Would you like to hear from a panel of HR leaders and learn more about their responses to the challenges in higher education workforce management?
It’s nearly one year on since the global coronavirus pandemic was first announced and the UK’s national lockdown began. Almost overnight, the people profession was launched into the spotlight and tasked with supporting the workforce to make an immediate transition from in-person working to a predominantly home-based model.
From here, new challenges continued to present themselves, from implementing the furlough scheme and refreshing internal policies for flexible working, through to supporting staff wellbeing during a pandemic and a recession, engaging and training a remote workforce, tackling institutional race inequality, implementing revised workforce legislation for Brexit, and many more.
Throughout the last year, HR professionals have developed and implemented solutions to considerable challenges, which have offered clarity, flexibility and mobility for the workforce, against a backdrop of uncertainty.
Under the guise of a global pandemic, the future of work had quietly arrived.
