Wherever you find yourself working, be it back at the office, hybrid or remote, how are you doing at creating your own great place to work?
When people talk about a ‘new normal workplace’, there are as many options as there are workers. Finding a set-up that’s right for you is about much more than decent broadband and an ergonomic chair at home. We all have a slightly different relationship with ‘work’ and the ‘workplace’ compared with 18 months ago.
We are delighted to announce that our guest speakers for this session will be Lizzie Bradbury, Marketing Manager at COEL, a design and fit-out company which specialises in creating exceptional working environments and Kelly Drewery, Business Psychologist and founder of Cambridge-based consultancy, Talent Glue.
Lizzie and Kelly have conducted research with around 300 employers and more than 1,000 workers over the last few months to understand more about where we all hope to head next. They will share some key insights from their research to help prompt an interactive debate around the longer-term impact of our more mobile working patterns. Attendees will be able to take away some ideas about the deeper issues around creating your own great place to work, wherever you are.
ImpactWN co-founder Shima Barakat who will host the event says, “The pandemic has affected so many areas of our lives, including the way we work. As employees are starting to think about returning to the workplace it will be interesting to hear what people have missed and what they would like to see on their return.”
Impact Women’s Network is a network of female professionals, academics and entrepreneurial women from all sectors, who want to do things differently and have a significant impact on their industry, business, society and the environment. Sharing experience and expertise, we are united in raising the public visibility of impactful women and instigating even greater change together.
The group meet the first Wednesday of every month, 9.30-10.30am, at various locations in Cambridge (when we can) or via Zoom and Twitter. These morning meetings are grounded in women sharing their expertise as well as their experience through Impact Talks, group activities and discussions. If the past year has taught us anything, it is how to use and find new levels of agility. For 2021, the monthly sessions are focused on redefining this new-found agility as ‘inter-resilience’ – both in who we are and what we do, as well as across technology and systems. Each month, we will look in detail at leadership, business models and technology through a range of impactful speakers and thoughtful debate.
These sessions are aimed at challenging our own understanding and approaches to some big societal issues. Everyone then creates their own impact at a personal, professional and collective level.
