This presentation will help you adopt research based best practices to seize competitive advantage in collaboration and innovation by adopting a hybrid first model, enabling you to thrive in our increasingly-disrupted future of work.

Employees want hybrid work, and for good reason. For workplace teams, that means there’s increased pressure to make the workplace a destination. But what actually drives employees to return to the workplace? Join Jonathan to hear the results of a recent 2022 workplace trends report which analysed more than 20 million workplace sign-ins around the globe and surveyed 400+ workplace leaders. To address the need for leaders to understand how the workplace is evolving, Jonathan will discuss the emerging workplace trends over the past two years and what to expect this year and beyond.

For some organizations, their reasoning for employees to return to the office is rooted in logic—certain job functions must take place in person, spontaneous collaboration and ingenuity can occur, and social interactions build positive culture. But, many organizations are unaware that the human brain makes 95% of its decisions based on the subconscious. In this presentation, Dr. Dustin Jackson will use research and findings from psychology and neuroscience to analyze the office’s impact on feelings of connectedness within the workplace.

Developing your capability and confidence as a leader is essential for developing talent and for building and supporting collaborative, high-performing teams. It requires awareness and appreciation of your unique strengths as well as understanding those you lead. These insights empower you to make decisions and communicate more effectively.
