The nature of work is changing as a result of new technologies, new approaches to the design of workplaces and aspirations; both for greater productivity in organizations and improved wellbeing for employees. Smart Working provides a strategic and integrated approach to modernizing working practices in this context, and delivering benefits across the ‘triple bottom line’ – to organizations, individuals and the environment.
The importance of this course is brought into sharp focus by the business continuity requirements of organizations during the COVID-19 crisis, and will help prepare you for future threats and disruptions.
