How IT and facilities must join forces for a successful hybrid workplace
The COVID-19 outbreak has not only threatened the health and wellbeing of people worldwide but has also disrupted global business norms. This has caused a host of workplace challenges and forced companies to rapidly adapt their workplace strategies.
Businesses need to reflect on the operational successes and failures during this time of uncertainty. A significant area that companies should focus on is the concept of collaboration between inter-departmental teams. Two departments, IT and facilities, have had a major impact on the smooth and successful implementation of the hybrid workplace.
Pre-pandemic, IT and facilities management were siloed environments. IT ran the digital workspace, and facilities ran the physical workplace. However, over the past 18 months, the IT and facilities teams have joined forces to create the hybrid workplace of today.
In the latest Cloudbooking webinar, we examine why this collaboration was necessary and give real-life examples of the strategy in action. Cloudbooking provides an in-depth discussion with experts in charge of implementing a hybrid workplace for their organization.

Join Gerry Brennan, CEO of Cloudbooking, Daron Hill, Workplace IT at Kimberly-Clark, Colette Temmink, Board of Directors for IFMA and Chief Strategy & Product Officer, Blue Skyre, IBE, and Vanessa D’Arcy, Facilities Manager at The Very Group.
During the talk, the speakers will discuss the hybrid workplace, their experiences, what did and didn’t work, and what methods they could improve upon.
