Performance Driven Hybrid Environment vs. a Policy Driven Hybrid Environment – Designing the Future of Work using lessons from social science

---

Learning Objectives

After completing this course participants will be able to:

1. Articulate the key differences between the policy driven approach to workforce management, and a performance driven approach.
2. Self assess which path their organization is currently trending (policy vs. performance).
3. Self assess the implications of their organization’s current approach to the future of work. Is what they’re doing right now a status-quo approach, or a contemporary approach to:
– Attracting Talent
– Retaining Talent
– Empowering employees to be productive (combatting quiet quitting).
– Reducing the great costs associated with voluntary turnover
4. Self Assess whether or not the current challenges their organization faces would be measurably ameliorated through the adoption of a performance driven work environment (all office, hybrid, or remote).

Major Topics

• “Flexibility” in the workplace – policy-driven hybrid model, the 4-day workweek, no meeting Wednesdays, etcetera – does not give people what they truly need to meet all the demands on their time in there lives (work included). Learn about what employees at all levels really need to be successful.
• Robert Karasek’s job strain model shows us where the greatest risk to physical and mental health exists in the workplace. When designing work environments, the world of work is not effectively utilizing this groundbreaking research.
• The “myth of the average” drives us to create an equal, rather than an equitable experience in the workplace. Creating an equal experience for all employees through policies and rules creates and environment that serves exactly no one.
• To effectively engage employees to be maximally engaged, we need to action the research of Daniel Pink from his book Drive – “Control leads to compliance. Autonomy leads to engagement.” Is your workplace fueled by control (policies + rules) or autonomy (equity).
• A performance driven environment (all office, hybrid, or remote) takes into account the social science of engagement, creating equity, stress in the workplace, and the results of an NIH + University of Minnesota 6 year longitudinal study that showed incredible results.
