Your workplace needs more WOW. Get ready for MHR's World of Work 2026
Navigate workforce complexity in media and telecoms
Nearly half of newsroom and production staff in major media organisations now work in hybrid models that combine remote editing and coordination with on‑site or field reporting.
Managing hybrid, remote and front-line teams can create complex admin, disconnected data and payroll challenges. In media and telecoms, skills gaps, talent shortages and low engagement make retaining and growing talent even harder.
People management challenges you can’t ignore
- Managing hybrid, remote, field and front-line workers create a complex web of HR admin and a lack of coherent data.
- Skills gaps and talent shortages are threatening the growth of the media and telecoms industry.
- Organisations are seeing retention rates decrease and employee engagement struggle due to progression uncertainty, workloads and a lack of growth.
