The move to level 4 lockdown with 48 hours notice required agile decision making and accelerated our shift to future-flexible ways of working.
What's it all about?
The process of supporting staff to work from home for eight weeks meant a reassessment of
what work is and how to manage the wellbeing of a dispersed workforce. Join Rosanne Ellis,
head of AUT’s Research and Innovation Office and a panel of experts as they discuss what the
rapid pivot to wholesale work from home meant, and what organisations can draw from it for
the future on topics including:
• The role of technology - an enabler + disruptor -
tools to support mental health and wellbeing, phenomena experienced during lockdown such as
zoom fatigue
• Flexible workplaces and unintended consequences - cyber security, mental
health (strain on work-life balance, anxiety, isolation)
• Digital disruption - impact on
productivity, equity, staff engagement/retention, speed of adoption Qus: how will this
change how we work in the future? Will we be more productive, happier, resilient?
•
Health & Safety culture and individual mind-shifts i.e. “Just Culture” practice etc
Legal obligations of employer when staff WFH (Worksafe, ACC, OSH).
