-

About this Edition

In this episode, we discuss the importance of creating diverse teams and attracting the right talent. Our panel of experts, including Neil Debenham, Inge Woudstra, and Bradley Burgoyne, all agree that diversity is key for businesses to thrive. We also touch on neurodiversity and the benefits of having neurodivergent individuals in the workforce.

Questions Include:

  • How have our ways of working changed because of the pandemic?
  • What is a ‘hybrid culture’?
  • What are the advantages/disadvantages of remote and hybrid work?
  • How does recruiting look in this new landscape of remote and hybrid work? There is now a vast and more disparate talent pool.
  • What are the challenges of this new way of recruiting?
  • The cost-of-living crisis/financial wellbeing: Can employees afford to return to the office 5 days a week?
  • Should employees’ salaries be impacted if they are now mainly working remotely?
  • What is the future of remote/hybrid work?
