The Impact of Trust in Remote Working

Listening to our clients, we know how challenging remote work can be. In response, we want to equip our client network with an in-depth understanding of the crucial role of trust in remote working, and offer expert advice on understanding, managing, and participating in virtual teams.

Lending their expertise in this session were:

Colin Hughes: Head of the Graduate Business School for TU Dublin. Colin’s doctoral dissertation on building trust in remote teams places him in an excellent position to give insight on the topic. His extensive knowledge, evidence-based approach, and talent for making complex topics understandable have earned him a reputation as an expert on the role of trust in remote working.

John Brennan: Managing director of ORS: A progressive and thoughtful leader, John is committed to building a Great Workplace through communication and continuous improvement. John’s academic work on remote working has informed his decision making. Practicing a hybrid working model for the last four years, John was well equipped to offer expert, practical advice.

The panellists discussed and gave their expertise on:

• Productivity and performance issues in a remote setting and how to navigate them
