Ever since the pandemic hit, remote work has become the new norm. In this podcast, Maxime Duymelinck (PwC), Thierry Janssen (Xwork) and Sandra De Weerd (PwC) are diving deep into the question of how employers can give their employees more freedom when it comes to where they work – whether it's at the office, at home, or in a nearby collaboration hub.

In order to organise workplace flexibility, Xwork offers a platform allowing companies to offer flexible and inspiring workplaces close to the employees' homes, thereby improving their employee engagement and work-life balance. However not every employee can work from home and what fits one company does not necessarily meet the needs of other organisations.

Organisations are challenged to finding a balance between remote working and staying connected within the teams. Solutions for The Fear Of Missing Out and the Distance Bias, must be found in holistic thinking where the entire ecosystem of the employee’s wellbeing is considered.

Join us in this interesting chat where flexibility and staying connected take the spotlight. And guess what? The office scene is shifting gears. The office is no longer just a place ‘to do the work’. It's all about becoming a hub for collaboration and building a sense of community. Let's dive in, you will meet Simon Solitary, Nathalie Nomad, George Greeter and Cindy Collaborator and explore the exciting future of the workplace!
