"Teamwork remains the one sustainable competitive advantage that has been largely untapped.” Patrick Lencioni
In the post-lockdown environment, employers have seen the advantages and pitfalls of mass home working. Many are seeing a new norm of more employees being permanently home based, and some working partly from the office and partly from home. Some staff have worked from the employer’s premises throughout the pandemic and others have recently returned. This hybrid workforce creates management and legal challenges which the Forum meeting will be addressing.
The session on Managing Hybrid Teams will consider:
- Managing the team when everyone wants something different!
- Characteristics of high performing teams
- The rise of hybrid teams
- Common benefits and challenges facing managers
- Common pitfalls in managing a hybrid team
- Keeping the team ‘together’
- How to have good conversations about difficult stuff
Together we will create our Top 10 Tips for Managing Hybrid Teams Checklist to take away.
The session on Legal Compliance will cover the following:
- WFH: what the contract and policies should cover
- How to deal with staff reluctant to work from the office
