Watch now: Building and maintaining company culture in a remote working environment

This webinar was originally held on Wednesday 9 December 2020.

94% of executives and 88% of employees believe a distinct workplace culture is important to business success (Deloitte Chairman’s Survey).

For most businesses, company culture is intrinsically linked to being in the office. As we move towards a working model where staff only spend part of their working life in the office, how do employers develop and maintain a company culture fit for purpose for this new way of working?

Our panel of experts shared their experiences of:

• Differences in culture between a predominantly physical and remote working environment
• Best practices in building a company culture in a remote environment
• Getting it wrong: the implications of not having a good culture
• Embedding your culture in your employee governance framework
• The HR team’s role in building and maintaining culture.

Moderated by Kolvin Stone, Head of Technology at Fox Williams our speakers included:
