Managing Culture and Change 21926, SPRING 2021
Ozfone is an Australian telecommunications and technology company, which markets voice,
mobile, internet access, pay television and other services. The company has more than 5,000
employees and has been selling services to businesses, households and individuals for over 45
years.
With COVID-19 vaccinations now underway, countries are beginning to map out their roadmap
out of lockdown. For companies, it creates important challenges and opportunities as to how
they choose to return to work. That presents an interesting new dynamic for both the employer
and the employee. In 2020, Ozfone was forced to transition its employees from being physically
present in their offices to working remotely. However, at the beginning of 2021, the company
implemented the hybrid working model – allowing employees to work both remotely and in the
office. This was supported by the CEO of the company who is aware that even if a vaccine or
effective treatment will open the possibility of a safe return to the traditional workplace, remote
work will take a permanent place in the employment mix. Hybrid working models, done right,
(1) allow organisations to better achieve innovation and attract talent, (2) lead to higher job
satisfaction and autonomy of employees, and (3) define a future of work that is more flexible,
people-oriented and sustainable.
However, the way how the company approached the hybrid working model has been causing
some serious problems. One of them is that the managers hold an unconscious bias that because
remote workers are not seen in the office they work less as those seen in the office. There is

also the belief that showing up to work, having good attendance and putting in long hours is
more important than the results. Managers feel that they cannot trust that their working-from-
home employees are actually doing the work and as a result, the employees are feeling
micromanaged. The management by results (supporting employee autonomy on when, where
and how they do their work) in the company has been clearly not embraced by the managers.
Moreover, the conditions in the office space are not designed for a hybrid form of collaboration
due to insufficient technological support. Not all meeting rooms are connected to the video
conferencing software which causes remote workers to miss out on important information
because it was communicated in person. The other problem is that the way how meetings are
run has not changed from the pre-Covid version. For example, although most meetings are now
attended by both remote and in-person team members, activities such as brainstorming are done
on a traditional flipchart with paper post-it notes. This leaves remote workers feeling like they
are not part of the team. Apart from that, the physical separation of staff in the ...

Due to this, the standard employer-employee business model needs to change and new options, such as remote workers, need to be considered.

In the coming years, managing revenue cycle employees from their home might be a normal business practice for many healthcare providers. This report explains what telecommuting is and describes the pros and cons of allowing your revenue cycle employees to work from home.
There is a tremendous execution and engagement gap in companies -- 13% of employees are actively engaged and less than half understand the goals.
The problem lies with managers and executives and how they spend their time. Most are bogged down in trivia or don't allocate enough time to valuable leadership activities that engage their teams in goal achievement. But in order to allocate more time to leadership, most managers need more capacity and efficiency.
This slideshare shows where the time goes and how to increase management efficiency to raise your leadership capacity.

normal" of work from home. These survey responses shed light on the
complexities, disconnects and challenges of the future of work.

just for a paycheck
just for the next promotion
but work on behalf of the organization's goals

organization and it’s goals.

19. A Closer Look: Managers
◦ Managers are in line with employees – they are okay with employees
working from home
◦ 70+%of managers are okay with their teams working from home
working from home more than half the time
20. Team Level
Interaction
◦ The primary reaction has been conducting more
meetings, some structured, others at random.
◦ Less than 20% of managers are recognizing the
need to be social - virtually
"...using MS Teams to engage on diverse topics only
loosely related to work (or not at all). Mostly, trying
to facilitate the water cooler conversations we had
over cubicle walls, by the coffee machine and in the
lunch room."
"Weekly social gatherings on zoom with rotating
responsibility for hosting by each team member."
a closer look: managers
21. Changes in 1:1
Interaction
◦ Majority did not change their level of interaction (even though
the interaction is now online)
◦ Managers are resorting to more interactions to check on work,
morale, alignment, and more.
◦ Very few managers realize the need to check beyond just work-
related matters (6%)
Example of step above: "Our conversations are far more relaxed
and I spend more time asking about their personal lives and
sharing about mine."
a closer look: managers
22. Challenges Managing
Teams
◦ There is significant concern over productivity and accountability
◦ Harder to communicate, collaborate and provide feedback
◦ Breakdown of bonds that have been nurtured & inability to create new
bonds
"...Difficult to brainstorm/white board ideas or just talk through issues in
an ad-hoc way"
"Some employees are starting to be less productive as they face burnout
from always being home"
a closer look: managers
23. Manager Perspective Recap
◦ Managers don’t all seem to be in touch with their teams’ non-technical challenges
◦ Accountability and productivity is a top concern for those who see problems
◦ Managers are spending more time communicating with teams, more time with employees to keep up with work
◦ Those managers that recognize WFH challenges are working longer because they have an increased workload of keeping everyone on the
same page, and keeping up employee morale
24. Great managers boost employee productivity by an
average of 11% per employee
• Managers are ULTIMATELY responsible
for creating an environment where
employees thrive and give their very
best
Employees Join
Companies…but
LEAVE MANAGERS
"As a middle manager, you are in
effect a chief executive of an
organization yourself...As a micro
CEO, you can improve your own
and your group's performance and
productivity, whether or not the
rest of the company follows suit.“
- Andy Grove, former CEO & Co-founder of
Intel

the pandemic.

budget in the move to work-from-home

as productive or even more productive

home?
◦ 64% say they would be okay with employees WFH more than half the
more than half the time

workplace such as deadlines, output tracking etc

surveys, customer satisfaction and business metrics
a closer look: senior managers

◦ A majority of senior management is not planning to make any
changes as employees continue to work through the pandemic
◦ About 20% of management is aware of problems and is addressing
them in a variety of ways such as time off or a new technology.
However, the solutions aren’t always aligned with the problems
◦ Yet others are trying to do more touches as a solution
"... Since productivity is lower, we will set higher performance standards
with bonuses"
"Outside speaker sessions; more gatherings on Zoom for fun to simulate
water cooler conversations"
a closer look: senior managers
30. Senior Management Recap
◦ Senior management, along with most others, thought working from home was a temporary situation that would be rectified once the
pandemic was under control.
◦ As a result, they did not change the metrics they used to measure productivity in the workplace
◦ This group needs to be educated on the challenges employees are facing, and shown what the right solutions to solve these
challenges are
31. ◦ Start with a problem CXOs and VPs will
identify with
◦ Make the message highly relevant by
targeting the right people on the right
platform
◦ Follow up with them by email and other
channels
