Workplace personas with Jessica Hall

Managing a workplace these days can be downright confusing. Hybrid requires a delicate balance between needs and wants at three levels – the organisation, the team and the individual. 

Perhaps the most complex is the individual. Anyone who has ever had a confusing conversation with a colleague, or found themselves caught up in a misunderstanding at work, knows just how complex people can be. 

This makes it worth asking the question, how do we strike the right balance of needs? 

Part of the answer is in first understanding what those needs and wants are. In the hybrid world, we’re not very good at doing that using traditional tools. We’re not even particularly well accustomed with understanding the key, distinguishing elements of the Workplace Experience. 

If we could understand how people respond to the unique demands of the hybrid work model and how their preferences line up with the organisation’s approach, we could better meet their needs at work, and improve their workplace satisfaction and engagement.
