Aims of event

Civil Service Local Northwest brings you this session as part of our Reset, Regroup and Restart Connect event which seeks to assist managers as their staff transition back to the office or adapt to a hybrid way of working.

This will be an online event held via Teams and links to the session will be issued nearer the time. Please register for your ticket using your gov.uk email address, any booking made with personal email addresses will not be honoured.

Act of adjusting

As Civil Servants we have a duty to provide the best service possible to civilians across the country. This involves adapting to regular changes in working styles, strategies and demands.

Significant changes in the workplace have had an impact both for those at home and those remaining in the office. Having to face extra challenges can, in places, lead to an increase in feelings of stress and isolation.

We will present research that we have conducted across several Civil Service departments to highlight areas of particular importance as we move through this transitional period.

We will address how we can continue to feature any positive changes in our working patterns and how we can ensure the right levels of support are in place. We will also consider how managers might best be able to navigate feelings of uncertainty that may be felt within a team.

This session is brought to you by one of our Future Leaders Academy families- The Pankhurst Family.

Reset, Regroup, Restart -Connect Event overview

This is about Resetting and taking stock of where we are, Regrouping by coming together and helping one another to plan for what will be an anxious time for our colleagues and Restarting our face to face activities and accepting our new hybrid ways of working.

We will endeavour to provide you with a diverse range of sessions that will help you understand what other departments are doing, sharing best practice and creating a unified community ready to take our finger off the pause button and coming back from Covid stronger, and ready for the future.

There will be a wellbeing focus, as we seek to find ways to support staff back into our offices, whilst recognising their fears and additional support needs.

These sessions will come on a mix and match basis so you just sign up for what interests you, our hope is that you will find several that you just can’t say no to!
