During lock-down businesses were forced to make remote working available for all employees very quickly. Jola helped partners supply mobile data solutions to suit every requirement. Since then, we have seen a rise in the use of cloud-based, collaborative software, such as Microsoft Teams for seamless hybrid working. A focus on communication and collaboration is required to support this.
Hybrid working has many benefits. For employees, they don’t need to battle the traffic every day and can manage their workload effectively.
Many of our employees work in the office a couple of days a week to facilitate wellbeing, social lunches and informal meetings. This encourages cross-departmental team building and problem solving. We are conscious of employee burn out and encourage regular coffee breaks and lunchtime walks wherever they work.
Being in the same room for key meetings is also useful to ensure every participant is fully engaged and not distracted by someone at the door or urgent emails coming in.
New starters can feel a little isolated. It is useful when starting a new job to be in the office to build relationships with key departments to know who to go to with any issues and who can support them in their role. Corporate culture is hard to learn remotely when you are not living and breathing it in the same office as your colleagues.
At Jola, we work with with our partners to build differentiated propositions to facilitate hybrid working. We help partners to create a compelling proposition, highlighting how it uniquely solves the problem and the current and future benefits.
