Prepare People Leaders for the Hybrid Work Environment
Set hybrid work up for success by providing people leaders with the tools they need to lead within the new model.
- Hybrid work at this scale has not been seen before, and it comes with unique challenges around maintaining social connection, communicating effectively, and ensuring inclusion of all employees.
- These challenges can be overcome with effective people leaders, but effective people leadership in a hybrid working environment looks different than it did in the office. People-leadership behaviors and practices must change if hybrid work is to be successful.
