Innovator, entrepreneur and philanthropist [Andrew Barnes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Barnes_(businessman)) has made a career of market-changing innovation and industry digitisation. Most recently, in New Zealand, Andrew triggered a revolution of the entire fiduciary and legal services industries, and the transformation he has led as the founder of [Perpetual Guardian](https://www.perpetualguardian.co.nz/) has positive implications both locally and globally (as evidenced by his announcement of the [four-day week](https://www.4dayweek.com/), which made [headlines](https://www.4dayweek.co.nz/international-media-coverage-results/) around the world). The result has seen him establish 4 Day Week Global and the 4 Day Week Global Foundation with his partner, Charlotte Lockhart. Their vision for this is to provide a community environment for companies, researchers/academics and interested parties to be able to connect and advance this idea as part of the future of work. Through this work he is on the advisory boards of both the US and Ireland 4 Day Week campaigns and the board of the newly created [Wellbeing Research Centre at Oxford University](https://wellbeing.hmc.ox.ac.uk/home). Andrew is a director of Complectus Limited, the company encompassing Perpetual Guardian and several other trustee businesses, is the director of [Coulthard Barnes](https://www.coulthardbarnes.co.nz/), chair of both the Regional Facilities Auckland board and the publicly listed New Zealand payroll provider, [PaySauce](https://www.paysauce.com/). PaySauce recently launched a new draw-down service to give employees interest-free access to money they have already earned as soon as they earn it aimed at preventing people having to resort to pay day lenders (which charge up to 700% interest). Earlier in his career, Andrew identified the opportunity for the evolution of real estate in Australia and was chairman of [realestate.com.au](https://www.realestate.com.au/buy) at the time of its IPO on the ASX. Later, he becameCEO of Bestinvest, a US$5.7billion, UK-based investment management and advisory company, leading the sale to private capital in 2007. He was managing director of Australian Wealth Management Limited, a major Australian wealth management and trustee business that he led to IPO in 2005. Andrew holds an MA from Selwyn College, Cambridge and an ACIB (UK), and has attended the Program for Management Development at Harvard Business School. Andrew also saved the historic classic racing yacht [Ariki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariki_(yacht)) from near-ruin by purchasing her and undertaking an extensive restoration project which saw Ariki re-launched in April 2018 at the National Maritime Museum in Auckland where she is now berthed. Andrew is a sought after keynote speaker and is regularly asked to address audiences internationally on subjects as diverse as governance, philanthropy and business, leadership, entrepreneurship, team culture and change management topics.

Durant 15 ans, Elodie Chevallier a occupé différentes responsabilités en RH : chargée de recrutement, de formation et conseil en gestion de carrière. Parce qu’elle a été interpelée par le nombre de personnes qui avaient jusqu’à présent mené une belle carrière et qui, brusquement voulaient tout changer pour se tourner vers des métiers davantage « porteurs de sens » qu’elle a décidé de débuter une recherche sur le sujet. Cette recherche s’est inscrite dans le cadre d’un doctorat à l’Université de Sherbrooke (Canada). Depuis, Elodie Chevallier est chercheuse-consultante indépendante, elle alimente sa pratique de conseil auprès des entreprises par les apports de ses recherches. Son expertise porte sur le sens au travail individuel et collectif et vise à répondre aux problématiques suivantes : - Quel est le processus de perte de sens au travail et comment identifier les signes avant-coureurs - Comment redonner du sens au travail à ses collaborateurs - Quels sont les impacts d’une digitalisation du travail et/ou d’un changement organisationnel sur le sens au travail. Quelles sont les bonnes pratiques à mettre en place.

Cette année, nous avons toutes et tous expérimenté de nouvelles formes d'organisation. Remote, temps partiel, travail asynchrone sont devenus notre quotidien, qu'on le veuille ou non.

Pour en parler, nous avons invité Élodie Chevalier, chercheuse sur le sens au travail individuel et collectif, et Jérémy Clédat, CEO de WTTJ, qui a récemment mis en place la semaine de 4 jours dans son entreprise.

Cependant, travailler avec un ou une freelance, ce n'est pas qu'un changement de contrat, et il y a de nombreuses subtilités à connaître pour créer une collaboration fructueuse. La sélection, l'onboarding, le management, la motivation... sont autant de sujets qu'il vous faudra adapter aux profils freelance.
Covid-19 is a temporary situation, but constant changes continue to come, some with notice and other with no warning. It should not take something as dramatic as a pandemic for remote work to take root but if there is one positive to take from the rise of coronavirus, it is that it has been an accelerator in enabling agile working solutions. For many, the “new normal” has been the reality for some time. As millions globally adjust to remote work, entire professions and businesses have already been operating on this basis. It is important to create an understanding of that **The Future of Work is not exclusively about remote work**. Many external and internal social economic business factors are constantly changing the assumptions for our business. Remote work as any other solution has many side effects we need as leaders to face & mitigate. Remote work has advantages and disadvantages. At Elements Global Services, we have seen productivity increase during this period of flexibility and our commitment and quality of service delivery have been consistent despite the disruption. Remote work delivers the transactional part, like efficiency, productivity, and cost saving, but is not best suited to dealing with the emotional and relational side of collaboration and work. Things like trust, boundaries and belonging are challenging to build in a virtual workplace setting. So, being productive must be measured in numbers and outputs and balanced with the intangible but vital emotional and relational side to create a foundation for the longer term. “New technologies, AI and changing demographics are causing a shift in how the workforce is structured. Distributed teams and remote workers are enabling organizations to become global, more easily.” [Elements eBook The Future of Work] As leader our challenge is to mitigate those change and turn them to opportunities. We need constantly to update and reshape our leadership elements to adapt to the complexities we face. During the new normal and afterward, companies must provide and deliver all necessary measures to empower employees to work remotely without business interruption. This means giving colleagues digital platforms, tools, and procedures to follow so that they can work efficiently outside of the office when necessary. Least but not last without emotional connection, employees will be acting only transactional and we might lose the value of innovation, relational cooperation and it will not be sustainable to retain employees in a world constantly in changes and everyday tougher competition landscape. The objective should be to have the capability and capacity to work remotely rather than targeting “work from home” as an ultimate objective
HR teams have been under tremendous pressure since the pandemic started. Because of how quick it happened, HRs have had to face new challenges they were not prepared for. The very existence of some businesses is at stake, and the topic of *company culture* can become a lesser priority. Is it a mistake? Would a strong culture be, in fact, the very solution to surviving any crisis? Julie Cristofari, Head of People & Culture at [talent.io](http://talent.io) will discuss this question with our guest, Albane Bressolle-Chataigner, BackMarket's Chief People Office.
