ACCA / CA ANZ Joint Event - Hybrid Working – The Impact on Inclusion
We brought together the CEOs and Presidents of Strategic Alliance partners ACCA and CA ANZ for a discussion on the Hybrid Working model and its opportunities and impacts on the individual and the organisation.
The hybrid model of working does have a number of advantages relating to flexibility and individual productivity. Individuals taking advantage of hybrid working enjoy, amongst other things, a shortened daily commute and the ability to multi-task personal and work activities. Employees taking advantage of the hybrid working model can also miss out on a good amount of face-to-face support and opportunities for 'water cooler' or incidental chat with the move to a much larger proportion of virtual meetings. The hybrid working space can foster an inclusive environment, but employers must take steps to ensure workers have access to all communication and development opportunities, whether working virtually or face to face
Recent studies have shown that the hybrid workspace has the potential to exacerbate existing unconscious bias in the workplace, with women less likely to receive appropriate recognition, contribution and reward than their male peers. Join us as we bring together the CEOs and Presidents of ACCA and CA ANZ for a discussion on the Hybrid Working model and its short- and long-term opportunities and impacts on the individual and the organisation.
