The Global Workforce: The Not So Dirty Secret

Remote working has quickly become normality for us all, but it still brings the challenge of how to get the best out of the people we lead and work with. Issues such as supporting staff and being truly accessible, delivering large projects virtually and effectively leading people virtually are still arising even though we’ve settled into this new routine. At Lane4 we’ve been creating high performing teams for 25 years. Through our experience in elite sport, the military, and business we’ve created a framework to develop a high performing team. We believe this is now more important than ever given that we’re working remotely.

Leading in good times can present challenges but leading through crisis is where we differentiate the best, well-prepared leaders from the rest. During the pandemic, strong leaders and contributors have taught us important lessons that can assist trainers and coaches in building better leaders for the future. How can trainers and leaders leverage hardiness and emotional intelligence to create healthier, psychologically safer and better-supported teams?

The changing nature of organizations and their employees pose a severe challenge to Human Resources. If there is no viable future for the HR functions – HR professionals will inevitably be replaced by software.

During the past two years of intense uncertainty, leading organizations have realized the impact that mental and emotional thriving can have on inspiring overall performance. For innovative talent leaders, employee well-being is not about perks and benefits — it’s a critical part of overall strategy.
