COMMUNICATION AT WORK
A CONFERENCE CALL IN REAL LIFE
There is no doubt we can all relate to this experience!! However, the ‘conference call in real life’ is all too common and reinforces why it is so critical to communicate with intention, especially in a flex environment. Establish the preferences and “ground rules” for a conversation and work out the right tools & technology you need for the right context /circumstance to support this communication.
In the video below, Maja outlines how we can optimise our COMMUNICATION to boost collaboration at work…
Four Pillars of Flexibility
#3 COMMUNICATION
What often gets lost when communicating in a work context is humanity. Maja encourages deliberately building human bonds with the person you are in conversation with, in order toenhance human connection and boost collaboration.

Flex in Focus
CASE STUDY: OMD (MEDIA & COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY)
‘We launched our official Flexibility Policy to benefit all individuals and allow staff to have greater control of when and how they work… each employee had the chance to feed into the policy by having their say in a company-wide survey to understand exactly what they need and expect from a flexible workplace. Importantly, the results of our initiatives speak for themselves. 90 per cent of new parents returned last year which is an incredibly positive result…’.
‘Maja and Kate are an absolute pleasure to work with – their passion for flexible working is truly infectious. OMD cannot recommend the Juggle team highly enough in driving the flexible working agenda in your organisation’.
~ Martin Cowie, People & Development Director, OMD ~
