The University of Warwick has a diverse student body. After the covid-19 pandemic, it wanted to improve its Professional Services teams' ability to lead hybrid teams in an inclusive way.

They engaged Hoxby because of our inclusive remote work and leadership experience. We applied this to develop workshops tailored to the university's needs. The workshops focused on fostering effective remote and hybrid leadership. They aligned with Warwick's goal of promoting social inclusion. 

Leaders gained insights by collaborating. They learned to accommodate different work styles. They also learned strategies for managing hybrid teams well. Hoxby's Remote Leadership Diagnostic™ helped assess and improve leadership practices.

Leaders have committed to the approach. They are now measuring the impact and share mutual accountability for results.

Trivallis is one of Wales’ largest social landlords. They manage over 10,000 properties across Rhondda, Cynon, and Taff. 

By late 2019, it had defined a new vision, mission, and culture. It had chosen six priority areas for focus. Trivallis began to make this vision real with a new leadership team and a shift to longer-term planning.  

But in February 2020, three winter storms left a raft of damage across the Trivallis communities. Then followed the first COVID-19 lockdown, and the team shifted to remote work to embed their strategy and culture.

Trivallis asked Hoxby to support their leadership team. They need to set a strong foundation and address immediate challenges. These included an organisational restructure, workforce planning, and work reallocation. 

We assembled highly-skilled experts in organisational effectiveness, with experience of leading remote teams. The pandemic didn’t affect our ways of working, so we were fast to respond and get started, 

Our discovery phase delivered the insights. Trivallis could use it to determine the necessary steps to reach their goals. And, to put the right people with the right skills in the right place at the right time. Working with the Essential 8 framework, we guided the team as they created improvement plans. We also helped them use new tools to track progress through this critical transition to keep their goals on track. They responded positively and are now well on their way.
