Series 2: The how to getting employee experience right.

Dave Harms, partner at Valentine Thomas & Partners, specialising in senior searches for investment management firms across the globe, has an informed perspective on remote working, as it is a conversation he is engaging in with most clients.

We discuss remote working, the current context, and the how to think about a challenge that has no one answer! It's a topic that Dave and I get involved in frequently, exploring what it can look like for companies and how to go about getting it right for both the employer and the workforce. 

Remote working is a broad topic; some of the points we cover include:

• The Pros and Cons of remote working
• Examples in the news about different (and controversial) approaches to remote working
• Does reducing pay make sense from a deliverables perspective?
• The development of different roles to meet current needs in the workforce
• The impact of remote work on different groups gender pay gap
• The benefit of remote working for diversity and inclusion
• The challenge for company culture
• Impact on company reputation, recruitment and retention
• Finding the right fit between potential employees and company culture 
• The courage to ask employees what they want and need
• Best practice for remote working
