Episode 23: The Linklaters Ideas Foundry
Speakers: Lila Vialat, Ian Rodwell, Dr Sylwia Ciuk and Dr Kay Galpin

Far from being a temporary phenomenon, it now seems that hybrid working is here to stay. But what does that mean for young people entering the workplace? Do they experience it as liberation or something more problematic? In this episode, we are joined by Dr Sylwia Ciuk and Dr Kay Galpin from Oxford Brookes University who talk about their groundbreaking research into what it is really like to be an early‑career hybrid worker – and the implications for the organisations they work for. During this thought-provoking discussion, we explore the BOND framework (belonging, opportunities for connection, new routines and skills, dedicated support), the reality of “green dot” anxiety and blurred boundaries, and the small, deliberate actions that help young talent thrive. So, if you feel your hybrid model is working just fine or assume that graduates have it all worked out perfectly, this conversation may surprise you.
