New Ways Of Working: Project & Process Management‍

‍“Leaders face an atmosphere of ambiguity while managing in a hybrid environment. They have limited visibility into workloads and processes.” - McKinsey. 

Since COVID-19, hybrid and remote working have become the new normal, increasing employee satisfaction and work-life balance. For many employees, this has been hugely beneficial; according to HR Grapevine, almost three-quarters (71%) of UK workers say having a good work-life balance is the main reason for job satisfaction and tops the list of priorities. On the other hand, HBR reports managers believe that work-from-home reduces productivity. At the same time, employees think it massively increases it, which may leave you asking:

• How can you track projects and process management when accounting for staff working in multiple locations?
• How can you effectively identify opportunities to collaborate and innovate within your business?
• How can employees be aligned and work towards the same business goal when working remotely?
