbeing of the team is boosted while. So, what are the skills needed to not only survive, but thrive, in a hybrid or remote working environment?

The workshop will begin by discussing the benefits and challenges of remote or hybrid working, alongside exploring the difference between equality and equity, and how it may be difficult to establish these in a remote or hybrid team. 

The conversation then focuses on the different ways of working, identifying the importance of these in maintaining motivation and productivity within a hybrid or remote setting. Through exploring the concept of working disciplines, and how they are key to the success of mastering remote working, team members are equipped with the tools to better draw the line between work and home life. Building on this, participants discuss workflow and receive some useful tips on how to manage it, giving them the skills to ensure they remain productive while working remotely. Finally, they will discuss the importance of a good work life balance, coming away with practical actions they could put in place to better establish a healthy boundary between both.
