About this Episode

In this podcast episode of HR in Review, we explore the ways in which remote and hybrid working offer a partial solution to the ongoing skills shortage, as wider and more disparate talent pools become available to recruiters.

With remote and hybrid work having become a more popular mode of working since the pandemic, it is important to understand how this has affected employee wellbeing, recruitment, and productivity. 

However, this brings its own challenges. If organisations are now adopting a hybrid or remote model of work, what do they need to change to accommodate employees who are perhaps working all around the world? How do you stay on top of employee wellbeing? Will this new model of work hinder productivity?
