That said, COVID-19 lockdown restrictions have forced a widescale level of remote working adoption and has shown even more leaders of organisations and their staff how different physical working arrangements could operate in future.
However, many staff do not know how to effectively work remotely so performance levels have fallen or at best been maintained but in a way which isn’t sustainable. We also see concerns about mental and physical wellbeing, and managers not being equipped for leading widescale remote teams. Ultimately, most organisations have significant gaps in their internal culture to support and harness remote working, causing productivity and performance gaps at a time when organisations really need to be ‘on their game’. This goes beyond a basic training need and is about an enhanced and reset culture that adapts ways of working, roles, leadership styles, people practices, engagement, management controls – ultimately adapting the way the organisation does things.
We offer a remote working culture audit/assessment to uncover the real enablers and inhibitors of your current culture and work practices, enabling you to focus on the right cultural shift to enable the remote working model to really work for you. The audit provides practical and actionable insight that can be used to design the culture required to support your future performance goals and strategy execution, whilst harnessing the benefits of an engaged workforce in the remote working (or hybrid) operating model. The insight is gathered through an online survey, supplemented by qualitative insight gathered via online staff focus groups and equally applies at team / departmental level as an organisation-wide exercise.
The remote working culture audit is a specific product is one of the many tools and services from our 3-stage methodology for designing and embedding future-proofed cultures, so comes with the same level of practical impact and results focus as all our award winning culture change programmes.
