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.
