Course description
The nature of work is changing as a result of new technologies, new approaches to the design of workplaces and aspirations; both for greater productivity in organizations and improved wellbeing for employees. Smart Working provides a strategic and integrated approach to modernizing working practices in this context, and delivering benefits across the ‘triple bottom line’ – to organizations, individuals and the environment.
The importance of this course is brought into sharp focus by the business continuity requirements of organizations during the COVID-19 crisis, and will help prepare you for future threats and disruptions. This course will take you beyond the reactionary remote working measures implemented by many organizations towards a systematic approach that will support greater resilience, alongside a range of other organizational benefits.
This course will help you understand the key concepts of Smart Working and the importance of taking an integrated approach to the transformational change involved. You’ll learn the terminology involved, the areas within organizations that need to change and the skills needed in the various disciplines involved, and in particular, the real estate, technology and people functions.
