The Changing Face of Work and Study
How are you?
That’s an interesting question right now for many of us in service-focused industries and roles, and especially within the University sector. We are seeing the universal problems of constant demands, fragmented attention and pressures on wellbeing creating even more staff churn and consequently more workload for time-poor teams.
Information overload, endless meetings, emails and interruptions are prevalent. All set against a backdrop of a rapidly changing digital world.
The key to ensuring we can all do better than just cope in this new environment lies in finding the right skills and tools to support us. When we equip our people to reimagine and navigate this changing work landscape, we can reduce long-term overwhelm, burn-out, and disengagement. If your team doesn’t feel valued or inspired to grow, many will vote with their feet, putting even more pressure on the remaining team.
If you can make space for learning, you will bring back the creativity, the innovation, and the opportunity and the motivation to shine. It shows your people that you see a bright future together. By investing in the human skills needed to thrive and lead in any scenario, you will develop an indisputable competitive edge and consistent engagement.
Inspire your people to transform work for the better
In the age of hybrid working and information overload, traditional time management techniques don’t cut it anymore. Many people are feeling like they’ll never be on top of their workload, as the work keeps coming. Inboxes and other collaboration tools, whilst designed to help us with our work, often add to the distractions and can be even more stressful when schedules are full of meetings.
