How to Embrace Hybrid Work
During the next three to six months, companies will continue evaluating whether to bring employees back to the office full-time or to embrace a hybrid work environment.
With hybrid workforces, U.S. business leaders have the chance to make workplaces more inclusive and meaningful for all individuals, not just a small, select group. How organizations embrace remote onboarding, employee development, flex workspaces, virtual coffee connections, and staff meetings will dramatically shift the way they create belonging and foster engagement.
Many of your employees are realizing the improvement in their quality of life — from not having to deal with the stress of a commute — which in some urban areas could be upwards of two hours each way — to spending time with family, preparing healthy home-cooked meals, taking walks after dinner. It’s called work-life balance. Organizations can no longer define themselves by their physical location – cool office space and office culture. Companies and leaders will need to prioritize creating a culture of inclusion, by investing in their people and focusing on ways to connect their workforce with limited physical space and travel budgets to gather employees together.
How do we create a workplace where everyone feels a sense of equity, belonging, and inclusion?
Our innovative two-hour program ‘Creating Inclusion and Belonging in the Hybrid Workplace’ is built as a learning lab for the participants to answer questions to define what works best for their business and teams. Download Program Overview
Disconnected Employees? That can change…
Today, companies are investing in their existing and new talent at exponential rates. Their employees are working remotely, in different cities and countries, and having experiences they never did prior to the Pandemic.
The virtual and remote workforce has provided us an opportunity to rethink how we connect. A connection must be intentional to avoid higher employee turnover, disconnects, and unintentional barriers to team building and silos. The combination of the new virtual, remote, and in-person environments provides an opportunity for leaders to think differently about how their teams can “Get Connected”. Well, we have a solution!
54% of employers worldwide said that attracting and retaining employees has rarely been more challenging – the highest in the decade. – Manpower Talent Survey
How can you get your new hires connected? How do you create connections and provide networking opportunities throughout the organization breaking down silos? What are some ways for ERGs to connect with their volunteers and other ERGs? How can leaders help their teams build better partnerships?

- Get to know colleagues and peers in ways beyond surface dialogue and pleasantries.
- Get beyond trivial interactions into real, no-nonsense conversational exchanges.
