B4 One: Work and Life: All in the Balance with Prof. Simonetta Manfredi

Has the biggest experiment on remote working, forced by the Covid-19 pandemic, helped to rediscover our work-life balance or has it disrupted it? Does technology enable work-life balance or make work all-pervasive? Will flexible working become the new normal? Join this webinar to explore these and other questions on work-life balance from an individual and an organisational perspective.
