A team of hybrid and remote work experts who can quickly help you identify the best work arrangements for your business.
As businesses adjust to the 'living with Covid' era, it is already clear that many employees will continue to work flexibly to some degree, and that the majority of us will never return to the traditional Monday-Friday 9am-5pm full time office hours of the past.
Most companies were forced into establishing their original remote working strategies at very short notice as a reaction to COVID-19. However, they have now realised that they need to think more long-term about hybrid work arrangements, where their employees split their time between working at the office and working remotely.
At WorkFLEX, we offer a range of research services, online courses, coaching and training solutions, to help newly-remote/hybrid workers and organisations successfully transition to their new way of working.
Contact us now, for a free and informal discussion about your organisation's specific needs, and the key steps you need to take to establish a successful hybrid work model.
The WorkFLEX team are regularly invited to provide expert opinion, in the national and international media, as voices of authority on the topic of flexible working. WorkFLEX research is also frequently cited, as a leading source of the latest information, for flexible and remote work trends.

WorkFLEX's John Hopkins was the host of a June 2022 webinar, with Deloitte Australia and Swinburne University of Technology, to delve deeper into the findings of the 'Reset, Restore, Reframe - Making Fair Work FlexWork' report.
The aim of the research was to understand the experience, expectations, and motivations of workers whose work is not location dependent, and it is one of the first studies to focus on hybrid work from an industry relations perspective.
The findings from this investigation underline how employers now have a valuable opportunity to engage with their workforce around this fundamental reframe and redesign of work – the where, when, and how it’s done – to improve the employee experience whilst simultaneously supporting the organisation’s overall mission, culture, and values.
An audience of over 200 attendees joined John and his co-authors, Natalie James and Dr Sean Gallagher live for the event, but a FREE recording is now available to watch via the following link:
