Optimising Network Diversity during Remote/Hybrid Working

In this session, recorded live at People Analytics World 2021, Michael Moon hosts a discussion between four different leaders in People Analytics who bring a mix of knowledge of business partnering, consulting, data science and executive leadership.

When people are working remotely, their normal networks are disrupted. When you don’t connect face-to-face with the people next to you, who do you connect with? What is the impact on your learning and collaboration, and how does it affect organisational factors like performance and innovation? And what can be done to facilitate more diverse networks when geography is losing its significance?
