The future of work is changing quickly, and this future is here now. In 2021 we saw the future of work play out as a hybrid structure, which emerged as the foundation of organizational strategy and culture for many organizations. In 2022 understanding how blended work environments and a “remote first mindset” influence key employees’ stay and leave decisions is a necessity, not a nice-to-have. A small collection of daily repeatable micro actions by managers, supervisors of work, and teams in group settings and one-n-one meetings increases employee belonging, inclusion, career progression and development, happiness, engagement, and wellbeing. These include making space for everyone to contribute ideas and to have productive debates when brainstorming solutions to hard problems and infusing social connections into virtual meetings. Join this session to learn what these micro actions are and hear from forward-thinking peers and leaders on how policies and behaviors create productive, value driving outcomes in hybrid work environments.
