Optimize People Leadership in the Hybrid Work Environment

Provide people leaders with the necessary tools to successfully lead.

Hybrid work comes with unique challenges around maintaining social connections, communicating effectively, and ensuring the inclusion of all employees. People leaders can overcome these challenges, but effective people leadership in a hybrid environment looks different than it does onsite. People leadership behaviors and practices must change if hybrid work is to be successful.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

Remote work and onsite work provide two different employee experiences. Hybrid work is more than just a blend of the two and requires thoughtful and purposeful people leadership supported by HR to create a cohesive and inclusive employee experience.

Impact and Result

Build a resource toolkit for people leaders to support them in shifting their behavior and practices in a way that is conducive to hybrid work, mitigates challenges, exemplifies cultural values, and drives results. Provide resources that help people leaders lead effectively, promote teamwork, and foster connection in a hybrid environment. Identify pain points of hybrid work that people leaders can impact, and tailor the resources to address those needs. Continually monitor the success of the toolkit and of hybrid work in general. Iterate and adjust as required to successfully enable hybrid work.
