Ep49: Birkbeck, UOL Professor Alexandra Beauregard | Is WFH really better for everyone?
Hybrid work is reshaping how organisations design jobs, manage performance, and support employee well-being. But while flexible work brings clear advantages, it also raises important questions about boundaries, isolation, and what effective work arrangements really look like in practice. Join Professor Alexandra Beauregard, Professor of Organizational Psychology at Birkbeck, University of London, as she shares about the evolving nature of work.She shares about the post-pandemic shift to hybrid work, the trade-offs between remote and in-office arrangements, and the hidden challenges that come with greater flexibility. The discussion also touches on generational differences in work preferences, why early-career employees often experience remote work differently from senior staff, and how organisations can better design flexible work in a way that balances productivity, connection, and well-being.This episode’s host: Professor Eddy Ng, the Smith Professor of Equity and Inclusion in Business at Queen's University and Visiting Professor at James Cook University.

Drawing on his internationally recog-nised work in molecular allergy, immunology and food safety, he will examine emerging patterns in food and environmental allergies, including the growing burden among adults and ageing populations. Integrating molecular, clinical, and population-level perspectives, the talk highlights how climate change, biodiversity shifts, and urban living intersect to influence immune respons-es and chronic inflammatory disease. This session underscores the urgency of advancing tropical health research to inform prevention, diagnosis, and policy in a changing global environment.Connect with James Cook University, Singapore: Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jcu.singapore.fanpage/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jcu_singapore Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jcusingapore Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jcusingapore And for more news and information, visit https://www.jcu.edu.sg/
