Event Details

Three years on from the start of the coronavirus pandemic, how – and where – the public sector works has been changed massively. Many public servants had to switch to working remotely nearly instantly in 2020 as countries introduced lockdowns to tackle the spread of COVID-19, and many governments then developed hybrid working arrangements – where officials work in the office and remotely throughout the week – as staff embraced the benefits of working from home.

However, many governments are still grappling with what the hybrid world means for public service delivery. While the views of staff that they want to retain the option of working remotely, senior public servants have said that they are still lacking the data on business efficiency and output from flexible working.

This webinar will look at how three years of flexible working has affected – for better or worse – the productivity of public services, and will look at how leaders, managers and staff can come together to understand what works.

Join this session to find out:

  • How governments have changed how they work compared to 2020.

  • The evidence on what works – and doesn’t work – in remote and flexible working.

  • How to balance the needs of employees and employers in remote working.

Global Government Forum exists to help leaders across national public sector organisations to learn from the work of their peers overseas, and to build links with fellow civil servants in other countries. We help people identify the tools and innovations to overcome the challenges they face, and provide an environment where they can exchange ideas about what works – and what doesn’t. Our webinars bring together public servants to dive into policy areas and share ideas on how governments can tackle some of the biggest challenges of the 21st century.
