Hybrid working is the new normal, however Companies are still struggling in finding the right blend!
With more and more workers wanting flexibility from their employers, the reality is that there’s no going back to the nine to five in the way we once knew.
A staggering 82% of employers plan to continue with remote working.
Recent research showed that the majority of employees want their organisation to offer a mix of working styles – enabling them to work both remotely and in the office.
It’s not a new concept, but the pandemic changed its value from a nice-to-have, to a must-have, forcing employers to rethink how their workplace will operate, or risk losing staff in the great resignation.
In the UK, the number of open jobs surpassed one million for the first time ever in August 2021 and we are still managing the effects.

Best practice and Q&A session
Your Trainer: Franco Trapanese (FCIPD)
Franco is a highly experienced leader in the HR profession, with over 20 years’ experience in multiple private sector industries, spanning across HR operations, strategy and fundamentally all areas of the employee life cycle, both in the UK and Globally. He is also a trusted consultant to many public sector clients nationwide.
Franco’s passion is finding operational solutions around rigorous legislations, oh and he loves Business Transformation/Re-structuring and Employee Relations…….. A strange liking you may say. He puts effort into supporting HR directors and managers, to ensure they walk away feeling like they’re left with a variety of solutions to ponder over.
His key achievements have been driving employee engagement; maximising communication pathways, along with improved efficiency analysis such as product/service and process reviews. Last year he was delighted to become accredited as a Life Coach through the Transformation Academy, further developing his interest in nurturing and helping others.
Franco decided in 2022 to expand his expertise by running his own HR Consultancy; NESE HR, helping businesses manage HR in a fast and ever-changing economy, given his work with the following industries: financial services, e-commerce, charity, media, care homes, private education, travel, manufacturing, retail, business consultancy, beauty, fitness, trade, and facilities management to name a few. Since then, he has worked with a public sector client to support on some complex project work.
His main USP is the ability to be commercial and pragmatic, whilst working within the framework of employment law! No such thing as saying NO! Within the values of NESE HR, this word doesn’t exist.
