During the COVID-19 pandemic, millions more people than ever before began working almost exclusively from home. Now, in the pandemic's aftermath, many employees continue to work remotely several days a week while employers struggle to find ways to entice them back into the office.
This emerging hybrid work model is challenging managers to set realistic policies and invest in technology that ensures remote work is engaging, productive and secure. It also introduces new issues in employee onboarding and training, especially for young workers who never had the experience of working in a corporate office.
In this podcast, Steve Lovig, senior HR consultant at Flex HR, an HR outsourcing provider, shares his advice for making hybrid work a positive experience for both employees and employers.
Based in the Atlanta area, Lovig, nicknamed, "Captain HR," has more than 25 years of experience in human capital management. He started his career as an HR specialist at GE Capital, when he had a side gig as a disc jockey, and soon began a series of jobs in senior HR leadership and consulting. He started the HR function at Kaplan, the educational services company, and later was HR director at Homestar Financial Corp. until July 2023, when he joined Flex HR. He continues to maintain his own consultancy.
Other topics discussed in the podcast include:
- how to transmit the corporate culture when so many employees work remotely
- ways to help people feel valued, engaged and motivated
- the optimal mix of remote and on-site work
- what organizations should do to ensure responsible use of AI

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
