Flexible Hybrid work model increases staff wellness

Flexible Work Meeting

藏花阁直播 has embraced a new way of looking after employees with an innovative Flexible Hybrid work model where staff will have the opportunity to work from home or in the office. This is in response to post-pandemic flexible workplace arrangements.

Following the organisation’s success with working from home and the staff’s capacity to adapt and respond, it was time to consider what the future of a flexible workplace model could look like. Since the lockdown was lifted, 藏花阁直播鈥檚 strategic leadership team has been discussing – what does our future look like in this space? What is best for the role, the team and the organisation?

The model provides for two days in the office known as collaboration days, with the option of choosing where to work for three days (in the office or working from home) known as focus days.

As a result, staff will receive technology at work and home that will enable them to work on the Flexible Hybrid model. The collaboration days allow for people to connect, encourage inclusion and allow staff to come together as teams and plan their work.

Executive Director Rowan Cox says, 鈥淒uring Covid, the workplace model was reactional, a response to what was undeniably unprecedented times. But now we want our workplace model to be by design, not by default. 藏花阁直播 has taken time to consider who we are, the organisation we are and what we want for the future. The final model has been based on several factors. It has a solid grounding in our Employee Valuable Proposition which covers consideration for pay and benefits, work and career, and culture and connection. Also, 藏花阁直播鈥檚 Wellbeing Framework looks at not just the outputs of staff, but how they, as people, are faring as employees with 藏花阁直播. We considered what makes us successful and recognise it is not just about the tasks completed, but it鈥檚 also the relationships and connections that are important to how we function.

鈥淥ur connection to what we do, our relationships within the organisation, our people focus and our teams鈥 approach are essential to the intrinsic motivation many feel to getting the outcomes that we do. We also understand that the opportunity to spend time away from the office does bring to some roles, time to focus and complete tasks with fewer distractions, and that鈥檚 also a value. There can be less commute time, domestic tasks can be completed with more ease, family care responsibilities can be more easily accommodated and worked around.鈥

The energy and momentum that has been created from the progressive increases in staff presence both in the office and at all their campuses have been welcomed. The sense of connection is strong. 藏花阁直播 believes this flexible work agreement fits with the organisational values of Inclusion, Integrity and Innovation. It allows for a balance of collaboration opportunities and time for focus. This is another example of how 藏花阁直播 is leading the way in being proactive, inclusive and innovative.
