It’s not as though culture change was easy before the pandemic.

Using training as a lever to move complex human systems into new patterns of behavior was more or less a ninja-level skill even before the whole world went on lockdown.

Then everything changed, again and again (and again!). We went virtual in a sort of all-or-nothing, emergency shutdown way… and then we came back in a sort of catch-as-catch-can, hybridized, random sort of way.

Now we’re trying to get our footing, adding new ways of working to old ways of working in hopes of getting ahead of – or at least, catching up with – a rate of change that seems to be ever-accelerating.

But what about culture?  What of those ever-present patterns of behavior that exert constant influence on how we work, even as they invisibly limit or enhance what we can accomplish?  What can training do about that?

In this interactive webinar, award-winning author, CEO, and repeat Training Magazine presenter Ed Muzio (LinkedIn profile) teams up with Iterative Management Executive Reggie Wilson (LinkedIn profile) to show you how a firm specializing in wholesale culture change adapted training through the pandemic, and what stuck.

Explore…

• How systematic, disciplined application of simple behavioral principles becomes culture
• How anyone, at any level, can create real impact on the broader environment – effecting permanent change gradually and systematically
• How to seed productive, positive culture yourself, simply by enabling your colleagues and associates to create more output and experience less stress in their own work
• What approaches the speaker’s firm added, and what they kept, as they went from live to virtual to blended, always with the same goal of changing culture through changing behavior

For years, most organizations viewed a physical office as the best place to work. However, the COVID-19 pandemic forced businesses to reimagine how their employees worked, resulting in an increase in remote work and untraditional hours.

Many employees now realize benefits from this newfound flexibility and most report that they prefer a mix of home and office work.

Executives are seeing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reset work using a hybrid model—one that, if implemented correctly, will allow employees to make their work lives more purposeful, productive, agile, and flexible.

Lynda Gratton, (LinkedIn profile) a professor at London Business School, will lead a live HBR webinar highlighting critical elements for an effective hybrid model.

She will discuss:

• Considerations of “place” and “time” in designing an effective hybrid work model
• How a hybrid work model affects different jobs and roles in unique ways
• Why you should engage employees to understand what they really want and need
• The challenges and benefits of reorganizing projects and workflows
• How you can build a culture of fairness and inclusion in a hybrid work setting

To learn what steps your organization can take to successfully execute a hybrid work model.

Lynda is author of numerous HR books, including:

• • Living Strategy: Putting People at the Heart of Corporate Purpose
  • The Key: How Corporations Succeed by Solving the World’s Toughest Problems
  • The Shift: The Future of Work is Already Here
  • Hot Spots: Why Some Teams, Workplaces, and Organizations Buzz with Energy – And Others Don’t
