RMIT Online is making a change to digital-first ways of working, at Slack this is called Digital HQ. Research from the Future Forum, a consortium led by Slack, tells us that inflexible return-to-office policies are hammering employee experience scores. How do we build camaraderie and connection in this new environment to attract and retain talent while delivering what both employees and executives want? We used to think of the office as the centre of work; digital tools augmented the office. Now, it’s the reverse: Digital is your HQ, it’s where information flows more transparently, where you find people, resources, and the information you need. Companies who are investing not just in new tools but also transforming ways of working — these are the innovators and they are scoring higher on business performance and employee satisfaction.
