'Work Made Easy': Guide To A Modern Workplace

In the rapidly evolving landscape of the modern workplace, the challenges and opportunities brought about by the hybrid work model, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), and the enduring effects of the Covid-19 pandemic are reshaping how organisations operate.

In a recently launched book, ‘Work Made Easy,’ the co-authors- Parthajeet Sarma, Founder Director, iDream Advisory; John Hoffmire, Chairman, Cadence Innova; and Raj Krishnamurthy, Founder & CEO, Freespace, offer a comprehensive guide to navigate these complexities, providing practical insights and strategies for organisational leaders, workplace enhancement consultants, and employees alike.

Raj Krishnamurthy, Founder & CEO, Freespace explains, “Making interactions easy has always been my mantra for success. Covid exposed a lot of assumptions we had about the world of work. In some ways it has suddenly shunted us forward, into a future with many unknowns. As executives explore what this means for their company culture, they need a system that will help them make decisions. ‘Work Made Easy’ is the answer, packed with tools and ideas as well as my personal experience founding and growing a workplace tech company into a global venture. It’s a blueprint for implementing successful hybrid strategies grounded in data, insights and human values.”
