We recognise that simply transitioning everything from the office to a virtual space is no longer enough and that the hybrid work place has now become the norm for many of us.
This transition has inadvertently had a negative impact on our mental wellbeing. Issues like staff stress, burnout, an incessant sense of always being on, and the blurring of boundaries between work and personal life have left us feeling drained, and in many ways still grappling with the aftermath of the pandemic.
Nonetheless, there are tangible steps we can take today to restore balance and cultivate contented, healthy hybrid workplaces.

Our aim is to enable the sector to seamlessly integrate digital practices as a fundamental core capability, rather than treating them as exceptional tools for rare circumstances. This support extends to voluntary sector organisations of all sizes, ensuring they can consistently deliver high-quality digital services.
