#6 How to… Retain informal camaraderie and innovation in hybrid work?

About the session

We humans really do need to belong. It’s how we’re wired to solve problems and create new ideas.

Losing our informal contact has hit us hard. Reduction in innovation is already one of the big impacts on business.

We look at the impact of camaraderie on creativity and innovation. We share different approaches to encouraging informal exchange, how to introduce some element through your working week and month.

We look at instituting pockets of good practice from around your business, formalising the informal.

A chance for you to explore ideas, find what is most feasible for your teams and systems.

Who’s this for?

  • Best for functional leads and middle managers, ideal as a cross-functional group of up to 12

  • Also next steps to take with other managers in your organisation
