Fostering a positive culture in the age of hybrid work
Manage episode 411413116 series 3548524
During the COVID-19 pandemic, millions more people than ever before began working almost exclusively from home. Now, in the pandemic's aftermath, many employees continue to work remotely several days a week while employers struggle to find ways to entice them back into the office.
This emerging hybrid work model is challenging managers to set realistic policies and invest in technology that ensures remote work is engaging, productive and secure. It also introduces new issues in employee onboarding and training, especially for young workers who never had the experience of working in a corporate office.
In this podcast, Steve Lovig, senior HR consultant at Flex HR, an HR outsourcing provider, shares his advice for making hybrid work a positive experience for both employees and employers.
Based in the Atlanta area, Lovig, nicknamed, "Captain HR," has more than 25 years of experience in human capital management. He started his career as an HR specialist at GE Capital, when he had a side gig as a disc jockey, and soon began a series of jobs in senior HR leadership and consulting. He started the HR function at Kaplan, the educational services company, and later was HR director at Homestar Financial Corp. until July 2023, when he joined Flex HR. He continues to maintain his own consultancy.
Other topics discussed in the podcast include:
- how to transmit the corporate culture when so many employees work remotely
- ways to help people feel valued, engaged and motivated
- the optimal mix of remote and on-site work
- what organizations should do to ensure responsible use of AI
