This virtual event will explore recent research on the impact of hybrid working and discuss how housing associations are adjusting to this ongoing change.
There’s no denying that the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on how many of us work. Overnight, offices closed, home/remote working policies were implemented, and organisations began to roll out agile/flexible working practices. Whilst this new way of working has been incredibly beneficial for many, it’s vital that housing organisations of the future build on this change, learning the lessons from the pandemic and continuing to adapt.
This virtual event, organised by the CIH Yorkshire and Humberside Group, will explore recent research on the impact of hybrid working and discuss how housing associations are adjusting to this ongoing change, developing new organisational cultures in a post-pandemic world.
