Workstyle Culture

There are many factors which influence how, when and where we work. Peoplespace has developed a range of tools and techniques to support the development and implementation of a Smart Working culture

Because of the complexities of work, it is tempting to see Smart Working as being all about designing offices and setting up new technology. Whilst these are absorbing and time-consuming, we believe it is essentially about people. It is about bringing about change in the way people work, and empowering them to work in more flexible ways to deliver better services for their colleagues and customers. 

Peoplespace has specific expertise in supporting managers and their teams make the transition to Smart Working. We have developed culture change management techniques to ensure the right solutions are created, which provide a win win outcome for the organisation and its employees.

Our model is designed to review how, where and when people work to create optimum workstyle efficiency, which balances both work and personal needs. (click this highlighted link to jump to the list of workstyle examples on the page of this website titled Flexible Working).
We explore four interdependent elements to ensure a comprehensive assessment is undertaken of the organisation to ensure the right support packages are recommended to take you from current to desired culture.

  • management style and values
  • high-performance workstyle practices
  • innovative physical work environment solutions
  • enabling technologies

A menu of work packages are available to enable you to select the right support package to match the stage you are at in the life cycle of your organisation’s development.

Work packages range from ‘strategic level support’ options, guiding you through the stage of formulating your initiative, to specific tools for ‘one off’ events such as online employee survey tools, designed to capture employee and managements preferences and attitudes towards flexible working, to enable an assessment on the ‘readiness’ of your organisation to embark on the journey to a Smart Working culture.

The transition process is unique to how each organisation manages change.
Areas such as stakeholder analysis / management, communications and consultation are key to supporting the implementation.
We can support Organisations develop their change management strategy to ensure their style of managing change addresses the challenges of implementing Smart working.
