Post-pandemic, the corporate industry is seeing an increase in interest in a hybrid working environment. As the former Hybrid Leader at Blinkist, Ben has worked with the employees in the German e-learning start-up to transform their traditional working environment. Having led the content team from a different country, he developed an understanding that a hybrid working environment ensured that the employees could have a work-life balance which ensured their content could be enjoyed by tens of millions of Blinkist users worldwide.
Having unlocked the secret to creating a positive work environment which results in high performance, Ben shares his knowledge on the two topics which allowed him to get to where he is today. The first being remote and hybrid learning, he aims to raise awareness of the fact that employees do not need to be in the office five days a week to reach their targets. By taking a step away from the workplace, he believes that it gave his employees to focus on the tasks which may have got missed in the busy working environment. The second was hybrid leadership habits. As a result of his experimentation with new organisational systems, he concluded that by creating a self-managed system with distributed authority, it resulted in an increase in productivity and positive results at the company.
Aiming to share his expert knowledge with audiences internationally, Ben Hughes has now become a highly popular speaker to attend a variety of events, from corporate meetings to conferences.
