Suddenly hybrid : managing the modern meeting / by Reed, Karin M.,Author(DLC)no2021020009; Allen, Joseph A.,1981-Author(DLC)n 2014075273;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Prior to COVID 19, hybrid meetings were relatively rare and consisted of the majority of attendees being in person with perhaps someone "dialing in" (and often forgot about). The hybrid meeting that will likely monopolize the way meetings are conducted from here on out will likely involve a group of people gathered in one conference room, maybe another group of people gathered in a huddle room somewhere else, and a variety of folks showing up in their own individual boxes on screen via their personal webcams. Managing the expectations, participation, and conversation flow for all of these different constituencies will be fraught with challenges but perhaps some opportunities as well for the leader who leans into developing new skills. This book provides some much-needed early insight and guidance into what works and what does NOT when it comes to hybrid meetings. Practical, actionable, and implementable steps organizations can take as they adjust and adopt the hybrid model will be provided. These actionable steps will be supported by current research as well as firsthand stories of those who have begun transitioning to this new way of moving business forward. The primary objectives of this book are: *To be a science-based but practical guide on managing the hybrid meeting, what will be the "new normal" for the foreseeable future *To highlight new research insights gathered from those who are early in the transition *To provide actionable best practices based upon the new research, informed by data from the early days of the pandemic, and supported by groups and teams science *To illustrate the challenges and opportunities through real-world examples that can allow readers to "walk in the shoes" of those who are making the transition to a hybrid meeting world."--.

The future of the office : work from home, remote work, and the hard choices we all face / by Cappelli, Peter,Author(DLC)n 88629351 ;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 73-81) and index.The COVID-19 pandemic forced an unprecedented experiment that reshaped white-collar work and turned remote work into a kind of "new normal." Now comes the hard part. Many employees want to continue that normal and keep working remotely, and most at least want the ability to work occasionally from home. But for employers, the benefits of employees working from home or hybrid approaches are not so obvious. What should both groups do? In a prescient new book, The Future of the Office: Work from Home, Remote Work, and the Hard Choices We All Face, Wharton professor Peter Cappelli lays out the facts in an effort to provide both employees and employers with a vision of their futures. Cappelli unveils the surprising tradeoffs both may have to accept to get what they want. Cappelli illustrates the challenges we face in drawing lessons from the pandemic and deciding what to do moving forward. Do we allow some workers to be permanently remote? Do we let others choose when to work from home? Do we get rid of their offices? What else has to change, depending on the approach we choose? His research reveals there is no consensus among business leaders. Even the most high-profile and forward-thinking companies are taking divergent approaches: Facebook, Twitter, and other tech companies say many employees can work remotely on a permanent basis. Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and others say it is important for everyone to come back to the office. Ford is redoing its office space so that most employees can work from home at least part of the time, and GM is planning to let local managers work out arrangements on an ad-hoc basis. As Cappelli examines, earlier research on other types of remote work, including telecommuting offers some guidance as to what to expect when some people will be in the office and others work at home, and also what happened when employers tried to take back offices. Neither worked as expected. In a call to action for both employers and employees, Cappelli explores how we should think about the choices going forward as well as who wins and who loses. As he implores, we have to choose soon.

Humans are not robots : why we all need work flexibility and what company leaders can do about it / by Hawkins, Robert(Freelance writer),author.(CARDINAL)519881(CARDINAL)851454;
Includes bibliographic references and index.For humans and the world -- Definitely not robots -- How to flex -- Work revolution -- Appendices."In this entertaining, thought-provoking, and comprehensive guidebook on work flexibility, Robert Hawkins builds on new and old management theories, case studies, interviews, and his own personal journey from rigidity to flexibility to show leaders how to free hundreds, thousands, millions of people from a way of working that doesn't meet expectations for modern life. Humans Are Not Robots provides theory and evidence to show the urgent need for flexibility for all and then offers practical guidance on rolling out sustainable and successful (and profitable) flexibility campaigns. Hawkins explores various types of flexibility, including remote work, flexitime, compressed workweeks, and job sharing, as well as those not commonly discussed (reduced hours with full pay, return-to-work internships, flexibility in manufacturing, healthcare, construction). He delves into the science of human needs theory to demonstrate how the traditional nine-to-five workplace creates unsustainable lives and shows that, with even small changes, leaders in any industry can use flexibility to: Make work a vital and fun part of life again, Boost productivity, engagement, and innovation, Reduce gender inequality and domestic violence, Delay retirement of workers and mitigate the issues of an ageing population, Fight obesity and reduce the burden of poor health on individuals and health systems, Ensure that people maintain needed skills and relevance in the face of increased automation and uncertainty, Impact climate change, and do all of this while increasing profits. Part philosophical and scientific journey, part how-to guide, Humans are Not Robots provides readers a deep-dive into the world of work flexibility to learn how to fully unlock its power. Essential reading for leaders of any organization, the book presents a stark and beautiful vision of what people's lives could be, and the idea that this can be achieved right now." --

With a sometimes fatal highly contagious respiratory disease spreading from one human being to another, the pandemic led to massive changes in the way people went to school, shopped for food and conducted their work lives. Before the pandemic struck, remote work accounted for only a small percentage of US workdays, just 5 percent, according to WFH Research, the research division of a company that links job seekers to remote job opportunities. But by 2022 the number of work-from-home days had climbed to 30 percent"--Ages 14-18
