Underscore Transformation

In this second episode on the Future of Work and the impact of the pandemic, Jason and Joe are once again joined by special guests Richard Phelps, Steve Hunt, and Marc Weedon, this time to discuss the medium to long-term implications of the recent changes that many businesses have been forced to implement. They explore the potential pitfalls and opportunities organisations will have to face and question whether organisations will simply return to 'business as normal' once they're able, or has the pandemic fundamentally altered the way we view and operate at work?

Show Notes

One of the major challenges for HR and leadership is to question 'How digital are we? Do we need to become more digital? Have we got everyone skilled up?'

Key takeaways: Areas such as the digitalization of work, and ensuring that employees are adequately trained to work in a digital way, along with HR's role in supporting employee wellbeing and mental health have long been ares of focus for progressive HR functions. COVID-19 has forced the pace of change, organisations have to address these issues at speed for the sake of the business and its workforce.
