Hybrid work was supposed to be the future - but is it really here to stay? While many people thrive in flexible work arrangements, major companies like Amazon, Boots, and JP Morgan are reversing course and ordering their teams back to the office full-time. So, what’s next for hybrid working?
In this episode of the OrgDev Podcast, we explore the biggest challenges organisations face in making hybrid work truly effective. How can we design workplaces, teams, and strategies that embrace flexibility? And what role do HR, OD professionals, and managers play in ensuring hybrid work actually works?

With years of experience in helping businesses navigate the future of work, Gary shares insights on what it takes to make hybrid work sustainable, productive, and people-centered
