Simon Upstone from the University of Sussex talks to Allegra Chapman about leading a team through an apocalypse, including making the (rather speedy) shift to remote working, how the culture of an organisation impacts its working practices, the importance of understanding and responding to a variety of individual needs, and the importance of caring for the mental health of your staff. Simon also shares insights on measuring staff responses to new approaches to working (and discovering that 80% of university staff want a hybrid way of working), and advice on building cohesive teams and fostering genuine teamwork.

Plus Zoe Thompson has this month's What Fresh Hell Is This? report.
