myAIPMHow to Manage a Hybrid Team
Rebecca Knight | Harvard Business Review
Summary.
"In the era of Covid-19, the hybrid workplace — one in which some employees are co-located in an office and others are doing their jobs remotely — presents a number of challenges for managers. You need to create practices that ensure employees in the office are in sync with those working from home, and also build fairness and flexibility into your workflow. Talk with your team about how you can best work together in this new environment. Discuss when and how you’ll communicate, who needs to be in on which decisions, and how employees will structure their workdays. Stipulate that all-team meetings continue to take place online, as hybrid meetings are unfair to those not physically in the space. Talk, too, about how your team will adapt to what will certainly be an unpredictable fall. Set priorities and objectives for the week so that people are clear about the most important work that needs to get done. This helps employees remain nimble when disruptions inevitably occur."
