Listen Later

Amid the excitement of getting back to a semblance of business as usual, you’re probably asking yourself a lot of questions—as in, what is the new normal and where do I go from here? This podcast is the next episode in a new series for CFOs, controllers—really, anyone in finance—asking big questions, like: how do we emerge from a crisis stronger than before? Each week, we’ll focus on a different area that may need your focus in this period of recovery. This week, host Heather Horn sits down with Bhushan Sethi, the joint global leader of PwC’s People & Organization practice.

Topics include:

0:52 - Overview: We begin by looking at the state of reopening the economy and returning to the workplace by highlighting some of the top issues businesses face, including digitizing their business and workforce, improving worker flexibility, and caring for worker well-being.

4:36 - There are no right answers: While each company’s return-to-workplace plans are different, Bhushan shares some common themes from successful companies, such as bold communications and a personalized strategy.

7:31 - Workforce strategy: Bhushan and Heather discuss key focus areas for companies to consider when developing an agile future-of-work plan.

9:39 - Talent management: Bhushan hones in on talent management, including the future skills the finance team needs. 

14:01 - Reskilling: Bhushan and Heather discuss the different models companies are using to work in the current environment.  

17:26 - Future outlook: What will work look like in the summer of 2021? We close with rethinking how we’ll work, engage, and build community.
