In this first ever Oak Engage Podcast episode hosts Vic McEwan & Scott Ritchie are discussing the current issues of the return to the office and how we can adapt to a new normal.  Pre-pandemic, our working week has traditionally been a 9-5, Monday to Friday. COVID19 has transformed the way that we work and as a result, created a shift in how we view our working world and what we are capable of.  In this episode Vic & Scott discuss the origins of the 40 hour work week and why we're starting to stray away from this. They discuss the current state of the workplace and how different business across different sectors are approaching the impending return to the office and what the new normal potentially looks like for business.  Our hosts also compare how employees' views differ working from home and the pros and cons of working remotely from its impacts on productivity, mental health and keeping your company culture alive, with a focus on how you create a successful hybrid working environment using an Intranet.  If you want to get in touch to share your views and opinions please email [email protected] or [email protected]
