TEAMS365 #2543 – Hybrid Work 101 – Making It Work

Not so long from now, as a vaccine becomes a reality for many, teams, organizations and businesses are likely to be making the shift back into the office for some. With hybrid work arrangements, it’s important to take a look at the following:
Head back to the basics of teams,
Remember the Remote Work Enablers – these are all still important as we move into hybrid work arrangements, the 7 remote enablers are still critical levers for successful workplace results and relationships. The 7 Remote Work Enablers includes:
Which area, or areas, could use more attention?
Revisit your processes - What needs to change when some people are in the office, and others are still working from home, what work processes need to change?
Keep everything simple - One of the mantras of 2020 has been to “keep everything simple”. The complexity is around us when we work remotely, and when we shift to hybrid work arrangements, new layers of complexity emerge – some people working at home/others in the office; a sense that things have returned to how they “once were” when in fact we may be a different business than we were before.
Keeping things simple involves simplifying our practices and processes.
What do you need to simplify?
Related to this is to ensure that there are ways to keep things moving in a way that works for the different styles. Consider bringing things online and moving things forward in a way that works for those who remain virtual and those who are in an office space.
It’s likely to be many more months before a hybrid workplace arrangement exists. What do you want to take note of?
Enjoy your conversations,
