The New Everyday with Eileen Burbidge Virgin Media Business

What is the business case for hybrid working and how can it help you attract and retain talent? How have attitudes and policies changed in the wake of Covid-19? What have the benefits been for organisations and their employees? And how can we empower people to do their best work and feel connected to each other when they’re no longer in the same building? Our host Eileen Burbidge explores these questions and more alongside Holly Branson, (Chief Purpose and Vision Officer at Virgin) Anna Whitehouse (Mother Pukka, journalist, author, broadcaster and founder of Flex Appeal, a campaign fighting for flexible working for everyone) and Bruce Daisley, (Ex-Twitter European Vice-President, workplace culture enthusiast and author of The Joy of Work).

How have new digital tools and ways of working helped employee productivity? Is engagement a better measure than productivity in a hybrid working world? To discuss, Eileen Burbidge is joined by Janine Chamberlin (UK Country Manager and VP Clients Programme at LinkedIn) and Natalie Nelson (Technical Advice Lead for NatWest Mentor) – plus we also hear from Dr Ben Wright (Chief Clinical Digital Officer for East London NHS Foundation Trust) who explores how the digital delivery of services in healthcare is leading to better patient outcomes and recovery rates.

Eileen Burbidge explores how new ways of working have created more opportunities for parents, carers and disabled people and the positive impact this is having on individuals, organisations and wider society. She is joined by Shani Dhanda (an award-winning disability specialist), Ruth Rainbow (Chair of Virgin Media Business’s neurodiversity network Our Indigo Minds), Dr Grace Lordan (founding director of The Inclusion Initiative and Associate Professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science) and Matt Murdoch (Co-Chair of Virgin Media Business’ carers’ network We Care).

What does Covid-driven digital change look like in local communities across the UK? How is it impacting the people who live and work in these places? And why is digital inclusion more important than ever right now? Our host Eileen Burbidge explores these questions alongside Helen Milner (the award-winning digital inclusion expert and Group Chief Executive at social change charity Good Things Foundation), Professor Mark Gillan (Digital Innovation Commissioner at Belfast City Council) and Phil Swan (Digital Director of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, responsible for implementing Greater Manchester’s Digital Blueprint and Digital Inclusion Agenda).
