Hybrid working. It sounds like the shiny solution to what the future of work is going to look like. But we wouldn't blame you if you felt part excited, part wondering how it's all going to work.​

The past 18 months or so have been challenging. But hey, we've learnt some valuable lessons about what we really want from work. Next stop: taking those positives to create workplaces, whether they're virtual or physical, that work for all of us. ​

As with any change, it's exciting to build something new. But it's going to take some trial and error to get things right. So where do we go from here in a way that's sustainable, inclusive and, most importantly, kind to ourselves and others?​

Tune in to find out…

  • How many days George used to spend on a train every year
  • What Jackie's current work routine looks like
  • About the impact of what Jolawn calls the 'silent pandemic'
  • Why wellbeing is about much more than just sitting cross-legged
