From home or in the office? Let the strategy decide
About the importance of organizational design for the way we work – and why strategy should determine where and how we work
The debate about working from home and office attendance is still loud – and often characterized by strong opinions, trends on LinkedIn, and black-and-white claims about what everyone in one group wants.
Is work best done from home or from the office? Who supports show up – if anyone at all?
At the same time, we are seeing several large organizations making significant shifts in the flexibility of their employees. The probationary period after the pandemic is over, and the time has come to make a final decision on the way they work.
Work from home or in the office?
If hybrid work is to work in practice, decisions must not be made on gut feelings, moods or generalizations about generations. They must be made in the organizational design.
The is the focal point of Tune Hein's new book From home or at the office? where he argues that organizations should design their own model for flexibility and attendance – based on strategy, structure, processes and leadership role.
Many organizations have never formally defined their organizational design, but have let it evolve sporadically over time. This often results in disjointed decisions and unclear expectations – in both directions.
Therefore you must participate
In this webinar, Tune Hein goes into depth with the book's most important points and focuses on how a clear organizational design can create coherence between strategy, working methods and employer brand - and thus make it possible to attract precisely the segment of employees who thrive in your model.
Tune also shares concrete cases from practice that show how organizations make very different – but strategically sound – choices about hybrid work. He also focuses on the management dilemmas that come with it: onboarding, culture, interaction, cross-functional collaboration, and the balance between individual desires and organizational needs.
You will learn about:
- Why strategy and organizational design should be the starting point for the degree of home working and office attendance
- How organizational design, office function and flexibility should be thought of as one coherent model
- The management dilemmas in hybrid work – including the balance between employee desires, organizational needs and private life
- Practical cases that illustrate how different organizations design their solution in line with both strategy and culture
- HR's role as a driving force in facilitating the holistic model and qualifying the discussions in the organization
Who should participate?
