What do the successful organisations of tomorrow have in common?common Like Hoxby,

they have embraced the new world of work.


Advancing tech, new societal values, globalisation and changing demographics are creating opportunities for businesses to work differently.

Talent is drawn towards organisations that promote an autonomous, flexible style of working.

Businesses that fail to embrace this new world of work will get left behind.

Since our inception in 2015, more than 20,000 people have applied to join Hoxby – such is the demand for this new way of working.

Estimates suggest that more than half of the working UK, EU, and US populations will be working outside of traditional work models within the next five years: as freelancers, contractors, or part of the gig economy.

Don’t get left behind


Here’s what we know…

Global and diverse teams are more creative and innovative.

Individuals with the option to work remotely or flexibly are more engaged, happier and more productive.

Purpose-driven, resilient organisations are better positioned to embrace change.

Agile businesses are able to scale their workforce to drive efficiencies and respond to fluctuating needs.

Meritocratic, self-managing teams perform better.

An Introduction to the future of work – what next?

We explore the future of work, presenting the case for change and stimulating

conversation around where your business is today and where it needs to be tomorrow.

We focus the discussion around three critical questions:

What are the key challenges you are looking to overcome?

What have been the barriers to change in the past and, potentially, in the future?

How could you work differently to overcome them?

Purposeful behaviours every day

Starting with ‘why’, we help ensure your organisation has a purpose that

is defined, embedded, and lived by all.

Considering where you are on the journey, we’ll explore the essence behind your purpose, how people engage with it, how you measure success and how

to build on this for the future.

Using real examples, combined with your own challenges, we’ll help you uncover

what it is to be truly purpose-led, through:

Meaningful existence

Distinctive character

Visible actions

Using culture as an accelerator

Taken from the Hoxby Model of Work, the four elements below describe a

successful culture that can be amplified to drive increased success.

We take each of these in turn, discussing your organisational culture, exploring best practice examples and setting actions against them – in order to

inspire champions of change within your organisation and drive a new openness to change.

Shared beliefs

Model behaviours

Owned symbols

Unique practices

Adopting a super agile structure

To inspire your team, we focus this workshop on how different types of

businesses have embraced the new world of work – and put in place the right working

structure, processes and technology to improve their productivity and attract and retain the best talent.

We apply the Hoxby Model of Work to your organisation to create

a plan for change. We focus on:

Tasking by output

Allocating by expertise
