Best Practices
- Develop Work Styles for Employees to Choose- (Office, Remote, Hybrid)
- Give Meaningful Reason to come to Office. Don’t need Office to work.
- Always Actively Optimize for Hybrid. Ex- Start meetings with someone remote.
- Make Office Mostly Open and Collaborative. Café spaces. Couches. Meeting Rooms.
- Listen and Adapt. Work Transformation is evolving. Avoid rigid policies.
- Be an Exemplar. As a leader, model your current policies.
- Reach Out…for NO Reason. Call on the phone, no Zoom, just to say, “Hi.”
Inclusion and Belonging
- Inclusion and Belonging are HUGE benefits of Hybrid Work
- More Employees Participate because of Options like Chat.
- All Zoom Boxes are Same Size. Reduces impact of hierarchy and titles.
Concerns
- Avoid New Divide Between Remote and Office Employees
- Provide Career Progression for ALL Work Styles not just 100% Office
- Preserve Office Osmosis Learning for Younger Employees
- Recreate “unintentional collisions” & idea exchange that happens in Office
Summary:
“Work Transformation is a Work in Progress”.
Use these insights, Listen & Adjust to optimize employee engagement and performance.
