Hybrid working and controls – What should boards think about? | John Mongelard, Technical Manager - Risk & Regulation at ICAEW

The Better Boards Podcast Series

During the pandemic, we all got used to working virtually. The business of Zoom has exploded and it is such a common feature in our lives that it has become a verb. We are all zooming. As restrictions are eased, the discussion is heating up about what the “new normal” looks like. The CEO of Zoom expects sales to rise more than 40% this year. Some organisations order there employees back into the office while others announce that their employees are free to work from anywhere. The future of work has arrived. What do boards need to think about? What does it mean for the controls of the business?

Welcome to the Better Boards podcast series. In this episode, I am delighted to talk with John Mongelard about Hybrid working and controls – What should boards think about?

To fulfil our mission, we give a voice to all who care about creating better boards.
