Leading the Digital Workplace Transformation in the Covid-19 Context

Digital workplace transformation has been through a huge acceleration due to the enforced remote work caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result many knowledge based organisations had to swiftly use digital technologies to transform their workplaces from the traditional office environment to Work from Home (WFH). In this context, leadership has been identified as critical in the success of the workplace transformation (Chamakiotis, Panteli and Davison, 2021) in the post covid context. Responsive leadership and employee engagement are key dimensions identified in existing literature (Panteli et al, 2019). In this context, there is a need to understand the emerging and successful workplace leadership practices to develop employee engagement as we move towards the new hybrid work environment.
