A Guide to Hybrid Working

Hybrid working, which is sometimes called “blended working”, is a form of flexible working that allows employees to split their time between attending the workplace and working remotely (usually from home). In the current climate, more and more teams are considering or doing hybrid working. This week’s episode is a guide to hybrid working – the upsides, potential downsides and how to make it work for you and your team. When some team members work remotely for some of their working week or carry out other forms of flexible working, performance can be harder to observe and collaboration more challenging to achieve. Effective team leadership of hybrid-working colleagues therefore requires a different approach, although many of the fundamentals of good performance management (objectives, feedback and timely conversations) remain the same. The tips I share can support you in managing hybrid teams effectively.
