Watch out, the post-pandemic office has a new look

Editor’s note

Dear readers,

As the hybrid working conversation evolves, there’s a lot of noise about the purpose the office now plays. For most of us, we’re not returning full-time, but we are returning. So how is the office transforming to support our new needs?

Anne Erni, chief people officer at Audible, has led their ‘Hub + Home’ model which reimagines the office to reflect its new purpose.

Designed to marry the best of both worlds, ‘Home’ is for heads-down work and ‘Hub’ – the office – is a place of collaboration, flexibility and productivity for Audible’s people.

What do you think? Join our exclusive LinkedIn group to discuss this topic, and many others, with our community of senior HR leaders.

All the best,

Amy Kirkham – Senior Content Editor, HRD Connect
