Expert Panel on Managing in a Hybrid World
Managing in a Hybrid World
Perspectives from HR & business leaders
Moderator: Alvin Goh
Panellists: Low Peck Kem, Carmen Wee, Stephen Yee
Synopsis:
It’s safe to say the office doesn’t look like it used to. Today’s employees expect more flexibility from their employers. That might mean 100% remote roles for some. But for many staff members and managers, flexibility involves working in hybrid environments.
While managing a team nearly always comes with challenges, hybrid work environments present distinct difficulties. When employees are only in the office part-time, creating a strong sense of connection and culture becomes even more crucial.
Plus, leaders often have to find ways to maintain and measure productivity across different schedules without the crutch of face-to-face communication. So how do you make sure your team is on track?

What is Digital Enablement: Rethinking the Workplace by Chan Chiou Hao, Chief Operation Officer at JustLogin

How can digital enablement help companies deal with market uncertainty, the great resignation, hybrid work and the rise of the gig economy?

I am a consultant and coach in the fitness, health and wellness space, business owner, podcast host, loving husband and doting father.
My compass is guided by the desire to help people. I coach individuals and business owners to find purpose. Together we unlock fruitful solutions, experience growth and achieve targeted success. My focus is to help businesses and organisations harness fitness, health and wellness as the vehicle to build sustainable solutions. These sustainable solutions translate into elevated happiness and fulfilment for the individual and organisation.
I spent my last 20 years in a non-linear career path, working in different industries and helming leadership roles. With a keen focus on transferable skillsets and competencies, I've realised that being a generalist as opposed to a specialist, has allowed me to excel in the different industries and roles I have held. I want to share my experiences and help others achieve similar success as well.
Fitness and sport have always been a big part of my life, having represented Singapore in Water Polo at the Asian Games, Commonwealth Games and SEA Games. The resilience and mental toughness ingrained from years of competitive sport is something that has helped me push through the most trying times in my professional and personal life. As I move into my forties, I now lead my life more as an everyday athlete active in various sports and fitness activities.
I am a firm believer in wellness being the cornerstone to life. By engaging in preventive health strategies, we can fulfil our life’s purpose more energetically. We only have one life, so we must live responsibly and be able to enjoy it.
Come speak to me about Developing Wellness Strategies, Finding Purpose, Building Communities and/or in Optimising your Life!
