June: Resilient Organizational Culture by Embedding Equity

Date: Thursday, June 17, 2021
Time: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM EDT
Hosted by Cristina Herrera 

A resilient organizational culture is what separates companies who persevere through tough economic and social hardship, and those who do not. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in retaining and attract incredible talent. By embedding equity, you can fortify your culture into an inclusive and participatory experience with exponential benefits to the bottom line.

Experience an engaging session on what resilient and equitable culture looks like. Dr. Martin will provide knowledge and tools for participants to play an active role in transforming their organization.

Participants will learn about Workplace Capacity Management – what it is, what governs it’s constraints as well as key measurements and opportunities.  Workplace capacity is concerned with levels of capacity and commitments to the physical/virtual workplace as well as the services and technologies needed to achieve the organization’s strategic purpose in the most economical manner. It requires an understanding of both capacity and constraints/limitations as well as knowledge of relevant consumption data.

In order to survive in an increasingly challenging world, organisations need to constantly change to address new markets, respond to market pressures and adopt new practices, processes and cost structures. In webinar 1, we’ll discuss the world ahead, drivers for change, the challenges that change brings and define the discipline of Change Management.

This capability defines and measures all the components of the workplace management framework to assess how they are contributing to the desired outcomes. This implies a holistic and inter-related set of measurements which ultimately will track progress against the effectiveness and efficiency characteristics of the overall solution. Typically in these situations, the measurement will be aligned with the strategic  “Measures of Success”. Performance Management, however, is concerned with not only high level strategic measures of success but with incremental progress against more tactical pieces of work which, when grouped together, serve the common purpose. This course will provide insight around what can be measured, how it is measured and how the results are used to calibrate, then improve outcomes.

WORKTECH21 Global is the virtual forum for all those involved in the future of work and the workplace as well as real estate, technology and innovation.

The workplace experience is becoming increasingly important to ‘c’ suite leaders in their quest to hire, inspire and maximise the performance of the best talent. In this module we define the modern workplace, set out the new discipline of ‘Workplace Management’ and explore the core concepts and capabilities needed to manage the modern workplace ‘experience’.

Facility management is experiencing an accelerated change in the industry. This is the moment for FM to shine. What does the future look like?

It requires both industry and academia working together to create that future and prepare for it.

During this session, hosted by WE Hub the Netherlands and moderated by Evelien Wanders-Plijter, we will discuss the future of FM.

As the severity of the pandemic seems to be lessening, there is already a sense of things returning to something closer to the way they were in 2019. The fact is however that we have learned much during the pandemic, one of the things being that these kind of virtual presentation sessions should be kept alive. We have enjoyed both participants and speakers from a range of locations who would otherwise have been unable to attend face-to-face sessions. It is quite likely that next year this group will supplement this offering by hosting some face-to-face sessions in various quarters of the British Isles but, for the foreseeable future, we plan to continue as is: no travel time or travel cost, the offering is delivered straight to your desk (or sofa), you have a chance to share your thoughts, and the price is right!

In June we will be welcoming the irrepressible Dr Craig Knight who will delight you with his knowledge and incite.

May WEbinar: What you need to know before you invest in FM software solutions

I början av året samlades WE Hub Sverige-ledningen för att planera för vårens WE-program. Vi kom snabbt fram till att det vi själva saknar är att mötas, nätverka och samtala lite djupare om olika aktuella frågor och ämnen, och tror att det är något som andra i WE-nätverket saknar med. Därför beslutade vi att vårens WE-program kommer att vara 3 tillfällen där vi just möts och samtalar mer informellt kring aktuella frågor och ämnen. I både större och mindre grupper. Vi hoppas verkligen du vill hänga med!
