What on earth happened to us in 2020 and where does it leave us now?
Many polls report that people have discovered real merits of working from home. The past year has seen an increase in digital nomads and working from home. Even before the pandemic, more people were seeking home-based roles for at least some of the week.
So, what are workers and employers planning to do in 2021 and beyond? We co-hosted an “Air your Views” session with the Cambridge Network which was attended by 41 participants from a range of local employers and workers in Cambridge. Discussions were varied and fruitful and surfaced five current themes where there are differing perspectives on ‘what next’ between workers and employers:
Talent Glue: As a business psychologist, Kelly Drewery focuses on helping people and organisations be more effective. The 'glue' is about the stickiness between people and employers - the energy, performance and reputation that we have that attracts each other.
Recrion: Recrion's founder Katherine Wiid provides people managers with skills, self-awareness and a sounding board to become confident recruiters and motivators of teams. Katherine’s extensive recruitment and behavioural experience ensures that her clients are in sync with how people’s minds work. She describes herself as a catalyst to support both candidates and companies to find the best in each other so that both parties excel.
Cambridge Network is a membership organisation based in the vibrant high technology cluster of Cambridge, UK. We bring people together - from business and academia - to meet each other and share ideas, encouraging collaboration and partnership for shared success.
