Thrive With a Hybrid Workplace: Step-By-Step Guidance from the Experts

MAXIMIZE GROWTH & MINIMIZE RISK

In Thrive With a Hybrid Workplace, Julie Kantor, a business psychologist, and Felice Ekelman, an employment attorney, deliver expert guidance to maximize growth and minimize risk in a hybrid workplace. With hybrid work, leaders need to ensure that employees are engaged, remote work is productive, and hybrid teams are collaborating, all within legal guidelines.
 
A hybrid workplace requires organizations and leaders to address issues that can be overlooked or avoided in a full-time in-office work arrangement. Leadership by 'walking down the hall' is no longer enough. Leadership is now to be approached with intentionality.
 
Kantor and Ekelman identify the many challenges that require intentionality including new issues to become aware of and old issues that will need to be addressed differently in the hybrid workplace.
 
This will begin with organizations defining a flexible approach to remote work that aligns with values and business needs. Then leaders can be empowered to make decisions regarding how, where and when work is done. These decisions include and impact achieving success, facilitating engagement, attracting, and retaining talent, clarifying roles and responsibilities, maximizing equity, minimizing bias, and establishing a culture in which employees can thrive. 
 
For those companies who seek to be known as a "best in class" employer, Thrive With a Hybrid Workplace is a must-read for leadership and is a resource leaders will turn to again and again for encouragement and advice.
