DIGITAL FACTORY as them will struggle . Managers that are not coached to manage employees that they can ’ t swing by their desk will struggle . Organisations that do not demonstrate that working remotely is ‘ okay ’ will struggle . And companies that do not empower their people with flexibility and integration will struggle .
“ Having said that , this is not about giving complete control and power to employees without checks and balances . I have seen many structured ‘ work where you are ’ programs deliver greater levels of productivity while at the same time creating happier , more engaged employees .”
Could There be a ‘ One-Size- Fits-All ’ Approach to Hybrid Working in Manufacturing ? Putting it simply , Bragstad comments : “ there is no such thing as one size fits all in anything that we do . Companies can model other organisations , but ultimately , they need to put their own stamp on any initiative . If anyone tells you they have a plug and play solution to hybrid , you should shut the door . It is so much more than technology . Find partners that are flexible and are focused on empowering your people and futureproofing your organisation .”
