As more and more organisations formalise their hybrid working policies and more employees express a desire to work from home for at least part of the week, the importance of knowing how to effectively manage a hybrid team is clear. We were delighted to partner with the Diversity Project and Remote Kontrol to develop a practical guide for managers of hybrid teams that looks at some of the different challenges leaders may face and how to set up a hybrid team to work collaboratively and thrive.
Covering the process from setting a team up for success to building a culture that works over the longer term, this short guide includes topics such as
- understanding your own biases as a manager
- understanding your management style and what may need to change
- role modelling what you want from your team
- where to go to seek support
- thinking about outputs rather than location
- Getting the tech and onboarding right
- balancing the needs of the organisation and the individual
- ensuring everyone has a voice and can contribute
- avoiding presenteeism bias
- maintaining your own welfare as a manager
