How Microsoft and Korn Ferry are unlocking hybrid work success

In this podcast Shipra Singh – Head of HR Switzerland and Austria at Microsoft, and Michael McKiernan – Senior Client Partner in Organisation Strategy and Transformation at Korn Ferry, join Chris Rainey of HR Leaders, to discuss how they are unlocking hybrid work success.

They discuss how to overcome the challenges that hybrid working can create for organizations and employees. Research shows that people expect more from their workplaces now, and accommodating those needs requires business leaders to find solutions to provide an inclusive, holistic experience for employees.

They talk about how the development of talent relies on utilizing the technology available to support hybrid working, by creating a culture of trust and flexibility to enable employees to thrive. Leveraging real time data insights means people have a more cohesive employee experience, so that they can achieve shared goals and feel empowered to do their best work.
