With many organisations now transitioning to remote and hybrid ways of working on a more permanent basis, the tools OH teams use, and the services they provide, will need to continue to evolve. Collaboration and the ability to share information with other departments will be key to providing a successful OH service.

This free OHW+ webinar, in association with Civica, on 1 September, will focus on how OH is evolving to meet the challenges of new workplace norms.

Janet O’Neill, director of professional development at iOH, will outline the challenges facing the profession; Philippa Hawkins, head of wellbeing services at the University of Birmingham, will share how the university’s paperless OH services were able to seamlessly adjust to new ways of working during the pandemic; and Howard Watson, workforce management sales director at Civica, will highlight the power digitalisation can bring.
