Introduction

No matter what your work structure was prior to the pandemic, the variety of work structures now are more varied. Working remotely is nothing new but became the norm for many managers and employees. Today some people have returned to being fulltime in the office, others are fulltime remote, and others follow a hybrid model combining several structures. As Managers, we have learned new strategies and techniques over the past few years and now must continue our learning curve.

You are using platforms designed to maximize group interaction and participation. Now is a chance to maximize the efficiency of your online/hybrid meetings and develop practices to maximize your productivity and engagement in the “new normal." Learn the best practices to conduct the meetings efficiently and effectively, accomplish your goals, and get results. In the hybrid world, you cannot afford to operate at anything less than optimal facilitation and participation skills. At the same time, you must be ready for the inevitable technical glitches and be ready to be flexible and calm. Communication, collaboration, and team cohesion are more important than ever. Enhance the skills you need to thrive in this environment and be ready to take the lessons learned and improved approaches to continuously improve.

Analyze the new risks and opportunities you face in the hybrid workplace. Put plans in place to maximize opportunities and minimize risks. Practice proven techniques to enhance engagement for the results you need and your management and customers expect.
