More about the Re-skilling HR for the Virtual Employee Course
This state-of-the-art course is the first of its kind and one that promises to bring vital new skills to every organisation represented.
You might say Covid-19 changed nothing but accelerated everything.
Employers had the technology many years ago to allow employees to work from home. But the pandemic forced employers to trust employees and in doing so many organisations now realise that work doesn’t have to be done in a place monitored or governed by the employer.
This new realisation has spawned huge numbers of remote workers and so-called hybrid workers – those who work both remotely and in the office on different days of the week.
The prevalence of this new type of worker is forcing the HR function to completely re-think how it performs many of its key functions.
Often interviews are now done online (at least preliminary stages) whilst onboarding for those unlikely to spend much or any time in the office needs to be completely redesigned.
Employers know that to get the most from remote workers it is output that needs measured and not employee activity through a webcam or tracking software in a laptop.
But this means that performance processes have to be changed and that ancillary practices such as disciplinary investigations need to be revised.
The pandemic has caused everyone to battle with mental health issues but now employers are beginning to look to HR for answers in terms of how best to look after the wellbeing of not only conventional employees but remote and hybrid workers.
Our expert trainer, Michelle Halloran, has spent many years working with HR departments in leading companies and public sector bodies helping them upskill and to adopt the very latest practices and procedures.
